    Fragile Fanbase

    I looked at this run of fixtures earlier in the season and couldnt see us getting many points. There were too many grounds where i have seen us go through the motions and accept defeat. No matter how good we are and how bad the opposition is we go there with fear. Is that me as a fan having a...

    If we haven't see Radu feature and VDV shift across with both left backs absent, i dont think we ever will. A lot of clubs are playing centre halves in fullback positions with positive results so i am disappointed we haven't used this as an opportunity to bed in a new signing before next season...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Caught a couple of Feyenoord european games this year, partly because they were the early game and partly to see how Slot fared against better competition to see if we had dodged a bullet or missed the boat there. The little i saw Jimenez is more Jansen than Suarez, way too slow for the PL and...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Ben Davies

    Dreading him vs Saka today, he will either jockey him back into our box or drop 5 yards behind the rest of our backline and play them onside. Doesnt have the pace or aggression and will be targeted relentlessly.

    Eberechi Eze

    I would if we were tweaking the system to a 3-2-4-1 similar to City, that would allow for 2 number 10s and not block the path for some of our promising youngsters. £60m for a Maddison rotation i cant see. I guess it will also depend on whether we can include players in any deal and what funds we...

    Going to miss him offensively and massively defensively against Saka. I worry Davies will be too respectful of the pace and drop off which will gift them momentum.

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Agree. Think we will limp over the line to 5th and all become experts on coefficiency by the end of the season.

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    You can almost hear the players' management teams tapping away on their phones, readying their clients' 'didnt go our way today/sorry for the fans' posts

    Our set up and approach is so immature

    Alejandro "Álex" Baena Rodríguez

    Never seen him play, my La Liga viewing days ended when sky stopped their coverage, but im not really keen going for another diminutive talent from that league. Just feels players from other leagues like Serie A and the Bundesliga adjust better to the rigours of the Premier league.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

    Its the same pattern every week. Territorial dominance without making it count then the opponents cut through us with any venture forward

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    100%. They are hoping something is riding on so they can market it as the battle of the bridge 2.0. They did something similar with the rearranged arsenal fixture a couple of years back. Anything to manipulate drama.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Thanks for sharing. I must admit I havent enjoyed the risk and reward approach this season, largely because we usually suffer the risk element with the goals/major chances we give up every week with the lack of reward. Prior to Villa we had only beaten Burnley and Newcastle by 3 goals. The...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    If he has continued to develop that potential with a few years of football under his belt £6m could be a shrewd bit of business. Would free up funds for more pressing positions this summer.

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    If we have a buy back clause for Dennis Cirkin I would like to bring him back to rotate with Udogie in the inverted Left back role. Home grown plus club trained for Europe.

    Mid-window review: ins/outs?

    Pleased with our window and even more so that we did what was needed early. Makes a change from this time last year with the late Porro drama. With other clubs, notably our competitors for CL, being restricted by FFP i wonder if we are tempted to go in if a player with the x factor becomes...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Think the Chelsea game is on the Carabao cup final weekend so could potentially be pushed back should they overcome Boro. If that is the case, 4 out of the next 5 at home could be massive.

    So used to losing out on these 'sliding door' moments. One of the best starts to a January window i can recall.
