  1. I know he's not breathtaking or owt but I don't feel like Targett is even that much of a slouch offensively to worry about replacing for that reason? Always seems to support well when he's got the opportunity even though, as others have mentioned, it isn't all the time as he's probably been told to be careful with Maxi in front of him more often than not.
  2. It's an absolute joy to be desperate for a win every week again but if we reach the final day, a Burnley win could send Everton down and we're not fighting for a significant jump in league position then throw the game I don't give a fuck. Bitter? Maybe. But as well as it seeming that a strange proportion of their fans have something against us, on 24 May 2009 I got numerous individual texts simply saying 'bye bye newcastle!' from a group of mates who supported other clubs while I worked that fateful Saturday afternoon. One of whom was an Everton fan. Whom I am still friends with now. And if I can return the favour to even just one of those pricks, I will be happy.
  3. I wonder if there's an argument for not signing him if we're looking at other options for immediate competition, considering he left Villa because he wasn't going to be a guaranteed starter. Might just be goodwill to not tie him down if the two parties have conflicting ideas. That's all I can think of. I personally would be more than happy if we just sought a young understudy and told Targett the starting spot is his to lose for at least the next couple of years depending on how both he and the club perform in that time.
  4. Jesus Christ please let it happen.
  5. How out of touch am I? £115m for a Championship club, playoff-bound or not, sounds mental to me. P.s. My condolences to Sheff U. I refuse to believe this won't end it tears.
  6. A whole world of Internet to be explored and that's the funniest video that guy's ever seen?
  7. Who were the others? Pulis, Pardew.. Burley? Can't for the life of me think of another. Going to take a random punt at Allardyce in his Bolton glory days.
  8. Jesus he's only 28. Feels like just yesterday I was sat around watching football with mates every weekend and tipped him as FGS with a header, bottled putting my money on and then watched him do it I think two fucking weeks in a row. Hated him ever since.
  9. Still hope it goes tits up ofc.
  10. Fair enough on the McClaren move tbh. Not saying it'll be a guaranteed success but it's never been his coaching ability in question. Smacks a bit of trying to recapture the glory days with an ex Ferguson sidekick but might help to have a link to the past that isn't so brazenly desperate like the OGS move was.

    Footy trivia

    Think I managed about 30 in the first few minutes and then realised how shocking my memory is mixed with how little I've cared about football the last few years.

    I took a stab at four. Didn't realise it was only two.

    Tbf to them I'd hate manufactured atmospheres too if I supported a club that could barely round up four people to try and manufacture one.
  14. Don't think it can be understated how much of an effect him experiencing a night like last night can be in terms of seeing the power they could harness among our fanbase if they get things right. The fact he was buzzing to wave flags and even want a kickabout on the pitch just feels so good after the previous 14 years.
  15. It started pretty civil and then as soon as one wetwipe calls him a mag its like a siren for the thread to descend in to a parody.
  16. Damnit. I know they closed extra team loopholes for winning European trophies but thought there was still an avenue domestically. Ah well. There's always next year.
  17. I know this is all insane to even be thinking about but.. considering Liverpool has the EFL Cup and the FA Cup is between Liverpool and Chelsea, how far could European qualification fall when considering the Conference League too now? Am I just dreaming that it could fall to 9th with both teams all but guaranteed to finish in the CL spots? I gave up caring about the variables a long old time ago.

    Utter madness that this can be reasonably said.
  19. Look who's too good to open his mouth. Off in the summer?
  20. Let me know if you need to be linked back up. I've got your back.
  21. This result bodes well for when we evaluate his position this summer.
