You watched that game and your considered opinion is that we need a striker?
Saying we need a scrum half and a wicket keeper would be on a par with that analysis
NBA Europe League is about 2 years out and they will want a London franchise…. I wouldn’t rule it out
No thanks, poor man’s Gaelic football
Some people are never happy !
Under the pitch or instead of the parting?
Don’t be ridiculous for fuck sake. We probably had 95% possession against Tamworth. Hoffenhiem had us pinned in our box for 20 minutes in the second half. They also scored two goals.
We also played the Tamworth game at 50% max. If the players really wanted to turn it on they could’ve anytime.
Hoffenheim in the second half played a tempo and level that Tamworth players will never have.
Getting a massage. Look at the masseuse!
Guess you mean the topless blonde?
You do you fellow!!
The name is ironic isn’t it?? There are no rules? It just “Rules”!!
Used to enjoy watching that nonsense game. Basketball, football, rugby combined with set of extra goal posts than in any other sport.
The only way it could be improved was of 20 kangaroos were released into the pitch each game to fight people and steal the ball.
How drunk were the people who invented that game!!
That's gonna ruffle a few feathers on hereLovely photo

So you’ve seen Fremantle play then? They are true peasants kicking an old pig skin around, more injuries and less success than the mighty spurs. Aerial ping pong my old man called it.
Carlton, now there’s an Aussie rules team that might change your mind.

That's like showing a Joey Barton two footer and caling it example of Premier League football.
FWIW I've played both to a decent level and Australian Rules is absolutely brutal on the body in ways that football just isn't -and its all within the rules!
NBA or NHL, 82 games a season is a heck of a lot, especially when you add in all the travel...America ain't a small country like England. Basketball and hockey players are well within their right to demand fewer games (incl the ones played abroad/NBA) and to have the option of sitting out a game here and there. But the NBA is far worse than the PL when it comes to being obsessed with cash, even if that means players' health being at risk. Adam Silver is rotten.
Absolutely, brother. Definitely things that we can do internally to help the situation.
Care to elaborate?
Ah okay, so let's just make sure players from team X are as fresh/tired as those from team Y. Gotta keep things even, ya know.
Well it would be an example of premier league football!! Spot on. Happens all the time.
Here’s a “specky” just for you anyway. Just as ridiculous!!
Totally get your point, good Sir. But it's always been like that and will always be like that. Didn't use to complain about it before, when we won plenty games.
As Fighting said, gotta look at the way we do things internally, for sure there's room for improvement.
But even if you leave the comparison with US sports aside, I still think Porro & co shouldn't be that shattered and still they should be able to perform at a higher level. The way they're being excused/defended right now, it doesn't sit all that well with me for the reasons I detailed in my original post. Plus, some of the ones having a right pop at me were the same shitting all over the barcodes that time we played them and the pundits said about a zillion times how they were exhausted cause of the CL campaign.
