He didn't have a defender tight to him though, and his touch gave him a great angle to beat Lloris. It wasn't close control or anything, but it set him up perfectly for his next move, which is pretty much the ideal first touch.

If you're only valuing him on goals and assist you're missing the point. Those will come, but he's never going to score at a rate most top strikers would because he's an attacking midfielder being played as a forward. He makes our team better when he's on the pitch which makes him not a luxury player.

Stoke definitely look like they're in the shit this season, could easily go down

God, that's depressing

So it's going as well as we all knew it would when Bruce was hired.

'kiin hell

Think that's just for qualification. We did the same vs. Atromitos iirc

Remember when him and Bendtner went around Newcastle vandalizing cars? Fucking professional athletes doing that is so insane. Also, rewatched the Netflix show for some laughs over the past few weeks and forgot how much of a tit Chris Coleman is throughout. Boasting about having six kids like it's a good thing he left his wife for someone years younger. Even in the clips in the show and quotes from her in papers he clearly hates being a father, won't even play with them Also I think it was McGeady who called him out in the show for not even being a coach, wouldn't provide any feedback or tactical direction at all. Just a ridiculous human being

They just agreed to another four years on Bein in the U.S., which means another four years of no one watching. Most major carriers either don't carry Bein or bury it on expensive packages. Most likely part of a wider deal to be on other Bein channels across the world, but still miles behind anything the other top leagues have over here.

Best player ever robbed of a goal

From Rafa to someone who thinks we should have four defenders on the bench in place of one centermid :lol:

Was he going to sub on four defenders at some point

Subbing off our center midfield is the new subbing on three left backs

Homegrown denotes where you were trained, Clark was in Villa's academy and Blob was in Charlton's. They're both English born anyway

We're free

If he didn't he would've scored so I'm okay with it

Palace sign Cahill. Didn't realize how inactive they've been. Surely they're down if Zaha goes

You still get a discount if you renew next year, fwiw. I bet no more than 10% of subscribers pay full price, there's promos all over the place

Honestly if they would have hired Ryder I would've cancelled my subscription

It's originally why I didn't subscribe after the first year, he's since apologized for it. Doesn't change that it's literally the opposite thing The Athletic should be trying to do. Still, it's good content on every big sport you could want and now that they've increased their football coverage, which was the one weak link imo, it should get even better. Don't think you can go wrong buying a year at the intro price and seeing how you like it

Really into their Twitter account just pretending the match isn't happening

FOOTBALL

Been a fun start

The important thing is the NYT knows where the view came from
