    The current all time most fouled player ???????? ? It's either current or all time.... and I said current!

     

    Current meaning this season.

     

    You'll probably need clues. I'll check how your getting on by tomorrow.

     

    Hazard. It's a crappy question anyway.

    Who is the current most fouled player in the Premier League?

    This is not clear. This is a quizmaster fail and a half. Is this the current season or could it be the player in the prem whose been fouled the most or is this the current all time most fouled player?

    I'm sorry but that was the biggest quizmaster fail ever.

     

    No clarity at all. 

    In future If all is not clear try answering all questions you pose and maybe you will conjure up a correct answer. Come on then show us how it's done. Don't be shy

    Between two Scottish clubs? Or bought by Scottish club? Or bought or sold by a Scottish club?

     

    We need answers R2D2

    The Scottish PL transfer record. If I'd said between two jocks I'd understand but incoming or outgoing would be the same answer.

    It is open already.

    Bus station 3.

    Terminal 2

    Second floor.

    Not much parking.

    Never been there I saw a fair few old guys wheelchairbound getting retirement extensions in old office. What options are there to get up to the 2nd floor?

    Yeah exactly, I think they've done as well as they realistically could have done. The Leicester season was their big chance to win the league.

    But those same positives must be awful for their manager and the stadium is the issue for his lack of support. It's like the worst timing ever. Best manager they ever had best players they ever had, mostly with best years ahead of them but a skeletal squad that just needs maybe a couple of players to get them over the line. I don't even remember spurs getting a loan signing in for ages. Was van set vaart the last?

    ^Poch has taken Spurs to a 5th 3rd 2nd 3rd finish.

     

    It feels to me that Spurs are at the same place/level/stage as when 'arry took Spurs to a 4th 5th 4th finish. 

     

    Déjà vu.

     

    Thoughts?

     

    To be fair spurs are doing well and with a lot of young blood coming through and very little funds being spent. In contrast to man city who are not prepared to take the chance on their youngsters and need to spend in order to stay 2 pts ahead of the competition. From this view I am not sure it's spurs who are platueing. 1.3 billion spent in 10 years on transfers and to only have a gap of 2 pts between 2nd and 3rd is not platueing and the league this year is tighter than ever. Spurs may end up on a points total that would have won previous seasons.

    Burnley pipped Spurs to signing Crouch then ????

    Vokes  the other way........strange one that. 

    Agreed. Real boring transfer window too. Fairplay to Newcastle for smashing their transfer record. Owen 16m 2004 and before that shearer 15m.

    With all due respect BB, you can't use pre-season tours as a yard stick. Plenty youngsters play in pre-season,  and seem never to be seen or heard of again.

    The lads not following his comments and jumping to conclusions.

     

    He said laporte and Bernardino needed time to settle in and became settled in 2nd season. Assuming I was referring to the youngsters is incorrect. So all content typed after that assumption is just going way off point.

    Guys.... one thing we really shouldn't forget in all of this. It took Sancho a year to break into Dortmund's first team. They didn't play him from the start.

     

    But my general feeling about City's Academy policy remains.

    It took him less than a year and i think you know this and just want to compound the mistake made by city, further. The timeline was ideal for Sancho to take a spot instead of the mahrez buy.

    I've explained the Sancho situation to you.

     

    Mahrez. Pretty sure no City fans were fussed about buying him, we wanted at that time a Fernandinho heir which still don't have. The jury is out on his time at City, but Pep loves him. Think  his problem is he was a big fish in a small pond at Leicester but he's  not so important at City, also think he's still in awe of his surroundings. Bernardo and Laporte both took time and didn't convince us until their 2nd season so hopefully Mahrez will come good.

    Both players mentioned did not have PL experience whereas mahrez had 5/6.

     

    The lad Sancho was not seeking higher wages he was looking for a chance and if you don't give them that they cannot prove themselves and you say not good enough but you can't really know that until the chance is given and clubs seem to have noticed this and they are taking your youth for fun.

     

    How could they not know of his talent and know that all that is needed is a run in the team to get acclimated and on the same note that is the very risk you take when players come from other leagues and because of that it's accepted that they may need a season to get used to the new league.

     

    In mahrez's case it makes the Sancho deal look silly as he did not need mahrez he has plenty of players in that area so the chance to cut a youngster with massive potential was there and he refused to take it and save 60m and create a 70m youth player.  Not taking that chance cost you 120m.

    Truly shocking,all that 1st half possession counting for for sweet fa. There was a time not too long ago where we played direct football....now it.s just too predictable and so so easy to defend against.

     

    Last time you got done by 4 goals was in 1996 by us that was you remember? I bet you were only about 65 then.

    Your all so clever, I know what needs to be done. As I have said I’m disabled and not able to run around or chase him.

    As for setting him chores or tasks to do I have tried that, simple things like Hoover the rug, water my plants he does these at lightning speed and not properly then wanting some money. He has been away for a few day’s/nights at summer camp but is now back and should be at school today. I have not seen him or spoken to him.

    His motor cycle is not working for whatever reason and I won’t pay for the repairs. I’m not being rude but the only sensible comments I’ve had are talk to his school, military training or police.

    I have cooked for him given a head over his roof, money and still get treated like shit.

    If he does not do them properly don't pay him and those chores sound like small jobs. He's 15 he should be doing a 4 hour graft every Sunday that's what I did. I got paid a £1 an hour. Fair enough you are disabled we all read that but don't use that as an excuse it is the way it is and you have to deal with these problems now or thry will escalate fast.
