  1. Did you notice they rang the bell early last night when he was about to go down? About 5 seconds left in the round and he was on the ropes. Clear as day
  2. Fury, Wilder, Ortiz...He lost to Ruiz in hos only fight outside the UK. Klitshko was unlucky not to beat him at , what, 40 years of age? The division has gone to absolute shit in general though, to be fair. Too much politics, too many belts
  3. Could see that coming. Joshua has been ducking and diving fights for a long time. I remember watching the Klitshko fight when I was in Liverpool and thinking Joshua is being protected, Klits must have been 40 then and he should have won it. Thats the Tyson money fight over now anyway I would pay to watch Fury school Haye though....
  4. I presume promotion, but McCarthy could go the Hughton way next and then other clubs might look at here and think maybe giving a manager time, like in the old days, could potentially be the way to go. Tis a rare occurrence these days.
  5. Thats so its easy for everyone to understand 😉
  6. The 3rd goal and the time it came at killed them. He probably thought they were getting to half time 2 down Things could end badly there very quickly for him, needs to get a few wins. Thats the Championship for ya.
  7. Because if you criticise them when we lose, they get credit when we win. Its stubborn pig headedness to look at it any other way
  8. Indeed, but not sure about Dack though. I hope I'm wrong, but it's a long time off, considering he never really got going last season. Off the bench though, he could still get us a goal... It does. Tricky run coming up now though, so lets see. It seems easier to drop down the table, than move up it, so thats the test.
  9. It comes from the front. Armstrong strolled around a lot, didnt commit to the energetic pressing that we get from Dolan. The 2 big lads putting a shift in too. Maybe that run last year has galvanised the team and they don't want to find themselves in similar again Something seems to have clicked anyway. Then again, hopefully a death spiral isnt around the corner
  10. Credit where it's due, getting Ayala fit and limited numbers mean he has found a system that is working for us. I just hope he continues to keep it simple. Dare we dream?
  11. Strange angle to take. To be honest, I doubt he cares. More focused on our excellent start to the season
  12. Is something clicking in place for our dynamic duo? Mowbray in!!!! Going up going up
  13. The LET do press releases more than journalism, unfortunately
  14. Both could have happened that day. It has happened with players before Either way, too late for us , especially without a plan B
  15. All budgeting is done with FFP in mind and so it should. If those players get bigger contracts at bigger clubs, fair enough, some will need to up their game to get those moves, because comparative clubs have the same or less than us to throw around. I suspect there is a stand off going in many instances and some will sign when they look around and see their options. If we have to sell some so be it, we just better have replacements lined up.
  16. Ya, I would never have disputed that he was. Especially over the first few yards
  17. I mean with the pandemic, was it ever going to be any other way? I was reading the other day up to 12 clubs could be looking at point deductions over the next 2 seasons. If we manage to avoid that, it will be a success and leave us in a relatively strong position with the academy producing some good young players at an outlay of only 1 million per season
  18. Maybe not someone lying though, one of us could have had the deal agreed, it fell apart cos of the medical, the other team moved in and then it fell apart following the medical too. Either way, doesn't excuse the fact we didn't have a plan B and C
  19. Buying clubs with debt secured against the club just shows financial safeguards and rules are only for the plebs
  20. Interesting ,but possibly misleading , top speed is one thing, but it's that pace over the first few yards that's the difference maker. Armstrong is actually probably near the top on that list too, but some of those guys like Traore it takes a bit of time to hit top speed
  21. They surely have money put away? They have maintained a good Championship squad whilst receiving huge amounts of TV revenue. If they do go down and Dyche stays, they will walk the Championship the following season, calling it now
  22. We were right not to sign him it seems, but we did also appear to put all our eggs in one basket and leave it very late in the window to find out this was a non-runner. We knew Armstrong was leaving
