Reply | EDB Signs new contract
at 00:53 11 Jun 2024
He got an assist last season.
True Chair did all the work to score, but EDBwas in trouble with two players on him, span away and found Chair with the ball, under pressure.
If a player keeps doing that then they will get assists even if the scorer does all the work. Got to be in the game making a difference to err ... make a difference .. who knew?
Not Dozzell anyway.
Dom Balls contract expires this month ... just staying like!
I'll get my coat. |

Yes, policies, I remember them. I agree with all you stated.
Remember to call him TFS (Two-Faced Starmer). |

Decent player who not only shows for the ball, but demands it.
He has excellent positional sense, can get out of trouble, and can pass the ball simply and effectively.
We will have a great player here if he can improve his tackling and shooting. His shooting is not that bad; he's just been a little unlucky. He needs to try a little better, and I think the goals will come.
Good signing this. |

So, true.
Didn't we start a false rumour once on this site that this bait site picked up, and we got to expose and make fun of them?
How about Ronaldo buying QPR and playing his last season before retirement to get them in the Prem?
Something idiotic like that.
Proper funny that would be. |

As someone on the left, I agree it is a political hit piece, no doubt.
They did one on Rishi but forgot to mention the D-Day lameness.
Part of being in a democracy means that Reform should be allowed to stand and air their views even if people find them abhorrent.
I noticed this piece said nothing about Farage on PFI, as that would have exposed the Blariites who brought it in from a Tory invention. He advocates direct Government borrowing to replace PFI as it's cheaper.
We on the left have been saying this forever. To be clear, I do not agree with Farage. It is he who agrees with us lefties on a leftie policy. We were always aginst PFI, always!
But understand, what he's saying here is that the markets have failed on big infrastructure and the govt is better. That's a clear socialist line, something no one pulls him up on, especially as he always says the Leftie ideas are bad, yet he's advocating one of them.
Note:
We all understand that Blairites are global capitalists (like Cameron), so please don't say Loony Leftie Labour brought in PFI on mass; for us on the left, they are known as New Labour, not Real Labour. We see zero difference between Blair and Cameron. They are both Tories to us.
Also, Stamer is not a socialist despite his statement. I have a new phrase for you that will stick as Starmer will make it stick.
TFS = Two-Faced Starmer.
You read it here first! |

We came 2nd with Gerry as Captain in 76, and did we not make 5th and top London club (Arsenal came 6th) in the '80s?
We should have kept Andy Gray on the wing; he was devastating. Going to Parlarse and playing Mid where he wanted to was no good for us. |

Gordon is not ready and should have been out of the squad, and Grealish should have been retained in the squad as he would have broken down Iceland, the same as Eze started to do when he came on, showing how Gordon is not ready. I suspect even Southgash won't play him again now.
Trippier looks past it; Tyrick Mitchell or Rico Hency should have been taken instead. Having only one known LB in the squad who is injured is abysmal management and fantasy thinking by Southgash.
Mainoo was okay, but he's not the answer against these teams. He got caught out for their Goal, should have been back when Rice went forward and Mainoo did not see the danger until it was too late. TTA should be the one to start against these types of defensive teams as then Rice knows he has to be back all the time as TTA will go forward. Palmer was okay and probably could play better than Foden in the middle. Foden was swamped and that was interesting as now we know how he can be stopped, but it frees up space which Gordon had a lot of but did little with.
In the first half, Southgash tried to lure Iceland into following Kane into the middle (hence his dropping deep) for Foden to push up and get the threw balls. It didn't work, as there was no one to thread those balls, Palmer was on the wing and Foden who could do it was expecting to receive it, and Iceland didn't fall for it. Hence, 45 minutes were wasted on this one pitiful tactic, which was obviously not working after 15 minutes when Iceland did not follow Kane all the way into the middle.
What we learned is that Gordon should not be there and Mainoo should only be used against attacking teams and maybe even not then as he's still not there yet. TTA is up for it, but really needs to be higher up the field in middle to make an impact. Tripper is past it, maybe Gomez is better? Konsa looked decent and possibly better than Guéhi, who is okay but has zero idea going forward and won't score from corners like Konsa can. Stones had his usual one terrible game out of five. Lets hope he goes back to his world class levels, he often does that. One game in five Stones will be gash for whatever reason and then he goes back to being amazing again. I suspect its a concentration thing, but how knows, Pep doesn't.
Gordon, Palmer won't start and possibly Mainoo will be sub as well.
Saka, Bellingham to come in, with Foden moved to the left and I suspect he will put TTA in the middle with Rice told to stay back all the time.
In Southgash we trust. |

