  1. You gonna wildcard him into your Fantasy team? Whoops forgot.....you've already used it!????
  2. Does he have previous? Or are other players involved?....The Icelandic Government have launched an inquiry into sex scandal cover ups! Their FA have resigned en mass!
  3. Sorry bud, I was wrong......see the Man U posts today for proof of that????
  4. Well....it is silly season and at least it's over for a few months!
  5. As expected, a quiet transfer window at our end. Despite most rivals getting shiny new toys, our intentions were made clear early doors irrespective of the rubbish rumours put out by the press. We were never gonna replace Gini, that would hinder the progression of Elliott and Jones. IMO another (right sided) striker would have been useful but JK didn't see one worth buying. (Very young but Gordon may get minutes there). Yes, given what our rivals are spending, it could be a gamble but time will tell. It should be remembered that we still have at least two full International players for every position and also have the likes of Elliott/Jones and possibly Kaide to fit in so things don't look too bad. Despite horrendous injury issues last year we still made third, and this squad won the Premier and Champions League in the two preceding years. We've lost Gini but gained Thiago and Jota in the meantime and CB area has also been strengthened so I remain happy enough.
  6. Hopefully the Mo contract comes soon....left the biggest till last by the looks of things. Don't think Origi has been offered one mate, he is only half way through a five year deal. Just idiots on #twatter doing wind ups
  7. Well done Dale. It comes to something though when we can't even put out an <21 side without half of them being unavailable because of International call ups. Far too much International football around especially for the younger age groups! There should be one youth squad (<18), one <21 and a full International squad only, not a different one for every bloody year group!
  8. Not seen any confirmation and didn't look too serious as he walked off.....but the B'stards will probably only announce it after the window shuts! Further assessment required but 3/4 months seems an exaggeration
  9. Emerson coming in from Barca for 30m euros. Dunno where that leaves Aurier, Doherty and even Tanganga?
  10. 28m euros fee agreed with Leeds. EFC interested but Leeds in box seat.
  11. Edouard going to the Palace....and not to meet the Queen! 18m euros
  12. Leeds are in talks with player and Man U. Will that mean Raphinha is off? Otherwise they don't need a headless chicken like James.
  13. Michael Edwards' contract finishes at the end of the season. Not expected to renew. Will he go out with a bang in the Jan window?
  14. Had the foul been awarded a red would have followed.....just as bad as the Xhaka challenge at City...Souness called it a leg-breaker (and he should know all about them!)???? No mention anywhere about James' challenge on Trincao (straight after WB's clearance off the line) It was diabolical and a defo red card whether on or just off the pitch. Mind you Utd fans probably would have been happy to see him off as he is a waste of space. Can see a last minute sale as I doubt he's needed anymore, particularly when Rashford gets back!
  15. Wasn't as if we hadn't been warned as they'd already tried the move earlier. Robbo got to that one. Agree that a few players could have played better. The Elliott/Salah combo means Hendo on the left which is not his best position. Would have given Keita a go breaking thru the middle for half an hour as that would have put Jorginho under more pressure without Kante alongside him. He ain't the quickest! Could have gone for it as VVD/Matip had Lukaku under wraps so a swap with Fab would have been the move....but it's done now.
  16. I see Dyche's WWE/RU boys were at it again last night, this time v Leeds. How Barnes, Mee and Tarkowski don't get frequent red cards is beyond belief!????
  17. Scores are available. Congrats to Champers with 36, just pipping Balo by a point. In the Overall comp, Jip99 remains our 'Spurs' with smokie36 taking over the Arsenal spot at the foot of the table????

  19. Just goes to show that checking the monitor is for show only. VAR had already told him a red card was due hence the cursory look. Personally wish it had stayed XI v XI but unfortunately the rule is clear if deliberate handball stops a goal. He (perhaps instinctively) attempted to scoop the ball away with his arm so the correct decision was reached. Fair play to Tuchel...he knows how to drill a defence although I wasn't particularly impressed with 'Dave's histrionics at times! As for the VVD v Lukaku hype......only one winner there????.
  20. He can in the Champions/Europa Leagues.....if Cavani is ok with it!
  21. Probably better without hm...iirc they got knocked out by a ten man Porto side last year????
