Re: Dyche

He's shit and a prick to boot.

Someone will spark him out one day and the football world will rejoice as one. Just hope he's not in an Everton kit when it happens.

Re: 777 Partners Takeover

Don't know if this'll work but I've just listened to Simon Jordan and Jim White talking about the Textor links on Talksport.

Re: Summer Transfer Window Discussion

I'd be happy with this. Lost his way at City and joining West Ham mid-season having hardly played for 18 months was a big ask. Grew up a Leeds lad, so to leave there and lose his England place would take its toll, besides anything else he may have going on. Get Harrison in again (on the cheap, hopef...

Re: Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Yeah, sadly, as soon as a player shows any interest outside football, if they go through a rough patch people attribute it to being distracted and not focusing on their game etc. When it's something like a minorly 'controversial' fashion choice (see also Beckham sarong), out come the knuckleheads an...

Re: Summer Transfer Window Discussion

I think it depends on the position and the wages they'd be coming in on... Free players tend to demand higher wages. Someone like Sessengon who would be backup to Mykolenko and McNeil with Young 3rd choice at LB would be preferable to Young as 2nd choice LB. If he was out for periods you'd still ha...

Re: Summer Transfer Window Discussion

On the Ryan Sessegnon shouts, his time at Spurs has been riddled with injuries. Too risky I reckon. Yeah, I remember when we signed Tarkowski - some people had doubts but the overriding consensus was that he was a solid player and he'd missed something like 2 games in 4 years, or whatever it was. T...

Re: Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Much prefer him to stay - hasn't had a great season, obviously, but he's finally put together a run of games again and has really come good in the last few weeks of the season. Not sure in our current position how we could replace him satisfactorily, at least we know what we're getting with Dom. Eve...

Re: VAR and is there a way to fix it?

If you want to argue for argument's sake, fine but please do it with someone else. I was going to say exactly the same thing because you either wilfully misinterpreted my initial point or didn't understand it. Either way, it wasn't controversial or personally offensive in the slightest, so I don't ...

Re: VAR and is there a way to fix it?

"interfering with an opponent" says hi. You can (and should) in theory check automatically whether someone is in an offside position, though not with the methods currently in use. But whether it's an offence very much depends on your intent, i.e. did you try to play the ball or did you, a...

Re: VAR and is there a way to fix it?

There is a huge difference between all those sports and football: a lot of football's rules are based on the concept of intent. This is what makes football so watchable but it's also this that causes applying VAR to those rules a mess. (Well, assuming that VAR is applied well, which in England it i...

Re: VAR and is there a way to fix it?

They have to keep it, just do it better. We've come up with plenty of suggestions to improve it and they're all pretty easily implemented. Common sense, people who understand football, transparency. And rules that are applied consistently. Tennis, rugby and cricket all have better versions. Athletic...
