Not, uh, complimentary toward Moyes. But not toward Everton, either: a “storied mid-sized club” with “an unbridgeable gulf between expectation and reality, where the interests of the fanbase — take some risks, play with romance, make us dream again — are at direct odds with the business plan, which demands mid-table Premier League football in perpetuity.” Is that Everton under Moshiri??

MikeO Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Christie should definitely get two games for this, but Morelos should get at least three games for his haircut! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50960653 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I watched 4 games yesterday started watching the 5th Arsenal and Utd but at just gone 2am decided enough was enough, but what I did see was Brighton Southampton and Norwich go out to win the game with some decent performances, then disappointingly we didn’t.

markjazzbassist Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 If Leeds had an actual striker instead of Bamford they could be a really nice side. doing very well against Arsenal.

I have a soft spot for them ever since Yeboah. I love watching old videos of him scoring stunners. His goal against Wimbledon will always be one of my favorites.

MikeO Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Weirdest stat ever? At half time tonight Rangers are 1-0 up with 17 shots against zero for Stranraer but Stranraer have 67% possession. Strange game I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will never be removed from the club as financially they are growing year on year, he's employed to make the Glazers money and is doing exactly that. The results on the football pitch are very much a secondary concern to the income that Woodward and his team generate. Not that chants calling for his death should be acceptable mind, a little bit over the line to be honest regardless of how poor the team are playing.

Indeed. Their brand will become worthless if they don't start competing again and then the owners will sod off, with all the debt saddled on the club. But, so long as the name means something, they'll keep getting stupid money but more and more debt. Woodward should stick to the business and leave player deals to someone who has sense and cares. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Leeds seem to be going into self-destruct mode again, cruising along at the top of the Championship and they then pick up three points from the last five games. Was sure they were finally going to get back to the top flight but be over the moon if they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Ziyech to Chelsea in the summer. It will be interesting to see if they play him wide or centrally. Not sure the league will suit him if it's central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
