I was at a belting game last Saturday, local club played Kingstonian......the game had everything. End to end stuff, went at each other, just enough niggle, goal disallowed, 3-3 with the equaliser scored in the last 10 minutes so the game finished will a real scrap.....12 inches from the pitch ! Fantastic ! All that for £10 !......can’t beat it mate

As a total aside, I think Germany and Spain have seen the value of good quality mental and tactical coaching for a long time where as the UK is only waking up to the fact the last 5 years. Those countries make coaching qualification a lot more accessible where as the UK and Irish FA’s see it as a bit of a cash cow.

I think what I actually said was “to make it a place players want to come to work” but I could be wrong and it probably amounts to the same thing mate. And I stand by that to be fair, off the back of the steady progression you mentioned, it should have made it easier to bring in decent players.......now don’t confuse that with I wanted or thought we could buy our way to the big time, that holds no interest to me. What you have seen a few teams do is build out of their youth system and drop good quality buy in’s into the equation. I think we are the type of club who have always b

No, fair play to you squire, it looks like you have been proved right......hands up. You know why I thought moving was the head over heart decision so we don’t need to go over all that again. I swallowed it hook, line and sinker.......still, you know the form, we was West Ham fans last year and we will still be West Ham fans next year......disappointment just go’s hand in hand with following our club. I wonder what’s it’s like to support a club that easy to support ? Lol ?
-
Exactly that mate, they would attract him if he thought he could use that resource but he obviously knew or believed that it wasn’t going to be part of the club’s strategy......and from what I can see, it isn’t .

I was catching up on Match of the day last night and watching Southampton, and I was thinking fair play to them sticking with the bloke who’s name I cant spell.....it would have been easy to dump him after the demo job by Leicester but they stuck and he has turned it around. Fair play to them and an example to a few people I reckon. Germany has a very good coach development system by the way.
-
Fact of the matter is mate, a young progressive coach like Pottechino is never going to take a club like us seriously when he stands back and has a look......imho coaches like him will be looking for a club that wants to take itself seriously and support him in his ideas. I think ambition is the word I’m looking for. Thats not us.
-
Our U23 development squad are murdering their counterparts at the likes of Valencia, Wolfsberg, Manchester United etc etc.....why the f**k are we considering buying the likes of Giroud on 90k a week ? Nobody wants him, nobody rates him.....this is a reflection of our policy all along Just had a look, our U23 are top of group 2 in the PL2........I won’t mention who is bottom ! Lol
-
This season has been waiting for us for a while imho, we have gotten away with it for 4 years but now the chickens are coming home to roost. Fact of the matter is, you can’t keep signing over the hill players , players who can’t get in their own squads, players who good teams are willing to release, 8 foot wogs from France, coke heads constantly “injured” and basically players who never took themselves or their football seriously enough to get on at clubs or in a league that matters.......it has absolutely no place in the modern game. Same go’s for managers, employing your journeyman

I have been saying this for ages, it not ideas above my station stuff it’s just football reality as I see it. City and Liverpool have raised the bar for everyone in terms of fitness, style and aggressive, attacking decent passing football where the ball moves quick and the players have to move with it. We have never got near that pace apart from one blip of a season before we left Upton Park under Slav......we have muddled along, happy to stagnate and just “stay up”........clubs just trying to “stay up” have no place in this style of football or the premier league anymore, times have
-
Do you ever remember that game, I think it was Liverpool at home, and we were so terrible that one of our lads climbed out of the stands and ran across and just dived into the scousers? I love stuff like that.
-
Mate, you have to ask yourself why Frank is having a hit and miss season at Chelsea and yet seems to be enjoying the support of the fans and the notoriously fickle board? Could it be that people can get behind young lads who look like they want to play nice football the right way even though they are a way off being the finished article?
-
I’ll tell you something for nothing, the main thing Klopp coaches is the minds of his players make no mistake. When they win that league this year they will have won it purely and simply with their mindset.
-
My little club is a prime example of the battle between how fans think football should be and how football actually is......we are one of the worst for it. Trouble is we get hung up on bollocks stuff really if you look at it and ignore the bit that really matters.
-
No I know mate, I’m just really saying that when you value a player you have to look at what players around him have been valued at and what they are producing for that money

Except for sex tourists !

If Pogba is 90 million then Maddison is definitely 70 at least mate
-
He is overweight, he is too heavy for the prem.......he is exactly where he belongs, amongst 34 years olds in Italy playing at a lot slower pace.
-
In all honesty I’d be pretty happy as a Man U fan at the minute, alright, you don’t seem to be attracting the signings and you are light in some areas but in the whole he is assembling a really tidy young squad there mate. Rashford, Marcial, James, McTominay and young Greenwood all look tidy to me, f**k me, I’d have my club take them in a heartbeat. Ok, you ain’t dominating leagues and won’t for a while but I think you have a lot to be positive about. Put a real top class boss of a midfielder in there, another real good out and out forward and a keeper that inspires confidence a

This last year Klopp has been the best coach in the world......bar none. I don’t believe you can buy that in players, Liverpool under anyone else would be under achievers again
-
I know the lads agent was being a bit of a cock about things mate, but Unt should be getting those players. Still, only 19.....Theres time yet. Maybe he is holding out for a move to my little hammers?........when he is 38 and has two broken legs ! Lol
-
Haaland, a hatrick for Dortmund on his debut.......Unt have to ask themselves why are they not landing players like that.
-
Yeah, course he has ! Lol ?

“Mentally ill son”........lol

I hear from my pal in BC that Trudeau is widely regarded as a f***ing prick
