Theres no way were bringing in Neymar if character is one of the main attributes of future transfers

Its all fun and games til theyre all on international duty together.

I think with ASM weve got to remember hes had a free role since hes came here. Hes been free to do whatever he likes within the (very) loose tactical system Bruce had. Now that Howe is here - our tactics are quite rigid with not a lot of room to be creative or expressive. Of course hes gonna struggle. IIRC Howe came out recently and said something along the lines of he set the team up to pick up points, not to set the world alight. Hes also not fit. He'll probably perform in fits and starts for the rest of the season. A full preseason under Howe, better players around him, a less rigid system and I think we'll see a much better team player.

No official team news yet?

Bloke to the left of the baldy bloke next to Waddle looks like Pardew

I cant see the Saudis being asked or being removed from football. As said above, if they were, youve then got to question the behaviour/relationships of every other owner - and not just in the premier league. Also if they did, what about saudi involvement in the wider world of sport and industry? As we very kindly gave the Russians time to move their assets out of the UK, if saudi money were to leave as well, what would this mean to the economy as a whole?

Thats great Total bromance.

Yes - I thought he was sympathetic to the problems that Trump faced in trying to change things while acknowledging his flaws - at least thats how I read it.

That was always blind luck as you had to be within a FUCKING MICRON of the centre of the ball based on a tiny pic. My granda used to play it all the time.

Super-League-ometer tbh

I took Mearsheimer to be pro trump from here: https://lobelog.com/bacevich-and-mearsheimer-on-year-one-of-the-trump-administration/ And I took Pilger to be pro trump from his comments here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pilger#Comments_about_Donald_Trump_and_Hillary_Clinton

Cant be arsed with an argumenmt at this time of night but its interesting that those names are all pro trump, except Kennan who died in 2005. And Hitchens is a special kind of clown.

Has owt been said about the bandage thats been covering his upper left arm? Is it an injury or is covering up a tattoo or some thing?

I would love to see that

I think we'll win this

There not gonna say if hes got the shits or owt are they

Meester Bruno

Im not sure but the running style looks like Almiron??

Goal of the season contender surely? Also - I think Big Joe next to Bruno will do a lot of his donkey work for him and Bruno wont tire as easily. Shelvey doesnt have the engine to do that.

Never realised he had such a big head.

A FW, a RW, a DM and a CB for the 1st team would be the absolute minimum, and each for big bucks. But theres also a bit of deadwood elsewhere in the squad too.

Everton

Hes an expert reader of the game, which in addition to his composure means he never has to panic or make last ditch tackles. It makes him a complete contrast to Lascelles and Clark.
