  1. I liked your post for the first half, not the Covid part. So fucking sick of Covid like
  2. Right bunch of little bitches. Hard to ever feel optimistic when the porno bros have got your back
  3. Where do things on stand on the ‘player’ who was arrested. Did they get charged and bailed?
  4. What’s the deal with Zaha these days? Is there much talk of him leaving Palace or is he there for the long haul?
  5. Arsenal will be an interesting watch this season, they’re desperately trying to make top 4 but I can’t see it. I guess a huge amount of their success hangs on how well Jesus does for them
  6. Can we get Murphy one of those marketing brochures that Owen put together when no one wanted him?
  7. Chelsea are going to be very hard to predict this season. They’re just throwing money nonstop and some of it will stick but it’s not exactly good business. They deserve to have it all go sour based on how they’ve gamed the system for years. I think if they start poorly there’ll be a lot of pressure on Tuchel with the new owners. Will be fun to watch if they can’t get things to gel. Havertz is such a good player though so I’m sure he’ll have a good season
  8. Love how understated he is whilst also being humble and confident at the same time. There’s not a manager I’d rather have than him at this club right now
  9. That scoring was hilarious like, Bruno somehow even with O’Brien, Trippier even with Williams. Colback scoring a point against anyone in our side
  10. Both of those players need a new start as their careers have either stalled or gone backwards at Chelsea. Would be delighted with either
  11. This season or next? Love this man’s ambition. Need to lock him down to a longer-term contract
  12. I know we didn’t bring him through but I can see Bondswell making it at least at championship level. Howe’s been very complimentary about Lucas de Bolle too hasn’t he?
  13. He wouldn’t be talking about Anderson this way unless he thought that he was quality and secondly that he thought that these comments would be helpful for him. We know from the gas boys that he has the makings of something special and Howe is the perfect manager to develop him more
  14. Nah man, we’ve got the new model of big Joe. Comes with a reinforced defensive shield and a turbo rocket shot. This model also has some of the previous faults removed from the last line, e.g. kicking ball into his own face
  15. Aye, I know it’s only been pre-season but I’ve rarely felt so strongly that someone will be amazing for us as Botman
  16. I think he’s looked better than ok and I think he can play a role for us this season. My main issue with keeping him is less about the team’s fortunes and more about whether his development would be better getting 90 min games in the championship
  17. He’ll probably be desperate to make an impact and will go in hard on someone. Let’s hope it’s Joelinton and big Jow cripples him
  18. Don’t think Howe wants loan players with no option to buy, which I agree with. Think he’d only look at a temporary loan deal for a player if we desperately needed someone in, in the last two days of the window

  20. Have Chelsea decided to sack off the super league and the premier league and just decided to buy 100 players and play in their own league? Bold new footballing model if so
  21. Yeah, this was extremely circumstance-specific. I think we saw the potential damage to a rival and we saw a player who had a very clear identity and history in the league. We know for sure based on everything associated with Howe that he’s not the type of player Howe would ordinarily go for. We also know that Howe is incredibly meticulous and so are people like Ashworth so we’ll never make another Wood signing. Not saying we won’t make mistakes but nothing like that
  22. Nickson and Ashworth getting drunk into the early hours ”Just don’t know where to turn now, just feel like packing the whole thing in. You just wonder sometimes, is it all worth it? I dunno, maybe it’s just the drink talking”
  23. Players like Bowen, Antonio, Cresswell, Rice and Fornals are all players who have improved a lot with West Ham. Rice is the main one they’ve brought through but as a 20 year old I’d be looking at how players have fared there in their early 20s when they’re developing. Anyway, I can’t argue with the fact it’s all business and that numbers on a sheet are the major factor nowadays. However, if I was looking at Everton seriously I’d want to know how they fared last season, did they look like a good place to play football and develop and the answer to that would be easy to come to
