would be a restriction of trade on the individual if you didn’t allow people without a contract a route to get one. one of the many legalities of the Bosman ruling and subsequent transfer windows etc

Football fans are a funny lot. I reckon the majority are either neutral on the issue or in favour of abolishing the monarchy yet if the games go ahead at the weekend it will be full on partisan celebration through renditions of the national anthem. Let the games go ahead, celebrate her life and passing then pull next weeks fixtures (if for nothing else there won't be the policing available in London). It's not a difficult decision

last thing I need right now is another day off work!

She had Izak as first goal scorer in her acca

If Anderson gets his foot in and makes the third midfield spot his own then I can see any money in Jan going on a wide forward. Barring a continued injury crisis though I don't seem much happening in January at all

If ASM isn’t back but Bruno and Wilson are I’d go 3-5-2 for this one, double Brazilian and then either Williock or Miggy furthest forward, maybe even go for it with Anderson

Chelsea at home is the last game before the World Cup. am I doing this right in that we should be getting 18 points between now and then, so an opportunity to gain up to 12 on what’s required?

Gained a point vs City and dropped 2 yesterday against what we would expect to get. 1 point down, can be made up next week with a win (can’t wait to see the knots VAR gets into trying to screw us both). need Bruno and ASM back sharpish

I’m not sure it would. Stopped game, red card, drop ball isn’t it? depends how far away the ball is mind, if it’s just been cleared then possibly it’s a foul in an active area so penalty, if it’s totally no where near the active play then drop ball

Frasers legs are no doubt feeling Weds with limited football in them before hand, possibly see Anderson start out wide?

You may as well bold Joelinton as well. From the ghost up front to the fucking brick wall in midfield is as good as a replacement signing as its a completely different position being filled

Got to be worth a Miggy any time goal scorer bet for this one

15 points before Manu I reckon. West Ham may be a tad optimistic but with the way we played tonight and against City it should definitely be the target

6 in 90 mins

Fancy us from a corner tonight (if we manage to get one!)

What’s with the 6:45 cut off? Surely we could make him as a sub or even in the first 11 and if the clearance doesn’t come in we simply lose a sub?

Klopp will probably complain how unfair it is that they’ve had an extra 24 hours than us between games meaning they have lost a little bit of match sharpness

Any excuse to roll this out

would he not be the Shelvey upgrade, the legs of Bruno and Joe would compensate for a more technical sitter

Lose to Liverpool, beat palace and we’re on 10 points from 6. puts us bang in the target for 5-7 based on the last few years. And we’ll have 2 of the hardest 4 games (on paper) out of the way.

Bit of a lazy renumbering from Isaac to Isak

I don’t think it’s finance one window to the next but appetite is likely to be the driver. they could pay the £60m this year and then drop next summers kitty accordingly but until Champions League becomes a realistic aim the Arsenal model of consistent spend each year is more likely.

Krul? OK Old and not very old but would be happy with him as number 2
