Consortium of one

I want this man.

Because of MA's thriftiness, FFP won't be an issue in January and possibly even next summer if the new ownership buy smart. Look abroad first, salt in some experienced PL talent on the cheap and go after youth.

It appears this ban attempt is about as well thought out as the aborted Super League

I don't know but I think Bruce should be repeatedly pedaled on his scrote

I just watched a YT video about how Fonseca's Roma squad play. It looks really exciting but we don't have the MF for it

If we're going to play 2 CB it almost has to be Lascelles and Schar with Hayden holding front of them. Fede and Clark are much to slow at this point. If we play 3 at the back Fede, Lascelles and Schar would be the 3. I'd still have Hayden in a midfield two because he is far and away our best ball winner.

I picked up on this too. Said it like he was powerless to change it. Not once have I ever seen him implore the players to push up. He's like a spectator.

He does this thing where he hunches his shoulders too. Like he's trying to emulate what he thinks a good defender looks like. He's yards off and he shuffles his feet and then the guy is past him.

I'm putting us down as a 7. Yes a really good run of form can see us achieve safety. Who in the back can step up?

"Amanda, fuck the measured, patient approach" "Yessir, Yasir, on it!"

we were talking about him for England. Such was the magic of Rafa.

I start work at 7am (EST) which is noon (BST). The first headline I read is that this bacon grease sweating tosser is GONE. Then, each of those players is put on notice. Whoever the new coach is shouldn't spend as much time on tactics as on building up the fitness levels. The squad has been allowed to get soft. Too many days off, not enough work.

Bad bye Bruce. Bad bye Shelvey. Bad bye lack of pride. Bad bye lack of effort. Bad bye to all deadwood on this team.

Shelvey. Shit player

Our new owners do not look happy

I hope the fan is OK

Joelinton: wrap my wrist so I can catch my breath

awful first touches now

Bruceball at its finest.

I just hope we're not gassed after 60min

I'm yelling and crying. My wife thinks I'm having a meltdown!

Good. Just need about 12-13 more

Great post OCK. What puzzles me the most is what about the 7 or 8 y/o who goes on to lose the baby fat at 10 or 11? What about the puny shrimp that has a growth spurt? Those children who get jettisoned or never had a chance because they weren't physically (or even emotionally) ready at 8 could be so much better if they had the same chance.

I sincerely hope "interim manager" does not mean "pfm dinosaur"

I don't even own the team, silly boy...oh...THAT Consortium...
