My mama once said, transfer windows are like a box of choclits, You never know what you gonna get

Aye but the mass produced craft beers often taste canny enough. And some mass produced lagers taste canny enough. Carling is on the very bottom rung of the mass produced lagers and tastes absolutely fucking rank. And Madri is just Carling wearing a Spanish disguise and speaking English very slowly with a Spanish accent.

Box Office be like

Anyone got 40+ ballot failures yet ? I've just clicked past 39 this morning. Am wondering if I'm in the lead. 40 x entries. 1 x win (FUCKING BRADFORD).

That actually happened to me once in the bogs at Waterloo station late at night. I was bloke in the orange top. Bloke in turquoise shook his willy vigorously trying to make his wee come out. It was before stat nonces started quoting xG though. Halcyon days.

I know exactly what it's for ya dafty. It's actually possible to have a comprehensive understanding of what something is, whilst also hating that thing that you have a comprehensive understanding of. Michael McIntyre, Coldplay, Sketchers, xG. They all fall into that category.

Go back and re-read my posts. I was comparing negative fan reaction to the Hall signing (£35m, unproven, Howe won’t pick him during loan spell etc) to the negative fan reaction of the Elanga signing (£55m, off to a poor start etc) I wasn’t comparing the players to each other. I was saying how fans will often get it wrong about the merits of signings because they’re not experts whereas Howe and the coaching staff are.

Unlike yourself.

You pulled yourself together admirably. A maiden over is a historical fact. It's an over bowled without conceding a run. It doesn't matter how the over was bowled, or what the batsmen did, or what day of the test it was, or anything else. The simple fact is that no runs were conceded. xG is not a fact. It's a predictive statistic.

Howe's literally just said in a presser today that he's pleased with the progress he's seeing from Ramsey since his injury. Are you saying you know more than Howe ?

You have to be on the wind up, indulging in some festive tomfoolery. There can be no other explanation.

Can't believe I'm actually having to explain what "match fitness" means to someone on a football forum, but this is where we find ourselves. A player might be medically fit (not injured) but not match-fit if they haven’t played enough competitive minutes recently—for example, after an injury, illness, or long break.

Try again. He came back in mid-October. And no player returns from a 43 day injury and is straight back into match fitness.

He's been out injured ya galoot

Fucking stats man. You can be in the ground or watching it on telly and see it with your own eyes, but if it's not in the stats apparently it never happened. The worlds gone mad.

That's like when I tell my lass I'm going out for a couple of pints and come home 2 days later

He's got the face of a young Ian Brown

He’ll get a guard of honour at every ground in the land. Like a makem walking into a sports bar in Benidorm.

Cogito ergo sum, the fans usually knaa nowt and get it wrong because they’re opinionated dafties who might think they’re experts in player recruitment, coaching, tactics and performance analysis, but they’re actually not
