now the new season has begun in earnest here is the new current season link
Anyone see the match tonight ? ,good old fashioned end to end stuff ,should act as a warning to anyone who thinks this LG will be a piece of piss .
Brentford interested for £40million...personally i'd snatch their hands off because defensively he is a nightmare and it would not surprise me one bit if he gets pushed further up the pitch long term whoever he plays for...so good profit made? or are we crazy to even think of letting him go?
Saw Nuno's interview yesterday and an insinuation that some academy players will be being selected. Says to me that the cup is not a priority then?
Just watched a video explaining the new rules for the championship and have to say i liked the idea of a couple of them and just hope refs are consistent in enforcing them......first one i liked is player being subbed their will be a 10 second countdown to leave the pitch if they dont then the sub coming on will not be allowed to for a full minute and only then if the ball has gone out of play and the second one ohh yesss shame its not in the prem..Can you hear me Arteta....Gk's who go down "injured" get treatment because they cannot leave the field of play the manager has to take off one outfield player for a full minute this hopefully stops the "professionalism" or as fans see it FUCKING CHEATING BASTARDS from stopping the flow of the game........
Any truth in the rumours????
Grandkids want replica shirt young lad at work told me to look at this site if buying a shirt so now to all you old farts on here if it helps with the young ones in your families getting a shirt the sites name is okjersey.com and to say they are reasonable is no lie.
I'll keep this short and sweet. Now I know Nuno has got very good previous here with Wolves promotion. So I don't really see any bumps in the road. But in my opinion we cannot, and should not, bring our Premier League mentality to the Championship.
I watched a fair bit of the Championship last season and as a football anorak. The difference in playing style is as obvious as Bonnie Blue in charge of a Nunnery. Night and day difference.
So I'm not telling Nuno how to do his job, but the mindset and combative battling have to be there from the outset. Burnley will be in a similar position, so the contrast will not be so evident. But it won't take long to wake up. This is a whole different ball game.
Bit like the good old days when the only foreign transfers that happened were Scots coming down to play in Div 1....A snippet in the papers once a week then suddenly "XXXXX" signs for the Hammers and as fans we thought wow wonder who he is if he is any good etc where as nowadays every bloody player has some you tube channel showcasing his talents and suddenly we are all experts on the player.
But back to the Club..the recent dealings regarding sales whilst we all new who would for sure be leaving the club were not saying anything rather let media outlets fan channels etc speculate over the price and such and how much we should sell for as valuations way inflated and nobody would pay up...Radio silence from the club nothing until the price was met and the deal done...now i think we can all agree that had the other lot still been in charge instead of the over £140million we got for both players their would of been story after story about how we have to sell before we can buy we really need to sell blah blah blah and if we had got anywhere near £100million for both we would of been amazed.
So are you happier with this new way (proper) of going about our dealings or are you needing the drug of constant links and Chairman led gossip leading to chaos.
One last thing to note although i mentioned the Scots coming down as regular transfers in the summer in those long ago days i have to say(nope not talking the great Clyde Best here) i rmbr going to this match and seeing this Lad make his debut and score for us.....and come on now that is the proper away kit you have to agree...
With the Playoffs now extended down to the top eight if we are not in that then we are in shit! but my biggest fear is Nuno...the way he falls out with players and that's it you are done regardless of what it may mean to the team is a big worry for me....Now do not get me wrong i am all for discipline and showing players who is in charge but seemingly holding grudges for some sleight really he needs to grow up and get a thicker skin.......His tactics well we all no them but let us see if his best mate now alongside him can help remedy his shall we say over cautious way of playing.....I am looking forward to the new season and hopefully football on the front foot for a change and with the Portsmouth cup game already a sell out well i am sure their are plenty of other supporters of other clubs who cast a jealous eye our way and many smaller sides looking forward to a nice payday when we come to town...COYI lets win the bloody Championship.
