Not too concerned about NIMBYs, the government seem keen to hoy them on the pile with the WASPIs.

Horses for courses. I find it interesting, maybe because I’m an FPL nerd.

The match for me is about having a few beers and feeling part of an atmosphere. If I wanted to watch football I’d stay at home and watch it on the telly. The view from my seat isn’t great for 50% of the game but the lad I sit next to goes radge with me when we score so that’s canny. I would love to get moved into any future singing/standing section.

People slating xG as it doesn’t account for the player are missing the point. You can have elite finishers who will always outperform their xG (eg Son, historically) and shite kickers who fall below the statistical average (Calvert Lewin). Comparing actual goals scored to xG gives you how good a finisher someone is (or how much of a hot streak they are on….Chris Wood). The more data the better, as always with stats. A pelanty is 0.7 or 0.8xg I believe.

‘I’m hearing £250mil but it could be less than that, or nothing at all. Depends really.’

Plus we have Bunce steering us through the injury minefield.

We went for Tonali didn’t we?

They played well, pressed well and finished well but are we going to ignore that their ‘tactics’ for nullifying us offensively amounted to kick, pull and foul Bruno every time he breaks the press. Our entire game flow throws him and the ref allowed them to systematically drag him into the ground. I honestly think it played a huge part in us not getting our game going. Of course Howe would never mention it but I doubt he was happy.

They’ve had a rough couple of months.

Do we know that? Could easily have been more bollocks back then.

Why the fuck is froggy stinking up this thread with his mid table mediocrity bollocks and past glories. Save it for the manure thread. Isak is god.

Third league game this season (for me) following on from Brighton and Wet Spam so hoping the team keep the winning run going and end my losing streak. 3-1 win. Isak with 2 of them.

Just joined up 👍🏻

Still can’t believe Cunha only missed 1 league game for that assault.

Hopefully shenanigans….new contract then a small fee in the summer would be perfect. Particularly if it’s Saudi and they stretch the fee to the limit.

Based on what?

Surely they will pay us the top of end of whatever is PSR compliant?

Nice rest now, 8 days until wolves. He shouldn’t even be on the bench for Bromley if he’s felt anything!

Such a shame they both can’t lose.

Aye it’s pathetic, I’m at the fucking kids soft play.

If he’s going to Saudi I hope we push it (the fee) as far as we can get away with. Need to start taking the piss like Chelsea have.

Not really a nuanced one this. He gave the ball away and cost us a goal the last time he was on the pitch; that’ll be why Howe didn’t bring him on with 1 goal in it.

Bunce will have okayed him starting, these decisions are no longer ‘on Howe’ (when they go wrong).

There’s not the hatred attached to Manure so the pre match nerves aren’t quite as visceral. If we can defend well we’ll have enough. I fancy a few goals, 1-3 away win to set us up for the year.

Froggy’s point assumes Isak has peaked and Hojlund can reach similar levels. Isak isn’t even close to what he could do, we’ve seen flashes; his ceiling is absolutely ridiculous.
