Remember when Man United were winning the league in the early 2000s after spending things like a then absolutely unprecedented 30 million quid on a defender?

What the actual fuck is that? Surely some kind of agent scam? 75 million quid for someone who isn't Messi or Ronaldo?

Beat Huddersfield 2-0 at home.

Merry Christmas folks

Missing this to go to a wedding of two people I don't know. Never mind, ey.

Massive 3 points. Are we 14th?!

Wasn't a pen, contact outside the area.

When's Adam Johnson day? Your 15th birthday presumably?

Does that mean if Spurs sell Sissoko we have to pay it again?

We do this a lot, and it's tied in with something else, where our players seem to need so much fucking time on the ball to do anything, especially in the box. And you just don't get that amount of time in the premier league. So many times it should have just been a quick layoff or a first time shot and instead it's stop the ball, look down at your feet, touch, touch, protect the ball, try to turn, touch, tackled, lost it. I'm assuming it's a confidence thing where they're not convinced of their ability to control it first time without getting into a better position, controlling it, getting on their favoured foot or whatever. But given the quality of our squad perhaps that's a valid concern.

It was actually met with one of the biggest cheers of that period. Not sure if it was ironic cheers because Joselu was coming on, or genuine cheers because Diame was going off. Or a mix of both

There is no team in the league I feel confident we can get a result out of is the problem. It's not just a matter of waiting for some better fixtures.

Thread subject change to Title-o-meter?

Was was the dad called in the Krankies?

Does that deserve a title change? Or is that jinxing it?

Supporters kept warm by "fan heaters" is an ambiguous sentence.

She isn't? Damn, hopes dashed as quickly as they were raised.

I'm sure he was mortal, but 12 beers and 6 ciders, before a 3pm game? Chinny reckon.
