  1. The fee is normally low given that they agreed to a buy-back clause. Works for both teams. They get a real talent for a steal. For us, on the other hand, 4-5m extra are insignificant, but we do get to save a lot more if he manages to achieve his full potential and turn into a player than can be starter here.
  2. Don't you just love it when the wankers turn on each other?
  3. The actual FULL interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip-rFwIeIeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HplGCLR28VA
  4. Because that would only increase the ban to 4 matches. No because for him to get a retrospective bad, the ref would have to admit that he had missed an incident that was "on the ball" which he would never do.
  5. Which means that he'll be getting a serious injury in the next couple of weeks...
  6. No it goes to show very little because the sample size without him is almost negligible. And even if we had played 37 matches without Matic, those with and without stats are ALWAYS meaningless because there are literally countless factors at work. Football cannot be quantified like that.
  7. Even if they did, can you imagine what the spirit in the dressing room must be like? Even if they could play, I'm not sure the players are mentally prepared to.
  8. That dig at Wenger! Erm, cancer? Child abuse? Caging animals? Climate change? Crime? Censorship? Cyber bullying? Corruption? Capital punishment?...etc. I like this game
  9. You just had to jinx it, didn't you?! Wasn't it Soldado? And there was definitely contact from behind from Song.
  10. Yeah, we can definitely forget about him on the touch line against Spurs.
  11. The president was attempting to make something last minute, but if he really could do something he would have done so some time ago. They certainly look gone, but you never know, though.
  12. They had a really incredible team between 98 and '00. Btw, this isn't official yet. There is still some slim hope, by my understanding. But their game today is postponed because they can't pay for stewards and security!
  13. Gianfranco was with them earlier. The ones I mentioned were all at the same time or within 2-3 seasons of each other!
  14. He wasn't particularly bad, but didn't really impress in any way. Needs time and needs lower expectations from the fans.
  15. Certainly didn't help that we had no one centrally who knows how to smartly occupy the spaces in between to block movement and passing lanes. Should have just brought on Cahill at DM...
  16. What a shame if correct.... How did it go from Buffon, Crespo, Thuram, Canavaro...etc. in the late 1990s to this in just 15 years?! EDIT: Veron and Di Vaio as well! Damn, what a team!
  17. We had no DM and two CMs (cesc and rami) that like to chase the ball out of position. People always moan when Jose brings Mikel on, but had he been on the bench today, we probably would have kept a clean sheet.
  18. It's incredibly difficult against teams like Burnley because with 10 men we can't press their defenders which allows them to play the way they want to that is launching long balls forward. Honestly, I'd rather play with ten men against teams like Spurs or Everton or Southampton rather than Burnley or Palace.
  19. Of course they have! Anyone who has played any sort of contact sport, at any level, knows that Matic's reaction was completely normal and he had every right to that reaction.
  20. How about unbiased refs? Aren't those supposed to be part of the game?!
  21. The adrenalin of wanting to kill the guy that hurt you always beats the pain while you're playing sport. What eye for eye? It's a nearly broken leg for a push. I've seen it countless times that players have this very same reaction after this type of tackles and the ref usually gives them nothing, a booking at most. That's because refs understand that he has every right to be that upset about a tackle like that.
  22. I'm not having of that "should have kept his cool" nonsense. He's bloody lucky to have kept his bones intact!
  23. Jose should come out and call Atkinson a fucking wanker and the FA a bunch of twats. I'll pay his fine myself if he does.
