No, all that matters is the wage bill.

This. None of these competitions are anything like the Intertoto Cup.

4 changes from Man City. Needs sacked.

Aye, ran from not far outside his own box

I just picked an end tbh, was just fucking about and knew/hoped you'd take it in good humour

@South-Cheshire-Toon to host the pre-match quiz pls and I'm in. First few rows of the Gallowgate like:

What would it explain?

This context is worthless without reference to the amount of goals we're scoring and how that compares to those seasons. We're conceding far too many but we're also scoring plenty. I'm not happy with performances either but only 3 teams in the league have scored more than us, so to ignore that and compare to relegation seasons is disingenuous at best.

He's currently standing in for Kate Middleton.

The Wolves match seems an obvious blueprint for this one - let them pass it to death for lengthy spells and hit them on the counter. They only started looking the better side in the LC quarter final when we were knackered and our squad is in a way better place now. Think we can sneak it but hoping for at least a draw.

Hans' vision needs to be made central to any plans, any other detail I can take or leave.

If we ask Hope to delete that section of the interview now then maybe we'll get our money back for him in the summer. I'm beyond amused that the Daily fucking Mail is behind a paywall now

Yeah there's no right answer, I was responding to someone asking why anyone wouldn't FH that week. I think I'll not bother as I'm doing pretty crap this year anyway and it feels a bit boring.

A double game week would have a higher upside. I'm not that keen on using it on players from 8 teams that are mostly shit, where I don't have much faith in any of them returning much.

We're 4 points behind Man Utd with 11 games left Some people will absolutely never learn.

Backup striker needs to be pretty much #1 priority this summer imo. We stick with Isak and Wilson and this will happen again and again. You can say either of them shouldn't be playing 4 or 5 in a row - well that's the problem, they will invariably be playing that much because the other one will usually be out. No idea if it's due to the work he's asked to do in our side or he's just a bit injury prone but Isak seems to need someone to share the load with. He's the last player I want us getting rid of so we need to facilitate that however we can. Ideal scenario is getting a young backup striker and a top RW who can also play there, probably getting rid of Wilson.

At least 7 of the first 11 will be defensively-minded, absolutely no point fantasising otherwise

I thought they were fucking the new UCL format off?

Shout-out to the fat cunt sat next to me in Leazes West corner today. Arrived 20 minutes late, absolutely steaming. Proceeded to loudly talk to himself the whole match, calling various players "not good enough", groaning when we passed backwards and shouting "pathetic" when a more adventurous pass didn't come off. Mercifully went quiet towards the end as his half time pint started to wear off. The biggest shock of the match was that he stayed til the end, presumably cos he couldn't be bothered to get off his fat useless arse. Whoppers like this make the day worse for everyone around them.

We've just won our first home match in ages man, please stop being so shit.

You're really shit. Really shit.
