I voted for either 8th or 9th in the above poll. Its enough for me at this point but worry if its enough for Bruno/Botman or to attract more of their ilk. A bit like the above post, its the wasted opportunity that is the concern, now we have opportunities and the means to waste them.

Have to say if this transfer doesn't go through, it'll be right up there with the time the Salako transfer didn't happen and we got Ginola instead for guttedness

Not the least bit interested in Isak at any price, much less £47m So I wonder what number he'll get. A timley reminder we could do worse than signing nobody else

Be worth it if only to slaughter each others performances.

chances are they might be stars if we sign them

Bring back Ossie. 53 goals in our first 12 games that season.

Usually finished above them in the PL era and had lost twice in ten games until Dalglish took over. Coincidence?

So just defended badly for 70% of the first-half, and the apparent "crucial" 70% at that. Teams not the only thing defending itself very badly is it

If only there was a precedent for panic mongering in a window under this regime being proven horribly wrong, then people could be assuaged.

Its totally rational like, just not an equivalent except in the sense that if you rabidly hate Saudi Arabia primarily because they mostly own your rivals, then you can't be okay with your owners being fine to do business with them too (and every other company that does likewise). The only difference is the amount of business or perecentage of ownership, its either deplorable and terrorist sympathising or its not.

Whataboutery = don't apply context to my prefixed narrative Speaking of banning context so as to live in wilfull delusion No mention of like for like gates this week? Thought not. Being as they're 10k down against QPR and the second home game.

Hope so. Will finally find out what the deal is with Conte's hair. Bloke was comb-over bald in the mid 90s. Its been bugging me for yonks

Seeing Joelinton thread near the top of the threads and shitting yourself hoping there's not an injury.

Big mistake that. Withdrawing an acolyte from final score and other media when that's the only reason this bloke gets work..

Very Chelsea v Spursy. Disappointing really.

Man City sold Sterling and Jesus. Was neither for the shit and giggles or because they're not rich

Won 6 in 28 league games, two thirds of which have been in the second tier for West Brom. Ffs just put the inept c**t out to pasture

"so how are you getting around FFP" "well...."

They did well to get the Popular Side and East Stand built when you see Leazes terrace there

The only wide player I expect an end product from is Fraser. Getting into position for ASM/Miggy/Murphy isn't even half the battle anymore. It literally means nothing, doesn't even make me sit up the ratio of even completing a simple pass in that situation is low. Think back to your playing days and how bollocked you'd get for doing that even a fraction as much as those guys.

Remember when Gillespie did one against Blackburn, was a cracker too, can;'t believe it wasn't given pre VAR. Keegan made him go and apologise to the referee. Thats the stuf.

Exactly what I felt. Wasn't anything we could do going forward that would improve anything. Only switch to five at the back or something. Were looking at Murphy/Anderson/Fraser for ASM/Miggy for tired legs v freshness really at the moment and get very nervous when players go down for that reason. Even bringing Wood on, when nobody's getting crosses in is redundant.

Think that was the other way, Southall saving from Hooper, at Goodison.

Different projects though. Building up from the scorched earth at our place versus having to raze the shit to the ground and start over there and maintain their position.
