The Bonk

my recency bias is on full display. Apologies to the Scouse Mackems, OG Mackems for the win.

Henry had far superior players around him, to be fair to Shearer. Still, Henry was their catalyst, phenomenal player.

Jan 2014: Yohan Cabaye -> PSG £18m (should have been higher, possibly) Jan 2011: Andy Carroll -> Liverpool £35M Some of those players went on crazy inflation due to their unexpected form. Merino in hindsight is poor return. Thauvin would have been as well, too bad he wasn't up for it. In comparison to? It's not been great, but I personally wouldn't say pathetic. That's Sunderland or Everton territory.

I might have him ahead of Big Al.....(who I love dearly).

Ruud van Nistelrooy, Bergkamp, Henry could be in that list. It's a decent talking point of player profiles to compare. Nistelrooy was probably the best off the ball striker of that era, he was astute at finding himself in the right place anticipating play. We could use his lethalness in front of goal.

Yup, Perez, then Mitro and Merino all double figures.

My ranking exactly.

Great player, character and glad to see him doing well. NE Football has been underperforming the last decade and it’s good to see these along with the lot down the road in the playoff/promotion hunt. What’s comforting is our owners wouldn’t let a talent like Carrick go unnoticed as we modernize our scouting and academy operations.

His kid is there, on loan right now, though.

show me a “good” neck tattoo.

I see, this super league nonsense. Agreed, it's complete garbage.

How is current state PL not 'hyper-capitalist'?

Ah yes, the MackSignal, the first sign of when things unravel and go tits up. Overconfidence is not their strong suit.

"molten award, then smash it"

It's insane and probably why Jones will never work in top flight football again. He's nuts.

What is wrong with him?

Was nice of the BBC reporter to state the obvious, but completely unnecessary and uncalled for.

Adams would be decent cover too, but would rather have the players you mentioned. Salisu, Lavia if we could do a double deal would be my preference.

if that is even remotely true, then everything else makes complete sense. Why not get rid of the table, Jonesy? Psycho.

Nah, I do, clearly couldn’t handle the pressure and came out with some whoppers trying to defend himself. His best bet at redemption will be promotion with another Luton type club. Wish the bloke well and hope he takes it in stride.

Are we sure this isn’t a Marra in peyce?

Clinical. Harsh on Wrexham, they gave their all.

Tozer having a go at the fans and a Rory Delap impersonation.

music to investigate to.
