3W in a row, what a shambles of a league. I'm still not convinced. Cardiff will be down, then any 2 from 6 next. That said I'll go from a 9 to 7

It's the hope that kills you :/

We won a game ?

That's fair (& I definitely wouldn't put Pippo anywhere near Bergkamp). I agree context is important, my defence of Cole over Sheringham takes into account everything they offer

They're not chalk & cheese tho, both played as forwards/strikers over the course of their careers. One of whom was significantly better at doing the whole goalscoring malarkey critical to the position. 'Intelligence' / 'Craft' / 'Guile' etc and are vague subjective platitudes often but not always used to prop up lesser talents. The forward position is one that requires the least amount of subjectivity in football. Sheringham, great player as he was & contrary to the belief of some, was a league below Cole despite his apparent footballing 'nous' (which he failed to utilise in putting the ball in the net). This rant isn't necessarily aimed at you but in in the rough direction of the F365/Zonal Marking reading crowd, I await the Cantona >>> Shearer hot takes next

Imagine being 3rd all time PL goalscoring charts, being a titan at two of the biggest clubs of the era and yet be told you're not on the same planet as Teddy Sheringham, hilarious.

'Chip' huh? You know this how/because you're privy to Cole & Sheringham's relationship? Why would he have a 'chip' against Teddy, a player who he vastly supercedes in all regards? What a weird comment on your part Yourself and Minhosa seemingly typify the dregs of football supporters

Rafa, bringing back the Pardew era

Shocking performance from Hayden

What a fucking ball

5/10. I don't think it our first XI is stronger and that's worrying. A whole lot rests on how Rondon & Muto fare.

Does anyone know anything about this lad (outside of YouTube :/ )

I'm pissed about this sale, kid's got loads of talent. Another Thauvin imo

Look at these two legends on my screen, my god.

One of my favourite players here in a long while, RIP

Palace slightly threatening the Top half finish

Haaaaa! Gwan Newcastle

He's a noticeable weak link imo, that said I do like him and pretty much all of our squad

It's so frustrating because the thought of Shelvey pinging balls to Vardy, Sterling & Rashford makes me drool. Instead we'll be treated to Henderson & Dier's neverending sideways show

That's 1W down, right on target

Most bullish I've been on getting a result vs Arsenal. Looking forward to the game.

Name 3 realistic upgrades then

Fickle bunch in here Hang on, he wasn't exactly an asset up till then. True, but neither was 90% of the squad yet he bore the bulk of the brunt of our frustration as fans (not to say he's antics didn't merit some of it), been a gem last 10 games and really should be at the WC imo. This isn't the Scholes/Lamps/Carick era, current options are genuinely average
