Barkley's not good/consistent enough yet to be a starter. Putting him in the same list as Rooney and Lallana is a bit unfair to the lad.

Routledge on the left, come on you know it's the right answer.

Has Routledge learned how to deliver a final ball or pass yet?

Sometimes! Better than Dyer anyway.

Honestly Sterling's a younger, more sexually aggressive Routledge and he's had a good amount of top level football now so he's worth that place on the ferry.

Lukaku's agent says he's been in talks with Spurs over a possible move, he also says he won't be going to Swansea.

He knows he wouldn't be able to compete with Wilfried Bony, same as he knows he can't compete with Chelsea's strike options.

Seeing as how its just a new contract I'd assume its with Chelsea.

Lee Charnley has been made managing director of Newcastle. Glad thats sorted before summer and he's been at the club a long time now so transfers might not take forever if we're lucky

This new guy who worked with all the old guys surely won't be like the old guys.

Hahaha, holy poo poo, I can't believe people voted yes to that, it's basically implied extortion

It would be misleading for them to pose the question as if rejecting the name change would have no other effects.

The reality of the situation is that the financial backing is dependent on becoming The Tigers(tm) in the near future. Regardless of how the results are now being spun, the data is only useful with that implication present.

This might actually be the best possible result. The owners will hopefully be placated a bit by the fan vote, but the name doesn't actually change.

The owners never cared if the fans liked the idea. They just wanted to do it, and will now probably leave at the first opportunity.

People say that Gareth Bale used to influence games from the LB position in League one as a teenager

then again people are Harry Redknap and Bale wasn't actually a wing back

Scoring 40 yard free kicks can be pretty influential.

Full-back is the easiest position on the pitch and most of them are failed wingers.

RB is the shittest position on the pitch

if you were taller and stronger you'd be a CB
if you could use your left foot you'd be a LB
if you could pass better you'd be a CM
if you were faster you'd be a Winger
if you could finish you'd be a striker

flawless logic

I played RB as a kid so this is obviously dead on.

Just watch what happens when the "best right back in England" Kyle Walker tries to play in midfield. It's embarrassing.
