Re: Dyche

I think overall he's done fantastically well... A 48 point season despite unprecedented chaos behind the scenes and throwing away the first 4 games playing Dobbin and Maupay because we didn't bother to sign anyone is pretty remarkable. We're a largely shit team and yet we would have finished 12th wi...

Re: Arsenal v Everton

Just didn't wanna be unpopular at Arsenal on the final day. That's what it comes down to. Weak as piss. Andy Townsend now talking about how over a full season only 2 points separated the top 2 teams... And that's exactly why it was given as a goal. So much better for the premier league product to h...

Re: Arsenal v Everton

My word that was a ball from a player who's been playing top level footy for 20 years and thinks it's ok to play that type of pass... Unbelievable.

Definitely handball though so don't see this standing... Oh no good old VAR perfectly fine to handball it as long as your one of the top teams.

Re: Summer Transfer Window Discussion

Replacing Doucs is hard because of how much ground he covers off the ball, he somehow manages to be properly part of the midfield three but then also right up alongside DCL all game - not sure Maupay could manage that No he couldn't, but if we played more of a 4-4-2 then it'd be an alternative whic...

Unless I'm mistaken they never released the audio from that one either

Re: VAR and is there a way to fix it?

I've always been in favour of scrapping it, but the standard of officiating this season has been so bad I'm not sure it's even feasible to put full responsibility on this current crop of refs. Maybe their standards have dropped because they're relying on VAR so much, but there needs to be a big impr...

Re: Summer Transfer Window

Split the posts from @PoD1878 thread to here. In other news: https://twitter.com/talkbees_/status/1791461251714793952 We don't have any money and seemed to play Doucoure almost alongside DCL for parts of the season... Wouldn't be against him being a rotation option for Duke if we can't shift him. L...

Re: New Kit

Nothing iconic but I really liked what Hummel did with us. Can't say I'm a big an of us moving to a manufacturer that Villa as a club complained about this season. James in a Hummel Everton shirt is pretty much etched in my brain, was something special even if it didn't last. Also Richy playing in ...

Re: Summer Transfers 2024-25 Season

That's great news on Gana. Totally pissed off young might be here another year. My main issue with Young staying another year isn't how horribly shit he is, but every commentator reminding us every single game for another whole year that he made his debut for Watford whilst Dyche was still on the p...

Re: Thelwell talking strategy

He genuinely wouldn't get in Leeds' starting XI. If we're paying money for him outright then we're being ripped off at more than £15m and even at that I feel like we're still being ripped off. £5m would be acceptable, £10m would be overpaying, £15m would be an abhorrent use of what limited funds we...

Re: Thelwell talking strategy

I think it’s either a loan or nothing for Harrison. Gana was the main one to tie down so that’s great news. I think KT will be hoping that we can survive one more year with the squad we have minus a potential sale of Onana. A successful window means making a profit via Onana, reducing the wage bill...

Not sure I agree on the pace comment, he’s absolutely rapid - like up there with the quickest wingers in the league He's quick but it's a slightly weird quickness imo, can't work out if it's that initial burst isn't quite there but he doesn't get away from a defender the way an absolutely top playe...
