Not sure Schumacher is a big fan?TonyDomingos wrote: ↑Tue Jul 15, 2025 5:19 pmMatete anyone? He's in the final year of his contract at Sunderland, but has been advised to find a new club. I assume it would be a free transfer.

Sample quotes: "Me if we finally get rid of that spastic Thomason: <celebration gif>" "hopefully George Thomason has f*cked off by this time next week.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
Thomason inspires a (to me) truly surprising level of hatred from some of our fans. BWFCi's right that everyone has a price and you can't dictate demand, but I would have thought he's one of Schuey's preferred players. He works hard, which is clearly a non-negotiable. He's been happy to adapt to di...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
6 were extras. And I think they now hold the record outright for ducks in a test match innings. Not content with us only equalling it with 6, gone one better.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I do not understand that if Archer is this top line quick why stokes is bowling 11 or 12 overs on the spin against the two rabbits - can’t imagine Bumrah not bowling to finish this off. Yet we are reduced to Stokes flogging himself to death with hopefully short stuff. Why? Ball is 70 overs in? Jasp...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Think we're short here but not by anywhere near are much as the commentary team who thought you'd need 280-300. India big favourites but it won't be easy to get them. Not a pitch where anyone has scored quickly and it's got demons in it now. Big innings for Bashir coming up. There is a substantial ...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Anyhow whilst we weren't talking about batting, they managed 83 and 84 for 5 in the last test and are now 98-4, that's no great shakes either! Because India have an attack putting the ball in the right areas consistently on a wareing track and making it talk. It’s excellent bowling and not just fro...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
A lot of that comes down to are they fit though. Archer was unplayable that summer. And if fit he can run in off no run up and be lighting. Headingly test everyone remembers Stokes batting but he bowled 19 (?) overs straight the night before to knock them over. Wood is quick and skiddy.. But you're...

Re: Pre-season 2025
Yeah, most of this. I did think JDC was too narrow in defensive shape a few times first half, but we looked pretty organised overall

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
In Iles' latest article he has Schumacher quoted as saying he wants more "personalities", which would seem to confirm he's referring to the type of person rather than mere numbers. Whether he means leaders or "good in the dressing room" types, or both, I suppose we'll soon find out. Not sure he did...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I'm not. I keep saying that! I might be a little less fatalistic about it, and if you have an off day with either bat or ball, you're going to struggle against a decent India side. I don't see us getting much of a return with this 4, but it's not correct to suggest Tongue has been junior 1. He'd be ...
