I even remember seeing Northampton in the top flight. By they way how do you feel about the prospect of Luton back in top tier?

Not great as no doubt there would be a lot of comment about Edwards and rightly so I guess .

 

They hopefully wouldn’t do well though!

Despite unquestionably having had a disappointing season this year and looking largely low on confidence and form throughout, playing for a team with absolutely awful chance creation rates, Patson Daka has got 4 goals and 4 assists from just 13 starts this year. 

 

He's managed 0.62 goals or assists every 90 minutes he's played. That's a better return than Watkins, L. Diaz, Gakpo, Son, Sterling, M. Antonio, Bernardo Silva, Richarlison, Bamford, Zaha, Brennan Johnson, Vardy, Joao Felix, Jarrod Bowen, Mateta, Wood, Pulisic, Madueke, the list goes on. 

 

I think it's time you found a different target for your jokes because your determination to take aim at Daka at every opportunity is making you look a lot thicker than you realise. 

Interesting response. “Thicker”? 😂😂. For having an opinion? Wow. Isn’t that a two-way street? Does that make you “thick” for your constant defending of him? Even resorting to dialling up stats? 😳. For the record, I think he seems a truly fabulous guy. I just don’t rate him as a player at PL level. He’s not strong enough, quick enough, composed enough or skilful enough. And despite those stats, or a glorious thirty minutes in one game in Russia, I don’t think he’s that good a finisher, either 🤷.  But I’ll happily eat my words and and make cheap gags about a different player if he starts to perform even close to the standard we would hopefully expect a very expensive signing to perform at. 👍

"I just fink hes rubbish  mate innit falls over all the time dont fink hes strong enuff like yknow" = opinion.

 

His productivity stats = facts.

 

Stats > opinions, especially when that opinion is that Patson Daka is a poor finisher. I  mean, look, his dribbling is shocking, his passing is inconsistent, his movement is still really raw and he's got a lot of developing to do. If anyone thinks I'm trying to paint Patson Daka as a world class talent then they're sorely mistaken. But even his biggest critic has to recognise that his knack of finishing when presented with a half decent chance is pretty damn good, he's very similarly capable to Iheanacho in and around the box only he's far less one footed. 

 

If you think he's a poor finisher you just haven't been watching him play, or you've been skulling about ten pints in the process.

Surely will have to be ?

Didn't know of that ruling for the FA to hand over registration, but does make sense.

 

You'd assume FIFA would then make the ban worldwide but you'd think there would probably be some loop holes if the rulings didn't apply to other governing bodies rulings. 

 

Article does go on to say this would just make everything clearer.

Who has then?

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65626690

from your link 

 

In a statement, the FA said: "His [Toney] sanctions were subsequently imposed by an independent Regulatory Commission following a personal hearing.

"The independent Regulatory Commission's written reasons for these sanctions will be published in due course, and the FA will wait to review them before commenting further."

 

It is explained better in this article below

 

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11748/12883059/ivan-toney-brentford-striker-banned-for-eight-months-for-breaching-betting-rules

 

“An independent regulatory commission imposed Toney's sanctions and he will not be allowed to train with his Brentford team-mates until September 17.”

 

Sky Sports News senior reporter Rob Dorsett:

 

"It isn't the FA that have imposed this sanction. There's an important level of independence when it comes to serious disciplinary matters like this.

 

"The FA do the investigating and the charging but then they hand it over to an independent commission. That's normally made up of people very senior within the game but also lawyers, former high court judges.

 

"They look at the facts and decide what sanction is suitable. They've decided that Ivan Toney, as a result of those 232 charges he's admitted to and been found guilty of, should get an eight-month ban from all football.

Please can i add Demarai Gray the epitome of clueless who some still wish was here for us this season...4 goals & 1 assist in 31 appearances for Everton, think i'll stick with Daka also.

Whoever wins between coventry/luton it will be league 2 to premier league in 6 years...has that ever been done before?

Not that i can see while the premier league has existed, only closest one is Man City went from premier league to league one and back to premier league between 95/96 and 00/01

I think the original Wimbledon went from non league to top flight in 8 years.

That's impressive. Won the fa cup within 10 years of being a league club.

I don't think anyone beats Northampton Town Rise and Fall

 

Bottom to top and back to the bottom in 10 years.

 

Under Dave Bowen, Northampton were promoted three times in the five years 1960 to 1965. Starting the 1960–61 season in the Fourth Division, they reached the First Division in 1965–66, their only season ever in the top division of English football. They were then relegated back to the Fourth Division over the next five years, playing in the bottom tier again in 1969–70.

Brighton not looking strong tonight - big chance for Newcastle 

De Zerbi seems to make so many changes from game to game and in most games leaves some of his seemingly better players on the bench. Can't really argue with the results on the whole, though.

West Ham or Newcastle matches?  I guess the WH one is the only one with relevance to use atm - (desperately clutching at straws that they'll have nothing to play for when we face them, last.)

Basically next to nothing .

Nope and why the hell did it take so long to get a punishment. He was in the wrong, nip it in the bud, make example of him and move on. This just drags the saga out.
