Passionate about CPFC, Mental Health and Mental Health Nursing with a guilty secret about Loose Windscreens
All these EFC fans crying about Dwight McNeil deal falling through, slagging off CPFC, simply betray how much they wanted him gone and to get £20m for him.

CPFC decided against it last minute. That’s business

Get over it

I thought Sorloth was pretty unlucky. I fairly rated him. Had a goal mysteriously disallowed at Bridge. Had it gone in he may have built on it and stayed longer

Ah! Of course. Well done Brett

Will Hughes shooting has to be the most pathetic at the club.

That he made so many pisspoor shots at the CIty Ground continually baiting him belied his supposed experience.

Re JSL... I wonder if the failure of a big move to Toon set him back? It shouldn't be an excuse, but footballers are human too.

Might a fresh start, in a better team (albeit one not currently creating many chances at all) reignite last seasons form?

In the heat of McNeil falling through I totally forgot we'd also signed Guessand on loan.

It made that much of an impression and excited me that much.

Re Dwight McNeil, CPFC interest in him dates back a long way. He was due to be the Wilf Zaha replacement, I think that time Wilf was linked with Everton?

Long time ago.

Maybe they dusted off some old scouting reports from a long disregarded shelf somewhere.

So, before Jørgen Strand Larsen, which CPFC players have we had with an 'O-slash' or 'Slashed O' (as I understand 'ø' is called).

Have we had any before?
February 2, 2026 at 11:32 PM
Agree Tommy
February 2, 2026 at 11:26 PM
Yes but they had seconds thoughts.

I’d rather they did that than make a mistake.
February 2, 2026 at 11:25 PM
Do you think OG holds some responsibility re the lack of creative sparks?

He is a slave to his system & doesn't want mavericks. Was happy to see Ebs sold. Had no patience with Esse, exiled JRS, no time for Franca.

Now I'm not saying any of those are world beaters but they could offer creation.

Ornstein reporting CPFC chose to pull out rather than any fuck ups with paperwork
February 2, 2026 at 10:29 PM
Think it’s two domestic then you can get more abroad
February 2, 2026 at 8:46 PM
What about others of the 12 games without victory when we created naff all chances?
February 2, 2026 at 8:34 PM
I'd have guessed he was 28/29
February 2, 2026 at 7:56 PM
There in lies the question.

JPs goals have been a bit boosted by the pens. W/o pens JP has scored 5 Prem goals.
February 2, 2026 at 7:34 PM
Surprised to see Dwight McNeil is only 26yo.

Seems to have been around ages.

Young enough to have a second wind of form?
February 2, 2026 at 7:27 PM
I was told ages ago that JP's agent is a Paris based lawyer.

He got one of JP's mates off a charge, years ago, & JP made him his agent to thank him.

AFAIK this is still his agent. Not a football agent, & appears clueless on the football world.

Hence JP missteps all along the way?
February 2, 2026 at 6:22 PM
You are totally correct that his agent is a buffoon, who has no knowledge of the football world.
February 2, 2026 at 6:20 PM
A choice of No 9s, you're really spoiling us!
February 2, 2026 at 5:58 PM
I’m sorry, i don’t care about the songs, the desperate attempts to make him him a cult hero, but Uche is pathetic.

He’s on the field about 30 seconds before his first embarrassing dive (one of many in his time).

He’s raw going on useless
February 1, 2026 at 11:39 PM
Smacks of kite flying and not a signing we'd ever be able to make in Jan
February 1, 2026 at 10:42 PM
Marc criticised for his performance at Spurs.

Lucky not to be given an OG

His header was pounced on by the Conor we know & love, & hence punished.
February 1, 2026 at 10:41 PM
There was a brilliant shot of the Palace end today, second half I think: there were too separate people yawning their faces off!
February 1, 2026 at 10:37 PM
But my feelings we'd be better off in Europa than ECL as a result of so many 'worse' sides frustrating us with a low block mean we were unlikely to get very far.

Far better against sides like LFC & Villa, who are 'better' than us, but we beat.
