Joyous

Chose to take the 4 point hit and transfer both Kenedy and Slimani. Brought in Giroud and Loftus Cheek.

Genuine question but how do new residential flats look better than student flats? Not seen a decent new build, aesthetically. Plenty of them around.

5 teams can’t finish above us. We can’t finish higher than 10th. Where’s it going to be: 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th? I’ll think Palace will beat West Brom. Can’t see Bournemouth getting anything at Burnley, nor Watford at Man Utd. Liverpool will beat Brighton. West Ham will lose to Man Utd away, but may beat Everton at home. Draw at best versus Chelsea for us. Sooo, I reckon 11th with the draw by a point, with a loss on gd. Which was my preseason guesstimate. Top ten was my hope. Could still make it if we match Palace’s result and other games go to plan.

Howay man, Jamaal!

Just had a look, think we can still finish anywhere between 15th and 9th!

I hope not, he's absolutely shite. He'd be canny for a side like ours He’d definitely improve our squad. No. No he wouldn’t. Wouldn’t be on many people’s preferred shopping list (myself included) but 80 international appearances (16 goals) for a very good side and a 150 or so Premier League appearances (37 goals). He would improve us and is a realistic target; assuming we are serious about getting experienced Premier players. I would be quite interested to see if Rafa could get a tune out of him.

I think they won a League Cup game at SJP that season also. (Edit: apols, that was previous season; three in a row, marra my ansum).

Much better stats? Surprising given Cairney was Championship player of the season last year.

Won’t be long until we’re into June, wonder whether it will be as angst ridden in here this year? Don’t even know whether to bother hoping for more early activity this time around or to just accept we’ll do nothing transfer wise.

According to the article, no. Guessing you have to be really quick/organised to get a members ticket for a lot of away games though. I’ve been to three this season, didn’t manage to get a ticket the seemingly easy way for any. Two in the home end and one buying someone else’s spare ticket in our end.

“We love Newcastle we do.” (We love YOU Newcastle, we do... oh Newcastle we love you.”)

Cairney and Loftus Cheek are bound to feature in the rumour mill again. Not sure about Abraham. Expect Bas Dost rumour if we get taken over or/and have funds.

Was wondering that too. Stiles and Law the Man Utd twosome.

Madness The Specials Bad Manners.

I was hoping for top 30, think I’ve blown it though.

Brighton 0-2 Man Utd Stoke 1-2 Crystal Palace Bournemouth 1-1 Swansea Leicester 1-1 West Ham Watford 0-0 Newcastle West Brom 2-3 Spurs Everton 1-0 Southampton Man City 5-0 Huddersfield Arsenal 2-0 Burnley Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool Swansea 1-0 Southampton Chelsea 1-0 Huddersfield Leicester 2-2 Arsenal Man City 3-1 Brighton Spurs 2-0 Newcastle West Ham 1-2 Man Utd

And he’s a Weirdo who can Wave The World Goodbye once enschonced in the dark place.

Wrong deity dude.

McCarthy would be perfect for where they are at/the task at hand. Don’t begrudge them a bit of good news, tbh.

Just noticed that City and Arsenal also have two games this week. Noticed after I’d made my transfer (Walcott in for Shaqiri). I’ve also inexplicably put Salah on the bench (hat trick alert!).

Really looking forward to this. Thanks for posting the extracts.

Fucking arseholes.
