Not sure if you're genuinely asking or about to make a point š. But unfortunately not. Few boys I know are but work has gotten in the way of that. If it was on the Sat I would have taken a trip up for the weekend though. Of course you would. Why does it bother you either way? |

This is interesting. Martinez should have done better for Meeās goal but the narrative that Brentford destroyed him in some sort of homage to 80s Wimbledon might need a revisit.

Unfortunately it seems some players are exempt from criticism therefore all gets piled onto others. That's all the pundits were interested in was focusing on his height being a problem. |

I don't think Martinez is the best fit and would have preferred for the same money if we went for Torres. But Maguire is the real problem. He hasn't been able to form an effective partnership with Lindelof or Varane or Martinez so he is obviously the common denominator.

Seeing as we're desperate there it could be worth a look at. |

I think itās hilarious we havenāt addressed the CDM position, thus every two years weāre having the discussion of āmaybe the CB can play CDMā first it was Blind, then Lindelof, now Martinez. Meanwhile weāre buying a CB almost every summer and the defense is still Swiss cheese!

So weād still be in the same position playing the absolute cunt if a captain each week. |

Unfortunately our stubborn Dutch manager has decided that Frenkie is the only holding midfielder that will possibly do and would rather play McFred than buy anyone else.

Pathetic that Carrehhhhhhhhhh ,et al are piling in on Martinez, remember Pat & Nemanjaās first couple of games? Absolute stinkers, but they came good.
I like the start heās made ,heāll be fine.
Although I canāt speak for the other buggers, although itās lovely to see that the āwalking bad moodā,ātable for 1 sirā has the full support of our beloved owners.
Purely for footballing purposes youāll understand!

What does it say about Varanes fitness if we can't play him when he's fit to make the bench. Have we signed another Baily?, because we can't get him on the pitch |

Itās disrespectful to Brentford for the media to insinuate they approached the game as though Pulis was at the helm. They were miles better than us on the day in every single area. |

Some talk that Ten Hag is considering dropping Maguire against Liverpool and going with Martinez and Varane.
