I think some lag is completely understandable, it’s not an exact science.

Yeah, but that's ignoring the context. In Howe's time here we've been great more than we've been bad. The bad spell has corresponded with a ridiculous amount of mitigating circumstances. It's a big assumption that we're heading towards a substantial regression. In fact, Howe's time here so far suggests that he will turn it around once the mitigating circumstances abate somewhat.

Big assumption, this.

Rooney looks like retired players used to look when I was a kid. I'm all for it.

Big Jow

The phrase he used was 'was that pattern #'?. And yeah, there's been some stuff published on EH focussing a lot on muscle memory for how the players move when the ball is in certain parts of the pitch, through repetition.

Alternatively, the majority of people fall in to the 'in-between' space, and a few of them think you put across poor arguments, and tell you so.

The other team get paid, too.

Obviously in the minority here but I didn't think we were that bad TBH. Tough game away to a very motivated team, we're not in great form but we did enough to get through.

Only under controlled circumstances, obviously. Otherwise just leave it.

Thank fuck for that. If we’re going to win something we have to get through a game like that at some point.

And I love him.

He’s a head coach who repeatedly refers to himself as the manager.

Let’s not get carried away.

Eddie's job title to change to Manager over the Summer, Eddie's Brexit mags ride again.

There's something not right about this. Why sack Mowbray who was doing canny to bring this bloke in and sack him so quickly? Surely something else has factored in to this other than results?

That part of the interview posted above was essentially: Q: How big a blow is it to lose someone so influential? A: Not at all, he's only been here 5 minutes. I do think there's something in the fact that he regularly refers to himself as the manager, despite not being the manager.

Maybe she means Manchester and London are more overtly multi-cultural?

Outstanding avatar.

He said recently on TRIF that his son had been trying to get him to do this for ages. Glad he finally went for it.

Finally has a song worthy of him.

You must be fun at parties.

That’s the most mackem thing I’ve ever seen.
