Was a game of few chances, but Moura had an excellent chance to make it 1-1 just before your second. Didn’t think Liverpool played that well but they dug in and had a bit of luck for both goals. Winning without well, especially away at top 4 challengers, is what champions do and I think it’s...
It's a bit over-egged this record, not helped by the fact that when we do beat Leeds it usually completely fucks their season. Our record against Leeds since they were relegated from the Premier League is W: 10, D:2, L: 11 -- so actually, they have a slight edge over us. I imagine they will...
I don’t have the benefit of a replay to hand, but surely it isn’t a foul if there isn’t intent, or indeed any movement at all. If deGea had run into Welbeck accidentally with the ball in his hands, dropped it and then Welbeck had poked the ball home would it still be a foul?
Despite the NEC’s submission on the IHRA code (and it really was submission — a depressing demonstration of weakness, under very little pressure), I think the Labour Left has come out of the saga in a position of real strength. Agitators on the right of the PLP, long distrusted in their CLPs...
Class goal from Lewisham John against Posh at the weekend. Seems to be developing into a very good player — wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the Championship before the season is out. I also have a soft spot for players who expose the ‘natural talent’ claim for the myth that it is — good...
Unbelievable smash and grab but we’ve been completely pedestrian, especially since the goal. The transfer speculation has massively unsettled us and we desperately need to regroup.
No Hutchinson and obviously no Saville. Big losses both, especially as Saville's replacement Leonard missed the deadline so can't feature tonight.
Not entirely sure what to expect. Not even sure who will be in the squad.
Had to wait 30 years to break our most recent transfer record. Only had to hold on a week to break it again — Ryan Leonard joins for what I suspect is anywhere between £1.2-1.5m
Oh, and nearly all sources now saying the Saville fee is at least £8m. Sweet.
King for Saville is like for like imo and on paper a better signing than I would have hoped for. Does make you wonder why other clubs at this level aren’t in for him though.
We’re also targeting a mystery third(?) player who the forum ITKs won’t name but seem to be excited about. Not sure if...
