I honestly don't think I've anticipated a league game as much as this is a very long time. Probably since Howes first game tbh.

Even now? If so, I kind of respect the hustle

If Howe was to disappear off the face of the earth randomly, there are only 3 managers in the league I'd be okay with replacing him, not happy, but I wouldn't be against it. Emery, Iraola & Glasner.

Was just going through the thread again and came across this beauty again from last year

Eddie Howe: Howe. Top Tier: Guardiola, Slot, Emery. Quality Managers: Iraola, Frank, Silva, Glasner, Arteta. Average: Hurzeler, Maresca, Nuno, Moyes. Satisfactory: Amorim, Pereira, Le Bris. Poor: Potter, Farke, Parker. Unknown: Andrews.

New season Bump.

Just a reminder... After every bad result, Russel Martin goes home to Lucy Pinder and the loss goes straight out of his mind.

Good.

Wew. Villarreal 4-0 up on Girona after 27 minutes.

Are there any links to a CM at all? Other than non-starters like Baleba?

Man United seem like they're going to be a very bi-polar team, in the first 10 minutes they looked quality, moved it around with ease, and created chances, but as soon as Fulham put more legs in the middle, and made it compact they really struggled to create consistent chances. The system they play also relies heavily on full-backs, and Diallo, while good, is an out and out winger and doesn't have the defensive knack for the role, and Dorgu is just shit. It also massively limits their best player by keeping him back in the midfield two, and stops him from doing his best attribute of creating chances. Their keeping situation is also dire.

Not that anyone asked, but here's Troy Deeneys thoughts:

Other than Jak Alnwick, I don't think I've seen a worse keeper at dealing with set-pieces than Byandir.

Phahahahaha

Get fucked, 2 minutes beyond when it actually took place

Did you roll down your window and call him a cunt?

Just seen the Everton Vs Brighton score. I've not watched, so I may be wrong, but I swear every year people overrate Brighton, I've seen some people predict that they'll finish top 5 this year.

If Nuno does get sacked, I could see him at West Ham pretty sharpish.

Rangers losing to St Mirren

They're turning on him, about 1000 different thread have been created this evening about Bruce on that Blackpool forum https://avftt.co.uk/index.php?threads/bruce-out.64048/ https://avftt.co.uk/index.php?threads/where-has-it-actually-gone-wrong-with-bruce.64079/ https://avftt.co.uk/index.php?threads/5-steves.64077/

Ridiculous amount of empty seats here for a team 4-0 up.

Never trust promoted teams winning on opening weekends.

What terrible defending.

That's about 3 years old
