Interesting, wasn't aware, I'll be honest I've just always assumed it was a sign that the bloke with it was a bit of a to$$er, there's probably some kind of correlation between the two

Maybe I'm harsh but that's two soft ones that have rolled past the Pompey keeper

Pompey pen!!!

Everything that's wrong with Leeds summed up by the number of their players that regularly sport that shite dyed blonde haircut that so many bang average players go with.

Oxford have been brilliant so far, nothing flashy, just well organised, hard working and get the ball in the box with plenty of bodies joining in with the attack.

What a strike that is

Can we stop this nonsense, they haven't done much better than us in the prem in recent years, they didn't do any better than us in the Championship. They bottled some big games and a lot of their so called stars went missing often. The negativity around us is understandable but statements like this are over-reactive nonsense with no evidence at all.

Leeds winning through a penalty, Oxford looking decent against Norwich

Just before we flew out on our first pre-season trip. We won either 2-0 or 2-1, Alves and I believe Daka, game was called off with about 5 mins to go because one of their players sustained a bad injury, other than that I'm not sure.

My thoughts are he's just going to be slowly integrated in to the squad over the first part of the season. He's been up with the first team since the very start, he played and scored in the behind closed doors friendly against Mansfield, he's featured in every squad. I appreciate people have had frustrations about his game time in friendlies but from Cooper's perspective, I imagine he has to put more emphasis on getting those who are already established and have the experience up to speed ahead of the new season. Those are the ones he is likely going to need to rely on to try and get some points on the board early doors, or decide if they truly aren't what he wants and the club can look to move on. For me Alves would get his exposure through substitute based rolls initially, play the early rounds of the cup, be involved in some more training games and keep building from there. Yes a loan could guarantee the playing time but your then putting his management into the hands of another manager, sports sci + medical department and these initial years so soon after an ACL are massively important to make sure everything is managed properly. If he was to go on loan for me it would have to be to Bristol City, maybe Blackburn or Derby.

I'm not really as bothered about this but the majority of kit from Adidas for me has been so poor for it's price.

Does that last bit mean Zaha wouldnt count towards the limit?

Jealous of Sheff Utd and pushing their youth with Arblaster, Brooks, Peck and Seriki all being given time tonight with Marsh on the bench.

Your reaching here.

You've done well to take a pop at Cooper here considering he was dismissed in December 2023 and Sels was signed last day of the Jan 2024 transfer window. Don't let the facts get in the way of your opinion though pal

Essentially they want to make a profit on him just because he's been in the building and not actually done anything on the pitch to merit such an increase?

Don't Chelsea and City both play each other in 2 weeks on the opening weekend? Seems a daft pre-season friendly but I guess it wasn't scheduled for footballing purposes.

Mine and your opinions continue to be aligned. I decided to watch today, first bit I've watched this preseason. It wasn't great but it wasn't any different to what I was expecting from a preseason game. To be honest I'd thought nothing of it until I signed in to here and see the continued meltdown.

I'm not sure on Blackburn, likely to lose both Gallagher and Smzodics, not really recruiting, Venky's supposedly under financial restrictions by Indian government so can only put a small amount in.

No one on the Watford forum appears to be any wiser, they seem to be hoping us being linked is to drive up the transfer fee from Rennes.

Absolutely mad the money people are willing to fork out to watch the likes of Arsenal, City, Liverpool etc. As good as they are, their just another team? I can't believe anyone is stupid enough to fork out 1k let alone be scammed in the process!

Absolutely gutted, RIP. Condolences to his family.

So we have a situation where the people who were kicking off about an idiot at the airport attacking police officers and making it a race thing, are now attacking police officers....

She's just taken the dog out for his evening walk, I reckon I can make the most lukewarm, milkiest coffee known to man before she's back. That's the level of my playing field 😂
