That Blackpool defeat is even worse the more you look at it.  The swing was 7% bigger than even the latest MRP polls. Polls which none of us really believed would come to fruition?
And that’s before you even start looking at the swing to deform as well.

So you are saying the manager has underachieved then?  ;)

Ach, fair play. I just thought by the tone of my initial message it was obvious it wasnt to WUM or anything, it was actually to promote discussion / debate.

 

Fair point back at you. It's difficult to put valuations on players nowadays, and they are just often dictated by what someone is willing to pay, or what a selling club is demanding, half the time in the hope to ward of interest, and half the time to drive up the price.

.

I don't think people are overly defensive of Arsenal fans on here. Only trying to speak for myself, but I think the fact I've been on here for over 10 years, have thousands of posts and have rarely if ever been accused of being a WUM helps.

People want different things from forums. Some like to engage in proper discussion or debate, even with a rival fan like myself. Others can't stand rival fans on the forum and prefer to just poke and prod at them. There's no right answer, obviously I prefer the former, it looks like you prefer the latter a you've came in here swinging recently.  :-[

To answer your question on Arsenal fans leaving, I thought it was a really, really poor show, I found it very weak and entitled, but I'm not a match going fan so they can always say to me that at least they put their money where their mouth is.

I'm not a fan of the Subway loyal in general as we call them up in Glasgow, as we have a problem with folk leaving early from Rangers games as well.

As for right backs, I wasn't asking who the better right back is, EPL team of the year is for who has performed best that year. Trent is better, but missed nearly 1/3 of the games. Walker has been criticised from his own fan base for performances this season. Trippier, well he was giving away goals nearly every week at some point this season. I was actually feeling sorry for him at one point!

You’re right, it didn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out.

I'll take that Nick!!  ;D

I was laughing about this at first, but now I think he did it on purpose, to draw attention to "must bring ID" in his typical "likeable idiot" way and to get on the news on an election day.

Champions League football secured, too early for another thread?  ;D

Wikipedia has us in pot 1. Man City, Bayern, Real Madrid, PSG, Dortmund and Leipzig all there.

Barcelona, Leverkusen, Arsenal, Milan, Feyenoord, PSV and Stuttgart have all qualified too.

Can see this new structure causing people to loose their heads if we get Leipzig and City get Madrid.

Obviously we'll get Porto

That USA figure is a problem though as it means the fed will probably keep a high rate, forcing us to.

I can’t see rates being cut until Q3 or 4 this year to be honest

The Tory spokesman on BBC just, was amusing and infuriating in equal measures.    Every question he just fell back
On the Rwanda line.

I’m sure when Johnson was PM, the French wanted to sort a system out to process immigrants.   The Tories weren’t interested so the French have just said “have em”.   Can anyone else remember this ?
