Absolute poon hound too.

Scholes, Xavi or Iniesta. Easy.

I'm interested to see if these superfans can stick with it when the inevitable happens. My guess is they'll double down.

I don't think he's under any pressure. Any pressure from the crowd is nullified by the fact that Ashley doesn't care what the crowd thinks so he'll gamble to the very end. I don't see any example of the crowd's will influencing any of Ashley's decisions. Things won't be difference this time. The only pressure will come from poor results. That is the same for any manager, certainly was for Rafa when he went on a bad run. He was big enough to take the pressure and cool enough to stick to his methods. That is where I have no faith at all in Bruce as I don't believe he has any real method. He will just chop and change in blind hope like Pardew did, and I expect to see similar results. Pressure from who? The fans? So what? It's not pressure when it doesn't lead to anything, it's just loud noise at worse. The only pressure fans can exert is by not being there.

I've just re watched it because I thought it was the pass too but Willems is at fault for this. He does not react to it at all and is also totally oblivious to the oncoming attacker.

These are the type of people who didn't realise they were crap at football themselves but still showed up in 150 quid football boots.

Rafa's start last season will bite us in the arse a bit due to the lazy comparison but I saw enough and heard enough to suggest there could still be legs in this movement. Atmosphere was dead. I'd be surprised if the missing 5k would return after what was served up to day and I'm struggling to see that improving with the fixture list we've got. Could be an interesting few months.

I think Joelinton could be an upgrade for us. He's obviously more versatile, looks like he offers the same qualities as Rondon, probably pacier but is also able to carry the ball forward which should add another dimension to our attack. Dennis Wise told me this. Yes he could, but we have no depth at CF. I'm starting to sound like I'm defending our transfer business but Gayle, Muto, Joelinton, Almiron, Maxim and Carroll are our forwards/strikers. There aren't too many teams with that many options for their front line and I'd argue that they're by no means dross. Muto is still an unknown quantity and Gayle as our 5/6th option isn't a bad one to have. You are right in theory, it's not bad but Steve Bruce is our manager. It's like taking a looker home then realising she has a cock. Disappointing. Explain. Transfer activity = looker Steve Bruce = the cock Looks good on paper but at the end of the evening, you're working with a cock. In most cases that would render the looks pointless.

Seems like the boycott is getting some traction in the media which is fantastic. Good platform to get those undecided on board.

In terms of signings, I think it's been a decent window. Would have liked a CM but at the end of the day the signings don't serve a sporting purpose so what's the point?

Sounds like a right cunt. Jim White, that is.

Some glorious punts into the box.

Have Villa done a Fulham yet?

I dunno, David Luiz has just gone for 8M, really can't see you getting 15M for Gayle. Also, you should probably have appended a qualifying adjective to Joselu too . That's always the mooted figure and seems relatively achievable given the fees paid for strikers. But even so, let's call it 8-12m. We should still be looking to get someone in who is better than Gayle by spending some money. Joelinton - Rondon Perez - Maxim Almiron Joselu - Carrol Muto Gayle Not a bad line up to be fair. Anyone proven from a foreign league is unproven in the PL and anyone prem proven is out of our price range so it's kind of a moot point. I dont see too many proven strikers in any league going for £40m. Joelinton represents a huge gamble by any clubs standards so I can't be mad with the signing in much the same way I wasnt annoyed with the Almiron signing who was equally unproven. If we were to get a CM I'd of actuslly have been happy with this window up until the point I remembered Steve Bruce was our manager. We could definitely spend 25-30m on a striker and improve on Gayle. And we have the cash to do it. 25-30m on a second or 3rd choice striker? Can only see Jiminez, Kean and Leoã at those prices. I'd have been happier if they'd bought a CM but our forward line looks the strongest in a long while, on paper at least. I preferred your pre-edit post when you pointed out that if Carroll wasn’t injured he’d be worth more. Yeh, I deleted it because the fact he is always injured made that point moot. Which was my reply until you deleted it great minds and all that

I can see why we git relegated under Steve McLaren. The man has the charisma of a chewed toenail.

Have a feeling Almiron will be a regular sub this season. Cant see bruce trying to wedge our best 3 attackers in the team at the expense of graft and proper footballers in the centre of the park.
