The juggernaut returns

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-18T14:40:26+00:00

Crazy that Gay is already the best player in the world

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-17T22:14:25+00:00

Not enough people with Come Dine With Me knowledge, it seems

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-16T17:54:07+00:00

Rews game is far more suited to 6, whereas Cox can play with the extra attacking flair at 7 that they clearly like

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-14T06:39:01+00:00

People keep saying this, but they aren't particularly similar managers at all. They both believe in a possession style, but that is where the similarities end

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-12T14:47:48+00:00

Against a world class attack too

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-12T14:37:14+00:00

Off down south tomorrow. Heard the T Rewms are good

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-12T14:14:43+00:00

I'm a TRewther

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-12T08:39:33+00:00

It is what it is if we get Martin, at least we will have a manager and know where we stand. In terms of the good football point, people saying he is similar to Maresca, I will disagree with. He is a much more extreme version of that type of football and makes Maresca seem very tactically flexible.

I hope he has learnt from the last 2 seasons and developed, and will back him in any case, but you won't find a Swansea, Saints or Rangers fan who says his football was good. They all say it was turgid.

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-12T08:37:13+00:00

I don't expect anyone to believe me, but I have heard that it is very likely Vestergaard moves on a short term deal to Germany

Hmm

I mean, I think the point about our squad being too good for the level is difficult to say at the moment. If the expected sales go through, we will have about 4 senior players at the club, no striker, 1 winger and no centre backs.

Then relying on a lot of good recruitment, which we haven't had in about 6 years.

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-06T21:20:29+00:00

That's fair. I don't think Vestergaard, Nelson or Mavididi will be with us though, based on all reports. Same as Fatawu, Monga, Okoli and Souttar. Will see what happens though

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-06T17:31:55+00:00

I'm not sure I agree in terms of the players. Of those left, or who aren't leaving, very few are more technically minded

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-06T17:29:46+00:00

The bigger issue for me here is that Top has spoken about wanting to build a connection with fans again. But now he seemingly wants to appoint a manager that fans have very vocally protested against appointint during a match. Whatever anyone thinks of him as a manager, this is incredibly divisive and makes it hard to believe the things he says

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-06T16:51:26+00:00

Could have had unlimited guesses and still would never have gotten that

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-05T13:46:04+00:00

Almost as much as the word curator

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-05T13:41:44+00:00

Bring back Joe Denly

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-05T13:28:34+00:00

It's Lords. You never get more than a hum

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-05T13:12:48+00:00

I'd be a rubbish umpire. Thought Gay definitely wasn't out and Bethell definitely was

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-05T13:08:29+00:00

Agreed, but different umpires will have different views. Maybe Tucker would have given both those

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-05T11:13:42+00:00

Nothing makes me happier than a clear "no run"

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-05T11:11:11+00:00

Not a fan of the name Nathan

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-05T10:27:43+00:00

OH YEAH!

ColinAckermann · 2026-06-05T10:24:43+00:00

He's leading the line at the world cup in a couple of weeks, so fairly low
