That is an absolutely honking quote it's the premier league ffs, he makes it sound like under 10s fun club for the daft kids.

It's so strange how some of these, mostly, British managers can be so hideously bad for so many years and still get top jobs. Usually just hear stuff like "they are a safe pair of hands" or other meaningless tripe.

Ah makes a bit more sense. Still seems low, but sure there's more to it.

Randomly was thinking about Patrick Kluivert today, read this on his wiki: Is that not a hideously low sentence?

Hahaha we actually lost

Fraser didn't even look that fussed. Just booted a guy and took the 2nd yellow like he wants to get back for the Man Utd game.

He's 29, turns 30 in May

It's like a really extreme version of the Facundo Ferreyra loan. Obviously something dodgy. It's probably heavily incentive-based and we haven't spent anywhere near that, and it was used to placate the fans. Exciting, young, big-money Brazilian, you could argue it worked for a bit!

That’s very harsh, he’s only a young lad.

I still cannot believe they aren't being absolutely obliterated for that decision. It was so short-sighted and brainless "But the latest lockdown did come when we were in Dubai, so we had travelled out there thinking everything was OK." Is that a joke? It was an absolutely hideous situation when they left, the utter bastards, how dare they think they are above it.

He's got to be up there, surely. Really feel like it flies under the radar a bit as well. He's been a fucking horrible signing. I mean there'll always be Torres who'll go down as arguably the worst flop when it comes to transfer fee Vs. return, but even he scored somewhere close to 50 goals for Chelsea including some crucial ones in the Champions League. There's Shevchenko for Chelsea as well but, again, twenty-odd goals in a couple of seasons. Hardly the apocalytpically bad return that big Jeff has for us. Carroll? Kepa, maybe, if we can include non-strikers? Weird ones like Drinkwater, if you can call that a 'flop'? Soldado? Benteke to Liverpool for 42m is very similar. Wilfried Bony, Vincent Jansen,Eliaquim Mangala, Bony seems to be a free agent. Though I think he completely sacked football as soon as the Man City payday happened shame as he was solid.

We've had loads of blatantly dodgy agent deals. Like Xisco and Luque come to mind. When we spend big it usually doesn't work.

Does this go straight to penos, or extra time, or a replay? I have no idea.

Ritchie is a total banger. We've been decent overall though just lacking quality.

Joelinton is so shite I can't believe it. He looks like he barely knows what's happening.

Carroll looking lively

We look completely baffled every time they hold a high line for free kicks

Yes. It's picked up with Shearer constantly saying Joe Linton. Even if that's correct, it's still funny.

This is the first match I've watched of ours in over a year. Have we been this boring all season?

Well I never...

Hang on, £40m? Somehow completely missed that, what a crap price

Does this not happen fairly often? Then they give him money and he stops saying it for a bit.

Bang on.

We've been after him for ages, which is really weird. The rumours have been going in Motherwell for as long as I can remember.

Heard rumours that it's finished because Dawson is a bit of a fanny and Bob wants nothing to do with him... https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/athletico-mince-podcast-star-andy-22113574 Hope not, I've come to terms and accepted he's a fanny already and don't really mind still taking the patreon cash so maybe it's still alive...
