Amen. A horrible skysportsnews-ism devised to make second-rate pundits & reporters sound intellectual. Anyone repeating it sounds anything but. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

A big shout out to the "ignore" option. It can be a great friend today

You're really spoling us with such reasoned and intelligent debate

Average player, partially-reduced wages, always injured and a d!ck.

I think there's about 15-20 clubs called "Hapoel *something*" Hapoel essentially means "sports club". Bit like "....spor" in Turkey Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

"Last season Spurs finished in the top 4 with the likes of Leicester, Arsenal and Manchester City" No, Spurs finished in the top 4 with Leicester, Arsenal and Manchester City.

This can't be right! I hadn't really heard of him before the summer! He must be a second rate cheapo option!

I did the same - it's pretty challenging to stick with him when his answers take so long. I feel for the guy as he's doing his best to tackle the language and I think that's admirable, but it does mean his answers are fairly basic. Personally I was always pleased that Pochettino stuck with the interpreter for this exact reason. Answers in prezzers are never particularly insightful even when they're in english!

I can only think of The Red Arrows

We definitely needed a second thread about this

Difficult to say isn't it? I once got my paws on Caroline in sixth form. I didn't think I was punching above my weight, but others seemed to think so...

Me neither, and I agree - yes we were. But was that 2nd placed finish not us punching above our weight?

I remember those days too. How many times in those 27 years did we finish in the top half?

I'm not claiming Redmond will adequately replace Mane, but my god it's like groundhog day with this. How many time does this have to be disproved before people stop claiming it?! Only 6 of Norwich's first team squad made more league starts than Redmond (24) last season. He also made 11 substitute appearances.

Every time I hear or read the expression "I want the club to show more ambition" it is clear that what is actually meant is "I want to see the club spend significantly more on transfer fees". Why don't people say what they mean?

Check the thread title, are you a pundit?

I'm all for some Toffee-bashing but "very poor" is harsh. He's no worse than average.

Because in my view "world class" should be reserved for only the very best. The A+ players. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

I always thought that the label "world class" should be reserved for players who would make a "world XI" (- or a world squad if you want to include subs.) Not sure either Fonte or Cedric would make it into that.

Agree on all levels I'd also like to see us involved in some decent games on the European stage - and hope a couple of the youngsters step up and break into the first team.
