  1. Very outspoken and insightful man. It's been a real pleasure listening to him.

  2. true but UCL would have given them way more money.

  3. still not an excuse to attack the player. Racist abuse is ofc very hurtful, but even then it's just words. You can't attack someone for something they said.

  4. yup, Man City would have been Bayern Munich, just in England

  5. Ralf just says how it is no matter who it upsets, so I believe him over the players

  6. political messages should be banned, leave sport to sport

  7. he was too good for them to begin with.

  8. I reckon Derby would take that right now

  9.  @lfc8082  tbh on the surface it looked to be a great summer, reguilón was the good signing that he appeared to be, doherty so far hasn't shown anything really even though it looked like a sensible purchase, rodon can still improve but he just hasn't played much, and... well, bale was mostly unfit, which is by far the biggest disappointment I think they actually did pretty well, it's just that it wasn't enough.

  10. well, we don't know what allegedly happened exactly, could have been something extremely offensive, but still, no excuse for the later attack, no matter what has been said.

  11.  @valak-thedefiler9159  it'd be just as bad lol

  12.  S S  has nothing to do with race, mate, many white people are experts at pronouncing names, but football pundits/commentators usually are.... average at best, and sometimes absolutely terrible Still baffles me how so many are butchered, research is really not that hard...

  13. I guess he's pretty old now and injury prone too and since you bought Pope he's pretty much a backup anyway, and you already have Darlow who is also a respectable backup, so I can see why it makes sense from a dressing room dynamics point of view, since you have 3 goalkeepers who are good enough to be in the squad and it'd be doing any of them hard to make them 3rd choice.

  14.  @Journey24215  not nearly as poor as United though, and they could still have won the Palace game if not for Nunez red card. Besides they have quite a few important injuries.

  15. doubt it's up to him, probs board told him there's no more money or something

  16. I mean tbh I wouldn't have been surprised to see him as the number one had he been a bit more patient, ten Hag isn't afraid to drop Maguire and Ronaldo it seems, so I think he wouldn't be afraid to drop de Gea either. But I guess the world cup means Henderson wants guaranteed game time, so it changes things for this year.

  17. not like he's good enough for the first team anyway these days lol

  18.  @LazarouDave  well, to achieve that, he first has to make the club financially stable, which would be a success already, making it different from Newcastle where fans didn't appreciate his greed but Derby just wants to stay afloat, I think if they're stable and back in the Championship, you take that

  19.  @peterpauloreilly4993  yeah but imo there were infinitely more problems before VAR, it's just that many of us didn't notice all the poor refereeing decisions that went under the radar. I can think of 3 or 4 situations in the world cup where I really think there should've been a different decision (Mitrovic getting tackled by 2 Swiss players in the box and no penalty, and Boateng not getting sent off for fouling Berg against Sweden come to mind especially, maybe others in the final where I thought both the free kick and the penalty for France were contentious), but other than that it worked exceptionally well.

  20. I would pay half that for him at most, no offense to him, but I think he still needs time to really develop, and that means regular playing time, I doubt he'd get that at Chelsea (or would he? I don't think he's good enough yet, he might well be at some stage). And yeah, definitely would take it if i was Everton, I'm worried for where the goals will come from for them, unless DCL comes back to his best (not to mention gets fit again). They need at least one more dude who can be "the guy" to get the goals, proper Richarlison replacement who gets them when it matters most.

  21. to be fair actual violence should be more punishable than racism in the case of biting a player, so I understand that, however I'd definitely agree racism has been handled far from well, not only amongst players, but also coming from supporters. But what can you do, empty phrases sell, and that's what the football organizations are all about, money. Sad, but true.

  22. true, you did overspend on him, but at least you instantly got another forward in, everyone could see you needed it

  23.  @michaelgriffin7640  He did get them promoted, but they're both teams expected to be promoted, and he didn't do it comfortably either, only winning the playoffs at both while you could argue on the basis of squad strength that both should have gained automatic promotion, with Premier League players still in there and a lot of money compared to others, so while it's an achievement, it's not that impressive, he did not punch above his weight anywhere. I don't blame him for Fulham getting relegated tbh, they waited until like deadline day to get 2 first choice centerbacks, and he did an okay job to try to stay up, and I won't blame him much for Bournemouth if they go down, either, clearly not backed enough, but I don't know what to really judge him from when it comes to manager skills. He looks like a good guy though.

  24. they're not the worst team, but it's just that other teams that stayed up were better

  25. Henderson isn't there this season though, refused to stay because of fearing he'd be benched even before ten Hag considered him at all. I can see why they want cover, Heaton is injury prone (i mean tbh so is Dubravka at this point) but they need an established goalkeeper, at least one, to push de Gea, all while signing someone who will be happy to sit on the bench but is at the same time good enough for the club

  26. yeah there's always gonna be a fine line no matter what you do, as long as the referees can consistently agree on where it lays I see no problem

  27.  @smallarmskepa4390  it's more the money that would be an issue in this case

  28. his contract is up next summer right? de gea, i mean. then they can let him go and sign someone
    1
  29. well they can go and get another signing like that, but that doesn't make Casemiro less of a brilliant signing imo
    1
  30. he's grabbing cash in the middle east now, wouldnt exactly scream "ambitious appointment"

  31. Scott Parker is championship standard

  32.  @freakyholic  do you mean Kyle Walker-Peters? wasn't he sold to Southampton already?

  33. hm not so sure about Burnley just yet, they've done well in general even when people wrote them off in the past years, maybe Southampton will end up going down instead? I do agree that Watford and Norwich will get relegated though, simply don't see them staying up
    1
  34. I would place Brentford above Leeds currently and wouldn't say Burnley would never go down but it's a fair take, Watford and Norwich probably doomed at this point, though Watford have enough quality to put up a fight, Norwich just isn't good enough but can bounce back like they did before

  35. why would they want to become the next QPR
    1
  36. is he that good a manager? what's he really done? he does look to be an alright manager, but I don't know if I'd say he's that good. But yeah, Bournemouth definitely the favorite to go down for me. I don't even know what the rest of the relegated teams will be, could be a coin flip at this stage, but Bournemouth look likely.
