Colos Short and Curlies

bowyer was found not guilty wasn’t he? Woodgate on the other hand…

Love A-Ha’s version of Crying in the Rain. Morten was great on the masked singer, and who can forget their f bomb filled Radio 1 interviews

Recently it is Bruno's last minute winner against Leicester. Not only a fantastic build and finish, but it felt at that moment that everything was definitely going to be better and the good times actually were here

Best bit of that is that he looks initially like he's going to give a bit of hand shake then almost a 'nar nar nar nar nar' finger to the nose

My main reservation about Gordon is a question on whether he is the right type of player we need now. If our problem is breaking teams down who sit back then a speed merchant isn't the answer, we need a lock picker or a posse of midfielders who can shoot from distance

slightly harsh on Gillespie as he was the one who lost his spot in the first 11 really. totally fair to point out that the front 4/5 misfired second half of the season to a degree but overall we stuttered at a bad time, a red juggernaut came up in the rear mirror and we couldn’t find the right response that make the second ball fall for you etc. all of the games were close in the last 3rd of the season and could have gone either way, the bounce deserted us edit. take 2 of the games against City, Liverpool, Blackburn and Forest and give a one goal swing to us in them then we go into the final game with it in our hands, at which point I reckon we beat Spurs. You were really looking at 3 goals across 5 games that resulted in us coming second

That’s the obvious one but even with the defeat there I reckon if we had held on to beat Blackburn we would have done it

And every disco I get in

Easy way to stop this… Chang the FFP rules to be operating cash less 1/3 of transfer fees (so spread over 3 years) plus 1/3 of transfer income. takes away all the bullshit on spreading over contracts and financial judgments. transparent, factual and fair

Remember what happened the last time we were in talks with Watford for a forward? £60m striker incoming…..

he looks like a member of the Cartoons, them of Witchdoctor fame. and yes you are now going to have oo ee, oo haha, ting tang waller waller Bing bang in your head as you try to sleep. You are most welcome

From the Bruno quotes I reckon he is very close to being available Sunday, was a little tell tale twinkle in the eyes

Had completely forgot that Howe was actually the initial catalyst to the takeover by getting Schteve sacked. He played the (very) long game there!

As he said, fake ITK wannabe

cheeky Jan bid for Pickford? Darlow to Everton, they get relegated

So that means Wood cost us £10m plus a years wages. Looks a much better deal now

That will just be a quirk from the last 6 months of the year. We've seen a number of relatively small but important deals come through recently - the likes of Noon etc which will only really feed into this years revenue where the wage bill for last year will be distorted by the January activity, which no doubt included a number of signing on payments. It will naturally come down as a % this year (unless we go loco in January again) and then the new revenues will kick in. Basically would not be concerned over a single period snap shot here

So ideal result involves injuries to Zaha and Rashford?

Speed, Solano, Robert, dyer, Bellamy and Shearer did help to mask some defensive weaknesses. although Bernard, Hughes, Given weren’t exactly poor in the back 5 edit, and of course Shola

Said it before, but he'd make a cracking manager going with the two big men up top

Its not quite the same though is it? Councils selling land to a company but through a deferred payment scheme with a surrender clause is pretty common place, and earns the council a few quid in interest. My Uni has just completed on such a deal where we took on 10 plots of land back in 2015 and have just completed an onward sale of the last plots to a developer, money goes to the council rather than us but we get a piece of the development. we had to surrender 2 plots back as well last year. Spending 10s of millions of pounds on partly building a stadium on the assumption of investment coming in and with a penalty clause of returning the land to its previous use is a whole different ball game of risk. The only way I see that being viable to the club is if it was cash financed by the owner and any investment money goes straight back to them and not the club

w,w,w,w,w

Shit

move no idea how they do them, I’d be knee planted and awkward forward roll straight off. Willock had his nailed against Chelsea, probably the best one (apart from Burn obv)

Needs to work on his knee slide celebration mind
