  1. I don't disagree. However my comments were about Manning. I did explain why I had those thoughts. Yes there is little loyalty in football and everyone is essentially just passing through. However in my opinion it's likely Manning will pass through quicker than others and that's why I've not warmed to him. Not many managers have their career saved and then get given significant funds to spend and then bugger off months later.
  2. It's not a good trait to tell people what they should and shouldn't think
  3. I think one of the reasons I've not really warmed to Liam is because despite him constantly talking about behaviours and wanting players to be all in, we know as soon as a club slightly higher up the pyramid comes in for him he'll be gone without a second thought. Oxford revived his career and they invested heavily in him and then just a few months later he buggered off. I've never felt comfortable with that.
  4. I think Usyks best chance would have been if Tyson didn't take it seriously. As it happens Tyson has been the most professional he has ever been. Looks to be in the shape of his life both physically and mentally. It's going to be an interesting fight but I think Tyson will have too much for Usyk. Although I am worried about that cut being opened up.
  5. Would say its a bit incorrect to suggest boxpark at Wembley is a sports bar. Of course it does act as a fanpark for the events at Wembley but there is far more to it than that. There are only 46 events a year allowed at Wembley so it obviously needs to sustain itself the other 300 days a year. It hosts a whole variety of things such as live music, quizes, comedy. It's probably used more for these other events than it is for sporting events. It also has an impressive line up of street food traders which you can have delivered to your table. Outside of events you can pop in there for lunch etc. If you live in the local area you can order food to be delivered or you can collect it yourself.
  6. I thought the ice cold demeanour slipped. Definitely had a worried look to him when he saw Fury fired up. I think Fury has played a blinder with the mind games.
  7. Ironically Alexander and Pearson were people who were more than happy to stick around for a while.
  8. Bristol Sport got its employees to sign up on here in order to influence the fanbase. I'm not sure that's the kind of leadership we need on this issue. Our 'leaders' would be acting the same way as Bloom and Parish if we were in the premier league, let's not pretend otherwise.
  9. Totally agree with what he has said. But why didn't we release a statement when this happened?
  10. In open play Tommy had an xG of 6.4 and he scored 5. So really not sure where you're getting those 5-6 goals from.
  11. Pretty sure that shirt was around 2000/2001.
  12. So all this stuff you're saying Manning has taught him yet Tommy has a poorer return from open play this season than last season.
  13. Pressing was a huge strength of Tommy before Manning arrived so it was always likely he'd get even better at it as he ages. And considering we switched from a press to a block then I'm not sure how much credit can be given to LM for Tommys pressing abilities.
  14. So the PL said to 777 they had to come up with 100 million for the new stadium, 777 then go out and find a lender for that rather than providing the money themselves in the hope that will satisfy the PL.
  15. Not sure what the big deal is. 20 quid for travel and a ticket to watch them in a final seems a bargain.
  16. Because they want to do it the 'pure' way. The only premier league experience we now have is Wells and I'd say he's on the list of players we'd like to dispose of too.
  17. We may consider that we've made him a terrific offer by our standards but that offer is probably well less than what he can get elsewhere. That's the reality here. Our only advantage is Tommy being a fan and his family living close by. But would you accept 5-10k a week less just for those things?
  18. Last season I said Arsenal bottled it which many disagreed with. But in my opinion they did. This season the same cannot be said. They've just been outdone by a better team. Fair play to them for taking that step forward. The only criticism I have is that they lost the title by playing for a draw at the Etihad. They knew City had those games in hand so that was baffling.
  19. Even with bringing Twine in, we struggled to provide Conway with chances. Tommy can't score chances if he's not provided with them. I've said this lots of times but if you put him in a team like Coventry then he scores 15-20 easily. Right now Tommy can potentially move to a lower premier league club or a top 6 side or go north to Scotland and get a huge pay rise. I'm not entirely sure those options would be there in 12 months time if us and Tommy have another similar season. I think Tommy has done the smart thing already for himself by giving himself time to assess all of these options. We all would love Tommy to stay but I think our hand is quite weak at this point.
  20. I think you're looking at this through the lens of what's best for us. At this current moment if you're Tommy Conway I'm not sure you'd think that staying here would be the best route to get to the top of the game. Why would you want to stay here to prove to the manager you're the main striker? When he could move easily to a top 6 team and earn more and have a bigger chance of getting to the premier league? Tommy is at the very best stagnating here because we are stagnating.
  21. Would we? Manning made a lot about Conway changing the way he plays to fit the way Manning wants to play. Would Tommy consider that the best thing for himself? Or would he rather play for a team that plays to his strengths? A team that actually provides him with chances? Tommy is more than capable of getting 20. I'm not sure we are capable of providing him with 20 goals tho. If you're Tommy Conway, would you be rushing to sign a contract when we've been saying for months we want to sign another striker? Knowing we only play with one striker? The reality is Tommy could sign a new contract and then find himself on the bench.
  22. Don't pretend that you wouldn't want Liverpool to lose if it meant them losing would see Everton get relegated.
  23. Putting aside the charges cos nothings been proven and Man City are adamant they have evidence that prove their innocence, whats the issue? Their owners invested 2 billion? Lansdown has sunk 200 million in to us which is why we are now a Championship team with a modern stadium and training facilities. Yes Man City is on a much bigger scale but they've spent the money well and have got value for money due to their successes. 2 billion to be on the verge of doing something no other English team has done before. When their owners eventually sell then they'll easily double their money. Chelsea are proof that money doesn't = success.
  24. You want him at Liverpool?
  25. All comes back to Man City being serial winners and knowing how to win league titles. They got wrote off on here a few months ago.
