If we win the internet will break as journalists try to retrospectively unpatriotic their start of year predictions

After Saturday, any chance of the likes of Arsenal or Chelsea thinking we are a good choice to loan a player to is no longer zero - it’s negative.

So how are we looking? Would anyone from Spurs get into our first XI?

Surely this doesn’t need its own thread, all feels a bit RTG and could have gone in the first team squad thread?

The European Super Cup Final is a dynamic I hadn’t considered

He is the sex

Can’t get Barvey Harnes out of my head since I saw it on here.

we’d probably end up paying 50% of his wages in that deal

Great result but tellingly against a good team which makes me very excited for the season ahead

Completely unacceptable that we are 14th right now

Most of the episode felt like getting ready for when the cameras really started rolling. my main bits of interest were: - Anything with Al Rummayan in - Darren Eales showing some research that the successful clubs have the biggest player wage budgets - but Al Rummayan telling him to not forget the manager. Now compare this to Lee Charnley’s research. - Staveley asking PIF to approve an extra £5m for AG via their head of European investment - and getting denied

Saw Joelinton on a big billboard in Manchester alongside Haaland and Rashford. Shows how far we’ve come

I think there is a clear and obvious strategy this window aiming at consistency of our performances. Barnes improves consistency on the left whilst Tonali and Livramento mean that losing Bruno or Trippier will have less impact on performances.

Chelsea lawyers are watching

Especially when we know Howe actually works to improve players unlike Mourinho or Conte who just use and discard

This is normally the part where we tell jokes about his leg falling off in the medical

It both excites me and unnerves me that going into this season there are only three players - Botman, Schar and Pope that I am confident I know that they will be picked in a specific position whenever fit.

Did ASM ever actually manage 2 goal contributions in a game?

Hope he brought cash

really? I just posted the above as a joke

PAUL DUMMETT

Assume Dummett and Ritchie are starting tomorrow?

Schar is crocked apparently

get over it
