Could not agree more with your assessment of the Baah "scandal." Absolutely brilliant. Pompey fans had been giving large for the entire game and could not have deserved that more! I was there. Made my day! Pure theatre. You oooorns!
Absolutely no doubt Corberan is an outstanding manager. He turned the club around in the face of significant financial issues, and didn't sign some of the players brought in during the summer.
Stoke were a bit mank yesterday, true. But losing to Leeds 0-2 on their own patch isn't really a bad result. The blueprint to stop Leeds when they travel is to shut up shop and watch Leeds to struggle. You nab a draw or sneak a win (Leeds have lost only 3 times this season, all 0-1). Problem is, when Leeds go in front, there is no way to adjust the plan as the more open you get means Leeds will score more. So, in terms of offering nothing, once a team goes behind, it's pretty much just damage limitation. So the result wasn't actually bad in that sense. If they came out on the front foot to attack Leeds with their team it would have eded up 0-4. Agree with your take on Luton. What on earth is happening? Was last year in the Prem some weird alignment of parameters that meant they didn't end the season with 3 points. So odd. Plymouth/Rooney: caveat for Rooney being that he ended up with a 16 year old on the pitch. He is struggling for warm bodies. Not sure if he had bodies what would happen. No matter what, Whittaker being out a lot is a big loss for any Championship side. -BK

Slavan Bilic took us up automatically and hes not even mentioned in the conversation of best managers in recent history of the club? Corberan’s style of football far too negative to try and get out of the division
As a stoke fan we are down this year , if we didn't have a good keeper we would be bottom We need a manager not a coach & we need experiance in the board room not walters , Owners care but have opted use there heart not there heads with money spent . We require going into league one for the rebuild to really happen , wolves , saints , fox's , leeds , sunderland , ipswich , sheff u , all prove league one is the rebuild league for when you become stale in the championship on an off the pitch
In the words of Simon Jordan context on the Watford game is needed. I was probably witness to the most shocking refereeing performance I have ever seen pompey fans all wound up from it probably that sort of thing from Baah was gonna really stoke things up. Watford fans will clearly disagree baah for me should of been walking before full time. Swung a fist in the challenge on moxon (moxon gets booked??) He left his studs in on Ritchie, could of walked then, and guys I'm assuming you have to have seen that penalty decision?? Given by the lino (who reported our fans racially abused him in a previous match so I question why he's allowed to officiate our games). The referee was pathetic and also for some of the Watford decisions. Its 2 days on and I'm still raging. This will be remembered I imagine at fratton Park for the return fixture
I watched last week and again this week, the bloke is the glasses really hasn’t a clue and blags his way through the podcast, does he even watch the games? His views are total bollox and I can see why the beard guy disagrees with him a lot.
I think you need to look into what Baah did on the pitch like trying to headbutt Owen Moxon, and injurying a Pompey player with a nasty tackle. Both times getting away with it because of an inept ref. This is why Baah got the abuse he did.
Corberan going to Valencia is about the best Christmas present I could have imagined for those of us chasing those final couple of playoff spots.

As a Boro fan to sum us up this season I'd describe us as a Porche up front but Robin reliant at the back.
The Cardiff Oxford match a sort of portent by the Kaiser Chiefs with their' 'I Predict a 'Rowett' '',
Absolutely no doubt Corberan is an outstanding manager. He turned the club around in the face of significant financial issues, and didn't sign some of the players brought in during the summer.
Looking forward to the next round of reviews when Derby sit back and get smashed and wonder if we get the same criticism as Stoke got on that review

Guys, does the bonus content include a review of the fixtures that don't make the free youtube cut? I'm thinking of signing up if that is the case.

I'm kinda suprised they let him leave before playing us
If Valencia met his buy out clause there isn't anything West Brom can do.
Justin try and get some Charisma on board, you're bloody dier to listen to.
Timestamps would be good, can't say I'm bothered about listening to Stoke and Cardiff
Rooney available soon.😅😅😅no I like the baggies k.r.o

Nonsense mate. Sour grapes. Yellows!
