Every time we drive up the m6 i tell my Welsh wife that Cumbria is a sanctuary for abused Welsh sheep

With that underwear the swedish lass aint on mother natures painting class

I'm going old school here. I haven't seen a single game that he has been involved in and am now going to avoid any you tube videos so I get to see him completely fresh with no expectations (other than him being the result of some weird splicing experiment with Shearer, Henry, Ronaldo (the real one) and Thomas Brolin).

This aged well

Tap in merchant, stealing my point on it being their record sale tut tut

Would be double their previous record sale. They’ve actually been pretty shit in generating fees. double swoop to involve Merino too much to ask?

What a load of shite! https://www.football365.com/news/opinion-newcastle-man-city-sposrtwashing-derby-ad-premier-league

Arsenals spending has been fairly consistent over the past 4-5 years at £120m to £150m. when you consider that each year rolls on and off the same value of cost for a consistent annual spend the FFP rules are only in jeopardy with a drop in income. Basically their costs are not increasing with the outlay Covid losses take care of the last 2 years of no Champions League but they will need a season of CL income you would have thought in the next year or 2

I’ll see your OCD and raise you a CDO. it’s basically the same thing except the letters are in the right fucking order.

There has been quite an evolution in how we are playing this season, its really not set up for a Wood type at all. Not his fault, he served a purpose and did a decent enough job last season

his team should hold off until the summer. if he can put in performances to even 80% of Sundays 20 times this season he will be worth the new deal

Bramble was infuriating, he was 80% of a class defender who had everything and 20% a brain fart waiting to happen.

2 years at Bookless made me!

With a fair wind it’s challenging top 4 with the way Chelsea have started. probably just out of reach but why not aim high

did we or did they come in after the sales / when the sales were pretty much nailed on? probably 50:50, but we definitely did not go down with a squad that resembled the one that came back up

inundated… how much will you pay us to take him off your hands?

Agreed, but I think there is a good chance that in a year or so we may start seeing the type of chance he pulled wide against Forest going in 4-5 times a season and he will always have a chance of getting a couple of headers. Not implausible that he could become a 10 goal a season midfielder. Just don't give him time to think about what type of shot to make!

They were only one letter out to be fair

IMO that will be where he ends up playing most of his career, and making a pretty good career out of it at the same time

Is Grealish on the right or left for them atm? would expect Trips or Taggs (1980s WWF tag team right there) to give him a little tap for Miggy. Miggy will score the winner as well just for the lols, or maybe Grealish will to run it in

Bottom 3 has a nice look to it this evening

could still do worse as a squad player this year as part of our transition

Four was a decent performance pre Howe

Kinda feel like there are 4/5 away games you expect to get beat in and 4/5 you would expect to win if challenging for Europe. The remaining 10 or so can go either way. Brighton on paper is one of the harder of these 10 and a point is a point gained rather than 2 lost. looking for a performance rather than the result next weekend, then one or 2 additions to make it a solid and decent start to the season

But from 6 YEARS out? That’s got to be pretty low on the xG spectrum
