he has fallen off the map completely. also think that playing alongside guimaraes, paqueta and caqueret was making him look a lot better than he actually is.

he’ll get a light runout in our final three league games after we win the league at shite hart lane

ferguson hype mystifies me. i know he’s had his moments, but more often than not he looks anonymous. he doesn’t get on the end of a ton of chances and his hold-up and link-up play have long way to go. i know he’s got a flamethrower, but so do a lot of players. cant help but think someone is going to dump £120m on him for the next andy carroll.

believe it’s been confirmed this is the same person as AFC Camden. both accounts have proven to be pretty on point, up there with TNAT.

if you exclude zinchenko (which i do, because he plays a completely different role and isn’t interchangeable with these players), we have a group of center backs and combo defenders on par with any club in the world. city are able to rotate their defenders and endure injury issues better than anyone because of the versatility and depth they have, and this group is starting to look an awful lot like theirs. plus: the oldest one is only 25. their ceiling as a group is probably still 2-3 years away.

if we can wrap up tomiyasu, we will have an incredible platform back there and i think we can really focus our attention on bringing in an A+ attacking player and a younger midfielder to replace one of jorginho or partey in the summer. the osimhen links make sense when you look at how well manned we are in other parts of the pitch. next summer will be about quality and not quantity.

It’s literally a dead rubber. There is zero reason to play the likes of Kai, Zinchenko and Tomiyasu given fixture congestion and fitness issues.

mathew ryan.

youth level only: donyell malen.

The collective owners of the premier league clubs could put a pretty swift end to this if they wanted. They hold the power in this dynamic, not vice versa. League and referees association are trying to set a dangerous precedent here that will ultimately just encourage more bad refereeing and further tip the accountability scale away from match officials. It’s time for the clubs to set aside petty enmities and force change in the VAR system.

Most of you are too young to have actually seen hleb and it’s really showing in this thread

ToTS could end up being van dijk and saliba … just imagine those two together in peak form … most casually dominant cb pairing imaginable

anyone ever see this screen when f5ing ticket exchange?

it’s usually accompanied by the “include ticket exchange” toggle flickering on the screen for a second. i have a theory that this means ticket exchange tickets were either just purchased or are about to show up. anyone have any insight?

no.

there, saved you a click.

this from a poster whose handle is “sheikh n bake.” shameless cunts.

“In each of the seven seasons that followed the 1990 World Cup, Wright never scored fewer than 23 goals a season for his club. He scored 25 goals for Crystal Palace during the 1990–91 campaign before going on to break the 30 club-goal barrier five times in the following six seasons. Despite Wright’s goalscoring feats, the highest number of games he started for England consecutively was three—something he only did twice.”

Farcical.

Am I the only one who finds it a bit lame for a senior player to come into a u21 match and insist on taking both pens?

an alexis-van persie-saka front three would fucking coooooooooook.

(and yet it would still be no match for pires-henry-bergkamp)

What kind of wages is neves on? Presumably massive.

Mate you’re just going to take it at face value that Henry was better than Defoe? Bit presumptuous

They do until they find a keeper who is actually top tier. Until we have someone who is consistently on the level of Alisson/Ederson/Courtois, I have no issue with it.

Ramsdale’s dad is a melon but let’s be honest, Arteta never should have fed the press that line about having two goalkeepers who would be rotated like other positions. In hindsight it’s the kind of fib that could build more resentment in Ramsdale than had Arteta just owned up to his decision. Rare moment of bad management imo.
