Thread | Getting way ahead of myself

Davis would be great for Brentford - been playing Lewis-Potter ahead of Henry.
O’Shea can certainly find a club at that level.
Cajuste was in the door there last summer.
Hutchinson isn’t a direct Mbeumo replacement yet, but McKenna would surely take any release clause details with him, and be happy to splash half of that cash burning a hole in Brentford’s pocket.
Maybe we can ask him to take Muric of us as a goodwill gesture. |

Literally EVERY block in the ground has returns / ST trade-ins for Brentford.
And Leicester got all the way down to 5 points.
After a season of so many clashes about ticket availability and priority, how quickly things change!
(Not a dig at anyone, but after so long away, you’d think people would make the most of every last second of Premier League football.)
(Yes, I know, football fans be fickle, gasp!) |

Thread | Nice opening in The Athletic…

“Declan Rice looked over his shoulder; he was wondering what the noise was. It was about a minute after the final whistle, players were milling in the middle of the pitch, Kieran McKenna and Mikel Arteta had been to the officials to shake hands. From there, McKenna moved to the stand named after Sir Bobby Robson and began to salute the many fans still in the stadium.
This had been a sobering 90 minutes for Ipswich Town, a 20th defeat in 33 games, an occasion when the gulf between players bound for a Champions League semi-final and those who rose from League One, and who will soon be back in the Championship, was glaring.
Four-nil did not flatter Arsenal, who, if they needed to score eight, probably could have. Even before Ipswich went down to 10 men in the 32nd minute — Leif Davis shown a straight red card for a feckless foul on Bukayo Saka — Arsenal were 2-0 ahead. Their dominance was complete and almost nonchalant. Ipswich had 25 per cent possession by the end, which was better than the 5 per cent after the first seven minutes.
So it was a long day. And Ipswich’s relegation will surely be confirmed on Saturday away at Newcastle United.
And yet the noise stirring Rice was the sound of Portman Road applauding. The recipients of the applause were McKenna and his players.
Here was a beaten team, all but relegated, with Arsenal fans taunting: “We’ll never play here again,” in the air.
But the collective message was one of unity. Any dissent was inaudible. There are stickers on lampposts in town with McKenna’s name in the shape of certain golden arches, and there seems to be no dilution of Suffolk belief in the 38-year-old Northern Irishman.”

Thread | Why do people enjoy slating the team / manager / Davis so much?

Are they the best in the world in their own career? Or even in the top 1%?
These boys are punching well above their weight. Many of them weren’t ever signed to play at this level (Burgess, Davis, Morsy, Hirst etc), yet have got there from their sheer exceptional over performance.
OF COURSE, they make mistakes. They’re playing the absolute ELITE of world football, who just beat Real Madrid a few days ago.
“Embarrassing”, “shocking”…? Ridiculous. [Post edited 20 Apr 16:20]
