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.

Yep I 100% agree - but ignoring all other context and saying we pay £50m more than other sides and all teams have injuries, therefore that's the yardstick and nothing else matters is bollocks. And it's been said this week. A lot.

Eh? I wasn't even on about you. I'm referring to posts in recent days saying anything below 7th is a failure because we've the 7th highest wage bill in the league. With no weight given to us having suffered 200 more injury days than the nearest team and 1000 days more than the two teams above us. It's a ridiculously reductive argument that has been an absolute fucking bore to read all week.

And player absence means absolutely nothing in this absurdly black and white world you won't stop banging on about. All that matters is wages. Doesn't matter if the players earning those wages are available to play football or not.

Curle was being a bit annoying though, tit for tat imo.

Old clip so not the 25th anniversary but watched this at the Odeon as a kid. Asprilla with a perfect nutter genius quadruple of goal, assist, elbow, headbutt.

Nearly 200 more days lost due to injuries than the nearest (Brentford). Over 1000 more days lost versus the teams immediately above us (Wolves and West Ham). "Every team has injuries".

Signed up on Saturday, absolutely not a chance you're actually new like.

Cursed.

What was your previous username?

No, we need to achieve a minimum of 7th because we have the 7th highest wage bill - doesn't matter if much of that wage bill has been out injured/suspended and the rest of them have been played to death. Its a pathetic argument that ignores all context and nuance, which is unsurprising given who is posting it.

Speak to people normally and stop being a prat.
