Eeesh you called me out not cool

There is not one bit of tactical detail in any of his responses. "We'll analyse it" presumably means another Steve will tell him what happened. Blagging a living.

The way he says "Malta?!" forgot how funny he was. Happy birthday SBR.

Has Schar ever played right back?

Earlier this season I'd stopped watching the games, going shopping instead or even not bothering if I was in the house. Then I started watching the odd game out of morbid curiosity, fancying a laugh at how bad we were. Also to watch the fat plank in the dugout squirm and get his comeuppance. Tbh I couldn't switch the obsession straight back on, although I was immediately interested and have watched all the games closely since the takeover. The transfer window really got me excited about us again, seeing us sign the best players we could find in each position regardless of their age or sell-on value or whatever. Exactly the opposite of the Ashley era. Life has changed quite a bit so I doubt I'll be getting a season ticket or going to many away games again any time soon. It infuriates me that so much of my 20s and 30s were pointlessly spent watching such shit teams, but I'm watching the current team from afar and it's wonderful feeling like I give a fuck again.

Didn't nearly set up a goal or do a nonchalant backheel between two players. He's going backwards fast.

I've had a re-think and don't think we'll stay up now as it took us until December to get our first win. There's still work to do but it was always far too early to be catastrophising about our chances the way some people were.

Think it's Amanda Staveley, mind.

Would 100% take him back as a squad player, not that I think it will happen or anything. His ability to play across the front to a decent level would be extremely useful.

This is another reason why your mate Pardew was such a disaster at NUFC, their PL-era record against us was laughable before he got involved.

Give him the keys to the city.

Trippier has been immense.

I'd give it an 8 in the context we were operating in. Seemed a nightmare. Still managed to sign some big talent and some solid characters. I'm fairly confident we'll stay up now because of the signings and the fact Howe seems to have stopped the rot a bit. It'll be cagey though. Really hope that in the summer we sign a player that can play right across the front line, we've lacked one since Remy and it solves so many squad problems over the course of the season in the modern game.

Seems like the absolute canniest lad we've signed in ages

Cheers for giving us the benefit of your expertise.

Can't wait til that yellow ticker is abused PS amazing signing

What terms does a loan signing need to agree other than "aye, go on then"? The percentage of wages, loan fee etc are agreed between the clubs.

Pulisic was doing great until he seemingly turned into yet another Chelsea squad player.

where the fuck yee been?

Next 6 games if we can get 9+ points we'll still not be cut adrift or anything, that only feels possible with new signings that would transform our play and mentality though.

Agree with neesy, about 7.5. There have been teams in the past looking worse than us and in worse predicaments that have survived. The longer it goes on with performances so passive while we can't turn draws into wins, the more worrying it gets though.
