Spot on. I was pleased when Alan Shearer made that exact point during the interview with Pep. They have a huge squad of expensive talent - use the depth. Doku (£50m) and Dias (£60m) came on for them yesterday, Kovacic was on the bench. I find him bleating on about the number of games highly irritating and rather distasteful tbh.

An ironic post after stating insult merchants are not welcome. lol

It was a close run thing between the 2 of them…ahaha I’d like to see the pass success rates of the two of them - all I remember from the second half was Onel either ‘passing’ the ball off the pitch or to a Watford player… Admittedly I have tried to delete most of the second half from memory.

Onel was truly woeful. You can never say he’s not giving his all, but he had an absolute stinker… Not that anyone covered themselves in glory…he was just glaringly bad.

I think the reality is, teams / players get found out. If Pep was in charge here, we might be doing better, but certainly wouldn’t be setting the league on fire.

No, it’s shanter. If I’ve learnt one thing from following Norwich over the years, is that it’s prudent to never celebrate early…it can often bite you in the ****. Let’s hope this is the case with this brain dead chav. The fact that he is only on loan there makes this pretty bizarre tbh

I can’t believe he’s only 33!

Thanks for reinforcing my original point pal. The definition of vaccine was changed from ‘providing immunity’ to ‘providing protection’ from a specific disease. The decision whether to have the ‘vaccine’ or not is a personal choice….I’m happy with my choice, as you appear to be with yours.

I’m pretty sure when I had a yellow fever vaccine it prevented me from contracting said infection and prevented me from spreading the infection to other countries… But you are clearly an expert, so feel free to correct me

I wouldn’t waste your time, why would you know more about the culture and ways of life in the Middle East, than someone who gobbles up whatever propaganda the media in the UK provides?! It’s probably the same people who queued up for the vaccine and are now catching Covid…lucky that they changed the definition of ‘vaccine’ in 2022.

I couldn’t agree more. Anyone who’s played (any standard!) football in their life will realise it’s pretty difficult to control header when the ball is fizzed at you… He’d have actually been better trying to ‘chest it in’…but tbf to Idah he didn’t have much time to react. I am no Idah lover…but this is not a ‘how did he miss that?’ chance!

As they beat Wolves, who subsequently beat Man City, they are basically the best team in England right now.

Insipid stuff so far….yawn

Don’t forget the positive noise, views and opinions of the potential future success of Springett and Hwang…you love to see it

Who knows, is my honest answer. My gripe was people suggesting he is garbage. I’m not disputing that he is not Sargent mark 2, he is clearly a different kind of player. It is worth pointing out that Sargent was playing with Barnes…who, I’m sure you will agree, offers a lot more in terms of support play, than Idah. His goal scoring record for Bordeaux was not prolific, but was pretty decent - so clearly has something to offer.

Nice deflection - I’m glad you can see that your first post was verging on ridiculous. As I said in my first post, he might well turn out to be a dud, but judging him based on 3 cameo appearances is comical.

Hahahaha So you’re saying that after we signed him for £8mill, to play in the EPL, that was your instinctive reaction? Have a day off.

What was your verdict on Sargent after 50 mins? Personally I thought he looked like he’d never played football before.

Lol. I find it amusing that people can see him play for circa 100 mins and know he is garbage. He might well be, but give him a chance FFS. Admittedly, football is completely different to a ‘normal’ profession, but imagine if you went to a new job and your performance assessed after 100 mins…a review on whether you were fully up to speed with all systems and processes!! Laughable

Scotland were pretty average / verging on sh1te. Their fans were brilliant though - did anyone else hear the rendition of ‘Boogie Woogie’ at HT? Class! The atmosphere at Wembley is embarrassing in comparison.

I can remember David Strikavka…if this rumour is true, let’s hope he is as good as him… lmfao

I posted about Barnes in another thread, couldn’t quite bring myself to compare him to Holt, but he has time. He must be horrible to play against - constantly on the move, harassing, niggling and winding up the opposition with verbals. I’m old skool and I love to see it! He’s exactly the kind of player we needed - he’s vocal and sets the tone for everyone else.
