They may well have but what has also happened to the wage bill etc in that time .

So am I

And WD40.

Do they have to ? I thought providing the agreements on the deal were sorted then stuff like that could be completed after the deadline.

This. Clubs can have spells where things seem to go right and others seem to view it as a blueprint (Southampton bringing youth through, Boro before them, the Brighton system etc) sometimes it's a statistical fluke (Leicester) and even legit systems that work can't stay still.

Do they ? Can't say I've noticed Man Utd and Liverpool do it.

Forest (Mull of Kintyre), Stoke (Delilah), Us (Blaydon races though getting less now for some reason) Sheffield Utd (Annie's song), Mackems (Wise men say) to name a few.

Is the obligation based on games or anything ? Personally I think 15mill is low but it may show how desperate we are to get cash in for other areas.

You post, I post, is that how it works ? I'm not going to check your history but I've no doubt you were shouting week after week that Anderson needed a run of games. Fwiw ln my opinion is that Miley is still a way off, got the technicals but the off the ball is still not there, and a personal peeve, I don't like the way he tackles, it's all foot no body.

I have to, it's not easy for us amateurs when up against you pro license holders.

Beats me why you aren't a premier league coach.

And not take too seriously what anybody else posts (at least in the footy section).

He's not being serious.

Wouldn't say single handed but I get your point.

GGGGGGGGGordon !

Relying on 3yr ago Murphy yeah. Not Murphy of the last year/ 18month.

Yeah, too right, we shouldn't be looking at any talents for the future or squad until we have what we need for the first XI.

You don't think up to 90mill for Mitoma is fishy ? At that rate Murphy is a 75mill player.

Do you not think at times " we were lucky there, got to play better than that in future". You see, I get nervous when we win playing shit because you can rarely keep it up, where as if you play well consistently, creating good chances the wins tend to come. It's just a guide for me, a one that you don't need because you've never said " we were lucky there" or "we were robbed".

So you don't watch games and think "they were all over them and still got beat, they created loads of great chances against one half chance" ? If you hadn't watched our game V PSG away you'd think 1-1, quite even where as they had the majority of the play and created loads of good chances which was reflected in the xG

No because a shot from 3yds out with no keeper rates higher than a 30yd dribbler that the keeper throws his hat on.

It's not like that at all, it just gives you a description of a game that's been played in stat form. Like I've said many times before, we've all had those conversations "how did we lose that when we had etc etc" all xG does is put it in stat form. It can be handy for games you didn't see.

If it's not particular offensive and I can use it as a kind of shorthand then I guess it's OK

Calm down Ken, you Ken you

Is using the term "Ken" Misandrystic ?
