  1. Mike Ashley wasn't running the club either but he bothered me a lot more than Derek Llambias did.
  2. It bothers me all the time and actively impairs my enjoyment of our (admittedly fantastic) results on the pitch. (To be fair, I'm no a regular match-goer so who cares what I think really.) I'm not saying I don't have fun supporting the club, it's just that my enjoyment is somewhere around a 8/10 where it would be 10/10 if we just had normal competent owners who tried, even if they weren't as wealthy.
  3. What on Earth happened here Yet another reason to wish we were owned by someone else, I suppose.
  4. At a minimum, we should be able to amortize both his wages and a portion of his transfer fees for FFP purposes, but I realize that none of these rules are designed to make sense so who knows really.
  5. As far as I'm concerned, the fact that the team is still even remotely functional despite a ridiculous amount of injuries and our top summer signing getting suspended for he entire season is a testament to the fact that we have a strong squad built on good transfer business, not the other way around. You can only prepare so much for contingencies. It's no reasonable to have expect a whole XI of top-quality starters waiting in the wings when our first team starts going down.
  6. I've had way too much positivity for the past couple of years. Thank you this game for reminding me how much I hate football
  7. 4 points out of three games is a bit of a bummer when you consider that two of them were at home. Really don't fancy the PSG or Dortmund away ties.
  8. I hear his replacement Ozozcan isn't too shaby either.
  9. Yeah you can tell pitch conditions must be shit. Ball just bounces wherever. Keep it in the general area of the opposing goal and it's probably bouncing in eventually.
  10. These fuckers are good. We are good. Just two good teams doing good team things.
  11. We've had such a ridiculously large amount of long-term injuries that sometimes I just forget about certain players entirely. Botman? Who's that? Havey Barnes? He play for us?
  12. Miggy taking the time to remind us that he has no right foot
  13. It's a difficult situation. It's going to be hard to convince anyone of quality to come and be the clear third-choice striker when we never play two up top. Honestly, Chris Wood was just about the best we can expect for that role.
  14. Two teams pressing the shit out of each other on a wet pitch, what could possibly go wrong.
  15. I have to say, it finally just feels normal to see us playing in the Champions League.
