Is there a list of teenagers currently regularly starting in the Premier League ?

Yet others would say he has some issue with young players. I think his view would be if they're good enough they're old enough with the emphasis on good enough.

We took out a covid loan also albeit not as much.

So he got the question right ? 🤷‍♂️😂

Unfortunately the quality of PL youngsters is largely commensurate with budgets. So City, Utd, Lpool, Chelsea etc are scooping up the best and they are more likely to be able to bring them through easier than ourselves were the consequences of playing are less as they are often surrounded by...

Aren't most PL clubs owned by billionaires ? TFG will do so much but will be difficult for them to outrun the cashflows 7 or 8 other clubs are consistently generating irrelevant of success. I don't see these guys as some kind of modern Jack Walker. There'll be a figure they have where they say...

Joe Royle opted for Claus Thomsen. 😵‍💫

Revisionist BS Why should we have won ? Yes we should never have lost that leg but that wasn't down to Moyes. We were still going going for it in injury time. Chelsea were ONLY runners up in CL, PL & LC. The Yak disappeared off to AFCON after that 1st leg as well.

Baines was out as well.

I'd rather us not win a cup than have the subsequent fallout of Wigan, Swansea, Birmingham, Middlesbrough etc al. Cups aren't won on the law of averages they have typically been won by the better/best teams in the league. We were beaten by Fiorentina over 2 legs as we weren't good enough - to...

Isn't that what I've effectively said ? Us attacking more aggressively would likely have resulted in more chances for Arsenal than ourselves.

We're probably not going to win a Cup either without a big helping of luck either. Being good in the Premier League gives you a better chance of competing for a cup than being bad in the Premier League.

Unfortunately money pays the players and 1 higher league place earns about as much as the 6 FA Cup rounds.

You realise opening up on them increases their scoring opportunities exponentially. Better finishing by them on Saturday and we lose 5-0.

Moyes has had 5 top 6 finishes with EFC. How many times have EFC finished top 6 since 1987 ? 1 under Harvey, 1 under Royle & 1 under Martinez. So 3 times out of the other 25 seasons ? Excluding 2003/04 he's never had us below 11th. Not sure what people are expecting for a club that's outspent...
