Adeyemi would be incredible, can't see it but yes please.

Erm, not sure but obvs weekends will be busiest. If people are working in central London they might tend to go out there before heading home. Highly recommend hip-hop karaoke if you're there for one. (No I didn't do a song )

I would definitely have taken Barkley. But I guess if we are in for a CM it won't be hard to find someone as good.

The containers at the moment still have the designs from when they were originally used for Stack. Some of them still even have the old shop branding and interior stuff inside. There's a coffee shop one that used to be in Stack. I'm assuming they'll all be completely repainted and then rebranded with whatever will be in each one.

I like Boxpark Croydon It's been pretty busy all the times I've been.

I dunno like, if our backup options hadn't been so dire this season we probably would've finished about 10 points better off. Obviously you need both, but I can definitely see the logic of upgrading the squad rather than just signing big-money players to start every game.

Aye, I'm pretty sure it's not going to look like that, you plum

If we're in advanced negotiations it'll happen. As always, don't bother about any player until they're holding the shirt up (or Lee Ryder says it's off).

Goalkeepers are usually batshit mental TBF.

Dedicated many years to the club is an interesting way of phrasing it.

The way I think about it is kind of two different threads or graph lines. One, the long term, is just heading like 45 degrees upwards and that’s what I focus on. The other one might sometimes go flat, or up by 60 degrees, or only up by 30 degrees. But I really can’t bring myself to be too bothered about that. The crunch would be if I believed we didn’t have the right people for the long term line to be heading up, but that seems a long way off at the moment - we have so much ground to make up, on and off the pitch.

Even the league cup has been won by Man City 6 out of the last 10 years.

If we lose any of those key players then the expectation will need to be dialled down significantly. If you lose Isak you could spend £100m and make no progress at all. Probably similar with Gordon and Bruno. There are 8 clubs who should be finishing top 4 now.

I’d hope so too but let’s say 3 of those will be won by Man City or whoever is the best team at the time, then there’s not a lot left to fight for.

His baseline level is very low. Playing through injury is commendable etc, but it’s not why he’s a bad player.

Yeah, of course it’s possible, but that’s different to he should do it or it’s an expectation. If Man City don’t make a 1 in 100 howler yesterday they probably win the cup. That’s what I mean about how unlikely these things are. One slip or one goal can’t be how you judge a manager.

Football clubs do some truly mad stuff when it comes to managers. I guess there are only so many proven winners, but even so you’d think Bayern would have better options.

See if we can get a cricket club to take him on loan.

It’s mad to base anything on an outcome as unlikely as winning a trophy anyway TBH. Most seasons there are 3 to win and you have to finish better than at least three really elite clubs to get one. You could have a near perfect season and not win a trophy. When Pep moves on we can talk again.

It’s weird though because for me being punished by Ashley for 15 years just means everything that happens now is amazing. I can’t understand why anyone would be more negative now.

I would say about 5-7 years. Or when the manager has a squad that’s good enough to realistically win something.

And fiddles with you.

That’s a weird story, they hope to receive proposals?

I’m not happy about the whole thing, I’m just happy Ashworth has proved himself to be a slime and that the club aren’t backing down for Man Utd. Schadenfreude is an essential part of being a football fan
