This is just weird. On every level. Player, club, everything.

Someone needs to stop the messing around and get a message out to Rudi. Yeah. Better think of your future.

This is spot-on. I wouldn't bother with one that isn't quick at this stage. A young Bellamyesque player would be the perfect foil for Mitro and create space for Gini to run into. Exactly the player I thought of when mulling over what we need. A young Craig Bellamy.

Look at this guy getting carried away because we scored as many goals last night as our previous six matches put together. Getting all Billy Bigtime with the goals predictions.

Think I sat staring at the TV for a good couple of minutes, just sheer disbelief that he hadn't even tried to score. Literally unbelievable. He wasn't even waiting for contact, he just didn't know what to do.

How in the holy fuck has he not got a shot away there? Absolutely fucking hopeless this cunt.

2-2.

Sorry these are late, predictions for the remaining games: Chelsea 1-1 West Brom Man City 3-1 Everton Southampton 2-1 Watford Stoke 1-1 Norwich Swansea 1-1 Sunderland Liverpool 1-2 Arsenal Spurs 2-1 Leicester

Best I've seen from him in terms of acceleration. He was almost Dyer-esque at times.

Due a goal. Come on Mitro.

Nope - apparently clearly at Thauvin.

Big Sam does not like this.

They closely related I guess. He employs people who don't know what they doing, and he can't instruct them effectively because he doesn't know either. Disagree. He knows exactly what he's doing. There's no coincidence that the strategy has been buy cheap, sell high (even if results have been mixed). Same thing with ignoring cups, not wanting Europa etc. All of the clues lead to financial prudence which comes from his unwillingness to fund the club personally or at least allow it to take it a punt in punching its weight. I've said it before but everyone he employs falls into the category of 'grateful, incompetent'. I'm sure there's a name for it when you crave this thanks/gratitude/popularity/love from people. An undoubted ego thing.

Is it his employment of the wrong people or his instructions to those people?

He could loan the whole Arsenal back four and they'd still be fucked.

Rafa gone. Zizou in.

I can't believe nobody has snapped JC up yet. What a waste of talent.

Ashley has apparently ordered 50 tents from the local SD and the tea lady is back with her sowing kit. Obertan is being sent up to fix into position.

New Manager bounce, eh? How do you like it you cunts.
