The boy Linacre

Well Carlo Cudicini at Chelsea Ashley Young became only the third Englishman to win the league title in Italy, the first being Jimmy Greaves in 1962 and Gerry Hitchens in 1963, also for the Nerazzurri. Plus Tomori In the league alone, the 20-year-old Bellingham netted eighteen goals – and becomes just the fifth Englishman to enjoy La Liga success, alongside Laurie Cunningham, Steve McManaman, David Beckham and Kieran Trippier Bellingham won in Germany too Yep France is right

And we can't finish currently. Should maybe have got a point at the Cottage, our trajectories have been in different directions since, don't see us bridging the gap, but god I hope so.

I thought he was pretty poor, felt he was just lazy, but yes he could finish. But we didn't give him a chance or play to his strength's BUT if we go down, we'd be crying out for a player like that, even if he was an impact sub. I'm guessing needs must and money they spunk on wages to Daka, Hamza, Vesty, Ward etc means we need cashflow NOW, missed opportunity for both sides I suggest. Stats do look good from penos mind.

Too late, if we had beaten Palace who did look eminently beatable we would have been only 4 pts behind them, now they're gone. Not so sure about Wolves now but Everton will survive. Unless we have another great escape, this side needs a considerable increase in quality and I can't see it in the next 2 weeks. But I really hope I am wrong, I'm not going to Bristol & Plymouth again on Fridays!!!!!

And not re contract failures i.e. Hamza & Vesty on big wedge for lengthy time, but who showed something at a lower level, but rinsed at the top. And get mugged by Palace in a fire sale for a striker that can't strike on a massive cost to the club. Some anal accountant needs to be there in with him going, No, NO, NO, NO, No........etc. There must be sentiment in those 2 decisions and its just a disaster at the club when they have been so mismanaged since we won the Cup.

And what about the bloke in the City kit?

Great idea, stop buying ANYTHING from the club outside your ticket

A lot of what you say is fair but Wout's lack of a brain is a concern Skipp does offer more protection - and Winks has been poor recently, but is a level above, 50/50 (and I hate Skipp). Vardy probably needs taking out, lacking confidence. Daka is next best VERY LIMITED option, mind out in the Kop. Gives us Winks/Skipp, Mavididi (He's getting on me nerves now Champ flat track bully, well short of it at the top level) and Vardy from the bench Not going down to the KP thinking we'll win, we need new bodies or the ownership have given up too

but not Edouard

Obviously I am not comparing us to Man C but I am, there said it. They are relatively struggling this season and need a rebuild, we are struggling this season and certainly need large scale reinforcements. All you hear is Manc never trade in the Jan window but all the "Yellow" Sky Transfer pundits looks genuinely surprised they are seriously retooling now. Khusanov is pending a medical for £33.5m from Lens, Manchester City will hold further talks with Eintracht Frankfurt today about a deal for striker Omar Marmoush following a verbal deal to sign Eintracht star Marmoush and they a sniffing around a Juventus full back, OH and signed Haaland to 9.5 years. We contracted Vestergaard (after he failed) and Hamza till Set 27, on £60k & £50k. THEY ARE AND WILL GET IT DONE We on the other hand of course are playing at a considerably lower level, but with a much more pressing end game, no doubt needing outs before we can get ins and we have a £3m full back and NO other word. Embarrassing, did they watch Wednesday, I did, and I PAID to go. If Rudkin was there he was paid TO GO. 2 weeks Junior, get yer hand in yer pocket, and don't wait for the 4 league games

Actually thought Southampton were so unlucky, they were so much better. but had Amad in my FPL team, sorry Saints, so well chuffed in the end

At Ally Pally?

Well Mitomas scored

Nope Soton got in early Are United in grey again????

Just mentioned on Sky Sports Transfer Show Atlanta Utd? Had offered £15m for him, surely Palace will snap their hands off, especially as we rolled over so kindly last night.

Is the Masters worth going to?.

We need to find a way get A message to Top, thats he fallen asleep on the job, he may not care, but a good 25k of that 30k do, and invest a lot of time, effort, expense, and not watch while Junior Srivaddhanaprabha, sings/fiddles while Rome has been burning since Aug 22, but heat level has now reached LA Fire level.

Top has turned us into a Yo Yo club, I want 20k+ there every week, not full for half a season, nobody buying any merchandise etc. A couple of hundred singing Rudkin out won't matter. Hit him in the pocket, as they are us and he'll sit up

We're 19th in the League and about 75th in recruitment, whether finding them, negotiating the length of, or the cost to the club of.......gutting

Appreciate the sentiment, and mentally its the right approach to take to be positive. Everybody at the club wanted to stay up then, they just were short for the 1st 30 games, but there was devil in that team. They weren't just taking the coin. This squad is mixed. Wout has NEVER owned a mistake in his life, how does he match up against Wes & Big Bob, Chalk & Cheese, Venus & Mars etc. We saw the Vestergaard of 23 last night, I mean he had a mare A couple of players is 4, you realised last night how limited we are without a RW last night, too hard for JJ and he can't defend now anyway, and it might make Stephy slightly better IF there was somebody on the other side, and Vardy is missing too many decent chances and sadly Patson is more likely to kill somebody in the stand than hit the target. After 20 games we have 2 yes TWO wins against decent sides, lets discount Southampton & we nearly lost that. The hierarchy was supportive, this one with Junior running the show is a car crash. I would love you to be right, but can't see this one happening, this was the big week, 2 winnable home games, last night was winnable and we created next to nothing.

Currently any thread on "A Manager" is pointless for a number of reasons. Its not really their fault, it the owners/Board whatever. That Squad is NOT Premier League quality, ALL purchases aside from BEK in the summer were not Premier League Quality. Cooper was slightly more lucky he had a full squad to chose from. RVN has had no Mads or Fatawu to chose from, that is pretty tough and no Wilf either as an option. I always say, don't pull the trigger IF you haven't got a very good idea who the replacement is, and they should hopefully be better. Moyes would have been perfect for this situation, but he wouldn't come, so they made their choice. He'll either jump or be pushed at the end of the season I think. "They" have turned us from a comfortable mid table side into a yo yo club, and we are sitting here with one £3m transfer, where nobody really know ifs its inspired or totally cost based. Club currently are a joke, not much the manager can do about it, that was about the best available team out there last night & well exposed.

Ouch, genuinely feel for you, hopefully the football didn’t spoil a lovely day.

Or fall over He’s an impact sub, no more , no less, nothing more, who we learned today can take a great corner. If RVN gets that we will have made a good start.

Ambivalent about him, the squad with no Fatawu & Mads, and the total dross we bought in in Aug aside from Bilal is a basket case, he’s not a miracle worker. Though neither is he the right man for a relegation dogfight.

And Choudry how long??? And Vestergaard how long?? And must have had some involvement in BDCR & Edouard coming here. IMAGINE for Skipps fee we could have bought, Sels, Murillo & Milenkovic, good work Rudders
