That's Big Joe starting on Sunday then

A June deal works slightly differently as you only take 1 12th of the annual amortisation so I'm effect get the full £20 million profit this year then £4m cost for the next 5 years

Would love him here, ricks and all. Always preferred a keeper who might drop a clanger but who would also make saves they shouldn't to one who is a real steady eddie. As long as the rocks aren't Titis Bramble in their frequency Seaman over Flowers in other words

They should just merge with Arsenal. Arsenal's tendency to underperform and Spurs being Spurs in one delightful team would be some fun

With VAR that's 3 red cards for Batty on one move

Barton, Watson, Beye 🤣 Joking aside I'd put Trips above him over the course of his career

To be clear the comment wasn't in relation to today. Look at someone like Fergie, he was constantly bringing in a new voice and new ideas to make sure he was keeping the squad ahead of the game. I don't think it's as simple as adding 3 players into the squad to give is another 20 points (which is likely what would be needed to challenge for the title). In fact I think with the current squad another view could well have brought us 5-10 extra points this year

I think he could do with added something to the coaching setup. Its been the same voices since day one, not saying either of JT or GJ should go but I'd like to see an alternative voice to bring some freshness. Could be the tweak to elevate us to a title challenge

Think I'm right now that two wins brings it down to GD Villa can only get 9 and are 3 behind with a massive gd deficit Forest can get 12 and are 3 behind, but if they do that then Chelsea can only get 6. If Chelsea get 9 then Forest can only get 9 as well. So six points means nobody from 5th down could beat our points total.

Europa sealed. 3 ahead of Villa, still feasible can take them out of it next weekend

Business end of the season

Great result in the race for second, keep them occupied for a weekend then deflated the weekend after

looking back on their fixtures I’m not sure how much these signings have given them, the games they’ve won by large you’d have expected them to win with the pre Jan team

One positive, by missing Saturday Big Joe avoided a yellow card and is now safe from a 3 match ban at the start of next season

We'll also be second after beating Chelsea

Not really any different to us binning of Kelly when we got promoted or what happens pretty much every season where the players who get a club up don't feature much/at all in the Premier League

I reckon we confirm top 5 by full time vs Chelsea. No idea and really don't care who else does what when

Nowt wrong with Matalan, Mourinho used to buy his coats from there And Top Man cards ruled when I was a student, so easy to up your limit if you needed some jeans for a Friday night

Don't think we have in the premier league, in any league I'm sure someone posted that it was early 80s

This year's vintage is a little more professional and is getting on with business. 22/23 was a bit more from the heart and passion led. Said it before but you can see it in the difference in goal celebrations, distinct lack of knee slides.

3 goals, up to third, no injuries and a pretty sedated game so easy on the legs. Osula goal and Botman and Howe back. Pretty decent Saturday all things considered.

We want 10!

I guess a living Pope is more popular than a dead one

With one key difference, buying in Jan puts half a year of wages and amortisation in the accounts, buying on June gives 1 month. So selling in June has a much bigger impact on the year than for the buying club, any business we do in June should really be viewed as part of the July/August activity
