  1. I'd prefer to sack about 12 players than the manager...
  2. Having CM up top at the moment is like having 10 men on the pitch. He doesn't win a header, doesn't hold the ball up, doesn't run the channels. I'd prefer to swap him out and get another body in the centre of midfield and leave Wells and Andi up top.
  3. I know Pearson says Brittons issue is his fitness rather than his attitude or ability. Surely he must be fit enough to give him 15-20 mins at the end of a match to give Martin a bit of a break?
  4. The problem is we don't seem to have a game plan or style of play that suits our players. From what I've seen it's get it to the full backs for them to either chip the ball down the line or pump it into Martin in the hope he can knock it down to someone else. Problem is Martin is too slow to chase a ball down the line, too small to effectively challenge and win a ball chipped up to him and Weimann, Wells, etc are never close enough to win any knockdown. No-one seems to want the ball in midfield off the defence. Look at our throw-ins. HNM, James, Bakinson all stood completely still. The taker has no choice but to lob it up the line to Martin who won't win it v a 6'3" defender. If we are playing 3 central midfielders, we need them to be moving, making space for each other/themselves to get some passing play/triangles between them to break the lines. Williams does this, but can he be trusted to play more than 2 games in a row before he's out for a month? The other thing that winds me up is the lack of awareness or talking between them team for simple instructions. The amount of times a lofted ball from the opposition goes to one of our centre backs who has no-one within 25 yards of them and instead of someone giving them a call they have time, they aimlessly head it back into the middle of the pitch where we invariable lose the ball. I don't mind it if we lose the ball trying to play someone through or creating an overload and a risky pass to break the lines, but as we don't get much possession anyway, we need to take care of it when we have the chance.
  5. Deserves its own thread!
  6. Why shouldn't the club be proud of the HPC? It's a facility which matches our club in terms of size and what it can offer us. Do you think we should have built a £100m facility like Leicester? Whats the point in that!? Do you think we should build a 60,000 seater stadium to compete with the top end Prem teams? No, we buy players and build infrastructure that fit in where we are now and that will allow us to grow into the next achievable level where we aim to be. People are starting to get so desperate to knock anything about the club. There's a lot more to criticise than comparing our facility to a club which has had 7/8 years of Prem TV money and then crying about it.
  7. Not even a free kick. We don't see. it from the refs view though.
  8. I watched it and Louis was very good and almost getting them to admit that they like Thai/Asian women because they look and have the body of a young girl. Bunch of dirty old men.
  9. Yeah it was a funny one because although there wasn't much wheel to wheel racing at the front, you always felt that someone was a slight mistake away from losing/winning it.
  10. While I haven't had an IMAC, I've had a few MacBook Pros and Airs and they are easily the best thing I have ever bought. They are so easy to use, never go wrong/freeze/get viruses. They are also good for University due to the various video editing softwares already built in (depending on course obviously). They are also easy to sync up if he already has an iPhone/iPod, etc. Also, its worth noting Apples support once you've purchased one is second to none (in my experience). I took mine in to an apple shop after a year due to me deleting some files, they took it out the back, came back out around 20 mins later and not only had sorted my issues, but also upgraded the processor and sense pad for the keyboard all for free because I was still under warranty. It was about £400 worth fo work (apparently) for nothing. However I do agree with the above that in terms of value for money, a Windows based laptop will get you a good machine for a lot less money, potentially 30% less.
  11. Thanks, it was the legal personality bit I didn't think of, makes sense now. No, was a question. Thanks for being a **** though. Before 10am too, very impressive.
  12. Genuine question; Is it not similar to say if I bought a car that 3 years ago someone else was driving when they ran someone over, then the person who was run over 'recovers' and then sues me because I now own the car?
  13. I've just taken City to a 9th straight Prem title and 4 Champions Leagues in 6 years on FM21. It's not until the late 2050s that we become good!
  14. I don't think the spectators of the olympics had been on the lash for the previous 6 hours...
  15. Are you using the app or on safari? on the app I don’t think you can copy the link, on safari you can copy and paste the url EDIT: actually if you click share on the app there is an option to copy link
  16. It was some TV one the commentator said. It was either 38 years or 63 years, but I can’t remember so went for the more conservative one!
  17. Only just. Both teams did their best to not win it! Most FG attempts missed in 30 years was it?
  18. Not really, Beckham played 5 games for Preston. Tammy played 41 and scored 23 in the league in a season we would/could have gone down without his goals. DB had little to no impact on Prestons season, Tammy had a huge impact on ours.
  19. Why would a country/state want to own a football club anyway? Let alone one 4000 miles away.
  20. grifty

    Snus?

    Why is it so popular with baseball? It still seems to be a thing!
  21. No, I don't know him, but my first thought wasn't HAHA he's fat. I agree with your 2nd point. Just that potentially it could be his mental state that lets him down rather than being a scumbag. It wasn't you that made those comments so have removed them from my post as was not correct to your post.
