redkeith Posted 30 December, 2023 Share Posted 30 December, 2023 6 hours ago, Convict Colony said: just some beauties from the leeds forum "Playing Piroe is like starting with 10 men." "I reckon DF is DOF material rather than manager." 'My god, I feel so disillusioned & drained after what was a horrific display." I watched Leeds at Preston last week. When the keeper got sent off, I was trying to work out who they would take off to bring another keeper. I was stunned when it was Piroe, as I had realised he was playing ! That was the first time the commentary mentioned him in 60 odd minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be controversial but I think WBA were best team we played at SMS this season so far - by a margin. I’m not surprised they have players in demand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 30 December, 2023 Share Posted 30 December, 2023 (edited) I think the quality of the PL this year is as bad as I can remember it. Credit to Luton for coming back and almost snatching it, but what are Chelsea doing? They're just a mess. Luton giving it a good go, but competent teams wouldn't have let them do that. Everton have had 10 points deducted this season and are above the bottom 3. No clear team for the title either, just a miss mash of inconsistency. Makes for entertaining viewing, but the quality is certainly lacking. Edited 30 December, 2023 by S-Clarke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Enjoyed that game. Liverpool playing some lovely stuff with Salah at the centre of everything. Man City are going to have to capitalise on his absence for the AFCON. 7 defeats in the last 8 in all competitions for Newcastle. Will they sack Howe and let someone else come in and spend money in the transfer window or keep him and buy new players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 14 hours ago, Lighthouse said: F**k me that’s an absolutely dreadful dive from Jota and VAR hasn’t overturned it. I think that second Pen was the worst I've seen. PGMOL have absolutely ruined football. The handball law is all over the place to the point where I don't think anyone can be clear on what the rule is. They've absolutely ballsed up VAR to the point where I don't think you'd get a single supporter of it. But worst of all, they've seemingly set a precidence where any contact inside the box is now a penatly. They're encouraging players to dive and look for contact. i actually feel a bit sorry for ref's. Its a bloody hard job at that level and I'd say they make more decisions right than wrong, but they're just not allowed to use any common sense - on the field or behind a screen. A big change is needed at the top. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Two former academy players and club captains gracing the London Stadium atm. Highlights we've had some great times and sadly fallen a long way - but then hopefully its the start of a new exciting journey. Just a shame that we've got no real academy "stars" in the side currently, although i know smallbone is an academy lad.

Think they had quite a changed side and missed a hatful of chances as well as the penalty misses.

FarehamSaintJames Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Sheffield Wednesday next week will be tough.

Or alternatively they'll press and we'll pass through them and create a load of chances. Maybe we'll make and error, maybe we won't. I wish we'd stop pissing around with it at the back because I'm really fed up that playing like that has contributed to our longest unbeaten run in a 100 years or something. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
