  1. Think they've got enough Donkeys up there already without sending more.
  2. Why would you take Ebosele out? He's a first team regular in Serie A now. Mainly playing as right mid/wing back in a 3-5-2. I'd think he's be one of the most valuable on current market value.
  3. Is he better or worse than Dobbin? In your opinion
  4. With his past injury record he will always be a risk, but without those issues he would be playing at a much higher level and we wouldn’t have a chance of signing him. While we are playing at this level we need to take a few (educated) risks on signing players that have had setbacks, but have the potential to play at a higher level. TJJ is ideal for us right now. We need forwards that give us a different dimension from Collins and with him only having 6 months left on his contract then we can potentially get a bargain deal on someone with his attributes. Arsenal won’t be offering him a new deal now, it’s up to the player to find a club that will help his career take off. I hope it’s with us and he goes on to get back to full fitness.
  5. Scapegoat for this afternoon sorted. Cheers
  6. Away in Japan visiting family at the moment, so was asleep through the match. Woke up to the score notifications on my phone and saw Cashin had scored the winner. Thought we’d given away a 2-goal lead and then nicked it, but further scrolling back through notifications showed a lovely comeback win from 2 down. Ive read through all the pages here and was laughing to myself during the first half posts. Great belief by the team and some of the posters on here though and we win again. EIEIEIO
  7. Amazing you wrote the tune to "Everything I do" about 5 years before Bryan Adams did. Did you receive royalties? Could've helped out during the admin years that...
  8. Depending which road you choose good luck getting out easily. Can get congested on match days around here. I live a 20 minute walk away from the ground and a lot of Orient fans prefer to park a bit further away to get a clean run out after the match.
  9. Logo kinda looks like one of those little blue pills. But hey, whatever gets the boys up for the task.
  10. No need for him to lose control of the ball after that push. If he wasn't so OTT and theatrical about it then the ref would maybe have given him a free kick.
  11. They highlight the timeframe of February 2023 with a downturn in her mental wellbeing. You can join the dots, but someone joined Sheffield United Women's team then and was suspended following her death. The names not being published whilst investigations are under way, but I think it's much deeper than just about how much she was earning.
  12. Bellingham is playing well as a CAM at Real Madrid, but it doesn't mean he can't do the hard yards in a slightly deeper role that allows Maddison to attack. If we wanted to allow Bellingham to operate in his Real Madrid role, then I'd probably put Trent into his midfield position and use Maddison as an impact sub when needed.
  13. GK: Pope RB: Walker CB: Stones CB: Tomori LB: Chilwell CDM: Rice CM: Bellingham CM: Maddison RW: Saka ST: Kane LW: Foden/Rashford Good old 4-3-3 with one CDM like we used to play with McClaren.
  14. When I read the news earlier I was too shocked and saddened to process it. Like many have said, although we've not met, he was such a character you felt like you've spent a lifetime talking with him down the pub. The type of conversations where your mates trying to pick you up after a bad day. His posts would always be a highlight in any thread. 38 is no age, but hopefully he is at peace and will be able to look down and see the Mighty Rams go from strength to strength on their charge up the leagues and to the Champions League final in a few years. Of course mainly with lads from the academy. I love the "Be More B4" idea and hope that all of us can bear him in mind when things aren't going so great and we can add some positivity to the forum in his absence. RIP Daniel 🖤 🤍
  15. Those who can’t find the match on ITVX might have the old ITV Hub app on their smart tv or box. I had to download the latest version to my Firestick because my BT Box took me to the old app without a live tv option.
  16. Where's the new match thread? We should be looking forward to a big Cup win this weekend, not talking about the state of their food choices.
  17. I wouldn't be against the appointment if the job was available, but at the moment we have a manager and last night we had a big improvement in performance and result. Lets try and support the turnaround and see how the team do over the next few games.

    He was already a shadow of himself then. I wonder more about what would've happened if Liverpool hadn't recalled him during his loan spell and where we could've gone with him. So many different scenarios, but we are where we are now.
  19. So the Champions League is weak now? What is a competition we should judge the top players who play in Europe by? Arsenal actually have a very good team, their weakness last year was strength in depth, which they haven't really fixed in defence with the long term injury to Timber. I would say La Liga standard is worse than Serie A currently, with Bundesliga closely in 4th place. These are the top leagues in the world still and anyone who can compete at the top end of them and have an impact for a big team (Tomori) is worth more than someone who can't even get in a team ahead of someone filling in in their secondary position. Maguire hasn't let Southgate down. He has been at fault for goals England have conceded recently, but one player doesn't make a team. Southgate needs to be giving the players a chance that have earned a call up through their recent performances, otherwise we get to a point where a whole load of players retire and we have a bunch of players who haven't got the required international experience trying to gel as a team.
  20. It's a horrendous choice in my opinion (not that Southgate cares what I think). I also mentioned up thread that Tomori has been part of one of the most solid Serie A defences the last few seasons. This year the only match they've lost is when he was suspended (for a second yellow in the previous match that was dubious). His team got to the semi-finals of the Champions League last year, thanks to some solid defending. Harry Maguire can only dream of having the impact the last few seasons that Tomori has had.
  21. An academy competition but Mansfield using an image of a 30 year old first team defender on their promo?
