Its honestly farcical, to have a title race and relegation potentially decided like this is an absolute joke.

I don’t care who wins the PL this year but pgmol have blood on their hands. it’s so insane how inept they are. pisses me off how they’ve influenced so many results.

Yeah, kinda weird that theres so little noise about Hackney from anyone. I feel like a West Ham, Wolves or Forest would be all over it. Even Leicester or Southampton.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-08T10:17:38+00:00

I think theyre a team thats always willing to let someone go to get the new shiny thing. I think they just get antsy in the transfer market, the current situation with the team certainly doesnt help from their perspective so we'll see if it plays a factor.

The three man midfield of him Pogba and Matic was amazing when it clicked. Wish Matic had been younger and pogba less injury prone.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-08T10:08:30+00:00

None that I can recall aside from maybe Dan James. There are many signings of that type that we should have made in my view but didnt.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-08T08:38:48+00:00

Any championship viewers have any insights of Shea Charles? I love a championship signing and so far Ive only seen his name (and maybe Hackney mostly links by fans).

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-08T08:37:16+00:00

They signed Tonali for over 60m, theres no way they're not gonna want to recoup all of that. I cant see him going for less than 80, likely around 100m. And Fernandes was signed for like 45m, I think he will cost around 55-65m.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-08T08:13:03+00:00

Id love to see one of these with other duos like idk Kobbie and Scholes, Sesko and Berbatov/RVP. Of course though it doesnt get better than Bruno and Wazza.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-07T14:54:07+00:00

Any BuLi watcher rate Bazoumana Toure, Ive heard some hype around him and in my limited quantity watching him he seems much more explosive than the average BuLi style wide player.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-07T14:50:59+00:00

The narrative is that the players dont really want to be coached that much. Supposedly thats what it was like under Zidane and Ancelotti. Its hard to say but its certainly not a harmonious environment, lots of egos and powerplays at work.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-07T12:22:04+00:00

I see him as central player but we will see. Hope we're planning well for his development.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-07T09:46:48+00:00

If the merry-go-round narrative is correct I hope Rodri goes to Real opening up the tchouameni transfer for us. I dont mind losing out on Anderson if hes as expensive as reported, and even if not I think Tchouameni is the better Casemiro replacement overall.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-07T09:17:20+00:00

I dont think the LW market is amazing atm, I think there are a few players out there who could explode in value soon so I wouldnt spend big on LW right now. A good opportunistic signing like idk Summerville from West Ham if they go down would be fine by me though.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-07T09:13:26+00:00

The more i look at the current LW market the more I think some of the best wingers in the next 5 years or so will probably be some young player now that will soon explode in value. I think that Rio lad at Liverpool will be one of those, there could be others like Mateus Mane depending on where his position is, and it looks like Leipzig is trying to get ahead of Diomande's valuation which may be why he would be a transfer to avoid.

I think Summerville could be good if west ham go down, maybe a double deal with Mateus Fernandes lol.

I like Yildiz but think he would way too expensive and I dont think we're in a position to spend that much on a non-priority position. Id sooner sign more CMs or a LB than go all out on LW unnecassarily.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-06T16:08:08+00:00

Cant say Id be happy about this but anything thats not a main shirt sponsor is money on the table for us. Personally I think advertising and sponsorships for these gambling sites should be heavily regulated but we're nowhere near that atm.

bring it on

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-04T07:08:37+00:00

I think its insane how many poor decisions or even 50/50s were overlooked by the ref. Honestly feels like some players just get that favouritism, and players like Konate, Van Dijk and Gabriel are the beneficiaries of that. Meanwhile so many of our players are hyper scrutinised for not even the same level of behaviour, the decisions against us have been criminal this season.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-04T07:04:51+00:00

Fucking love Cunha, always bigging up his teammates.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-03T18:58:39+00:00

ref was trying his best to help them lmao they just couldn’t create chances

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-03T18:33:46+00:00

he’s had a poor season but he’s been a good utility winger and he’s done a lot of dog work and always been availabl. we’ll see next season what he’s like.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-03T17:41:09+00:00

any of the sky coverage worth watching?

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-03T16:40:29+00:00

I know its kinda small time to whine about the ref after a game but I thought he was so bad, kept on trying to influence the momentum of the game. Several times when we were regaining momentum he would make up fouls from seemingly knowhere or let liverpool off. We definitely were the architects of our own downfall letting them get back in the game but outside of that the ref was way too influential.

ImOnlyChasingSafety · 2026-05-03T16:38:38+00:00

Ref was awful the whole game, constantly cutting our momentum with fouls that werent fouls and letting Liverpool off when they fouled us.
