    Matt Grimes

    You do have to wonder why there has never been a serious effort made from any team higher up the pyramid to pry him away even when he was basically available for free, whilst Downes was here for one season and no doubt offers will be made for Franco.

    West Brom plan talks with Swans boss Williams

    Admitted 2nd March. Released 7th March. So not even one week. And of course, plans would already have been well in place for both games he missed during that period. I'm not dissing Curt, but even at the time there were some very weird vibes surrounding Guidolin and people attempting to...

    West Brom plan talks with Swans boss Williams

    Must be honest, the idea that the Alan Curtis who, despite being a club legend has never shown any real aptitude for coaching and seemed to have been kept around more for morale purposes than anything else, was more responsible for our Premier League survival than the hugely respected coach with...

    Man Utd

    I'm certainly not disagreeing. As others have pointed out, it's a situation that we've got some experience in too. Managers should be more flexible in the way they want to play if the tools available don't suit it. Not many are these days.

    Man Utd

    I think their biggest problem at the minute is that t hey haven't really got an idea of what style they want. They've chopped and changed so much since Fergie retired and let different managers spend hundreds of millions on players who don't suit the next manager that they've tied themselves in...

    Man Utd

    He's getting a lot of stick from Man Utd fans for insisting on playing the same way he did at Sporting despite that not particularly suiting the players he's got at Utd.

    West Brom plan talks with Swans boss Williams

    I think we're broadly in agreement but coming from different directions. Yes, the ultimate roots of the current style probably lie in Cruyff's work at Barca (based on Rinus Michels of course), but it's very much Guardiola's version which everyone is trying to copy these days because, as you...

    Side to side to side to side. Work it up one flank, turn, pass it backwards, pass it over to the other flank, turn, pass it backwardzzzz....

    West Brom plan talks with Swans boss Williams

    I'd be interested to see if there were any figures that indicated if there has been a year on year increase in defensive errors leading to goals conceded over the last decade or so. Certainly seems like it looking at the highlights, but that might just be my confirmation bias talking. Russy...

    West Brom plan talks with Swans boss Williams

    I don't think the way we play now resembles the kind of football we played under either Martinez or Laudrup at all other than the emphasis on passing. Brendan perhaps to a certain degree (he was the first manager I can remember who started talking about possession figures), but there was plenty...

    West Brom plan talks with Swans boss Williams

    We were ten points clear of the bottom three and eight points short of the playoffs when he was appointed. We are currently twelve points clear of the bottom three and four points shy of a playoff spot. Not a huge difference, although the league position is a lot better. Tend to agree with...

    I just caught the end of them. Even got one or two Blackburn plastics during the Walker era.

    Man Utd

    As someone who grew up during their dominant period surrounded by plastic Mancs, I couldn't agree more.

    MP-H goal celebration

    Yep. Football fans love to dish it out, but woe betide the player who gives a bit back. Hence the reaction to it.

    Super Franco

    The only genuinely top level quality midfielder we have. The slagging of Fulton is tiresome though. Within minutes of coming on he was getting booed for playing the exact same kind of passes that people praise Grimes for. Kid can't win. He's not a suitable replacement for Franco because we...

    Predictions

    They genuinely thought that signing Chambers was something to crow about, like he was a top level pro other clubs wanted to have in their team. His Premier League career was effectively ended by a Swans player fit only about 20% of the time. Since then he's been on a downward spiral. Expensive...

    Predictions

    That's the concern. I haven't seen three worse teams than them this season. Plymouth under Rooney perhaps, but after that Hull, Pompey, Oxford and Stoke should all be better than they are. They do have a habit of surviving despite being shite. Getting away with it because of Reading's points...

    Eom

    This. I don't think Tymon is necessarily poor at defending, but the way we set up does tend to leave him exposed an awful lot. Maybe if we were a bit more "orthodox" in the use of our fullbacks we wouldn't leave so many wide open spaces in behind us. When it comes to left hand side set pieces...

    Annis Abraham Tweet 😂😂😂

    The efforts they've gone to trying to paint themselves as the injured party over the whole Sala thing have been nauseating. One or two of them have called bullshit on it in fairness. Most haven't.

    Annis Abraham Tweet 😂😂😂

    Glad someone else remembers it. Even at the time I couldn't believe how demeaning that was. Willing to throw every bit of heritage away for more money.
