Second half of last season was an obvious purple patch, even at the time.

I don't watch the news, so I'm firmly in the 'anyone but Ashley' camp

The only thing of interest is that it's the Wall Street Journal's scoop and not The Sun. They're far too big to care who Mike Ashley is and it's a country where this isn't an easy back page headline.

WhatsApps out, lads. The new Midhat has been revealed.

Ashley will be fuming that he had to sanction two signings before this late leak. Hope someone gets fired for the delay.

Mane was triple captain

Meh. Unless we're selling some of Atsu, Krafth, Muto, Gayle, Ki, Colback, Saivet and Yedlin, I don't see where the room is.

Those green arrows of Christmas were long ago. Took out Pope for Ryan at the weekend and chose Maupay over Calvert-Lewin..... those decision cost me around 30pts Captain Vardy missed that penalty, Alli was also removed for Salah. Can't catch a break right now!

Only just now seen the dead body stuff. Explains a lot of today's Twitter

Thanks Lee If anything, the quality was temporary. He's not played often enough for the 'class is permanent' spiel

Embarba to embargo, if they're not careful.

Is he related to that Oxo lady?

We're such flukey motherfuckers How the hell are we keep getting these points?!?!

Shrewd deal but not entirely sure what the point of it is.

Going back and forth on who to triple captain for this Double Gameweek - Salah, Mane or Alexander-Arnold

Reminds of that SSN guy who was totally punching by being with Natalie Sawyer.

A low first bid makes sense. Problem is, we know it's not rising :lol:

I thought Colback hadn't made the squad. They're not all in the squad, but we have Hayden, Shelvey, Longstaff 1, Longstaff 2, Ki, Colback, Saivet and Bentaleb for just 2 spots. So much deadwood at this club.

Already got loads of CMs so that's surely Ki off to Celtic, or we've agreed to melt Colback.

Not fancy permanently signing players?

Same. Has he even noticed he's on screen?

Safe for this season but it's just delaying it for one more year, when the luck finally runs out.

Exactly. Guardiola can't be trusted, as with Mahrez today.

Bruce, when asked about Lazaro: "It would be unfair to comment on individuals." So this one could be a goer.

Samatta to Villa is annoying because he's much better than the Slimani and Benteke options.
