Feels nice/weird picking the right captain for once. Almost fuck all from anybody else today mind.

Four four fucking two Av it

Yeah that's the worst guess possible

And that's why he's a massive cunt.

There's a few incessant newish posters in this thread that have turned it in to an absolute fucking abortion. This happens about every 3 months though Doubtless some of them are the old posters with new usernames, and then additional ones are somehow drawn in like tongues to a window.

The head count of massive fucking doyles on N-O never drops below a handful like, it's uncanny.

STEAK BAKES MATTER NUFC

Wish he was fucking dead in the water. Safety (I'm sort of sure) I'm joking subtext.

Depends what star sign he is.

@Infinitely Content - do you mean West Ham United, or...?

It's tricky like, for sure. Especially with the blank game week 1 for 4 teams. At the minute I'm going for De Bruyne, Fernandes, Aubameyang, TAA and Werner as "premiums" and the rest are pretty average players who should start.

Just when I thought I was out, a striker from a relegated side who hasn't scored in 6 months pulls me back in.

HTT Nah, some people read the Athletic articles.

You'll never watch alone.

Fucking hell.

What a rotten bit of luck.

Sunday nights work quite well for me actually if we wanted to go back to that, dunno about others. Would be in London either of those Sundays with no plans.

Yeah the last quiz was ace, I'd definitely jump on another one. Week after next should be OK for me too, although I will be in Newcastle so it's dependent on when family stuff is happening.

De Jong again Honestly flopping for us can be a great springboard sometimes it seems

Ask them again when they've gone 51 years without a trophy of any recognition, 65 without a meaningful one, and 93 without a league title Ah right, you don't know what relative means. Of course I do. Fully appreciate that not winning everything is a come down, but complaint about not winning something for a season or two on here of all places won't get much sympathy He's not moaning about not winning anything, he's concerned they've wasted hundreds of millions of euros on the wrong players and that they're going backwards as a result. Welcome to us circa 2005...Owen, Luque etc. A better decision in 2004 and we probably wouldn't have had Ashley, Souness, Pardew, McLaren, Carver, 2 relegations, Bruce, and the cheapest transfer policy in the league You must have some sympathy then, fair enough. Only in the sense that you can see the bad decisions that they are making now could lead to a decline that may see them without a title for a few years. Their name and financial clout will see them avoid the terminal decline we saw with Newcastle, going from actual challengers (96), then potential challengers (03), then hangers on happy to be in the league (08 - present). Quite galling to see that at two points making a better choice could have seen us being sitting near the top on a far more regular basis It's all relative though, innit. Yeah, we should know our place. In the same way we should have sympathy for Man United given how big they are. Nah, Man Utd just had a decent spell in the 90s / 2000s. No sympathy from me. So how is that any different to Barcelona? Man Utd could have arguably claimed to be in the top 3 biggest teams before they started their own series of bad choices Personally it's a bit different for me with Man Utd given that I still hate them pretty much, which goes back to the mid 90s. But objectively I would also say they've been poorly run in recent seasons, and not confuse that with saying their fans are worse off than ours.
