STM

Easy for the keeper says Alan Smith.

Games over already man.

Hands up who's watching match of the day?

Alot of division around here lately. Everton reminding us of what we all have in common.

Aged well Stiffy lad.

I think your point is very much taken. I think Mbeumo is decent like. You've persuaded me.

DCL with a goal and an assist today. Interesting.

Edit: It's like I've been sitting waiting to pounce. Just messing with ya.

Wouldn't be telling people what to do... Pal.

Good talk.

Some goal.

None of this is what you have been saying though. That's what your brain thinks you've been saying but you can't articulate. What youve been saying is "brexit eddie" and "lucky if we stay up this year" and loads of other bullshit. What I've said is measured. Try it.

A couple of separate points I wanted to make too.. 1. On Craig Hope, his writing is sensationalist but I always watch his YouTube videos and he comes across calm and measured and fair. Perhaps that's just me. 2. My reading of the Amanda situation is this: Amanda and Mehrdad didn't know how to run a football club properly. They were wonderful and inspiring etc but the reality is that they left a situation with PSR which would get any other person in a job sacked. Whether it was Eales or not, ultimately the Chairman is the one who will have moved AS and MG on... and of course they could have stayed. I suspect their exit was always going to happen and this merely made it happen quicker. Going into the summer we had no DoF, a manager who had likely been given more power than he should have (and I adore Eddie) and we're coming off the back of a close call with regards to PSR. With this in mind, is it any surprise that we ended up being ultra cautious? Perhaps there has been a power struggle. Hopefully it's been sorted otherwise we know where it ends and hopefully we go into January with a clear vision and plan.

I can show you reports from the same journalists who 6 months ago had no clue about our PSR danger (points deductions), told us we'd be spending 80m+ (Hope) and told us we are after (likely to sign) various players, which didn't arrive. I actually agree. It appears that we did wrongly put our eggs in one basket re Guehi and we failed and we should be rightly criticised. I'm not just prepared to jump on board with a bunch of journalist who have been wrong, then wrong, then wrong a couple more times. You made a point about Howe being a liar in press conferences (which he undoubtedly does) but yesterday's press conference looked genuine to me. He played no politics with it like he did in germany, basically admitted that it was a failure (he could have played a Pardew and thrown a load of bullshit) and seemed genuinely in good spirits about the season. Let's just hope that whatever mistakes that were made, they've learned from them going into the next window. There's an arguement to be made that having our "powder dry" for January could give us momentum after new year but I won't be foolish enough to try and create optimism around that given what's just happened. A poor window doesn't have to be a poor season, as disappointing as it may be.

The same journalists who are now preaching doom were also telling us that they were convinced the Guehi signing was happening. It's up to you whether you believe these cunts or not, but don't cherry pick their stories when it suits what you agree with. If you want a balanced view, don't look at journalists.

You fucking happy clapping cunt.

Meanwhile.... nothing to see here.

Made me a wanker to be fair.

Loads on here would be buzzing man.

Ah, I'm blocked. Probably not even delayed if that cunt is commenting.

Haven't seen anything about it delayed?

If I was a journalist I'm today's presser I'd ask something like this: "Some fans are concerned about the work relationship between you, Paul Mitchell and Darren Eales when it comes to transfers, can you say anything to ease their concerns?" Instead we will get "which is your favourite Aha track?"

To be honest, I think there is room for one journalist to have a fun question. Makes a change from the boring cunts repeating the same questions.

Man United are a fucking shambles man.

Wouldn't put it past Andy Sixsmith.
