Fingers crossed for the latter.
Premier League 14/1/25 - 20/1/25
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
Out of contract this summer
Who did VVD blame for Forests goal?
Agreed, think hes a cracking player.
All I ever hear their fans do is moan about how they nearly did this or that, or should’ve won this, or could’ve signed so and so.
Should’ve won the league in 2016, should’ve won back to back titles in the last 2 years, would’ve beat United if they had a striker*…
*Which never much sense. How is it anybody else’s fault that Kai havertz can’t finish his dinner? All you’re really saying is ‘we’d have won that if we had better players’ - which everyone else can say about every game ever!

Looking at the table it’s going to be hard for us to move further up the table even if we win a few games. Teams like West Ham will start winning again now
Could he play at wing back?
The only problem is Arsenal are shit.
A ST would help them but let’s not pretend that’s all they need. City won the league with Jesus starting and even without playing a ST sometimes. They’ve dropped points with a ST.
Get him in!
I don’t want to say this is the start of some great downfall or anything, but a lot of people earlier in the season spotted that Liverpool weren’t all that good, just clinical. Which can’t last forever.
Agreed. There just bottlers who have just become a top 4 team since the Wenger days.
Van Dijk has developed a nasty habit of pushing and shoving any opposition player he comes into contact with once the ball has left their immediate vicinity. The faux hard-man act really doesn’t suit him. I’d love for Zlatan, Drogba, Shearer, Cantona, Hughes and the like to be still active. They’d sort the arrogant twat out good and proper.
Awful decision making in the final third is letting us down here.

It’s no coincidence in my mind that Van Dijk becoming the world best defender happened to coincide with the biggest dearth of centre forwards in living memory.
They’ve beaten pretty much every team in front of them except the team there loosing to tonight. And drew a few. What goes for them is the fact they rarely ever pick up long term injuries to their best players. They must have some of the best fitness coaches and doctors in the league.
He's overrated as hell. He's not as good as we are told by the pundits. He's a grade A twat too.
Wanna see a race between Elanga and Van Dijk
Another one of those games whereby you'll score with your first shot on target.
Physical players they are but you also need a bit of a bastard so its Diego Costa for me.
Also the way the refs hand them penalties and points helps.
It'll be a shot off target deflected in off someone's arse.
Very true. That’s down to that German manager they use to have. Constantly nagging them. Since they get everything
They might have been top class till December but they've been very inconsistent since. This will be the 4th game in 7 league matches where they drop points and ofcourse that loss to Spurs. Arsenal need to stop feeling sorry for themselves, give themselves a kick up their arse and go on a run. The title is there for the taking.
Crouch reckons he’s the best he’s ever seen.
I’d respond teams don’t play with decent no. 9s anymore and if they do then VVD would struggle.
He's one of the most faux hard-men Ive seen in the league. There's been a few around in recent years, the current Newcastle crop has plenty, but would get absolutely battered by most half decent midfields of the 90s and 00s.
Really hope Brentford hold on. Or nick it. A season without city in the CL would be fun to watch and will be a test to see how many players want to jump ship in the summer
Agreed. I find it funny when he’s always mentioned in the same sentence as Vidic and Terry. Those guys had proper ST to play against.
True but without Saka there is no consistent goal threat.
After the way Arsenal cheated against us on Sunday I’d rather they didn’t win the league. I’d prefer Chelsea at this point to get some form back and go on a winning run.
Amazing business from Forest getting Murillo and Milenković for a combined total of £30m
Also true. They really messed up with signing Havertz over a proper ST and also signing CBs when they had a very solid defence last season. They needed to improve attack.
Don't City have an okayish 9?
What's that Zombie chant Forest are singing?
Rushing too much.
Slot looking rattled
