Haaland has a history of injuries so it’s obviously a terrible signing…..

They got him for a knock-down price compared to Grealish and they've showed they're not bad without a "centre forward". What was Mbappe? 180m?
Small change squad filler....

Re: Tonight's Football
He has the kind of injuries you'd expect from a young, heavy sprinter; but yeah it's something City will be aware of and they have already signed a player who can compete with him and cover for injuries.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 7:57 amHaaland has a history of injuries so it’s obviously a terrible signing…..
Kane, on the other hand, wasn't worth the money - in part due to his injury profile and age.
Kane has had to have surgery to repair hamstring and ankle injuries. Haaland has strains. There's a difference to the risk there.

I'm not quite as averse to Liverpool as it shuts the other lot up

Re: Tonight's Football
100% this. United, enough said. Liverpool, the absolute worst for fans who think supporting their team is somehow a moral act.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 11:50 amThe alternative is seeing Man Utd and Liverpool win stuff.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 8:53 amAnd exactly why I like to see the likes of City and Chelsea fail miserably.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 8:23 amAnd so it might prove.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 7:57 amHaaland has a history of injuries so it’s obviously a terrible signing…..

Re: Tonight's Football
Could I just say on the Liverpool v United bit....If Liverpool were to do a treble, like United's, they'd equal the buggers on titles, be further ahead on CL wins and it would be a whole lot quieter where I live even if it got more noisy 35 miles away... That is all.

Re: Tonight's Football
It’s a massive topic that encompasses way more than just football. And to be honest of course it’s absolutely horrid. But so are the Liverpool and Man Utd’s of this world who pretend their growth was ‘purely organic’ mainly because it happened years ago and at critical points. Both are foreign owned and have absolutely ripped the piss for years. But they claim moral superiority which annoys me more than the blatant nu money at City and Chelsea.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 1:00 pmI love our discussions.

But yeah. Very complex. City’s owners are about as bad as you can get so if we look beyond football and fans then it’s a sorry state of affairs all round.

Re: Tonight's Football
Tonight's North London Derby should be a cracker. Contrasting styles of play. Both teams going for the same target. The traditional rivalry.
After yesterday's incredible individual showing from KDB this *should* be a much more evenly-matched spectacle.

Re: Tonight's Football
F.A.CUP FINAL, prejudices apart, was a cracking game of football. I suppose (purely impartially except Liverpool is a northern club (and my wife is a born Scouser) it was a right result but a very even game with both sides having good spells. Man of the match for me was Marcos Alonso; he ruled Chelsea's left side and never stopped running. Good entertaining game.

I can still remember a lot of Bolton fans saying Alonso wasn't good enough to play in the Championship.

Re: Tonight's Football
I remember him having an absolutely dreadful game down at Fulham - one so poor it sticks in the memory. What was the Irish lad called who they signed from Blackburn? Ran him ragged.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 12:38 pmI can still remember a lot of Bolton fans saying Alonso wasn't good enough to play in the Championship.
And that one's not the only one.
Not sure I ever said he wasn't good enough for Division 2, however, I'm absolutely delighted for him. The way he's stuck at it and developed as a player is to his immense credit.

Pitch invasions for winning a play off semi. Embarrassing. One set of fans is going to look the nice person.

3-0 down either by half time or very early second half…earliest I’ve left a game, was supping in northern quarter by about ten past five

Looks like a Forest fan ran on and butted Billy Sharp. Not good. Looks a nasty one.

Re: Tonight's Football
Hope they catch the bloke and lock him up, outrageous. Hope Huddersfield do them in the final an all, scabby last min penalty or summat. Absolute disgrace - and Huddersfield fans were dickheads on Monday as well!
