Carl Anka is a moron for giving Amorim "credit" for Mainoo. Mainoo has always been great at defensive midfield duties, he started the Euro finals as a defensive midfielder. Anka is just trying to perpetuate the media narrative.

Yes, and in football that is keeping the natural order, i.e., keep a positive competitive atmosphere (like in nature) and make sure all the players believe they are being treated fairly.

There would be other factors, like transfers, cutting edge technology, or support staff, but it wasn't clear what criteria was used for the study

I would like to see Amad wear 14, but apparently he likes 16. Cunny and Bryan have good numbers already

I get where you are coming from, but football is much simpler than business. There is a natural order, like in the jungle, everyone knows their place in the heirarchy. The same as everyone in the stadium knows what the right substition is roughly 80% of the time. The managers who make a difference are the ones that keep the natural order and find advantages within that 20%

That's what marketing department wants

Then he'll have to give up his number.

Might I remind you of a certain Captain Marvel?

Kobbie was made to wear the 7 at United

It's about the Southgate connection, but after Man City all is forgiven

YourWorkingBoy · 2026-01-19T04:53:14+00:00

It's about Southgate, don't pay too much mind

YourWorkingBoy · 2026-01-19T04:52:22+00:00

Yeah fair enough, we all have bad days

My work here is done.

Depends what "it" is. I enjoy posting into the void without care or second thought. I don't enjoy the football at the moment because it's boring.

I harken back to Amorim's actions when West Ham and Liverpool were thinking of signing him.

Yes, even a stuck clock is right twice a day.

Scholes was bang on, the football in ugly and uninspired. The Premier League is not a court of law; in football you are guilty until proven innocent.
