Agree very much about Stewart’s goal at Sheffield United but for the sheer distance and power it has to be Charles goal for me.

He'll grow up to be a lying fuck like his dad. What, he taught him to ride a bike with no stabilisers? Then took him out for a ride on the local trail? Lying prick.

How is his son going to learn the art of entrepreneurship when his dad tosses off work to go for a bike ride! What sort of lesson is that in working hard so you can build a business.

Oh god don’t say that, you’ll get told you’re clearly not very bright by those with higher IQ’s than you or I. You need to have played at a high level in the game to be astute enough to realise that getting injuries are far more likely in a match situation and therefore randomly resting Peretz for fear of injury during Saturdays match, is a decision that only the truly brilliant minds in the game will understand

We could rest Peretz for Preston and then he gets injured in the warm up for the first leg of the playoffs. If players need a rest, fine, but don't over think things.

Larin v Wrexham was decent. For an athlete that size to pick up that pace so quickly and score so calmly and composed was very good

Not seen another thread about it so thought it was worth discussing. There's a couple of obvious candidates... Finn Vs City at Wembley for the celebration, and it was a damn good finish too. Charles Vs Oxford - outrageous hit from distance. But I'd also like to nominate LND's second away at Sheff Utd. It was the moment he finally announced to us what a good footballer he actually is, after a nightmare couple of injury-plagued years for him. There's probably plenty of other decent shouts but those are the three that stick out for me.

Not sure what Haaland being on the bench for an FA cup game against a team from the league below, has got to do with discussing a scenario about potentially resting him for league games incase he gets injured in the less important ones and it ruins their chances of winning the league, to mirror your stance on Peretz. We rested players in the cup too, against lesser teams in earlier rounds, and rightly so. Pretty sure pep didn’t rest Haaland as he was shit scared of him getting injured against us, as you seem to be with peretz this weekend, so Not sure what your point is there.

Will it help if I have a rest too?

The guy made a pinky promise! The 75k doesn't really exist after that. I feel let down when he asked his son if they could move it. Weak!

The same Haaland who was rested Saturday, until Pep felt he needed him?

We probably wouldn’t but you could say that about any player ever anywhere, injuries are a risk for any player at any time, doesn’t mean we rest them for games that are still semi important and just blindly worry without due cause . And it also doesn’t make you correct for suggesting we almost throw the match just because we’re terrified of key players getting injured. Do city win the league without Haaland? What if he gets injured? You can use that argument about any key player for any side. We don’t just suddenly run scared of selecting our best players, if they don’t need a rest, just in case they get injured. Players will be rested if they need a rest, if they don’t they’ll play. It’s literally as simple as that. We don’t just play the second string as you were originally suggesting. But yeah, I’m clearly not very bright obviously. Neither is anyone else here who’s ridiculing your advocation of playing the kids at Preston. For the record also, us not very bright ones here realise finishing 4th is advantageous due to having the second leg at home, not the time of the kick off. The EFL also think that, hence rewarding the higher finishing play off teams with that clear advantage of playing at home in the 2nd leg. Geniuses like you though seem to disagree and don’t care if we play at home or away first. May want to tell that to the EFL as clearly it doesn’t matter so they need to re think their reward policy for teams finishing 3rd or 4th Cheers Einstein

Simon Squibb is irritating. "Have you got a dream" or whatever to some (apparently) random person, followed by some patronising nonsense. Not for me.

So do we go up if Peretz gets injured or not?

Scienza will definitely be off should promotion not be achieved, especially with the release Clause, definitely good enough for the next level and good luck to him

Get over yourself for fucks sake. How far back did you have to trawl through to see that. Let’s be honest pal you had no fucking idea if he’d be any good or not, neither did I, I’m delighted he’s turned out to be brilliant but let’s not play the high and mighty here because your guess, which is what it was after a handful of games, happened to be correct. Forgive the rest of us after years of terrible management decisions, for having strong reservations. You’re not some Revolutionary genius. As for playing the game at a high standard, pray tell mr high and mighty, what level did you play at? Nice essay though, glad to know you don’t take things personally and don’t hold onto posts from months ago. Personally I think what you’re suggesting in this instance is ridiculous but don’t let that in the way of a personal dig and dredging up something from months ago that is totally irrelevant to what we’re discussing now. You need to accept when someone disagrees and stop getting so hurt and precious. You come across as a complete self entitled clown almost every time you post. No offence though

This is the same Tonda who I told you in November after 4 games was a cut above, and you were the first to cry that he hadn’t been tested against anyone. I dare say it’s the same Tonda you wanted sacked after Hull at home too. You’re clearly not that bright, the context for resting players was outlined in my original post. It’s a requirement in my view based on the ludicrous fixture schedule we have had to play last month. It is incomparable to the Leeds away game in the last promotion season as the weeks before that was an ordinary schedule. People commenting on the likelihood of injury in training compared to a game clearly haven’t played the sport at a good standard. Likelihood of injury is far more in a competitive match. Tonda isn’t stupid and will play somewhere in between a strong side and mass changes. The point remains that you don’t seem to be able to answer. If Peretz got injured against Preston we don’t go up. It’s that simple. If that scenario played out Tonda would get questioned as to why risk him. The same people claiming mass hysteria are the same people praying we make 4th to get a 8:00pm kick off instead of 12:30. I know what I think is more mass hysteria.

Dell-sized mentality As part of the new five year plan the Club World Cup final should be our only priority and we should rest the entire team until then It’s what Cortese would have done

Was not in him who, when we first signed him, had the most bizarre introduction on the official site you can imagine? Something like, "Kenwyne's a really skilled cricketer and he's a natural athlete, so we thought it would be worth letting him have a go at football. EDIT : Research suggests it possibly was him but I may have imagined the cricket reference. Rupert Lowe said when announcing Jones' signing ... “He is a tremendous athlete and the coaching staff believe they can turn him into a very good footballer.

Another reason to rest a few players. Was talking to an Ipswich fan who said it was unusual for McKenna to put two fast wingers against us. He seems to think it might of been a tactic after watching Manchester City attacking our wings in the cup match. Bree certainly looked off his feet and I expect Fellows and Scienza who do the tracking back to cover were a little worn out.

I’m just relieved we didn’t win the FA Cup as last thing we need before the start of a season is the Community Shield game

And assume we are now invoking policies at some corporations where the leadership can’t all travel together for risk of all being wiped out together? Imagine if Jander, Charles, Downes and Bragg all die together, it would leave us incredibly light in midfield
