  1. He doesn't have links to terror organisations. He has the same name (Abdulkadir) as someone high up in Al Shabaab. That's it. It would be like refusing the entry of Adolf Hutter (the Frankfurt manager).
  2. Yer da passionately discusses Leicester City on Facebook.
  3. He made a terrible decision to leave Boro for Wolves. Left them in 2nd position for a team that looked destined to break Derby's record. I doubt he'll want to make a similarly bad decision in signing for the worst run club in English football.
  4. These incidents have followed Stokes around for his entire career. You can sort of overlook it when he's performing magic tricks every week with bat and ball but he's been awful for far too long now. Since he became captain he's played 45 test matches and has only taken 78 wickets and has scored 2188 runs. His fielding isn't keeping him in the team much either given he's only taken 43 catches. Averaging 48 runs in a test and 1.7 wickets per test is shocking form.
  5. It's an impossible argument to make IMO. If the points deduction is applied during the season then do Leeds only get 4 points from their final 6 games? To me they imploded because they couldn't keep up and it all got too much. Alternatively, do we beat WBA and then thump Southampton and PNE if it's still as tight as it was? The pressure was lifted for us and it wouldn't have been if we were 1 point clear.
  6. Stokes dropped. Root back as captain. Brook overlooked despite being vice-captain.
  7. Leeds would have a very good case to go after us if this is a precedent. Strap in. Rock bottom is a long way off yet.
  8. Goalkeepers: Dominik Livakovic (Dinamo Zagreb), Dominik Kotarski (Copenhagen), Ivor Pandur (Hull City). Defenders: Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City), Duje Caleta-Car (Real Sociedad), Josip Sutalo (Ajax Amsterdam), Josip Stanisic (Bayern Munich), Marin Pongracic (Fiorentina), Martin Erlic (Midtjylland), Luka Vuskovic (Hamburg). Midfielders: Luka Modric (AC Milan), Mateo Kovacic (Manchester City), Mario Pasalic (Atalanta), Nikola Vlasic (Torino), Luka Sucic (Real Sociedad), Martin Baturina (Como), Kristijan Jakic (Augsburg), Petar Sucic (Inter Milan), Nikola Moro (Bologna), Toni Fruk (Rijeka). Forwards: Ivan Perisic (PSV Eindhoven), Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim), Ante Budimir (Osasuna), Marco Pasalic (Orlando City), Petar Musa (Dallas), Igor Matanovic (Freiburg). Loads of experience in there with some really decent young players like Vuskovic and Sucic. Some of their more experienced players aren't crazy old either (aside from Perisic and Modric). England should have far too much for them but it's a decently tricky starting game. England have to win or they'll play someone like Spain or France far too early.
  9. It's two very small nations in terms of footballing ability in a City with next to no Scottish or Haitian population. Which means there's a little interest from local people. With the way that the ticket resale platform works, there will be a lot of tickets available with relatively little demand. Prices will plummet and I think a lot of local fans will be able to get tickets on the day for a very good price.
  10. Some of the stories coming out of Belfast following last night's riots are horrendous. People have every right to be angry and scared after what happened but burning and looting the property of foreign nationals is a disgrace.
  11. He's not some nobody though. He's England captain and has responsibility of behaving himself at all times.
  12. The reality of not being on £100k a week for much longer seems to be setting in at the Vardy household.
  13. Schmeichel Ricardo Huth Morgan Fuchs Mahrez Kante Cambiasso Izzet Vardy Okazaki Not far off our best 11 either way.
  14. I'd be amazed if he's not captain for the first game.
  15. We're going to be playing Aldi Man City football whether we like it or not. Aiyawatt is obsessed with the idea and it's why we've purposely hired McCarron from the City Group to be the new shield for Rudkin. With that in mind, I do honestly think we're better off getting someone like Russell Martin in to attempt to achieve it. In the same way we did with Enzo. I'm not advocating for his style of play or thinking that we're going to achieve greatness with him in charge but he has a clear idealistic view that aligns with the club's. He's clearly a huge prat and his football is dreary, but it's got to be better than getting in the next Rowett/Cooper/RVN etc and forcing them to play a style they have no experience with. Those three appointments have completely ****ed us because there has never been a thought given to "what if this doesn't work?".
  16. I managed 33-5-0 and I doubt I'll top that. I think 38-0-0 is just about impossible.
  17. There’s next to no bounce in the surface.
  18. This scorecard that sky have looks horrible.
  19. Insane stat for a player of his calibre... Of the 6,044 outfield players to play in the top 20 rated leagues. Only one player averages fewer defensive contributions per 90 than Kylian Mbappe. Think about the likes of Bouba Soumare and Jordan Ayew. Mbappe is lazier than them.
  20. Matey on the right could smell a Sunday roast on a Thursday morning. Some hooter on him.
  21. The issue is having a tactical team talk as opposed to it being a time issue. Arteta is ridiculous for it. He'll have a message for his whole team and a change in tactics so he tells Raya to sit on his arse for 2 minutes while he has a cold compress put on his neck and he gets the opportunity to address his whole team and to tweak anything that may have a risen from the oppositions substitutes. It's completely wrong and in my view is cheating.

    Disheartening to see a 16 year old be judged to the same standards as a 26 year old would be on here. He's 16 yet is probably the most technically gifted player at the club. Consistency and physicality will come and when that does he'll be a Premier League player.
  23. They need to pack in this "disproportionate punishment" rhetoric. They had the result of one game overturned and will start next season on -4 points. That is it. They're only crying because they decided to cheat to gain an advantage to get place in the biggest game of the Championship season. It's their fault. Frankly I think their punishment is lenient. They should have a bigger points deduction for next season. 4 points for every game they cheated on which would be a -12. Not enough to condemn them to relegation but it would make automatic promotion almost impossible. The worst thing is that they would still have had to beat Hull whom they all seem to think would have been a certainty (maybe it would if they had access to Hull's training plans too).
  24. Have a bit of respect. Andy King played nearly 400 games for us and won 3 league titles.
