there’s a chucklesome phrase you don't see everyday

Gameweek 28 Leicester 2-1 Stoke Bournemouth 0-1 Newcastle Brighton 1-1 Swansea Burnley 1-1 Southampton Liverpool 3-1 West Ham West Brom 1-1 Huddersfield Watford 1-1 Everton Man Utd 2-1 Chelsea Crystal Palace 0-2 Spurs Arsenal 1-2 Man City

Spanish cockney, ‘in’ it. Julio Geirdio meets loadsa money.

Is that not his sister, Allanna? Named in honour of the golden child of the family; would make sense of his self-centred entitlement.

I wonder how long they’d need to be in the third tier before kids start supporting their regional capital Premier League side?

I think the home strips always look better when there is proportionately more black (shoulders, collar and cuffs etc. Creates a better visual border). Love the red numbers too.

Might come back married to a nice Italian girl, who will help him realise his potential (talking outside the bedroom here, chaps).

So sad, what a shame, never mind

Southampton look beaten to me. They’ve done well, tbf, to hang in as long as they have.

WBA, Southampton and Stoke or Huddersfield, for me. As others have said though, it is so unusually tight that anything could happen. Decent spell and winning our three most winnable home games and we could be up between 10-12. Without that we could be in the mix and in the mire. I am leaning towards the former though. And on that note, I predict an 11th place finish comfortably above the other promoted sides (chalking that as another NUFC competition win!)

Reckon he is just trying to fit in with the Manc dress code (of old).

Fair enough B&W, that never 'dawned' on me

What a diamond. Man, player, manager. Hope he’s having a great day.

All of our 'storms' tend to be genuine

I somewhat agree with you (see my previous post), but you do seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill Nah, it's just that so many people are quoting my posts and I'm responding back. I don't think there's much over the top. I'm not even that angry. Me neither, as it happens. How should I be are you feeling??

good on him.

Totally agree with you Quakes. Fuck that society lot! Hate those snowflake cunts.

N-O group think...God help us! (...just checked to see if I was using the right term.) Groupthink: "Occurs when a group makes faulty decisions because group pressures lead to [get this!] a deterioration of mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgement... the group ignores alternatives and tend to take irrational actions that dehumanise other groups. A group is especially vulnerable to groupthink when its members are similar in background, support the same team , and are insulated from outside opinions. Can manifest in unusual sporadic use of shared language, like excessive use of the word 'walk' in transfer windows. " [spooky!... I may have employed a little poetic licence for the bits in italics.]

Knowing what we know about Rafa, it’ll depend how he is showing in training.

Three, likely to be, must win games before the end of the season: Southampton, Huddersfield and WBA at home. Anything points wise on top of that is a bonus, though surely two or three draws or another win on top of that is within our grasp.

I’m thinking West Brom and Dourhampton (typo, but I’ll leave it!) to go down. Plus, hopefully Huddersfield.

Well here’s hoping for another narrow victory. I think they’re due a home defeat. In that given their quality four home wins in a row would be unusual.

They have played 13 home games. Won 5, drew 3 and lost 5. Yep, , missed-out the August games: lost to Watford 2-0 and Man City 2-1. So LLWDLWLDLDWWW.

In their home games this season (most recent first) they beat Stoke, Arsenal, and Everton all 2-1, drew 3-3 with West Ham, lost 4-0 to Liverpool, drew 1-1 with Southampton, lost 2-1 to Burnley, beat Huddersfield 4-0, lost 1-0 to Chelsea, drew 0-0 with Leicester, and beat Brighton 2-1. So played 11 won 5 (four 2-1 wins and a 4-0), drew 3, lost 3.

Tick-tock... only a matter of time.
