I bet Townsend hasn't seen a football yet
Played in a friendly last night so id be gobsmacked if he hadn't.
Yeah, he saw it flying over his head for most of the game
People laughing at Allardyce as a choice, then advocating Redknapp in the same fucking breath
"Put that box of pills down and drink some bleach instead!"
I think it's wise to have competition for Lascelles. As well as he did last year he could easily go off the boil - we need someone ready to come in and perform if he needs taking out of the spotlight for a few weeks.
Rafa will like Lascelles IMO, but he's too young and inexperienced to rely on to be a 40-game consistent performer.
Crouch would be fine for a year IMO. Good lad to have around, might teach Mitrovic a thing or two, probably grab a small handful of goals, low fee etc.
"Infinitely less chippy" says Louise. Look at that photo of him from 2001 and it's clear he's been to the fucking chippy more and more with each passing year
44 in 131 games is very very respectable at Premier League level. Particularly in what was largely a shit, struggling side.
Some good goals but also some frustrating performances.
He'll be remembered fondly but it's time he went. Hope he coins it in with the rest of the pensioners in China.
Should just be signing the best Championship CB there is. They all know we're the best shout of going up this year so even if they don't play so much it's a near guaranteed ticket to the Premier League.
