Is it my imagination or is there ALWAYS nine minutes of added time when we play? I went to the away fixture at Brighton, that was nine minutes too. Ridiculous in this game. Very few stoppages.

Fabulous work from McNeil!!!

Exactly what we needed.

GANA!!!!

Allardyce had a better squad at his disposal though, wouldn't you say?

Nope, because they are taking £80k per week each and giving nothing in return. Get rid of both at the first opportunity and trim the wage bill.

If those eight points hadn't been deducted, this conversation wouldn't even be happening. We'd be in 14th place, on 35 points, with seven games left to play. Now it's very correct to point out we AREN'T in that position, because the points HAVE been deducted. But the points deduction is not...

I do see your point and generally the maths works. I don't agree however that just because we've only used a core of 17 players this year that we should be aiming to have a small squad in future. Obviously there has to be a balancing act though - no point padding out the squad with older players...

I can see why people roll their eyes about this plan - the likelihood of getting all of these transfers done within our financial constraints is close to zero. I do agree with Zat's general concept though. We have too many players on huge wages who make marginal contributions at most, and the...

The remaining fixtures include every team currently below us in the table so there's every chance of staying up. A win at Bournemouth isn't VITAL, but it would certainly be a very welcome boost to morale. 2-1 to us. Doucs and DCL to score.

He's done nothing to suggest that in the last three years. The best ability is availability, and this lad is unwilling/ unable to play. He's not available. We pay him £100k per week and he doesn't want to play. We simply cannot pay another penny to him just on the basis of HOPING he might...

Au contraire. A few minutes digging through his stats on Transfermarkt indicates he hasn't performed as a footballer since 2020. 19/20 (Spurs) 38 appearances 9 goals 6 assists 2772 minutes 20/21 (Spurs) 29 apps 3 g 5a 1355 mins - managed a full 90 mins ONCE in 29 games. 21/22 (Spurs) 18 apps...

He's had a few million in wages. That's too much by itself.

This thread is simply incredible. How on Earth could anyone possibly even contemplate offering Dele Alli a new contract? The sooner his contract expires, the sooner we stop paying £100k per week to someone who doesn't want to play football.

Excellent point, well made.
