SEMTEX

I'm sure had we signed those players they all would have cost twice as much anyway, given the ol' Saudi tax.

Probably worth remembering we only have 2 league games this month (city and villa), so I can't imagine we're going to be desperate to pay over the odds to get anyone in early, as much as it would be preferable to do so. I doubt we'll do much, but if we do, I reckon it'll be late.

Seems like a ready made Howe replacement iyam

Isaks arms count, Gomez’s arms don’t. Simple.

The gaul of them booing the ref after that half

Was surprised how small they seem as a team. Used to watching our man mountains. Was a bog standard middle of the row champo match, that. Preston looked talentless, Sunderland looked like they had a few half decent players but nowt noteworthy.

Mostly an American pet hate here, but games being on a different channel to the build up show. I inevitably watch ten minutes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows rather than the first ten minutes of the game. Now you could make the point that I’m an idiot, which can’t be refuted, but it’s my pet hate and I’m sticking with it.

he’d be their star player

They haven't kept a clean sheet all season. We're gonna smash em. Almiron hatty.

Think that's definitely an element. Poor communication/cohesion + indecision.

burn / botman / lascelles / liv. Job done. depending upon INJs. Maybe Schar will be back.

The system and the thread bare backs-to-the-wall situation we’re in requires complete discipline and zero mistakes. Right now he is not capable of that.

IMO our best choice of back four doesn’t include him right now.

NKUNKU IS RISEN

I think for once it may be beneficial being overseas on this. Everything I've ordered has come quickly and sans issues. ... My guess is they use a third party to fulfill those orders.

your mam must be tiny

Absolutely should have played a team of regens vs spurs. Going out with a whimper.

It did. For the first ten minutes. *delia smith gif*

Says a lot when everyone is chuffed at the bench even though there are 5 empty seats on it

Wouldn't hold your breath on that one like We've got 7 games in the next 24 days, gonna be a bloodbath.
