Murphman

Very sad but true. Has to be done now regardless of whether the new boss is a stop gap. A couple of decent loan deals in the next week too, hopefully,

Let's see how quick you can leap out of your seat when you've been in Taksim on the piss all day! Moran didn't play.

Mac certainly, I don't think Grav has been dreadful, but it's a low bar and not the real problem this year, the managers tactics are at least as much to blame, players form can be affected when they don't know what the fck they are supposed to be doing. Arne's tactics currently actually suit Curtis, but not as much as they suit our opponents.

Define 'best'. Certainly great at keeping the ball, as an individual his strength is doing just that when in fact we are crying out for people who can transition at high speed, pick out early balls and get on the end of the return, making aggressive and quick attacking movement into the areas we can hurt opponents, he isn't dynamic enough for any of that. He is great for games we need to control the tempo such as when we are in front and want to slow it down, an upgraded Endo if you like.

Nah. Came off the Newcastle player. What about Tommy Smith for the second, he was disgracefully under rated, what a footballer, not just a tough guy.

Barney was sitting right behind me in The Attaturk, I said to him 'we might need you later on for the penalties'. A bit later him and me were screaming at each other when they scored their third on the break, it was a handball on the floor and in the box by Nesta and they counter attacked. Not many people or players made a big deal out of it (apart from Garcia) but we both saw it! He's a good lad is Barney, I have a photo of him in his seat behind sitting with Michael Thomas and Tony Warner.

If this was verbatim I agree, the tone sounds defeatist and angry.

Check that one out with Terry McDermott and the Spurs defence.

I was level with it when he shot. You're blinder than that fcking lino. Like Heighway, unplayable when he got in the right situation bombing on.

Emlyn was a better all round player, Robbie was the better attacking full back. Emlyn was a sweeper and a midfielder for much of his career, he was brilliant, as was Robbo. So no conclusion.

The stadium held 8000, fck knows how many people were actually in there, you couldn't move. I was about 15. The horrible barstard that was Roy Sleap (One of the nastiest 'football people' I ever met) was skinned alive for 70 minutes but caught up with Heighway before the end, a tackle that deserved an arrest never mind a red card.

I'd be amazed if some players don't come on here on the QT, in the early days Ray Kennedy was actually posting for a short spell.

If Ibou ever comes on here, unlikely as it is, from us all, RIP Mr Konate Snr.

I'm going to raise heckles. I thought Mo was rubbish tonight (again) and also in most games this year, I think, and have done for quite a while, we should cash in. Love him to bits but if we can get good money to spend on the next Mo it's a no brainer.

Oh FFS, here we go, clogging the forum up with crap Dutch puns!

Talkin' 'bout my generation. also coincidentally, as a youngster I saw Heighway play for Skem against of all teams, Slough, in the FA Amateur Cup quarter final, irrelevant to the point I know but who cares. My view, you can't be THAT wool if your dad and grandad were City folk, it's not like there is another group impacting the demographics of Kirkby.

Almost everybody in Kirkby comes from a family from the city centre or reasonably close proximity, I know about Kirkby, I used to go there for my holidays as a kid. My cousins would kill in the defence of not being called wool.

This squad is the nucleus of the current PL Champions plus a net spend of £250m worth of good footballers, a newbie can come in and have a go with zero pressure getting ready for 2026/27 as opposed to turning up pre season and saying hi.

I'd stop taking hallucinatory drugs.

No, that was that silly useless pr1ck Josemi.

Both are shyte but still legends. Riisse's hat and headed own goal notwithstanding, the fcking Norwegian helmet.

Plus his standing as a player garners immediate respect.

Only ex boot room lads had a connection with Liverpool when they were appointed. You're excluding Jurgen and Rafa, plus Shankly, I don't get this logic?

Thanks for your insight Roy.
