Is it a remix of the one by Disturbed? I quite liked that version

Because they're trying to play like Man Citeh, when they don't have the players or resources to do that. Fans moan about the likes of Moyes and Dyche, but they're just working with what they have, rather than trying to be something they're not.Kennyb41 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 2:06 pm [/b]
Well there you go, and a lesson to be learned, you just can't do that if you go up it has to be managed properly, it takes a while to integrate new players into your set up.
I've been wondering why Burnley have gone so shite, and i don't know how many new players they bought.
Their goalie playing it out is atrocious, and if you mess with your core team way too much you're back to square one trying to build.
It has taken Poch and others an absolute age to try and get it right, Chelsea have been lucky coz they spent Gazillions so there must be some talent there to mould together given time.
We won't have that luxury to spend and will no doubt be bargain hunting and trying to unearth some gems.
Df will need time to integrate them one by one.
To use Connor Roberts as an example now, If we were to introduce Roberts into this current team we'd be ok to play as we are whilst he finds his feet with DJ and Willy and Rodon, it would hardly affect us at all.
If we get promoted we have to hope that the any fixture list is kind enough for our core group to get a foothold in the Prem, then 1 by 1 strengthen and better the team everywhere, starting with your worst position, this is why i feel we are bottom 6 strong enough for the Prem atm on a good day with a full team.
Didn’t really think about it like that
Everton get no choice when to take the punishment for this one, the PL table will be updated to show a 6 point deduction.
I know, was just showing how stupid this is, spend what you want to get in to the top 10 and then just take a 6 point loss, its just not an adequate deterrent- had it been us it would likely have been doubled on appealBarlow Boy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 1:36 pm Everton get no choice when to take the punishment for this one, the PL table will be updated to show a 6 point deduction.
P.S Presumably, they will get more points deductions for the second offence (may even be another 6 points, meaning 12 overall).
No, you’re right, no deterrent whatsoever.
It is almost like they gave them a 10 point deduction when they were doing well and looked to be comfortably okay to not get relegated with a 10 point penalty and then when they realised Everton were so shite that they were in a relegation battle they decided to give them some points back.
Indeed. Get promoted with a united squad, a team that fought for each other and found ways to win. Then gut that team and sign a load of players who are just going there because it is the premiership and likely have release clauses.

Luton went up. Kept the same players who had been at the club, many who had seen darker days, and let them acclimatise. They struggled like f*ck but they have found their feet because they want it. They don't want to go back down, they want to show they are good footballers. They want to give their all because the club means more to them, their teammates are mates and Luton are showing that they might just survive. They have brought players in but done it well. They have identified where they actually needed to strengthen and done it rather than just replacing the whole team.
That is key. Keep what made you good, keep that spirit, that belief and add quality people to it.
