  1. Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed

    He might not be solely to blame but to absolve him of blame is equally baffling. He was responsible for some very poor recruitment decisions and his insistence on trying to cover 50% of the field with just Casemiro was simply suicidal from a tactical standpoint. I won't say he is a bad manager...

  2. Europa League 24/25

    England get 6. There was even a scenario where we could have got 7 as the rules have changed so had Villa won the CL and not qualified through league position they would be in as champions along with the top 5 and the winner of the Europa League. The 2 Europa League spots would then go to the...

  3. Jonathan Tah

    He has been determined to run his contract down for a while and much like Trent I think he has known exactly where he is going this summer for quite some time. I don't think we would realistically be an option for him.

  4. Antony | 2024/25 Performances | Loan to Real Betis

    The Mirror, The Sun, normal clickbaity kind of sites. I don't think it is nothing but of course until someone like Ornstein or Stone reports it I take it with a pinch of salt. We seem to be happy enough to let him go for 35M as that will makes us whole from a PSR perspective and that is...

  5. Liam Delap | £30m release clause?

    One caveat to that is that we know we have the 90M earmarked for Cunha and Delap as it was confirmed by Ornstein who is as reliable as we are likely to find. The comment about further incomings being dependent on player sales did not clarify what percentage of funds raised would be available to...

  6. Ruud van Nistelrooy | Leicester Manager

    Oh my aching sides. Counter attack is a style of play, I cannot believe I have to explain that to a fan of the team that won a PL title by doing exactly that in every game.

  7. Ruud van Nistelrooy | Leicester Manager

    Clear trolling from the Leicester man. Don't be talking shite about Ole just because your club is ending its last ever season in the Premier League.

  8. Liam Delap | £30m release clause?

    I have seen it but there are a number of names on there that I would expect to perform at a lower level than Delap and even then not all will be moving. Arsenal have to sign a striker, Liverpool are looking to replace Nunez, Villa want a striker, Chelsea want a striker, Newcastle want a striker...

  9. Liam Delap | £30m release clause?

    I don't disagree but with the paucity of striking options and the number of clubs competing for their services I cannot imagine any club will be signing two forwards and so it becomes a case of either or and even then we could be turned down. Delap seems to be the target we are pursuing and...

  10. Victor Lindelöf | 2024/25 Performances

    It is mostly just due to the fact that he has been here for a long time during what has been a fairly awful decline at the club that has coincided with 115 and even more annoyingly the dippers winning league titles and Champions leagues. He has come to symbolize the drop in standards at the...

  11. Victor Lindelöf | 2024/25 Performances

    All the short, fat, bald men raging in this thread because they are jealous of our Victor and his model looks.

  12. Athletic Club vs Manchester United

    He is the current manager of Macclesfield I believe.

  13. Athletic Club vs Manchester United

    And yet we would have been 1-0 down without him, the paradox of the Iceman.

  14. Athletic Club vs Manchester United

    Handsome bugger but a bit shit at football.

  15. Athletic Club vs Manchester United

    I don't think anyone expected less from the start of this tie. It is a question of surviving until they use up a lot of their adrenaline and then hopefully getting on the front foot as the game progresses.
