Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Collins out would be madness. But that LW is maybe the best slot for McAtee? Feck knows what he is though.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Collins makes no sense at all to me unless it's £2m+. A reverse Dapo. There we changed shape so it didn't suit our best player then let him go on the cheap. Here looks like we're finally going to change shape to one that suits our best player and then...let him go on the cheap. Madness if it's true....

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

He wants to get into the Wales squad, that isn't happening in L2.

Stranger things have happened in football but I'd be very surprised if it happened, and it would need to be a L2 record signing and some, for me.

Re: Tonight's Football

You don't remember very long. We lost (horrifically) 1-0 to Iceland three weeks before the last euros started and got to the final. We spent 15 years winning every qualifier and falling as soon as we meet anyone good. These games are meaningless (as long as you qualify, which we will).

So unwise.

Not a pointless post season friendly. The pearls.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Left footed centre half in league one is like a keeper who is "good with his feet". I mean nice enough if it happens but good grief there are more pressing concerns.

Re: Tonight's Football

Pretty easy decision for most of us, and objectively Tottenham finishing 17th and having a better season than Arsenal is very funny. (Hope you're doing well generally :D ) Hi Pru, you still living in north London? Trophy or not, I think I’d still take our season over theres (mainly because being th...

Re: The Politics Thread

I think broadly it's fair to say current pensioners have a better deal than anyone younger than them will ever have. I'm really cautious about "generational warfare" or the grim trend of pitting generations against each other. It isn't pensioners fault. It's a maths problem from the 40s. The stage p...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Bit worrying that he's at his best in front of the home dugout. We have to play 23 away games! :-) :D It's not quite the 'defence' the writer thinks... I remember that very game. Early night match after our promotion wasn’t it? Think it finished 1-0. Correct - first midweeker of the season, after w...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Yer man above's analysis would come with a p value of about 500!

Classic case of stats nerds trying to come up with anything at all to say, IMO.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I think the other reading is a 343 but with wingers rather than "10s". More Conte with Willian and Hazard either side of Costa. I'd be a lot happier with that than the narrow version (which I'm still convinced Evatt was steered towards by England playing it despite at no point ever looking comforta...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

All fair, and I agree I'd expect to see both at points, but there were a couple of teams towards the end where even the XI picked would have suited a 343 more and we will played the 4. I'd be surprised if 433 wasn't Plan A.

Iles also seems convinced it's a 343 next year which I'm... not.
