As for Stam, a top defender and yet , for whatever reason, cannot get his team to defend as successfully as they do at home. Presumably tactics do come into it as the defenders are the same players. I think it revolves around the ever-present Gunter in that he has played every game, home and away, ...

There have been about ten times this season when Stam has made a selection which has made me question his judgement. In all but one or two of those, he's got it absolutely right. At this point he could play Kermorgant in goal and I'd have to accept that he was probably right. I always find it odd w...

I know a lot of you divs are so pissed up at games that you don't see the opposition but I thought their centre-back was commanding in the air to the extent that Yann hardly won a challenge. Checked him out last night- he has a bit of a pedigree as an Arsenal youngster but was bought by Cardiff and...

TFF You're aware that "apoplectic" doesn't mean "amused" right?

They were embarrassed.

I must admit I can't understand how people could get so wound up at a handful of paying supporters booing a team who looked so abject and bereft of ideas against a team that had previously gained only 1 point on their travels all seasons. That first half was abysmal and Stam clearly saw that as he ...

Fair enough. It dinarf look like a head butt from where I was sitting!! Very much agree with you HR and Williams does have history. The daft thing was that the kick( for which their player was booked) rather than giving Danny a broken leg ,which he would have us believe, actually served to spur him...

Booing, it happens get over it and the idea from an earlier poster suggesting that the booing might cause Stam to move on is crazy-there is no such thing as a non-booing club and don't forget that Stam played in Italy FFS where crowds are known to do just a bit more than making gentle applause. I do...

I see Mourinho is back to what he does best. Publicly undermining his players. Maybe Shaw's form is suffering because he's being managed by an obnoxious pcunt with dubious man management skills. And Zlatan's being a bit non conmittal about signing a new contract. "I didn't come here to waste t...

Not sure why people are worried about attendances-as we are on our way to the Premier League every game will be sold out and then the receipts for attendances is massively outweighed by the TV money. It might affect the atmosphere a bit but I expect the Rotherham and Wigan games to be nearly sold ou...

I'll go for Moore Ilori Swift Kelly McCleary I have a feeling that the manager (if it is Stam) would have no qualms about culling the squad especially if the owners (whoever they may be) let him have a lot of the £100 million to spend. A few suggestions of who to bring in: Alex McCarthy Trippeir fro...

Ahead of the Merseyside derby this weekend, SSN interviewed Gary McAllister. He mentioned winning the treble. United are the only English side to win the treble. :| But Man Utd themselves were talking about the treble this season before getting knocked out of the FA Cup by your other club so there ...

Chelsea are the best team, Man City have the best players,. I'm not sure I agree with that. I can only think of Silva De Bruyne Aguero that could arguably get in this current Chelsea side. It could be argued that Sterling is now better than Pedro/Willian and Fernandinho better than Matic and a fit ...

I'm going to the game on Sunday. Only my second ever England game, first one being a 2-0 defeat against Chile in 1998. Hopefully it will be a thrilling goalfest. Hopefully you enjoy your day out. I will be watching Doncaster v Plymouth which is a shoot-out for the Div 2 championship and I expect to...

I've never understood the criticism of, bordering on hatred towards, Gunter. I thought he had a good game on Tuesday. In addition to defending well, he looked to get forward as often as possible. There were a good number of occasions when he got forward and was in space on the right, calling for th...

I do think Stam wants his defenders to be defenders first and foremost rather than attackers - creativity etc is meant to come from the midfield this quote from his post-match reaction was also interesting: "We could have done a little bit better and we only conceded chances because we lost th...

Assuming we win the toss. We choose to kick-off and, following the new rule about passing backwards from a kick-off, we then pass the ball amongst ourselves until about the 35 th minute when Shelvey deliberately kicks one of our players out of frustration (hopefully Gunter who then plays no further ...

Tbf if they win every game left in the season i bet they will be pretty pissed at those 2 dropped points. Surely it must be some sort of record if that happens? I highly doubt any other team has come close to winning every single game in a season. Sparta Prague won their Czech regional league four ...

Well done Fine Rain for posting.
Rather than just chanting his name tomorrow could Star perhaps send a recording of that which would surely give him a lift because he would hear, rather than just read, the warmth felt for him by our fans..

Bloody hell. Danny Murphy's commentary tonight has been shocking. Condescending and patronising to Huddersfield, constantly making and laughing at his jokes, and then gives MOTM to a midfielder in a team that lost 5-1 :lol: I quite like it that he gave it to a player from the losing side. On Sunday...
