  1. Riding the hot hand and pretty much just copying gdm's bets.

    Don't disagree with that accept to caveat that I think the sad reality is, for us to to compete for trophies on a regular basis, the new owner would have to be a proper Mr or Mrs Moneybags sort. It's just the way football is now. I don't see a Mr or Mrs Moneybags owner wanting a project from the Championship/League One. They would be the only ones who could and might pay Ashley his extortionate price. It's a long long long shot in a grim footballing world IMO. The other alternative being, we tumble down the leagues, Ashley finally sells, a decent owner with middling resources gets us back up, then sells to a Mr and Mrs Moneybags. A nice 10-15 year plan We're all kinda fucked I guess.

    Good post. Inclined to agree that we have a very definite hard ceiling for the club with Ashley at the helm, but I wouldn't trade places because: a) there is nothing of substance to suggest they've now got a materially better owner b) by being where we are, we're a more marketable asset for any future prospective owners who we would be happy with
  4. I don't think anyone in the world was raised to put much as stock in giving/not giving a cake to someone as Yaya Youre.
  5. Looking at the results going back a few months, there's always been a 0-0 or a 1-0 in a set of five or so fixtures. 6/1 feels about right.
  6. I actually read that one. My favourite bit was when HTT insulted all yo mommas.
  7. Love them replaying the Bale goal over and over in front of Stevie G :lol:
  8. Thing is though, they'd have lost without both errors anyway. Once Salah got injured they were gone.
  9. I put my free £25 on 3-1. To Liverpool.
  10. Must be that much worse to be a Karius-type in the age of social media. Feel bad for him and his family already.
  11. It bothers me because he is clearly technically gifted, but he's so ineffective.
  12. Meh. Bale's goal was a quality bit of improvisation, but I don't really feel like this is a contest tbh. The Salah injury has really killed the intrigue IMO.
  13. I owe his Mam money. She's not getting it.
  14. I feel like someone owes Semtex money. I'm gonna say Branko.
  15. Quite impressive when Liverpool go nuts on their pressing. Like watching 11 Rafael Nadals flying about.
