Shitting it. Out in town from half 3. PINTS

Got my scarf that I got from Toffs about 5 years ago. Haven't worn it to the match since the Benitez days and it's got a couple Guinness stains on it but it'll dee.

Explains why they went for Emery first. What a fucking arsehole that bloke is. Reminiscent of when Pardew claimed that he scouted Van Dijk once he started getting rave reviews when at Southampton. Two cunts in the same pod.

It'll take some time to get the minutes in his legs to get him back up to full speed. It'll come. He has 2 goals in 4 appearances for us (or 3 goals in 5 appearances this season if you include his goal v Barcelona at the start of this season for Sociedad) and you can tell his footballing IQ is lightyears ahead of most of the clowns playing alongside him on Saturday.

Fucking hell, that is sexy. Diaby's pace is absolutely frightening as well.

Villa what are you doing

Bruno was a bit out of the blue. Isak was linked in July until Edwards shat on it saying the the club should rethink their targets due to the prices being quoted. We then signed him after Man City (h) when Wilson went off, Al-Rumayyan was at the game and we signed Isak 2 days later.

What a goal. Unreal football from start to finish.

Potter "Fuck me".

Love that the scarf thing is getting a bit of traction and it's being pushed, hate to be a negative nelly though but can't feel that it's going to be anything other than a damp squib. Atmosphere will be great still on Tuesday, but iirc they tried to have a similar thing with scarves in the Championship (Villa at home maybe?) and it was poor then. It was only great at Shearer's testimonial because they handed out a free scarf per seat. The cost of that for an independent fan group though makes that a non starter.

Can't see us paying up for Maddison either though I would love us to. Don't know why Joao Pedro is still getting mentioned, he signed a new 6 year contract with Watford in September and we didn't want to pay what Watford wanted before he signed that.

Same. Some of ours saying they were just herded through the tunnel despite not knowing where to go. Lessons still not learned. Haunting, dangerous stuff.

That stand should've been demolished decades ago.

Wasn't a bust up of any kind according to Craig Hope on his YT channel.

Like fuck am I watching it again

Only 4th round weekend (28th Jan) will be blank as the 5th round is midweek. 6th round weekend we'll be away at Forest.

Was the same case against Leeds. I was initially annoyed after FT as going out to a League One side shouldn't be acceptable at any PL club, but this happens. Rightly or wrongly I'm glad that we don't have a replay of this, especially if we get past Leicester and have a two legged semi final this month on top of all the other games, our current squad just can't cope.

When he's up to full speed and we have our best side out around him, we'll be reet.

Should've sacked him this time last year and replaced him with Benitez as we were definitely going down iirc.

Even after binging old season review after season review over lockdown, I completely forgot about those cup losses when we were mint until reading this. Feel better now. I'll get the Leicester thread up

Thought he was actually okay but that's against my ridiculously low expectations. One of the final parts of the 2016-17 squad that should've been moved on in 2018 or 2019 but was kept on and on and on with bumper contracts so Ashley didn't have to fork out for an adequate upgrade.

Quite poor tonight though it was his first competitive start since December 2021. Needs game time, should loan him out to the Championship.

Yeah, that's fair.
