Deuce

There are enough mitigating circumstances that I can’t imagine PIF would entertain sacking Howe this season. We’d have to be at risk of relegation, which isn’t going to happen…despite the results, we’re not a bottom half team.

And two keepers.

Things would be far simpler if we could just play a playmaking 10, a bone-crunching 6, two box-to-box shuttlers, a tricky right winger, Isak, Gordon, and a rock solid back 4.

They’re our historic rivals and whatnot, but losing to Sunderland really doesn’t matter much these days. Certainly not something that should automatically trigger the manager’s sacking.

100% this

bring him hyem

Let’s be honest, Maxi would’ve had his leg snapped clean in two had he been a part of this cursed squad.

I still want Hincapie

well alright there’s one

Seems unlikely, though not impossible, that we’ll end up in a European spot. Hope we make a proper go of the cup and aim to finish top 10.

we don’t exactly have a surplus of fit players tbf

this needs more love

goddamn

ffs

Catching up on the replay. The camera angles at Kennilworth Road are jarring. The crowd cheering when Townsend’s roof ball rolled into the hole around the lightpost. It’s kinda refreshing to have a ground like this in the Premier League. A relic of different time.

Thought his shot-shopping was superb yesterday.

Absolute thunderbastard of a goal.

Missed the match but catching up on the highlights. First thing I noticed was the outstanding tackle from Tomori, second thing I noticed was that the tackle would’ve been moot had Miggy tapped it with his right. The disparity between his left and right feet is astounding.

I know many of us would’ve been content with dropping into the EL when the draw came out, but man if we lose out on the knockout stages because of that bullshit in Paris, EL isn’t gonna feel the same.

Shame too because he’s an excellent player, and also not a dickhead.
