  1. What’s left with out hope, even if the reality of our world is doom we wouldn’t be here without the hope of better things to come. Amen . That’s my sermon done on this beautiful Sunday morning as we find ourselves top of the league full of hope.
  2. Just the same I hope, like you rightly said he’s not gonna bust a gut trying to win the ball back, in many ways he’s a luxury player that you give the ball to then watch the magic happen.
  3. Spot on Wiggy some blamed Allan for that goal, unbelievable?
  4. He’s even got the colour of his motor spot on as well, even the little details are spot on you can tell nothing will be left to chance, I want to see what colour his boxers are I put a bet on that there blue.
  5. Fuck me just seen Shukesters post which he posted whilst I was writing mine, nearly identical and agreeing with Haf’s, the three Amigos Forgot to add that obviously mine was better
  6. Exactly how I saw it especially your point on the overlap, he was the only player from us busting a gut to get back, you could quite clearly see he diverts his run to the left of diangana, why do that, because he’s not going to get to Diangana he’s expecting like everyone who witnessed the goal that Mina is going to stand his ground and try to block him at 30-35 yards out which would more than likely result in a pass to which Allan was trying to cover, but Mina did the unthinkable and backed off his man for 15-20 yards allowing the shot from 18 yards, that was piss poor defending regardless of what happened leading up to that moment he was in position to do his job and he didn’t do it, could Pickford have done better I don’t know possibly, I’d like to see it from behind was Mina shielding his few I don’t know, but the shot took me totally by surprise.
  7. Spot on mate, law of averages would say you’d get it right one day
  8. For me Bailey I think we are seeing strange results because some of the big players in bigger clubs are struggling to perform without the crowd, it’s like they can’t turn up without the adulation and support of the supporters, the missing of the 12th man is affecting some teams more than others, I know it shouldn’t and it’s an equal playing field but for me it does.
  9. Compared to what we’ve had to endure for the last few years, I’d say he’s pretty perfect, the art of a good player is to make it look easy. Sometimes you’ve needed to play at a decent level to grasp how good a player is, it’s what he does when he hasn’t got the ball that impresses me so much, he organises the players around him constantly talking and gesturing to them, he fills the spaces so well he’s looking to make sure if the opposition win possession there’s no big holes for them to play into, he doesn’t stop trying to be one step a head of them. I would say to Mark or anyone who doesn’t feel he’s on it to watch him for 15-20 minutes regardless of the ball position, and you will see how he looks after his area of the pitch it’s a lesson in no how, for me it’s an art and he’s an artist. And when he has the ball he’s not to shabby he can shield it, he can turn with it, he can run with it, and his passing long and short is crisp and accurate, and he can do what most people believe was the only thing that went missing in our team tackle and intercept just as well as anyone who’s played for us, but because he does everything so well above, that goes pretty much unnoticed, which I’ve always said winning the ball is just a part of what makes a good player more importantly it’s what you do with it and what effect you have on the game without it. For me he has everything in his arsenal you require to be a very good player, and he will prove to be our best player this season for consistency and quality when quietly going about his business, Ancelotti knows his stuff and Allan was top of his list and for me it’s easy to see why.
  10. DCL first hat trick deserves the ball and motm, he’s starting to put it altogether now
  11. Cough cough, please don’t start me off Mark by mentioning that fraud in the threads of proper footballers. Thank you mate, as you can see we are so much better without him, it’s like not getting over a wife or partner who left you for someone with more money and a bigger dick, you wouldn’t keep bringing her up Apologies in advance if that has happened.
  12. Get DCL, hope he gets the hatrick he deserves it.
  13. Get in great response, this could be 5-4 the way it’s going.
  14. Gomes is on the left Doucoure is in the middle from what I’ve seen
  15. I hope so mate he’s got all the attributes to be world class.
