Re: Stefano Denswil

All true i guess, but i truly believe they care about the club, it just appeaers they care more about the money. If they had bitten the bullet and splashed out what was necessary maybe they would have painted a different picture. But they appeared to use players and clubs greed as an excuse for not...

Let's Have No More Excuses

About the move to the new stadium being responsible for our crap start to the season. The facts are this. We have 4 points, all gained at the new stadium. We actually played very well (the only time in the league so far imo) in the first 35 or so minutes against Watford at the new stadium. Away from...

Re: Kayoute.

Back to the subject you faffling philosophers' Humour me ! Wouldnt we have been a better team with Kayoute and Noble staying deep as they did during our successful period early last season? Well I did say his tactics sometimes baffled me. So yes. But not at the expense of Obiang who, imo, is our be...

Re: Kayoute.

I think you may well be right. But imo it will be unfortunate that it will only be Bilic and his coaching staff who will have to find the exit door. It seems that Benteke was very much a target but he was supposedly out of our price range. That is hardly Bilic's fault is it? And of course if Bilic ...

Re: Kayoute.

I think the shit may hit the fan soon. If Benteke tears us a new one tomorrow which would not surprise me in the least, Bilic may find himself out of a job, despite all the noises otherwise. It would be difficult to see how he'd survive a 4-0 drubbing. I think you may well be right. But imo it will...

Re: old away days

Fior me you can't beat the European trips , pity we've had so few. Particularly the ones to exotic, far flung locations you just don't see in the holiday brochures. My all time favourite was Timisoara back in 1980. In the old Eastern Bloc days travel to places like Romania was a nightmare but four ...

Re: the day i have been dreading has arrived

I get a feeling of dread every time my credit card bill arrives after Mrs W has had her claws into it for a while. Seriously, everyone knew the old ground was going to be flattened so it can't have come as that much of a surprise. And for those who simply cannot or will not accept that we have, in f...
