Mr Hankey

Nothing naive about it, if he doesn’t come here then i won’t lose sleep, but thinking Luton are paying 30 grand a week for Joe Bryan is naive! West Ham are currently a “bottom” prem side - if they come in for him do i think he will go there? Absolutely he will!

I know what you mean, but i have had a feeling that Luton were getting promoted for a while anyway, they were always going to win the play-offs in my opinion & i would of thought they would have made contact preparing on this outcome a little while back with players, but everything seems to point to this being a done deal - even if Luton were to come in late notice, i still don’t think Bryan would go. He’s had the Prem, had the season abroad, think he will be ready to come home now (?? crossed!)

I’m not quite sure, Bryan was never good enough for the Prem & it showed whilst at Fulham (nothing against him, would love him to re-sign here this summer), think they are going to be looking at young players to bounce them back when they get relegated, or the other end of the spectrum of much older/prem proven players on one 1 year deals - something i can’t see Bryan accepting.

Can’t see much bitterness here at all, in fact i think the vast majority think fair ******* play, more so a lot of people (& rightly so) thinking if they can do it with their infrastructure then why are we always so far behind these clubs? In what way?

Its ******* shit is what it is, but so was Wigan v Blackpool back in 2011……& in all them years we still haven’t pushed on! Fingers crossed Pearson can change that.

Just imagine where we could of been if Lansdown had half a footballing brain and not an ego in place of it….

Think it falls on the coach, there was no composure or calmness from the beginning, from minute 1 they were getting counter attacked & he couldn’t stop it, they seemed far too excited…….also Dortmund aren’t a great team, Bayern have had the season from hell but still won it, if you can’t win it this year against them then you never will.

Think its too little too late unfortunately.

Dunno mate, struggle to see how a 33 year old and 36 year old lower league player for most of their career can improve that much…..i mean Forest signed like 20 players and stayed in the prem which says a lot, the bottom half of the top tier and this division are incredibly weak.

Think it shows just how badly the standard of English football has become, particularly the championship.

This is so poor from Dortmund, don’t have a team in the Bundesliga but have always preferred them to do well over Bayern, would be devastated if i was a fan, such a bad performance in one of the biggest games of their history.

That doesn’t surprise me, they are getting counter attacked everytime and with a partnership at the back of Hummels & Sule it has to be one of the slowest going in the “elite” levels! Have only watched thier keeper a couple of times but he looks a bit of a shocker, especially as he has been linked with some big teams. First goal was awful defending from Haller but there is no way he should of conceded it.

Shouldn’t be too much of a suprise that Dortmund are bottling it, they are pretty shit especially without Bellingham starting, even Chelsea managed to knock them out of the Champions League.

Big Sam won’t be enjoying his pint of wine tonight.

Really want Everton to come down as i can’t stand them, but this Leeds team is absolute trash, no way will they get out of it, Everton are going to be lucky and get away with it again.

He was very good, i thought parts of the first leg worked perfectly for Madrid in allowing him on the ball to slow things down as that is what they would of wanted, but last night in particular he was outstanding as he was more willing to bring the ball forward and attack.

Calm down fella, think you had a late night here, my comment was based on the way Madrid allowed him to play in the first leg. He’s a very good defender, which is why he’s at Man City.

That doesn’t really matter though, does it? They are in the premier league & will be again next season all for the price of just a few million fine….i would be happy with us breaking all the rules to get to the top tier & then just pay a few million quid to get away with it.

Always overthinks the CL, like when they played Chelsea in the final without a striker! As good of a coach as he is, he’s the reason why Man City won’t win it in my opinion.

Madrid must love it whenever Man City play the ball to John Stones, he just continuously slows the play down to then just pass it sideways……may work against some of the Prem teams but not against this lot it won’t!

I actually think Pien Meulensteen & Alan Smith are a decent commentary duo, much better than any shite that involves Andy Hinchcliffe!

Would you consider it unconscious bias if he likened a hoo-haa involving Lucas Moura or Richarlison as a bit of Jiu-Jitsu? No, of course you bloody wouldn’t.

Looked like a child at times i thought today, funny how people see things differently. Hopefully they bulk him up in the summer, not sure if he’s worth giving a full season on loan in league 1 starting week in week out, or if we keep him around the first team next season, but there is definitely something there to work with as his pace will always scare defenders.

And their absolute mess of a parent kicking off once their kid is taken off by the stewards, who are quite simply only doing their jobs.
