Nah Adams is shit. For the £15m we paid for him, we could have got Cavani for nothing. Noddy club 😉

Ah you bugger, you beat me to it 😉

It really wasnt. We have played this way for a while, and Ralph has been here almost 3 years. Our play continued from our great end of season form from last year. Unless you think the games we played where we did great, none of the opposition managers did any prep work. So, as you say we got worked out by other teams, how come they didnt do that during our good spell? Now, I'm not saying Ralph has been perfect in 2021, but shit happens, and our form has been a combination of many things. Now, I'm not expecting a rationale, reasonable response from you. Just thought I'd mention I dont quite see this how you do and to offer a different angle 👍

We may finish there, we may not. If we finish 15th or higher, whilst not great isn't too bad either. And it gives us so much more to achieve next season 🤣

Pretty decent thought. Redmond has resale value now, and Theo on a free. I'd imagine wages could be similar, maybe Theo now cheaper. They're about as good as one another, so wouldn't be the worst deal ever for us.

I’d argue they wont - many of their players are on loan.

Surely if we finish 17th or better, over 38 games, we do deserve to stay up, or am I missing something? Next season you may be correct.

So, in 55 years of top flight football, we have been dining at the upper table for about 45 years. Not bad for shit team, with no ambition!

See, I see this as a sign we are getting better than Theo, better than what we have.

Ralph did say about keeping some funds back go the end of the window for bargains. Think we will get 2 or 3 early, Theo confirmed, then wait like a Praying Mantis.

Yep true. I think for what he cost he has done as I'd expect. He could have a few more goals with better luck and more composure. I think he can get around 10 next season, which considering his all round game, would be a bad return from his role. Main striker though, we may be done for. I do wonder if Ralph will try Oba in the next couple of games.

I agree. So if Leeds came in with £15-20m for him, would you be tempted?

I've said he may get a few more this season. I was only kidding about next season, fuck knows how many he will get. Literally, again, you twist people's words that are in black and white. I said he may get 17, then again, he may not. Try reading what has been said, and not what hasn't.

Didnt he try to delicately chip the 1st chance last night? Maybe if he had it could have flown through the keepers legs.

Look, if you feel someone asking relevant Qs on a random internet forum if winding you up, then dont read what I write. I'm pretty happy with how I'm interacting. 😘

Fuck me, I thought you were pretty thick before, I didnt realise what a total moron you are. Laters mensa.

So, he averages just over 9 goals a season then. I’m not saying we cant do better - but his average is pretty close to what others are claiming. Who knows, next season we could be fending off offers after he hits 17 by Xmas. Then again, maybe we wont 😂 That said - I can see him getting 2 or 3 more this season.

Am i? And how would you know? Do you always make sweeping assumptions about people and situations. Bet that serves you well in life 😂 I am never happy if we lose, even worse if we get hammered. But, credit were it is due, we played well yesterday. We pressed them well, had good shape and organisation. Defensively looked miles better that in recent games. In fact, we have looked much better in our last 3 league games - could be we have turned a bit of a corner. Now, we may lose v Palace on Tues - it is possible. Maybe if you reply, you could let us know why you feel the way you do about the team, performance etc. If not, not really much to say after all, is there 👍

They weren’t shite. And we are still missing Ings. That was probably the difference last night. Did you not feel we are playing miles better? If not, not sure I can help you fella...

Is this a reaction to playing pretty well against Liverpool, and losing? Why wont you be able to wait until we’ve played 38 games - what would getting him gone now actually achieve?

But hang on, you said originally he had a shit attitude, that's why he lost the captaincy. Now you're saying its also declining performance. I'm with you on his performance had gone noticeably downhill, and I only Qd the attitude peice which was so subjective. That was what I disagreed with, and not that hes gone off the boil, think maybe you didnt quite explain that bit earlier, maybe I missed it 👍

As i stated above this post, if he fell out with Ralph, and battled back into the team, he didnt do that with a piss poor attitude. But ok, if it makes you feel better, it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. Anyhow, have this one on me 😉

Well, that is possible, it could be he wears frustrated under the utter crap he played in prior to Ralph, under MP2. It may be he Q’d Ralphs tactics, got a bollocking, knuckled down, and got on with it, and got back in the team. I think that attitude isn’t so bad personally.

Think you may be overlooking stuff fella. My point, not that I’m trying to get you to change your opinion, is something happened, I thought they fell out, but that doesn’t mean Ryan has a bad attitude - perhaps if he did, he wouldn’t have played so many games as he has, and we wouldn’t have wanted him to sign a new deal. You are purely speculating his attitude is bad.