He won't go there, especially after what happened with Beale. That would be too risky.
Now, Burnley might tempt him as they have money and a great squad. And he will fancy it in the Prem with two 3 transfer windows under his belt and knowing how to get something out of poor squad (which it will be in the Prem). Let's hope they go for the Sheff Wed manager instead, as he's up north. |

We need to play him in August now and see how he does.
If he is not ready, loan him and get a Prem loan instead.
If he owns it, great, new asset found, and that will be £3m Boro, as we know you love our keepers! |

You make a great point.
Some say we should do the Academy; others say pick up the throwaways from the Prem.
I say we should do both.
We need the Academy to make it harder to steal our talent and attract the ones that get pushed out from the Prem and other leagues.
This way, you may not stay in once you're in, as someone may come along from the outside and be better than you. So, as a player, you have to really go for it all the time. It's harsh, but that's the evil nature of it in reality. |

Yeah, I saw that, too.
He will have been asked to check that before they put it up, which suggests he knows he's out. |

Reply | Eze for England!
at 00:43 4 Jun 2024
This ...
Eze can score goals out of nowhere, and if you are slack and leave him free in the last third, he will punish you badly. He also can race upfield for breakaways, whereas the very talented Grealish, who I have always rated, slows it down.
But remember, this is Southgate, the manager who picked Mason Mount ahead of Foden, Bellingham, Grealish, Saka, Rashford, Maddison, Cole and Eze. Mount!
Mount who cannot even get in the Manure team!
In Southgash we do not trust. |

He's bragging that he's using the latest AI technology (Gemini) to get faster results for our statos (subject-matter-experts). Andy Belk and the like.
We'll see if that makes any difference in our transfer dealings this summer. And if we are doubling down on a Moneyball approach.
The funny part in that statement is "to do what they are already doing", as this reveals he does not know what they really do. That part is worrying. |

I would be surprised if we gave Asmir another year.
I suspect he had nothing on the table, and this is just his Agent trying to put him in the paps and possibly get us to offer something ... anything!
We are only publicly looking at the Dev Squad, so the Ins and Outs are there, as the offy has been showing for the past month.
For the First team, all clubs are waiting until player contracts run out. We shall have targets and hope our offers are better than the other teams' or that teams miss out on a player for whatever reason. This should happen after the Euros, I would assume.
I quite like the idea of Walsh as the first-choice keeper. Play him in August. If he's not up to it, we can sign a loan from a Premier League club instead before the deadline closes. But then I am biased to always play the kids. |

Asmir did okay, in my view some great saves, especially against Boro, that won us points under Gaz.
His mistakes were the usual expected over season.
However, his stats are not great even if you compare them to other keepers who also had to play behind terrible defences. And we have seen that he's not as mobile coming out and helping stop breakaways.
Adding in he's bound to be on big monies for us and that means we should be looking elsewhere.
Hopefully, we shall.
Remember, if you get rid of your Dozzells, you can use the money saved to get some Andersens in.
Asmir did his job; now we move on. |

Very bad news for us.
We all wanted Dykes to do well and score worldies and make him a feared forward at the Euro's so ... we could sell him and laugh at whoever took him of us.
Now, we are stuck with him for sure, this is so depressing :( |
