    The ask Zat for a stat thread

    How many Lindstrom's, Small's, Gibson's, Dixon's, Simm's, Dowell's and Cannon's does it take to make a crap Championship side?

    God tier condiments.

    It's not half as dear as people think, especially for some their basic bits. As evidenced by a bottle of ketchup being a £1,

    Well, yeah, you have a point. Sometimes players should be criticised, it doesn't mean criticism can't go over the top though, and just batting away over the top criticism or excusing a clear agenda by effectively saying some fans are too positive or overly optimistic doesn't really wash with me...

    God tier condiments.

    Shout out to M&S ketchup. £1 a bottle and one of the best going, imo.

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    I'm trying to just pretend it's not happening tbh. If it does affect PSR, I'd rather take another deduction than have a fire sale. It didn't finish us off when we were on our knees, with an unfinished stadium and an absentee owner, so bring it on if it comes to that ;)

    G.O.T. Fantasy Premier League 25/26

    Anybody having any issues with this? Forgot my password, as I often do, because I purposefully use ones I won't remember for certain things, knowing it takes all of a minute to get a code sent to an email for a reset. Done all that, 3 times now, won't recognise the code/account even though...

    Groucho's Fact Hunt

    A boring fact, but one I didn't know so therefore found it to be both interesting and surprising: The city of Portsmouth is actually located on an island. The UK's most densely populated island. The island of Portsea.

    They're not the same things though, are they? A fan hyping a player is at worst described as over optimistic. A fan constantly looking to slate players is just being negative and arguably toxic. I certainly know which behaviour is more damaging.

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    Shame. I was looking forward to seeing a silk volley an afferdavit straight in to the face of a burnley lawyer from 35 yards. It's what I go the game for.

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    Didn't the league rule that City's legal costs would not impact their PSR position? Whilst we're at it, can we sue Chelsea for the Martinez 72 point season? Oh, and can we sue the league for giving us illegal advice on the Iceland thing? 'Your loss' they said. Should have just terminated his...

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    I notice Chelsea didn't give up their place in the Club World Cup. Y'know, seeing as they qualified for that by winning CL under the previous owner and during the period they are alleged to have been cheating in.

    Beeb noticing Everton…..veiled hit piece or genuine reporting….

    Not reading it tbh. Is it anything to do with that Giulia Bould? Used to think she was alright until I read a couple of bits by her on the BBC recently. Firstly, she reckons Seamus is still Moyes preferred right back, and secondly, regarding Pickford, she stated that ( slightly paraphrasing)...

    2025/26 Beto

    But everybody knows that Beto never really got much of a look in for a season and a half. So saying he's scored 12 in 2 seasons is a bit unfair and not considering all the facts. You know how many actual games his total Premier League minutes equate to? Roughly 29.5 games and that's not...

    2025/26 David Moyes

    But I'm not absolving anybody of anything. It was one game. I judge managers over a longer period than that. It won't be our last bad performance of the season, that's for sure. It's just what happens if you're not a top, top team. It becomes a concern when it's happening more often than not...

    2025/26 David Moyes

    It's pretty obvious what happened there Dave. We did what a lot of clubs would do in a game like that; you go out, you do nothing silly early doors, and try and take the sting out of the fans and players flying out the traps. We weathered the storm, but then just couldn't get going ourselves. It...

    2025/26 Jack Grealish

    I had my doubts about him. Not so much his ability, more his hunger and desire. He looks like he's enjoying his football though, and long may it continue. What a player.

    2025/26 Harrison Armstrong

    ... And he's been training with the first team for the last couple of months anyway. This move gives him the opportunity to showcase any improvements he's made during that time.

    Transfer Rumour Tomas Soucek

    Yes, and for me he's been driving from midfield. It's more like a hybrid 8/10 role than a 10 who plays off the striker.

    Transfer Rumour Tomas Soucek

    Not really. KDH hasn't been playing off the striker, he's much more involved in midfield.
