Colos Short and Curlies

His game isn't based on pace so you would expect that he can keep to his level for at least another 2 years

Andos reaction to BDR going down was brilliant, only to be topped off by the realisation that a penalty was going to be given. he really is a local gem (yes I know he is Irish but you know what I mean here)

And Oba still claims to be celebrating his 24th birthday this year

you have to be talking about Klopp as well. unpikely to be sacked but I’d say at least a 50% chance he’s not there fist game of next season

2 draws surely? Put an extra 2 points between us and those below and gain 2 on the two above us

Per mile drink walking is more dangerous than drink driving. at the end of the day he’s done something stupid and thankfully he’s getting a lesson with no harm being done.

Or Isak wide first half, Maxi wide second half and Isak moving into the centre with Wilson coming off. Options options options!

He'll lose his license, pay a fine. Howe is likely to drop him on Sunday and you know with Howe that if the midfield trio perform then he'll have a fight to get his place back. Couple that with some work with the Foundation and that will be the matter dealt with

A surprisingly important weekend this one with the possibility of us gaining 2 points on both Manchester and North London clubs if we can pick up the 3 points and the derbies end in draws. If things go badly then we drop behind Manu and Spurs with Fulham right on our heels. Can't see big Joe start so its a midfield three of Longstaff, Little Joe and Bruno with Miggy and ASM wide (Think Isak will be a sub but you never know). Lot of pressure on Little Joe and BDB down the left to stop crosses in for Mitro. Think we'll have too much, close first half (1-0) and then we'll pull away last 20-25 with 2 more goals.

Can we include Shearer moving from failed goalkeeper to world class striker?

Everton was a loan with option to buy wasn't it?

TBF Bale was Jamal Lewis before he became Gareth Bale so its not impossible

the player or the club hehe stings a bit that we bought Wood to directly strengthen a rival for top 4 though

I can see the intensity remaining as long as we are in contention for something, there’s a determination in this squad that is making 2+2 equal much more than 4. If we did drop away for any reason then I could see the intensity drop but we’re talking last few games of the season really

We’re better than 2 of the teams and as good as the other. never a better chance to end the drought (then make it a double)

He definitely had a slight dip after his kid was born. nothing major but was at 90% for a couple of games

Yeah we did enough to win whilst not playing well at all. Isak x 2, Murphy x 2 (the one on one where he just stopped running and the rubbish chip), Ritchie ballooning over twice, Wood all good enough chances to put that game away

Whilst having both would be the ideal we would be stronger second half of the season with ASM being sold and Maddison coming in. Isak, Wilson, Miggy uptop big Joe, Bruno, Maddison in the middle. reckon we could get Maddison and Tielmans for what we would get for Maxi, especially if we threw in Darlow on loan in part ex

When you see an opportunity you grab it with both hands and then work out how to deal with it later. top 4 shouldn’t be something to be scared about because our squad can’t cope. If needs must we could pad it out with a couple of experienced free transfers on 12 month deals. Or we could go big and replace most of the squad outside the first 11. Many ways to skin the cat but we will face that problem whenever we first get champions league football

Seems to be a disproportionate occurrence when a defender scores an OG they score at the right end in the same game

I see a loophole in that wording for Big Daddy Cool

Bottom 3 is as glorious as the top 3 as it stands

What was Tarkowski doing for the second goal?

There is no run of games against our rivals either so even if we do lose to one of them we've time to regroup before the next one

He must be getting close to the longest unbeaten start to a PL career? could only see the arsenal invincible steam having someone beat him assuming they had a new signing play all season
