cue City and Chelsea…. Hold my beer

Prediction time…..another quiet summer window and the likes of Palace, Brighton and Brentford will start to change their stance on the limits as they see their business model begin to fall apart. we’re going to see the bigger teams start looking to buy from South America etc rather than wait and pay a premium from a PL club so double whammy in having more competition to buy and a smaller market to sell in. Brighton’s last windfall drops out after next season and I don’t see another £80m duo there atm

Go back to last summer and Karius leaving left us with Pope, Dubs and Gillespie. Given the showings Dubs gave last season most of us would have agreed that our GK department needed some reinforcements. Obviously nobody so that being Ruddy and Vlad but the position needed looking at

No wonder our match day commercials are so low with that competition

It feels like Howe is typically a 'next game' sort of guy but it really would make sense to bring in Miley/Willock for Big Joe here. The City-Forest-Liverpool games are massive after this and Fulham and we could do with him not picking up 2 yellows and missing 2 of them

Oli Bernards right temple

Is there a reason why all stadium tours are unavailable after March? Was hoping to get up either Easter week or late August but all dates to the end of December are unavailable

I think Sky would be more worried with the lack of transfers in that it will result in fewer 'names' being signed from abroad as they have no resale value once they hit 26/27 which makes the league less marketable overall. And then social media takes over and Tik Tok becomes the primary medium for consumption of output

This may be a controversial one but I don't think academy players should be 100% PSR profit. I'd set a sliding scale of say 50 first team appearances and any transfer fee is then offset by the number of games played in the first team below 50 x 1/50 of the fee - if that makes sense? So say Chelsea sell an academy product for £50m who has only made 10 appearances the profit is £50m - £40m. It would never happen is it would hurt the cartel club more than anyone else.

He's even got a ready made song in the 'king of rock and roll'

We need a couple of options up front At 1-2 yesterday our options were throwing on a raw youngster or tweak the midfield. Nothing you could say would change the game going forward. Miley was the only one who you could look at to maybe bring some control there.

Similar to JDT he came within a whisker of scoring on his debut, I do wonder if their stats would have been better had those goals gone in. JDT of course has the Shearer injury in play, but Miggy has the fact he has been played out of position for most of his time here

If we're starting from a position of just about being ok for this season PSR wise then this sale would allow us to bring forward a £30-£40m singing from the summer. One more sale and we're looking at a Mbuemo level signing headroom

For different reasons I'd love it to be Bruno or Murphy. Ideally both and Isla score as well demolish Liverpool 3-0. Actually fuck that, Bruno, Isak and Gordon score before Murphy lashes in a very late winner in a 4-3 score settler

A bit nuts that in the run we've had post Brentford we've 'only' taken 6 points out of Liverpools lead on us. Taken plenty out of Chelsea mind 🫢

Did I hear right that we've won 6 pl games in a row 3 times, 2 of which are under Eddie?

Should keep this going to discuss the actual relegation battle. Shame Leicester lost, would have liked them to bring Everton closer to the shit. At least Ipswich have a gimme tomorrow

I'm not arsed with them winning this one, quite like a bit of pressure being placed on Liverpool to see if they choke.

I'm not advocating for it at all but he fits into the 'is on fire' perfectly

Is the the encore from the Hawk Thua girl?

Swansea away next round please. Purely selfish reasons so I can get to a game, but we'd also get through it without too much bother

Get him on loan, needs the physicality. He's got the tools let's hope he develops them

Yes you can say it's been an easy game to officiate but nice to see a ref get pretty much everything right

Here's me thinking this run out is simply showing that we've moved on from Miggy but he's shown appetite, a bit of half decent harrying and tidy enough feet. Enough for a bottom six club and certainly enough to get a couple of quid from abroad

Will he not be doing the arsenal game?
