SteV

They earn so much money commercially that that is never really going to be case unfortunately. Their ability to spend means they are always just one or two windows away from finding something that works and being back in the mix. It’s actually quite incredible they’ve managed to fuck it for as long as they currently have.

Not really footballing-wise, but you get a bigger share of the money pot depending on your coefficient score.

Regardless of our own situation, if we can’t gloat when the cunts are getting beat (deservedly) off fucking Grimsby, having yet again spent fortunes in a transfer window, we’re not doing it right.

Lingard’s doing a TikTok as we speak.

Tanaka was MotM against Everton I thought.

Ah, in that case, yes, you can get a maximum of two from one country, just not your own country.

No *well, there was some scenario where it might have happened, but I think it required another English team being in Pot 1

I’d say missing 7 games in the last four seasons is considerably closer to good than bad…

What were people’s experiences of Benfica last time? I missed it. One to hope for?

Ugarte will be the next one in the bomb squad. Sitting there on six figures plus, with another four years on his contract.

I’d like to think Park gets a go. Maybe Alex Murphy if the rest of the defence is senior and he’s not out on loan. Be surprised if any of the others could start, injury situation permitting.

Good draw. They will bring loads and create a decent(ish) atmosphere.

Didn’t he take pens for Leipzig? WTF was going on?

I’ll let you tell Barry from Byker that sits in the East Stand, he needs to get himself some digital ID on his digital wallet… But, yes, done correctly, it’s probably not that much different to facial recognition.

Would John Ruddy start for these?

Eddie said in one of his pressers it’s Isak’s decision not to play, so he’s made himself unavailable for selection, which is refusing to play.

Bradford about the closest away trip left I think.

Qarabag through. Baku would be an interesting place to visit.

They’ve done the pre-draw. 5 away and 3 at home.

So we now only have a 37.5% chance of being at home?

Almaty are shite like. Whilst it would be a monumental ball ache to play them away, it should still really result in three points. Celtic not scoring against them in 210 minutes was borderline disgraceful.

Putting massive pressure on him if we did. Even if we had plans to spend any Isak fee in January, we’d be gambling on him not picking up an injury between now and then. Mind you, we gambled on that at CB last season and it turned out OK, but still.

What’s his end goal in doing that though? He’s doing it now because he’s trying to force a move through. Once next week comes that option is gone. So his two remaining choices are probably. a) play this season and get a move next summer b) don’t play this season and get a move next summer Even for someone acting as poorly and unprofessionally as him and his team are at present, there’s no logic or benefit in going for the latter.

Wycombe the only team we’ve never played? Not played Lincoln since 1967 from what I can see like.

What about 2 goals in 3 mins in a Carabao Cup second round game?
