    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

    If us buying Gomes gets Lemar and Coutinho into Barcelona it would be an even better deal (ruins transfer plans of a number of premier teams). The Gomes from a couple of years ago would be an amazing player for us and with Rose and aurier in the side we would have more than enough pace to make...

    But other than that, what has he actually achieved?

    The Case For Frank de Boer...continued

    The football management industry is relatively unique in that you probably don't need a huge interview with candidates since the information about everyone is largely available. We don't live and breath in the football world yet could put together a decent view on all the people linked and...

    The Case For Frank de Boer...continued

    I agree with this. A lot of managers speak their mind to the press but my biggest gripe with Tim was that he hadno ffilter between his mouth and brain which meant that when upset he told everyone what he thought of them without remembering that he needs to continue to work with them. It always...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The SOS Edition 14th May 2014

    Quote="Lufti, post: 4024531, member: 24552"]Sorry to quote a few pages back.. But that sounds like a bit of a jump to me. Considering who finished 6th (United), are you really telling me that those players are comparable to the players on United's books? Even with Moyes at the helm Didn't we...

    Sherwood has gone!

    Is there a manager sacked stamp that can be aired for such a special occasion

    Sherwood has gone!

    I don't want to start mass hysteria but I am not completely convinced that he will be gone any time soon. In theory, we have had a multitude of reasons to get rid and have not taken them. It seems a shame that the manager is not liked even with the win percentage that he has had. I cannot work...

    What our opponents' fans are saying

    So let me get this straight, they will double up against the wingers and have an extra man in midfield. I have sussed where Tim is going wrong, he can only be starting with 7 players.

    The bitch.... that is the last bunch of flowers I carefully chose from the local garage on Mothers day for her!!!!

    Sherwood has gone!

    Whilst we all hope that Tim is forcibly removed from the club, I suspect that the next few months are just going to be a significant cause of frustration for us all. My concern is how the inevitable interviews about who he wants to be brought in and moved on will affect the players at the club...

    Sherwood has gone!

    Kevin Keagan... is that you?? Don't suppose you want to manage a club from North London for a few weeks do you?

    Sherwood has gone!

    When we started the season I was thinking that we learned from the mistakes of last season by selling a player and buying a team. It seemed to be working for a few games as well as the first part of the plan is surely to be solid defensively and then build on that. Unfortunately it didn't work...

    Sherwood has gone!

    Credit where credit is due, yesterday Tim made some changes to personnel and positions that won the game for us. I am not his biggest fan as I don't agree with his touch line or (alleged) behaviour wrt AVB but if he has more games like yesterday I will happily accept him as the manager. I...

    Team vs Liverpool

    I think that the pressure in this game is significantly in their camp. They have to win to keep their title chances alive so if we were at 0-0 in the second half, they will need to be more adventurous. For this reason I would go with a solid starting team that could be made more adventurous...

    PLAYER WATCH: Soldado

    I think that he is over thinking everything at the moment. His relief when he scored the other week was evident to the whole world and he was subsequently dropped. Under Harry, we had Defoe who was also a confidence player. The number of times that he would go on a barren spell and then score a...

    Sherwood has gone!

    Much like the previous tie, we showed in about 15 minutes what we are capable of and nearly got through. We clearly have the talent to play and beat some of the best teams in the world but have no consistency in a game let alone a number of games. This is the most frustrating thing about the...

    What our opponents' fans are saying

    I would think that we all agree that their season is over, would we? Not likely to get relegated or threaten Europe... what else is there for them to really get excited about? Sadly, I remember when that was our reality.

    Lamela

    In all fairness at least he didn't get injured by the remote control, kicking the pet or tripping down the stairs like some of the footballers have managed to do over the years. I just hope that he spends the time spinning his blood to be super-human like Bale and comes back and tears the last...

    What our opponents' fans are saying

    I think that we are agreeing in our points, but my anger management is working better for me than you at the moment ;)
