Nice to see you haven't pre-judged him. I just hope he doesn't make as many mistakes as you have.

Now why would I want to do that? Life's too short. :tophat:

Oh no, we're not starting again, are we? Your post 1,030 currently says last edited 54 minutes ago. Originally you just said you were sat down. Anyway, I was just joking so don't worry.

As you've sneakily edited your post since I gave you a like (very crafty, must try that myself) I'd just like to add that the reason I struggled with your argument was because I couldn't see a genuine comparison. It felt like you were saying "this apple doesn't taste very orangey". Anyway...

I think most if not all of them do these days.

Why isn't Solanke playing for a top team? Maybe because this is the first season he's managed double figures in the PL. I hope not, but maybe next season we might find he is playing for a top 6 team. Who knows, it might even be us. Christie? Dear oh dear, that's desperate. He was a bottom half...

By having a dig at anyone who suggests Travers should be given a chance.

Ah, I see. But that wasn't what I was suggesting. I wrote that the stats seemed to suggest that Neto was a better keeper than Ederson or Allison, which I think is doubtful. But if it's true I wondered why he isn't first choice keeper for one of the big clubs (or Chelsea)? Or why there are no...

Incidentally, what have you got against Travers? You don't like posters questioning Neto and suggesting maybe Travers should be given a chance but I don't know why. What's Travers done that you don't even think he should be given a chance at the end of the season?

Well, I've got to say that's a real stretch and again not comparable. The three players you've mentioned were all signed as young players with the potential to improve, which they have done. Ake was sold to Man City and plenty seem to think that Zabarnyi and Solanke will leave for bigger clubs...

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

Pardon?

Not really comparable though are they? Travers has played once this season and last season he was part of Parkers let's undermine the young players squad and iirc in one game had to defend over a dozen corners. Let's wait and see if AI gives him any more games and see how he performs before we...

I don't think I've ever seen Neto leave his penalty area to hoof the ball upfield or into the stands like Travers did last night. Usually seems to stay in the 6 yard box.

What a game! Really enjoyed it up to the last 15 minutes then it was just so tense. A few points from the media: I watched MOTD and none of the 3 ex-pros thought the Kerkez challenge was a red; also I thought it was heavily edited to make it look like a much more even game than it was and to...

I wasn't a fan of his style of football and wasn't sorry to see him go but I'd resigned myself to him having another season here and was hoping he'd improve with more experience. It looks like he has and good luck to him but some of his public pronouncements are very self serving. You'd never...

I'm no fan of Forest but certainly that tackle on Hudson Odoi was a disgrace and I'm sure fans of every club in the world would be up in arms if it happened to them. Maybe it's time the clubs took the PGMOL and the PL to task about the use of var.

How anyone can look at that Ashley Young tackle at the weekend and not think the ref's made a clear and obvious error is beyond me. But the var official looked at it and even with the benefit of slomo didn't think it was worth telling the ref he'd got it wrong.

Oh, I'm certain it's not going to be thrown away but imo it's going to be years before it's actually worth having.

The whole point of var is supposedly to create certainty or correct clear and obvious errors but whatever the merits of the technology it does not exist in a vacuum and in most instances it cannot be perfect because it relies on human interpretation. So in terms of people's enjoyment of the game...
