Just flicked Soccer Special on and the first words out of Merse's mouth (they're talking about the situation at Wolves) "...you don't want to bring someone in from abroad, you want Gary O'Neil, he's been in the league recently and will know the players. Someone from abroad takes 6 months to work it out and by then you're relegated" Spectacular insight and punditry as per

Rafa always used to drop him after he had a good game. Recall he set up Rondon away at Everton for a goal midweek and wasn't even selected for the bench at the weekend despite being fit. Was a period around New Year that same season where he set up Perez for the winner at Stoke and had another good game either before or after, and once again was dropped and did unused sub duty for weeks on end. Rafa may have spotted there was a player in there but his usage of him was absolutely horrid.

Challenging to watch

If they wanted a talentless, bland as fuck ginger cunt they should have got Colback in again on a free before QPR signed him.

Ayling's positioning there about fotty yards away from the winger. Awful.

Looked canny in pre-season, hopefully he gets consistent football this season and it'll do him the world of good.

Don't think so? Funny enough I'm on that Isak one as a single, thought it was a canny price given his goals to minutes ratio last season. On Watkins at 22s also.

Good of you to post that gif, it'll remind the mackems lurking on here of that shite dreary music they walk out to every other Saturday before Charlie Salmon Pants got his hands on Ibiza Megamix.

How about we make 3 signings, then 2 more if we need them.

Get Livramento and a young up-and-coming CB with a bit pace and that's an absolutely fucking superb window IMO.

If you want a really good flan... The Gardeners.

When Barnes scores his first goal he'll be a distant memory. We need consistency in our bigger players & if we have any "wildcards" they should be of the younger, Minteh/Kuol profile. Best of luck to him & thanks for lighting up the Bruce years somewhat. Hope he kicks it over there.

Good lad, definitely one who should have been moved on years ago but did well to get us promoted that year. His little mini cycle after that was to come in when Dubravka got injured, look canny, and then immediately fall to pieces when Dubravka would get back near fitness again. That Toney goal in Howe/Tindall's first game against Brentford was a proper last straw moment for me with him.

Loves pre season more than Harris Vuckic this lad.

Imagine if we suddenly start to look class with Miley on

Shades of Stevie Taylor

Under strengths, you've put defending. That's just your job though

He's performing how he wants to perform.

Fast kickin', low scorin', and ties? You bet!

Yellow for that but nowt for Dahoud's which was virtually identical? Great consistency. Just like the Premier League.

Yeze pleaeze
