    The excuse people used to give that Shithead Vurnon Anita is that he was tidy so that is a big alarm bell to be honest. still early days but we don’t need players whose main attribute is tidy.
  3. unless it’s to praise them for doing something great.

    Obafemi Martins

    Thought he died of old age when I saw the bump
  5. https://jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/Gabor this guy was in Azerbaijan in the World is Not Enough
  6. Shame we couldn’t get a 4th goal last night as it would have meant that PSG couldn’t really draw against us and will have to attack us which would have been better for us.
  7. Regardless of how this pans out I think that it is great that we have been able to take our golden defending champions badge right into the deep end of the tournament.

    Manquillo is available on a free. Not the best but can do a job.
  9. It would be a bad decision to bring him back, his body is not physically up to Howe’s training demands and he will get injured

    Tonight is for you KK. Always in our hearts hope you get better soon!
  11. This has been a disgrace really the last 18 months or so. They make a whole song and dance about getting Ashworth making a significant compensation payment. They then duck the chance to sack Ten Hag only to sack him a few months later any how. They then decide to appoint Amorim as manager who Ashworth thinks will not be a good formation fit. Because Ashworth did not back the appointment they sack him. Amorim refuses to adapt formation even though the players aren’t suitable for it. Lead them to worst league performance in living memory. They then suck the chance to replace him in the summer. Provide basic improvement to squad in summer. Team actually show some green shoots of looking a bit better. They then refuse to back recruitment that will allow Amorim to keep improving the team. Tell him to change system. Amorim goes to the press. Gets sacked. This is fucked up. Small time. Amateur. In the way to complete collapse. Bankruptcy. League Two. Fucking love it!
  12. I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king.

    I doubt we will sign anyone of note, or if we do they won’t impact this season.
  15. Howe will play Ruddy or Gillespie ahead of him. It doesn’t matter how good he is, he was signed by Mitchell and that is all that matters
  16. I’m starting to think Ashley is not genuinely bidding for these teams, it is all a PR exercise.
  17. Statement released by Ashley’s law firm: This was a triumph I'm making a note here; "Huge success" It's hard to overstate My satisfaction Sports Direct: We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead But there's no sense crying Over every mistake You just keep on trying Till you run out of cake And the science gets done And you make a neat gun For the people who are Still alive I'm not even angry I'm being so sincere right now Even though you broke my heart, And killed me And tore me to pieces And threw every piece into a fire As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you Now, these points of data Make a beautiful line And we're out of beta We're releasing on time So I'm GLaD I got burned Think of all the things we learned- For the people who are Still alive Go ahead and leave me I think I'd prefer to stay inside Maybe you'll find someone else To help you? Maybe Kevin Keegan? That was a joke *Haha - Fat Chance* Anyway this cake is great It's so delicious and moist Look at me: still talking When there's science to do When I look out there, It makes me GLaD I'm not you I've experiments to run There is research to be done On the people who are Still alive And believe me I am Still alive I'm doing science and I'm Still alive I feel fantastic and I'm Still alive While you're dying I'll be Still alive And when you're dead I will be Still alive Still alive

    Vurnon Anita

    Interview on club website he is so up his own arse
  19. Don’t bring Targett back he is very injury prone and his body struggles with Howe’s requirements for intensity. instead look at the loan market if a permanent signing can’t be sourced
  20. Also there was an article in the Athletic it was about Matt Ritchie but it suggested if I read it right that Tindall and Purches are still commuting from Bournemouth. if true these two need to move up here permanently or move on.
  21. Howe will always be loved and a legend but the ownership are going to have to make a call in the next two years about whether he will take us to 2030. There are now three really fundamental things that are sticking out for me: 1) he has repeatedly ducked big decisions to sell players. Wilson should have been sold and replaced during the Tonali window. Willock and Almiron too whilst their stock was at their highest. Gordon should have been shipped at the start of this window and used the money to reinvest further. Even a lesser extent Dummett and Lascelles not letting them go in favour of youth. 2) there seems to be clash between training focused on improving players and teams vs him not able to coach the players due to fixture pileup. 3) Form has been poor actually since he was ill. Has he lost that 5% of energy that made him truly great? I do think he would benefit from a mentor, a really top level manager no longer in the game who he can discuss some of these challenges with in a private setting. The ideal would have been Fergie, Rafa might have been another choice had he not taken a job elsewhere. with hindsight I also think we should have rested Howe post-illness until the summer and brought Rafa in for a few months.
