Re: Lanzini to be BENCHED!?

I think all teams get rid of promising youngsters from time to time. Fabregas gram Barca, Pogba from man Utd are 2 immediate examples that spring to mind. Give tore a chance to fit in and gel though. My main point though was Lanzini will be at the Olympics so if Bilic finds a winning formula while ...

Re: Season Tickets

Received email confirmation for season ticket last week. Hoping it arrives before the Juve game but if not, I'll just go to the ticket office on match day. Keeping the faith for now. Unfortunately I can't commit myself to the Europa game coz I'm starting a new job on the 1st. I'm gutted but work app...

Re: Lanzini to be BENCHED!?

I'm giving Tore the benefit of the doubt at the moment since he's only been with us for 5 minutes, but if his performance against one of his old clubs, Kazan is anything remotely to go by, Lanzini starts every time for me. I just can't shake the feeling we've believed the hype here. I really hope I...

Re: Will Sullivans Net Spend Be + or - This Summer?

Personally I'm not worried or bothered by net spend. Leicester proved last season you don't have to spend big to achieve things. Man city spent huge and although they got far in the champions league and won the league cup, I don't see the amount they spent as a success. If we can get the quality lik...

Re: Lanzini to be BENCHED!?

I think Nordtveit will be a regular bench warmer. Not because of lack of quality but because Noble and Kouyate will be 1st choice in his main position. Bilic took Noble off quite often with 20 odd minutes to go though so that's Nordveits role right there I think. You could be right about Lanzini. I'...

Re: Mitch's lack of faith forfeit...

I try not to let any feelings get involved during pre season. It's never been the best indicator of how any team are going to do. Last season does give me great hope though. Considering we didn't play that many games with Sakho, Valencia or Carroll in the team for any extended period of time, I thi...

Re: Transfer Discussion-Sakho Slated

I've just rang Spire Roding and got through to a woman who was thick as pig shit. I enquired about West Ham and potential medicals booked and she confirmed we have 2 seperate medicals booked in for 2 seperate players. She soon realised her mistake and asked who I was. She proper, proper panicked. I...

Re: So.. strikers

I'm hopeful Calleri joins and hits the ground running like Lanzini did. Hoping he's not another purchase for the dev squad. Sounds like he has ability and potential to get better just like Lanzini. The jury is out with me about Bacca. The highlights I've seen don't give me complete faith in the guy ...

Re: Collymore

I don't like the bloke. And to cry about being ditched by talk sport in a national newspaper is just very very sad.
As for the Ulrika thing.....I totally agree with everyone not condoning it. No need for beating a woman like that, whatever the reason!!
