Top stuff, thanks for putting in the work.

As a resentful bald myself, I just assume most people in the public eye with that solid a head of hair at that age have had work done. It's how I console myself, anyway. It's just all too accessible to people of wealth these days.

Where are the Yorkshire puddings, you heathens?

Obviously it's just a minor inconvenience but didn't they agree to start adding a link to the match ballots from the home tickets page? Looks like they've given up on that in just a matter of weeks. Not that it was particularly noticeable anyway, just the words 'click here' in the exact same font size/colour as the rest of the writing so it took ages for me to realise it.

Due to the contract and sheer spite I would go in offering £25m with the intention of going to £30m max. Not overly fussed about getting him in the summer either. I'd hazard a guess that one of the cartel would come in and trump us on wages/sign on fee at that point. Probably why we were prepared to pay a bit more this summer to avoid that. EDIT: Had it in my head he was out of contract '25 and not '26 so I guess there's still a chance in the summer but at a lower fee there'd probably still be more competition.

Nice to see he's winless in 7 league fixtures. Does have a couple of cup victories against League 2 teams in there though. Good for him. While I'm in here I'm chuffed for Ayoze. I'll always have a soft spot for him which is rare for me and most players from that time period. Got unfair stick while he was with us, unfair stick when returning with Leicester and as far as I've seen has said nothing worse than we felt as far as Leicester being a great opportunity after we swapped Rafa for Bruce, when he could've easily become resentful of our aforementioned attitude towards him. I'd say the £30m was a no brainer/good business etc but who cares when it was going in to the pocket of the fat man at the time anyway.

Looked really tidy last night. It may not have come off but I loved when he absolutely rinsed his opponent for some space before bending the ball up the wing for Rogers. Shame it had just a bit too much on it.

That can't be true surely?
-
That would require Boehly to understand the concept of managing finances.

Looks like On The Grid should go Off The Grid for a while.

Wait. Did they say thay was in 90 seconds!?

I think it's just standard that most new pundits feel like a breath of fresh air. I recall people finding Neville a revelation when he arrived. Other than being a weird hockler Carragher seemed to be well thought of too. I think once you give any pundit such regular air time they're always going to show themselves up sooner or later just by virtue of needing to spout an opinion on everything. Some are obviously worse than others but every pundit gets their hate club and I'm sure Walcott will go the same way if he becomes a mainstay.

With Tino getting called up it's even more annoying that Neek isn't getting a look in again. When was the last time NUFC could boast four England internationals?
-
Think he's a victim of his own success tbh. He's still crazily important to how we play, even if he's not hitting the heights of last season.
-
Yeah but it's Klopp. Mitigating circumstances.
-
Peter Ramage is still on staff. Too late to register him in the squad?
-
I kept flitting between 'he's off his tits on something' and 'actually he seems pretty lucid'. Maybe that's the AI not quite being up to scratch yet. Give the lad a promotion either way.
-
In contrast to the Trips/BDB combo of the last couple of years, we've basically swapped the flanks over where Tino at RB should be ready with the no-nonsense defence while this absolute star can help us progress from the back. Getting ahead of myself but they could be perfectly complimentary to each other for both us and England for the next decade.

I wish they'd notice Hall's availability a bit more sometimes. Was shouting to absolutely no one when Bruno became obsessed with laying the ball back off to Big Joe down the right when Hall had acres of space just outside the middle of the box. The lad can hit it. Give him more chances to do so. Not a bad half all in all. One shit set piece and an absolute dogshit set of officials going against us.
