If Vardy puts that away, it’s goal of the season.

Yeah! Also, I’m not necessarily saying they’re good players, but they are being asked to do a tough job.

I’ve said it many times, but the role our full backs play means they’re pretty much always on a hiding to nothing. This comes down to the whole side being poor (high turnover of possession). The distance they cover, at pace must be draining for even the fittest players. To get forward and get back relentlessly and be able to be in the position they want, engage opponents or come up with a quality ball is borderline impossible. Put almost any decent fullback/wingback in their place and they’d struggle. The ones in better sides look good as a product of the teams performance/dominance.

Definitely. I wasn’t singling out your post, it just fit the theme of what was being said. Yours just happened to be the latest one and I quoted it.

This aside… it won’t be long before we have Susan and Jon performing lobotomies as part of a pre-requisite entry requirement. Really feel for the ones banned without justification. Such a massive part of life taken away without reason.

Well it depends on how the words are put across doesn’t it. Verbal abuse to other fans (especially our own), staff or the police isn’t really on. Nobody needs to hear some steaming bloke screaming c*** at people when they’ve gone to watch the football. A few choice words can be let go but there has to be a line. Giving a strong opinion whether in person or online should be fine and un-punishable. I’m certainly not on the clubs side. I’ve led far from a sheltered life, not much fazes me and I’ve acted in ways I shouldn’t have. However some things you see/hear at the football, usually from the small minority are embarrassing. It’s usually someone who can’t handle their ale deciding they want to be the loudest voice in the vicinity. FWIW, I don’t know who most of the posts in here are in reference to and I’m speaking in general terms rather than specifics.

Neighbours were having some work done on their outhouse and some of the guttering needed installing from my garden… no problem, although I wasn’t aware at the time. Minding my own business, I see a tradesmen saunter down my drive and into the back garden. Collared him and asked him what he was doing. He explained, I suggested he knocked and asks first in future. He then proceeded to cut the uPVC on my lawn ready to fit. Told him to get back round and do it next door. He said ‘how am I supposed to know the dimensions from round there?’ offered him a pencil and told him to get lost! Sometimes I can’t decide whether folk are dumb, ignorant or just plain rude!

Had one in 2006, it was bloody brilliant.

They loved him, we hated him. Not surprising really.

Played a 7 a side tournament at Elland Rd and he was our pro. It was some gimmicky day out. Genuinely a class bloke for what it’s worth. Didn’t come across as the cocky pr1ck he did as a player whatsoever.

Am I correct saying our only options up front are Vardy and Daka? Wolves must be worried!

Anything remotely difficult decisions always go their way, the officials would much rather get it wrong in their favour than anyone else’s. Not that it was even close anyway, it was about 20 yards directly in-front of him.

Nailed on once they got that FK

Don’t worry, Connor Coady will enlighten us with something truly inspirational and everything will be ok.

I’ve always thought signing in January is purely necessary for: 1. Replacing outgoings - have we lost anyone other than Hamza? 2. Gap fill long term injuries - can lead to overpaying on a fee as is the nature of the window (short term) and a bloated squad, over paying in wages (long term). 3. To get over the line - again, doesn’t always work and leads to extra financial burden long term. A properly assembled squad in summer, along with sensible, productive outgoing loans SHOULD cover a club for a season barring any long term injuries to key players. The time, value and opportunity to integrate players/manager is there in the summer. Yet we end up scrambling around then too, so we have no hope for a successful January. It’s hit a point where I dread signing players because you can see where it’s going. Massive fees and wages relative to the players quality/potential. It was more exciting trying to sign Maynard and Mackail-Smith than what we’re doing now, which speaks volumes!

I agree with the sentiment but I don’t think this phrase helps with the stigma. I am impartial on almost all subjects, as I can imagine this post might come across as a bit ‘soft’. Other peoples lives don’t interest me much, each to their own and all that, in all respects. However, it just reads wrong (negative connotations) for something you’re trying to champion.

His career in football is over. Whether his personal/professional stresses caused his ill judged decisions is another matter I guess. I think there’s more to this. Whether a tabloid had more on him and this is a story (not meaning made up fwiw) for them to sell rather than some other, more crippling truths? He may just be lining up a book/autobio to line his pockets. Either way, as many have said. Excuses after the fact don’t fly. They come across as a deflecting tactic and I’d imagine, nobody actually cares.

That got me

Would there be any reason this has been done after the PSR outcome? Could it be Top trying to free up some avoidable outgoings (interest) for a final push to bring signings in. Last chance saloon to secure his asset’s worth?

Could we get some context when starting a thread like this please I’m lost!

Ferrari is the prestige, but I think they must have a car Hamilton likes for him to go there. Doesn’t seem like someone who’s racing for the money, he’s hungry.

Cheers mate, I tried GolfShot but the app seemed to want me to be playing golf 24/7 telling me I’m 8km from the green randomly 😂 it must know I’m really bad and think I’m playing! I play at the Manor (Driglington) and Willow Valley (Brighouse). I work over your way and there are some lovely courses by the looks of it. Definitely up for sorting something out as the weather turns. Where do you usually play?

It seems nobody below 15th wants to avoid relegation. No doubt Everton will be better than (not as terrible as) 3 teams again and Wolves probably have enough to be clear with games spare.

The amount we paid for a player we didn’t need was absolutely insane. That money on a striker or a solid centre half could’ve made the difference this season. Oliver Skipp wasn’t what we needed. Even more annoying we paid Spurs half of the Maddison fee back for essentially nothing. No impact, nowhere near able to recoup what we paid (meaning we won’t shift him), no use to us. Not a dig at the player, more the fact that he was ever on our radar and the transfer was actually sanctioned. Every transfer is a gamble, but this one was never going to be a fruitful one.
