Today's Football 2018-19 Season

[radiostar]

De Bruyne is so good, a huge miss for them this season.

Obviously he's world class but I don't actually think City have missed him much at all. Not like they have been losing left right and centre. It's only this game really. Think they won every other game !

Why when I've seen the script so many times before.

The same people who likely were shouting down the same people who knew managers like Martinez and Koeman were destined for failure.

Silva is another one mate I promise you sadly.

Mate Ferguson, Mourihnio and so called top managers would fail at clubs that cannot back them. It is as much about resources available.
Would you see a so called top manager go to a club that cannot provide them with players they want. They wouldn't want to ruin there rep and be called midtable managers.

I’m annoyed Soton got rid of Sparky...

 

[riddick]

They spent £75m on a defender and £70m on a keeper. How is that even close to our spend?

That's their two outliers. We spent £50m on a winger this year as well. Forget "them", look at Arsenal. They've spent pretty much what we have.

Aaaaand City have just handed Liverpool the title. Slow clap for you, City.

 

[Eggs]

....regardless of City’s demise and my bedwetting fears, the Reds are doing terrifically well. They are relentless.

Unbelievable turn of events today. This year could be major downer the way everything is playing out. Makes you wonder if Leicester and a Palace can win away from home against a top four side why can't we? Time for the players to man up.

It does give me hope.

Says who?

Which top manager have EFC approached who has knocked us back?

None. Zilch. Nada. Zero.

Koeman was our No1 target when Martinez was sacked

We were toying with Unsworth and Alladyce (jesus)

And Silva has been number 1 choice since we courted him last season when he was at Watford.

Not once have EFC being on record of having approached a top manager and being turned down.

I'm with you mate. Leeds went out and got Bielsa. Newcastle went out and got Rafael. Now I'm not saying we should've gone for those 2 but Midtable Silva was our number one priority since it was clear Big Sam was getting the boot. This and the fact the stadium capactiy is below everyone's expectations, shows that the people who run this club have mid table ambitions and nothing more.

Im not saying we should be top 6 - my point mate is we've spent massively more than clubs like Wolves, Watford, Bournemouth, Leicester etc yet are below/around them in the table. Who's to blame for that? Surely you can't excuse Silva for being 11th at this stage of the season when we have about £200+ million worth of talent out there every week.

 

[davek]

Gracious until the defeat is inflicted, you are right. I hope behind the scenes he´s absolutely raging at what happened today.

I'm sure he is. But he needed to start with his best players and not have them on the pitch playing catch up from 3-1 down.

 

[marsh]

We need to win tomorrow. Table doesn't look good

 

[Zatara]

Long way to go yet

So how are Fulham doing again?

They’re the best team in the league.

Only hope I can see is them getting a load of injuries.

...the stars do appear to be aligning in a most malevolent fashion...
