Take it with a huge pinch of salt, as you should anything on the internet, but I was told he’s signed a new deal and it’s just awaiting announcement. We have unsurprisingly taken the 12 month option on Chair as well. |

Respectfully Gaz, if you think their goal was Ashby’s fault I’d wager you don’t know much about football… |

Cifuentes will still be hard thinking about Ashby’s performance. Literally what he’s been dreaming of from a full back since he joined. |

In fairness Gaz, Cifuentes is also on the side of those posters as he has had an issue with Paal from day one and was fully behind getting him gone in the summer. |

Yeah I fully understand why he made the change and of course he’s not a psychic so couldn’t have known how rusty Frey would be.
That said, as mentioned it’s a concern that when he joined us after a few months with little action he moved like he was awaiting a knee replacement, finally seemed to get going with a full pre-season and now again after a month out is moving like he’s wearing Trumps cuban heels. |

I mean of course it’s harsh on Frey who always tries his hardest, but he was moving yesterday like an osteoporosis sufferer and it just allowed Norwich to push their backline up 10 yards as they no longer had to worry about Kolli chasing a bag in the wind and then as you say when Smyth went off they could just come up to the halfway line and setup deckchairs. |

Late to the party but as most say, good response to Swansea and frustrating to concede but it was coming for at least 15 minutes.
Frey for Kolli in retrospect was a bad choice as he’s back to last seasons qualifying for a mobility scooter, and I was thinking Bennie/anyone for Chair at least 10 mins before it happened as he had stopped getting back in. |

Guardiola has spoke publicly about how he was ‘obsessed’ with Phillips in that Bielsa system and how he was horrified once they signed him and he quickly realised the guy couldn’t play in any other system. |

I notice with interest that you can’t actually provide an answer to anything, other than to just blindly insist everything everyone tells you is ‘made up’.
Flat earthers could learn from your persistence. |

At the risk of being a stuck record, it’s a nightmare scenario really. Cifuentes has never rated him and was tacitly calling him out repeatedly last season, asking for players who were ‘brave’, the opposite of Paal who deliberately places himself behind a man so he can’t receive the ball.
The club then allowed local media to run all summer with the fact that they were desperate to get rid of him, only to find nobody else wanted him, and the replacements we were interested in we couldn’t secure.
We now have a LB who really wasn’t much cop in the first place now playing out his contract knowing full well that the club desperately wanted him gone and so unsurprisingly is completely checked out. |

I will say, your insistence that all those close to the club, *plus* Kolli’s literal dad telling you that Nourry was fcking him off to Saudi Arabia is all made up is a fabulous level of commitment to a bit. |

As others have said, the key issue with VAR revolves around offsides and the laughable idea that a nerd in a room with a tv camera 100 yards from the play can pinpoint the exact moment contact is made with the ball, and the millimetre the attacking and defending players ‘active zone’ starts and ends.
They can’t. It’s bullshit and it leads to the farce of players running at 25mph being ruled ‘objectively’ 1mm offside.
VAR works in cricket as they’re not so arrogant as to believe they can say 100% whether a ball will nick the stumps or miss when there is a few mm in it and so they stick with ‘umpires call’
If football just accepted they’re not omnipotent savants and built in onfield call for super tight decisions, life would be much easier. You can still do the bullshit production of pretending you can tell when the pass was made, you still get to play with Microsoft Paint for Beginners, you just accept fallibility. |

The club had to do some irresponsible deals to get Cook & Colback to join.
Same with Andersen and Frey who got extremely good second year options on their side in return for doing 6 months in return for a pack of polo’s. |

Assuming Chair is sold in January, I wouldn’t extend any of the rest. In reality of course, Dunne & Kolli will get extensions and Cook & Colback may well activate their options. |

Not trying to sound negative, just genuinely interested. 15 years or so ago I was dating an American girl and back then the K1 requirement was for a more long term relationship so I could imagine you ending up in the slow line waiting a few years for an answer 😐 |
