The Bonk

Wilson should have done better there for the offside.

Benfica are lethal on the break.

BOOM!!!!!

No shit? Fuckers! So two separate subscription packages now if you want to watch CL, Prem and the cups.

Mag alert ?.

Aye, was supremely jealous when Ashley owned us. They’re very well run and loved when they won the league. Now? Think we’ll surpass them and not look back! What a wild twist of fate last year was.

Really? Man, they're already at each other, I think it's great. Arse again, think they'll be decent this year.

could have been referring to the ‘other Steve’s’. Hahaha

Watched that before, love the subtle shade he throws at Bruceball. Also, here's where he talks about Howe: He honestly comes off as a genuine, humble guy. It's amazing to see the transformation and him enjoy his football in the Toon. He'll be a decorated legend when he's done with us.

Better than Shola. Also, bonus group of 'full kit wanka' mackems. SkySport Retro is full of gold.

The only thing of interest Watford do are mind bleeding managerial appointments while simultaneously burning through them. Look at this shit: https://www.transfermarkt.us/fc-watford/mitarbeiterhistorie/verein/1010

He's got nothing about him as a manager. Amazing footballer in his day, but he's not a manager. Think he'd be better as a first team coach under a bigger managerial name, but doubt his ego would be satisfied on 2nd fiddle. Dyche would keep them up if they're in the shit, but he's no visionary or transformative figure. A Bielsa type is needed, which they had in Rafa, but that obviously didn't work out. Wonder if they'd go for Martinez post WC?

The touch, control and to whack it in on the half volley was insane.

For some reason I thought Ancelotti (10, 12) had them in the top half when he was there. The following all had better league results since Moyes consistently had them in the top half: 8 Marco Silva 8 Sam Allardyce 7 Ronald Koeman 5 Roberto Martínez (also 11) Last year was Everton's second lowest league table position in the PL, they've had a 17th (93-94) previously under Mike Walker. One thing Howe mentioned early days was culture, inclusion and player chemistry. From Lamps down to their star players, they all look miserable or uninterested. While ability is obviously the biggest force for success at the top level, you cannot underestimate the impact culture and community have within a club. Everton are currently fucking rotten, unfortunately.

Is it? Have to think they recoup a good portion of the outlay if Gallagher and Broja are sold.

The King not good enough for you, @BennyBlanco? Deleweded Mag.

Who runs the index? The PL? I'd have thought sentiment might be lower during that season, but I'm not sure I understand the data behind the ranking. Mate, I wish I could share some of the work I did with Chelsea around fan engagement, the app we built and let you compare the data with your qualitative assessment here. I've slightly pivoted a lot of my work into behavioural economics, which is what you're essentially broaching into here. I assure you the big clubs all have this data set and where it has the most value for the club is the commercialization and revenue generating mechanics needed to secure sponsorships. Growth, retention and sentiment obviously the main KPIs, but it's always interesting to unpack nuance such as the character of a particular ownership group. Best of luck to you!

I’m impressed your Uni leverages Qualtrics for your studies. Survey was slightly ambiguous, what’s your hypothesis and what outcomes are you looking to illicit?

That Reading Kit is absolutely minging. Random sponsors spackled on the shorts and in between the hoops. Fucking hell.

Zaha is 27 and arguably became an elite player only last season. It's obvious Eze has potential that's yet been realized, age has nothing to do with that. You really are an Edge Lord. Congrats.

He's a top prospect and has something about him, I agree. He was class for QPR and I imagine Palace hope he can have the same impact Gallagher did for them the past campaign.
