    Toe Punt square boot

    Pretty sure these are intended for serious five aside players, toe punting is common place in five aside as it gives you the ability to catch the keeper off guard.

    The Secret Footballer

    I know for a fact it is him mate, he has freely admitted that some of his stories aren't necessarily about him, even if he has written that they are.

    Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

    Just confirmed Mitrovic so that seems unlikely.

    Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

    Can't be fucked to read back through all this shite, so this may have been said already but I have a sneaky suspicion Charlie Austin might end up at the Lane next season. Reasoning behind that is that it has all gone quiet with regard to his move to Neewastle and I suspect that might be...

    U-18/U-21/Loans/Development Squad (2011-2018)

    Agreed but it is also the tune for Azzaoui's chant.

    Anyone else notice the music they play after the goals?

    But also proving very effective at motivating players who are committed to the cause. The likes of Kaboul, Ade, Capoue etc. are lost causes, why waste time on them.

    It is irrelevant how much impact they had prior to his arrival, the fact is he had players like that at his disposal. Players who even at their worst were too good to be languishing bottom of the league.

    I didn't say they were but they were and are class players, just needed a bit of motivation. Of course Eriksen has more goals in him, he typically plays further forward than Modric does.

    Modric vs Eriksen is a silly argument, they are very different players. The fact that the fans wanted players out is irrelevant is doesn't detract from the fact they were both class.

    The original point was that Redknapp had an instant impact, of course he fucking did! He had a group of players that were far too good to be where they were in the table, my Great Grandma could've had an impact and she had been dead 10 years.

    The point is that they did, so the quality was there, we also had four strikers all capable of scoring goals in the Premier League, we had Ledley who played nearly all the games in the league that season partnered by Woodgate or Dawson (who back then wasn't a donkey). Then there was an Aaron...

    And there is no reason to suggest that Poch won't continue for that time period as well. As I said Redknapp's first season was one of the easiest jobs in management, he had some unbelievable players and all he had to do was take them from rock bottom to a respectable finish.

    No you're right we were shit against City at the weekend.

    It's a lot harder to go from a side performing well to a side performing extremely well than it is to go from a team who is massively underachieving to a team that is playing how they should. Redknapp would've done well not to have had an instant positive impact when he took over.

    The one thing I will say about Sherwood's tenure at Villa is that they were massively underachieving when he arrived there and all he has really done is bring them back up to the kind of level they should be at. As you say he is a great motivator and that is what he has done at Villa he has...

    First off out of the players you mentioned there, I think only Stambouli and Lennon should even be considered for a place in the first team. Sometimes other factors are taken into consideration aside from a players ability. The likes of Capoue, Kaboul and Adebayor clearly have some kind of...

    Out of those players, who do you actually think should be in and around the first team on a regular basis? I reckon there are probably three there that I would be happy to see on the team sheet. Also you have gone on about rotation being absolutely essential, pretty sure Chelsea have just won...
