IMO no worse than our “Howay 5-0” and associated merch bollocks after beating ManU that is still celebrated to this day I think the issue is that's more a celebration of a funny tweet that got traction more than about being top of the league, and I wonder if anyone will remember the stop the count joke for that long. Still I don't resent them milking it fair enough

Honestly my pessimism is largely down to the longer something takes over the expected timeframe the less likely something is to happen

Yeah from what I remember he didnt do too badly in pretty awful circumstances with Macclesfield, and Southend in horrendous state. Sheff Wed may be a big step up but I don't think it's unreasonable to think he may do better in a club without quite so huge off field problems. May be disaster, his personality does seem to clash with a lot but as said the Macclesfield results weren't bad iirc all things considered.

Catts for me like

He is played out of position when he plays, he's not a wide player and he was too often deployed wide for us too. I would agree he maybe isn't as good as their first choice lineup

Absolutely awful that. Deserved many more goals against us.

Was wondering if he'd make step up surrounded by better players but think he's always shunted out wide which has never been a great position for him

Its full circle though isnt it, Rafa worked out a long time ago that Shelvey doesnt actually contribute enough to midfield, and basically gave Schar in back 3 the job of spreading play. No doubt shelvey will be back though

Hang on I'm doing an IP hack on mimms to find out for real Hmm in the UK, enhance, Somewhere in Toon!, enhance some more I knew it!

Oh man I've just realised Ashley's plan. After all this, imagine the legal action works, the league relents finally allows the sale to go through, but of course the origional price agreement is no longer valid as way later and Ashley demands double the price imagining PIF are too invested in it to turn down

I really hope the European Super League happens, I don't understand who actually wants it (have they asked fans) it feels like a terrible idea and all the super rich arsehole clubs are going to fuck off up their own arses.

I am not accusing anyone of not being genuine, and I am sure the legal team are all very confident, but I just don't want to get suckered in again to mistaking confidence from the takeover side meaning anything in terms of likelihood to succeed. I really hope I'm wrong of course but most lawyers dont launch into expensive legal action announcing they're really not certain if it'll work

What the hell is going on in here. Oh wait it's the takeover thread. It will get to a 1000 pages agian before anything happens :/

Schar will be in centre mid and then get blamed by bruce for being ineffective out of position

I see it will be darlow schar lascelles fernandes murphy lewis Hendrick almiron asm Fraser Wilson The rarely used donut formation inspired by bruces diet plan

It's because he doesn't believe in tactics, and what squad make up makes result is just black magic luck

Bruces attitude to injuries is disgusting, could damage players whole careers may I add

Fulham are like a generic team that play generic football

Possibly Schar lol

if only signing a creative mid was a priorty oh wait steve bruce hahahaha. Not a huge loss mind he has been mediocre for a while tbh.

Who doesn't tho? I mean i understand saying you may be wrong daft not to really lol. A lot of pundits know that saying the obvious is boring and not going to get any notice so just go to contrarian points and are too lazy to understand clubs fans point of view. They dont care to research and when find fans have a pov they don't understand they assume the fans dont know what they are talking about. I think however a lot of idiot fans want to parrot contrarian views on sky sports endlessly so the punditry works regardless. High quality punditry helps you understand things that happen in the game and sometimes highlight different points of view. That is not contrarianism tho, and it also rarely worth sky etc bothering with when they can just say toon fans are dumb

Thought people may enjoy a story of one of our old shit managers from the athletic

The premier league is so glorious and amazing that even existing in it should leave you in a permanent state of arousal. If you're not wanking off at the prospect of 1-1 draws with crystal palace and only staying in the league because Fulham are shite then you must be some kind of northern simpleton pervert

I have blocked everyone and just post on my assumption of what the threads are talking about
