    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Completely agree on 5th place, if that’s where we finish then Europa is just fine. Harry Kane might never have got a run of games without it!!! it feels to me our end to the season could either be spectacular or a disaster from here. Or, you know, somewhere in between ;-)

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Was just wondering this. Is it confirmed now, haven’t seen it in the press anywhere ?

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    So I’m guessing my post in hincapie was deleted because I mentioned I’d seen a link to him as well as saying he’d be good for lcb who can also cover lb. If I’d just started with “I like the look of hincapie” instead of “I saw a link to hincspie” would that post have been ok? Feels like a...

    Team for Fulham...

    Be interesting to see what happens when Richie is back. Does son go to lw or Richie on the bench?

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Surprising to see redondo moving to Miami, I was hoping we might go for him. The lure of playing with Messi I guess

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    I like doughty but can’t see us selling Davies so I think he’ll remain as lb cover plus lcb. I think rb is more urgent (much ad I love royal we really miss porros creativity) and would go for kwp personally. One of the most creative fullbacks around, helps solve the big club trained problem for...

    Anyone else think he’s starting to become thst 2 way winger we hear so much about? Seems to go outside a lot more now than he used to and trusts his right foot for a low cross. Much less predictable than when he always cut inside.

    Great news! Looks like utd will also have casimero snd Martinez back plus Onana has delayed his Afcon involvement so he can play us, so they will be quite strong. Battle of the physio rooms to see who can get the most players fit!!!

    Team vs Burnley (FA Cup)

    I agree with this, porro for me is the one I’d rotate he’s played virtually every game and must be at increased risk of injury. Good time to give Phillips a game I’d say or if not maybe a farewell game for dier ;-)

    Team vs Burnley (FA Cup)

    It’s also normal yo incorporate some rotation when in Europe , especially if you play a high intensity style like we do

    I’d say he’s a perfect Ange fullback given his attacking strengths lie more in timing runs into the box & goal scoring as opposed to beating a man out wide and crossing. Underlapping would suit him much more than overlapping. Good defender as well and athletic enough to get up snd down...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Villa losing means we are only 3 points behind them now eith a game in hand. Also a bit concerned about man utd getting their shit together with new leadership. So that result has something for both the optimist (looking up) snd pessimist (keeping a wary eye on teams below us) in me!
