By Cleff Go To PostFuck that. We need at least two new centre backs.Yeah i know, but i think all the good ones are tied up.
Not to mention he's right that those positions are in more dire need of reinforcement.
By Scum Go To PostLads. Is the EPL transfer window reverting back to the 1st July - 30th Aug this summer?
lol no
17 May - 9 August
By Laboured Go To Postlol no
17 May - 9 August
This is so dumb. Why?
By Ciaran Ashina Go To Postwhy is it dumb to have it earlier? That's always better for the clubs and new acquisitions.Because PL clubs will get desperate at the end of the window, so will have to buy for more and sell for less to foreign leagues, because they still have time to do their business after.

Sill closing the window in August too is not that bad.
By Ciaran Ashina Go To Postfair point.

It would be fine if everyone did it.
By Ciaran Ashina Go To Postwhy is it dumb to have it earlier? That's always better for the clubs and new acquisitions.Not on equal footing with the rest of the leagues like Jesal said but also there is no tangible benefit to being unable to react to an injury or what have you in the few weeks that exist after the start of the season.
I worked out the numbers in the past but most American sports leagues have at least 40% of the regular season to make changes as necessary (MLB has over 50%). The PL now only has 11% (all in January). It’s asinine. They harmed competitive balance on a larger scale and gave the teams nothing in return. They should expand the bench like Serie A.
By Punished Go To PostHow many times did you have to reload your save for those Wood?
if i did that, this wouldnt have happened two seasons earlier
game is just way too easy when you get a good budget.
Have to say, we played a very good first half for the most part. We were on top of everything and really should have scored another goal. Second half was completely different though. Spurs started to get more physical and we were too slow in our passing to relieve the pressure. So it basically became a fight instead of playing football. In defense everyone was in position most of the time ultimately resulting in being able to secure the win here today.
With Son being back next week this tie is far from over though. We will really have to outgrow ourselves again like we could in the first half to make the difference. But first we focus on winning the national cup over here. On sunday we can finally reward ourselves with the season we're having.

First 30 mins, you absolutely controlled the game. De Jong was getting so much time on the ball and was able to pick passes. Once Vertonghen went off and Poch changed to a back 4, they looked more solid but still not really creating anything of note.
By Wahabipapangus Go To PostVery courageous decision by ten Hag to make de Jong that goodIdk I feel like sometimes giving your players stat boosts might backfire since the cooldown time can last up to a week.
Finally got back home. Lolspurs etc. One of my students got 5/108 on the exam (before you start, I can't be blamed for a score if they don't show up or do any of the work).
By domino Go To Postsomehow i missed that vertonghen thing at work. how in the absolute fuck did they let him stay in.WELCOME TO SOCCER YEAAA
By FortuneFaded Go To PostFinally got back home. Lolspurs etc. One of my students got 5/108 on the exam (before you start, I can't be blamed for a score if they don't show up or do any of the work).What did he get the five points for? Writing his name?
I don't understand why people like John Wick and John Wick-like movies.
I'm not saying they're bad or don't serve a purpose, I'm just saying I don't get it.

I had a dream last night that Leicester were 1-0 up against City in the 70th minute; the game finished 5-1 to City.
Seemed accurate

John Wick was a fun fantastical action flick I thought. I quite liked the set pieces and how visceral it all felt. JW 2 not so much
it's one of the last decent action franchises

By Laboured Go To PostWhew. Those are monster stats.
Fucking hell, insane VVD’s tackle statistics. Is Vidic really the closest comparison in that regards?
By Laboured Go To PostWhew. Those are monster stats.Prime Vidic was a sight to behold, I don't neccesarily subscribe to the idea that higher stats for a defender means he's better, could be the complete opposite. Maldini used to say that if you've made a tackle then you already fucked up
Speaking of stats. It's gonna be tight.

Yeah but as that Earlys article showed, things like interceptions are generally down in modern football and not because defenders are suddenly terrible.

Still feels a bit weird to feel a tiny bit unhappy about our goalscoring. If you consider that back in july we'd be happy to just qualify for this tournament in the first place. Now we've won the first leg of the semi finals tie. It's been a crazy season.
