  1. Who would pay what we're paying? 33 year old with a dodgy hamstring and an attitude problem
  2. And regardless of the whether penalties count I'd always say that goals in open play is a very valid comparison. Very similar records and service can't be blamed
  3. I don't think he's taken a pen? If that's the case he's got two fewer in open play than Norwood. How does that work pout in goals per minute on the pitch?
  4. No PL team will agree to a replay so that puts the lucrative replay theory to bed anyway
  5. Huge blow to tradition but I can't help feeling the moneyspinningness is overstated. Probably one or two clubs each season get a really lucrative replay. Half the time now the crowds for cup games are poor and at reduced prices
  6. I'm very confident that if we'd somehow scraped up this season we'd have found a way of finishing no lower than third bottom in L2
  7. I'm trying to understand how now it ever managers regularly watch(ed) players they were interested in signing with any degree of frequency. We've played Tuesday/Saturday almost weekly since Mellon arrived and Tuesdays and Saturdays are when most players we might have been interested in were probably playing
  8. What were the circumstances of him leaving his last position? He gives every indication that he's had enough of the whole caboodle.
  9. He appears to optimise this team? That's a bad thing?
  10. I think we watched it in a pub Blackfriars Station. As I recall it barely reached the goalkeeper.
  11. It's taken over 40 years but Graeme Sharp's penalty against Leeds (?) is no longer the worst effort from the spot that I've ever seen. Thank you Bernardo Silva for erasing that from the record book.
  12. Couto is nearer 21 than 19. I recall him being linked with much higher clubs when he first appeared but presumably he was well scouted and nothing came of that. I've no idea if he's good enough but it's entirely feasible that the chaos at management level when he first got into the first team may have stunted his progress,
  13. That we may recruit players that are seen as an upgrade but until they get out on the pitch and prove it the jury will be out. There was very little criticism of any of the signings over the last 20 months, until they played...
  14. In theory. I'll still bear in mind that the arrival of most of this group was broadly welcomed
  15. Although if they hadn't sacked twelvety managers he'd never have had the chance
  16. Isn't it just that only two clubs use Statsbomb rather than only two clubs use stats. Other brands are available...
  17. Arssnal's scouting might be shown up to be hilariously inept this summer. They are rumoured to be buying out Viktor Gyokeres' for €100m. The same player who moved from Coventry last summer for a fifth of that.
  18. They can't really take the chance though given the stage of the season
