  1. As one if the replies says "Strange way to tell your kids they're adopted" Me, I'd have gone for "best do a couple of DNA tests"
  2. Might also have cost us longer term to not wait for the right player and right deal.
  3. Quite probably but then it doesn't matter what he is currently on.
  4. Behold, the heir of htt. tl;Dr
  5. He's unlikely to get that elsewhere unless he goes to the middle east.
  6. From my own limited experience (Milan and Metz) and conversation with those who barely miss a game, the "big ones" aren't as good trips. Metz was better than Milan, Bilbao better than Barce etc. Also I hope when we do go away our support builds a decent reputation, the sort that drew compliments from the likes of Metz, Bilbao and Bourdeaux.
  7. Not just hearing it but I'm sure they never put lines down for Isak at Anfield and on Casemiro in the cup final.

    There very been a few occasions this season when the foul has been given regardless of getting the shot off. Strangely enough both time it's been us it's been played on
  9. He'd probably take one of their places in the XI but not their position on the pitch. If he were to come I'd expect an evolution in style to get the best from him and Isak.
  10. I'm with you on wanting Joelinton back on the left.
  11. And yesterday if not for the professional foul ? Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's had a great start and I only had him pegged as a squad player until the Summer anyway but I do think there's a good player in there.
  12. He did put Wilson through with a good ball and vision v West Ham which left him through on goal and his lack of pace allowed Aguerd to get back at him.
  13. I acknowledge that re the full back but I'd risk it to get the best our of Isak and all season we've played that gamble when pressing that well bet our defending against your forwards. Also I've noticed Brighton sticking it through the middle a bit recently (V Man Utd and one other I can't remember, didn't see today's game) where the centre halves or deep mid slides it on the deck to a forward coming off the centre halves and simply laying it off to one side for an oncoming support player, so simple yet effective. FWIW I thi k Eddie will go 433 as usual anyway.
  14. Edit that, can't leave Willock out. Willock narrow left maybe.
  15. Either Miggy or Murphy on the right. Either Maxi, Isak or Gordon on the left. Personally I'd he tempted to go 4231 with Isak as a 10, Murphy right, Gordon left. Gordon purely for work rate. Anderson might even be a shout. Just can't see us going with either Miggy or Murphy on the left
  16. Because there had been a very poor end to the season and quite a few saw that the tide had turned. Very similar to Sunderlands two seasons finishing 7th.
  17. Finish 3rd in Champs league group and drop into Europa. Wins all round.

    Couldn't help but laugh today when after at least 15 deliberate fouls the first yellow was for a dive.
  19. He said don't quote him.
  20. I'm not bed wetting but I can feel my bladder telling me I might not make it through the night without a run off at some point.
  21. No, not in a competitive match.
  22. Not necessarily CL but just Europe.
  23. Every season. Alternating hosts. When it seemed like we'd be close to getting into Europe next season I started taking more interest in their position should we get Europa, they're in with a chance but it's tight.

    The old days

    Family holiday at Berwick. Talked my dad into getting the bus back for the match. Then bus back after. Was that a Franz Koenen debut ?
