Just seen szmodics interview on fb... He can actually string a few sentences together in a row without mumbling or cue cards! that's novel for a footballer 😅

So tasteless, tacky and unprofessional seeing club owners etc... Posting things like this on social media. Just desperately trying to keep their pathetic egos intact by bragging and not wanting to lose face with their fans.

Anybody know if theres a good up to date database update for fm21/22 available? (not necessarily an official one, but a good one)

I forgot Wolves where even in the prem 😂 Think he'd actually be a decent fit there, at least he'd be more likely to get game time But they all needs to put up or shut up though.

Wasn't it chadfy that got the Brittain talk goin!

Hopefully I'm not just kiddin myself but the longer we go without any fresh new links to a cb the more it makes me feel we're waiting to see where Van Hecke stands with Brighton once the premiership starts

Hmmmm Two Completely different types of player and positions though tbf There's a lot more responsibility in the centre of the park for Morton, where as Elliot was pretty much given a free role to just go out there and strut his stuff😄 Leighton Clarkson arrived with high expectations but he just looked like a boy lost 😞 Hopefully Morton will be a gooden though, nor sure we're hed fit in if Travis and Buckley carry on doing well as a partnership in the centre of the park

Haha good stuff 😄

Dolans frustrating, I like him a lot but he only seems to be really effective as a sub to come on and stir things up, when he gets a start he seems to go missing for a lot of the game tough. Makes a great impact/super sub, but not all players like getting that tag long term when they feel they should be starting

I think we lack real height and raw strength at the min in the 1st team, aside from Gallagher (who never seems as strong as a bloke his size should be) and Ayala who is quite the beast (looking an absolute crime that he was never played when fit under the last bloke, twice the natural cb and leader that leninhan is/was!) And sczmodics isnt going to increase our average height at 5'6 (not knocking him he looks a tidy player) The liverpool lad looks tall but a bit lanky still, Just think we could get muscled of the pitch at times this season if we dont get a bit more meat on our bones 😄

Believe it or not. Not all post on here are directed at you specifically! I don't really care for your opinion as i could simply predict it if i wish so (just as most can predict chuddys bum lickery at the other end of the spectrum)

Hard to knock Vale, young lad making his debut after earning it through hard work in pre season and lack of other more experienced choices up front. For me he didn't do anything wrong specifically for a centre forward (ie. he didn't miss any easy chances on goal) he just didn't really have any effect the game though, but i don't think he looked too out of place out there for the most part. On another day I would have had Dack or Markandy out there wider and gallagher more central... But either way we won the game and made them look pretty poor. (be interesting to see how boro get on against them next week!)

Our short corner routine was causing a real threat every time yesterday. That said we need more than one routine or we will quickly get found out 😂

hahahaha JDT and the incredible actor Mads Mikkelsen have now sort of fused into the same person in my mind, I'll never watch hannibal the same way again now

but when he can't find it he just invents it (or vastly exaggerates it) 😅

you're not right you! I mean theres having an "opinion" and then theres talking absolute bollox.

are you being serious?

That would probably be my biggest grip of the afternoon to be honest🙈 There's absolutely no reason for the music/pa system to be that fkin loud, you literally couldn't here the person next to you speaking, just completely unnecessary and mind numbing, drowns out all the atmosphere in the ground

Main plus points of the top of my head... Ayala & Wharton easily our best centre back pairing since Dann & Hanley Brittain (on this performance alone!) the most complete RB/RWB we've had since Emerton (actually reminded me a lot of Emerton in his build, style of play and energy levels) Great goal for Travis obviously and generally very good display, he was absolutely exhausted by the final whistle Hedges really good technical ability on the ball, didn't offer much off it but was always making himself available (technically got the assist with the nod down to Travis) Overall we started off pretty slow and played deeper than im sure JDT wanted, but as the game went on we pushed higher and made qpr look very poor even though our passing was generally pretty sloppy(hopefully that's mostly just down to it being the first game back) for a first game of the season with a new manager that's only been here a month can't really complain, just need to strengthen a few positions and we should do well. One clear negative from me! If Jason Lowe did Left backs.... Harry Pickering. (And I'm actually disappointed to say that because I thought he had more to offer, but on that performance I cant see it)

I think Vale and hedges have earned their starts through their performances in pre season

Benni Mcarthy just been appointed a first team coach at united! Good look to him, got his work cut out there with that circus https://metro.co.uk/2022/07/30/man-utd-hire-former-premier-league-star-to-work-with-clubs-strikers-17096295/?ito=newsnow-feed

Yeah but JDT will never be as good as Duncan Ferguson 🙄😅

Pretty sure Davenport was snapped up, can't remember by who of the top of my head EDIT! No sorry you're right hecis still out of contract! He's got a lot of talent, just needs serious game time somwhere to build his confidence i think, especially after all the injuries and being dicked about by our previous manager.

Yes I'm buzzin too 😃 new exciting manager, a rare pretty much fully fit squad, square pegs in square holes regardles of which formation we go with... happy days The foundations are looking good, sprinkle a few more signings in there over the next month 🎉

Sorry but the the constent changing of the title has become a little tedious! 😄😄
