Very good post Bigal, nails it... your final sentence is a bit ambiguous though and reads like you think Cooper is English which I’m sure you know he isn’t...or did you mean Potter or Howe if they want an Englishman? [Post edited 24 Mar 7:23]

Oh no, what a character and such a talent. I’m surprised he made it to 75 though, wouldn’t have put money on that back in the 70s |

Thread | Leeds or Southampton in the playoffs
at 09:45 19 Feb 2024
If we don’t get automatic, we’ll probably have to go through one of these two. Let’s hope it’s just in the final and not over two games. I’d love to beat Leeds in the final, but my head tells me we’d be better to meet Southampton. I’m arrogantly assuming we make the playoffs and get to Wembley of course... |

Not strictly true...Ireland had a man advantage for only 45 minutes which is nearer half the match than 3/4. In the time both sides were at equal strength Ireland still clearly outplayed France... |

Reply | So, £3m and £15k pw for a striker….
at 12:04 17 Dec 2023
I don’t follow other teams enough to have any suggestions, but what I would say is that I think Gamechanger will spend. We are in a great position to get promoted and if we think of ourselves as an investment piece in their fund then for a relatively small outlay of at least say £10-£15m they could see a 20 fold return if we go up. It’s got to be worth the risk to them surely? |

My brief tuppence worth....all this chat is irrelevant until we see what happens with us this season. The next four months will give everyone a better idea of how KM handles pressure. If we blow a 10 point lead and don’t get promoted via playoffs, will his stock still be high? If he gets some money to spend in January, how will he use it? Will it derail us or will it help us breeze to promotion? Will he show he can integrate new players at a crucial time? If we go up, is he the sort of man to prefer the challenge of keeping us up? Will his salary be tripled by us? Plenty of factors which will determine what happens, not least of which is all the stuff we can’t control at all the other clubs. |

I’m sure it probably will...but it won’t be soon, as the OP stated. Howe is loved up there and has done exceptionally well so unless there’s a total implosion this season, he’ll get a few more years with a stronger squad at least. |

That wave is taking us closer to the point where Gamechanger will have a decision to make whether to spend in January and go all out for promotion this year…maybe they’ve already decided but we’re certainly giving them plenty of reasons to do so. Might never get a better chance… |

Reply | McKenna or Rooney
at 17:46 5 Nov 2023
McKenna isn’t going anywhere near Man U until the dust has settled with the Ineos buy in, how that affects the football side of things and their stadium is sorted, all in my opinion....and that will be 3-4 years. United have another manager in them before Kmac. No way they take on someone who hasn’t had some experience of managing successfully in the PL or one of the top European leagues/CL. A few years showing he can hack it in the PL with us and he’s a top target, if he doesn’t get us up in a few years then he is less attractive for the big boys for sure and more likely to go to a Palace or Brentford (as I think Franks will get a big move at some point) |

Reply | That hockey incident
at 23:09 30 Oct 2023
I have watched hockey regularly, mostly NHL, for 40 years...I’ve seen plenty of big hits and checks but never seen anything which caused a players leg to go up like that. No way do I think Petgrave deliberately intended to cut him with his skate but it does look to me like he was targeting him and trying to block him with his trailing leg...hard to tell if there was any contact on Petgrave or if his front skate caught in the ice which may have caused his leg to fly up. I’m giving benefit of the doubt because the alternative is pretty unthinkable... |

Stayed at The Kixby on W35th St. near the ESB...great location near Herald Square subway station which is a main station with all the lines through it so easy to go anywhere from there. On the pricier side of budget but it was our anniversary too so worth it. |

We’re playing like Keegan’s Newcastle from the mid 90s...as they were one of the best teams to watch I’ve ever seen in the PL I’ll happily go along with the current state of affairs. I’lll tell you honestly, I will love it when we get promotion, just love it... |

Allan is the reason I support Ipswich. He played for my hometown club Coleraine although I was only a few years old when he left for England. When he signed for Ipswich in 71 I was at an age where I was searching for a team to follow and instead of going for Man U or Liverpool like most Northern Irish lads, I went for Ipswich as his transfer there was big news in Coleraine. Was also taught to play golf by his brother Victor who was golf pro at Portstewart. |
