I am disgusted with what I've been reading here. Can we all just leave salah alone for a while. Seriously. The hate is unfathomable. I'm a proud salah fan regardless of form, regardless of current achievements. I think many of us are. He's been one of the most important. posters the last few years- aye, he's not hitting the highs of previous seasons, but to want him to head off to greener pastures is mildly disrespectful. Give him a chance to pull his game together. In saloe we trust.

Singing your own praises again, eh aoe?

17 Apr 2024 00:15:36
Haven’t seen any hate, just people sad at his obvious loss of form and wondering if it’s an age thing.

That’s not hate, just sadness.

17 Apr 2024 02:36:24
Thank you very much me, I still have one fan :) . In saloe we trust indeed! Kind of enjoy speaking to myself, this is good! I think even Ed1 is one of us now he just won't admit it the funny onion.

Lol I hope you're doing well aoe, how is the new house?

{Ed001's Note - sshhh that's a secret.}

Self praise is the best praise these days. Cheers salah mate- house is great, finally getting to write in peace annd quiet, and until recently all matches I’d watched had us soaring high. No idea how I jinxed us but it certainly happened around the fa cup.

{Ed001's Note - that's what happens when you are happy mate, if life doesn't find a way to ruin it, then your missus will as there is nothing they hate more than their other half being happy!!}

Agree with Ron, haven’t seen any hate, just concern that Mo is in decline, it’s sad to see arguably one of the greatest players the club has ever seen beginning to come to the end of his time with the club. It looks fairly clear that his legs are going as he’s lost that pace and acceleration that would get him past the fullback and he looks a shadow of his former self. To me that’s just time catching up with him. Does not diminish his achievements or his huge contribution to the club. He’s still a legend by some considerable margin and one of the best to ever pull a red shirt, like with any situation the time to part ways has to come eventually and it’s probably now while we stand a chance of attaining a good fee to reinvest. Whoever comes in to replace him has huge shoes to fill.

Reread the message victor and Ron. I was having a laugh. It wasn’t the best bit of wit, but you got to try.

17 Apr 2024 10:17:04
Just did, good effort aoe.

17 Apr 2024 13:44:05
Good one aoe, I must have been living under a record.

17 Apr 2024 13:47:55
Really happy to hear all is well mate, Ed1 is spot on yet again. What do we call ourselves now? SalaoEd1? Haha. Zed as well, the bloody nutter lol. We can't talk can we. Jesus ;) .

Could be worse lads. We could have Naby Keita still at the club, who’s just been suspended until the end of the season for refusing to travel with his team. He was annoyed he wasn’t in the starting 11 despite only playing about 100 minutes since joining them.
What an absolute waste of oxygen.

17 Apr 2024 07:08:56
What a waste of talent, clearly he had the skill to be a good player but mentally just wasn't right.

16 Apr 2024 18:29:58
If you have a spare 45 minutes check out the Trent overlap interview, what an intelligent and articulate well mannered gentleman he is.

Taking notes from the interview I doubt he's going to be a one club wonder like Stevie and will probably join real Madrid before maybe bringing Jude back for a last hurrah.

If he does leave I hope he gets no stick and I can't see it happening for at least 3-5 years but I do think it will happen.

16 Apr 2024 19:19:27
He’ll have no reason to leave if we start bringing in players to help us win the CL and league.

16 Apr 2024 22:35:26
Movement in football is normal so if he moves, he moves ?‍♂️.

17 Apr 2024 10:11:13
Didn't Stevie move to the MLS so he wasn't 1 club man either.

16 Apr 2024 16:48:53
Surely it is no coincidence that Sporting Lisbon will not do any business with us due to tapping up and the move to bring Amorim in as manager. We want ignacio so we have to have Amorim to facilitate the move.

16 Apr 2024 17:51:54
So you are suggesting we are appointing a manager just so we can sign one player?

16 Apr 2024 20:16:58
Absolute nonsense.

16 Apr 2024 12:56:23
I know Alonso has previously said he is staying with Leverkuesen but surely there is always a price that can change his mind. I loved the way FSG aggressively went after Klopp and got him when he was the obvious standout character. Is there a possibility that they will do the same again with Alonso? The alternatives don't look hectic to me.

16 Apr 2024 13:17:29
He’s going to Real Madrid, move on.

16 Apr 2024 15:53:44
Alonso was a world class player 20 years ago.
He’s made enough money to the point where his salary is irrelevant.

He gets to choose where he goes.

16 Apr 2024 16:35:51
You'd be surprised how many rich people can be swayed by more money ?.

16 Apr 2024 16:56:42
Alonso doesn’t strike me as that kind of person Adam.

Notwithstanding the fact that he’d inherit a better squad and bigger transfer funds at Madrid. He’s waiting for the Madrid job for football reasons not avarice.

16 Apr 2024 19:20:50
Klopp was unemployed. When he was in a job we went and got Rodgers from Swansea. I think Alonso may manage us in the future but I think his first destination will be Madrid in 12 months.

16 Apr 2024 22:36:48
I couldn’t give a toss about him anymore and will be very pleased to see Loserkussen bomb out next season and get relegated.

{Ed001's Note - really sad and bitter that Ken. You clearly do give a toss or why would you want them to bomb out and get relegated?}

17 Apr 2024 07:40:53
Worried about Ron personally. He was a ray of positivity and optimism back in the day. He disappeared for a long time and seems to be a different person and super negative.

Hope you’re doing ok mate and that if you’re not, there someone to talk to.

16 Apr 2024 12:11:01
Preparing for end of season heart break, what's your list? Whisky, Guiness, Italian Grappa, German schnaps, Vodka.


All suggestions are welcome.

16 Apr 2024 20:48:02
Personally I'll do a Milner and have a ribena.

16 Apr 2024 11:00:43
Wondering what people think of Thomas Frank as potential option?

16 Apr 2024 14:23:54
I like him as a tactician and think he's been hampered by some really brutal injuries and suspensions this year. When they had their best team last season it's impossible to deny that they were entertaining at the same time as being a very physical team that were not easy to play against.

I just believe that to succeed nowadays you have to almost be a philosopher of the game. Every top manager seems to have a style of play that they are prepared to live and die by. Frank maybe is more of the Mourinho or Conte mould, in that he's a good manager for a one off game if he has time to prepare. Short term success might well come with him and we'd probably have a solid record in the bigger games, but will he imprint an identity onto the team that sets them apart over a 38 game season? I'm not so sure.

Seems a really nice guy though that players would want to play for and not enough is made of how he got Brentford promoted, kept them up comfortably, then looks likely to keep them up again with about 10 senior players fit all year and his best players (Mbuemo and Toney) not playing a game together until April!

16 Apr 2024 16:54:18
Honestly if that’s the best we can do then write off next season and the season after that. Simply not good enough for a team competing at the top.

16 Apr 2024 19:23:26
Think he needs to go win a league title first. Any manager coming in needs to be proven at the top.

17 Apr 2024 09:33:46
Thomas Frank that would be Roy Hodgson signing. Mr Frank is suited to Brentford leave the man where he is happy Please.
