Kid Icarus

Tempted to say it was a deal that was shit for everyone but then I remember how long Cole was rubbish at Man United for. Won't be satisfied until his career is over.

Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea Brighton 2-0 Wolves Fulham 1-1 Bournemouth Sunderland 1-2 Man United Man City 2-0 Brentford Burnley 1-1 Villa Palace 1-1 Everton Forest 2-1 Newcastle West Ham 0-1 Arsenal Spurs 2-1 Leeds Man City 2-1 Palace

Hopefully this causes emotional damage to Forest

The country's most successful shit team.

Forest have a chance if Villa bring Sancho on.

Ref is letting them off with a lot mind

If that's your expectation then fair enough, but it would be a redefinition of what average actually means.

Man United had already improved massively under Amorim, he left because he claimed he wasn't being backed.

The manager who has massively outperformed that par in 4 out of his 5 seasons isn't better than average? That's your assessment of the situation?

TBG is truly the GOAT like, fucking hell.

Go on without me Nucasol.

and Drury and Tyldesley's favourite: "perfectly poised" at half time of the most hyped and unbelievably boring nil nil you've ever watched.

Nah, what I saw all had no sponsors on. Not heard anything about what's happening with Sela though.

Definitely not fake, almost zero chance unless there were hundreds of the wrong shirt in a stockroom

I don't know why Graeme Bailey continues to have his tweets taken seriously like, it's really strange.

No one does If Arsenal actually win it man, fucking heeeeeell.

Not sure Tino's in a particularly strong position anyway tbh. Similar to Botman his injuries and poor form have possibly curbed any expectations he has for kicking on higher up the hierarchy.

Yeah very much so on here. I know because I'm incapable of not replying to them when it happens and making the same points ad nauseum.

I know you do, my point is just there are plenty who have said things and continue to say things that do disregard those mitigating circumstances altogether.

The mitigations have been ignored plenty like. It's not about prefacing what's said with an acknowledgement of them before making a point, it's about the point itself undermining any notion of acknowledging the mitigating circumstances. Eg, that Howe 'got what he wanted and then wasted x, y, and z'

That's always been his position. Like I say I think he's wrong, but I at least respect him for not changing his tune to try and cosy up with the fanbase like that snivelling sack of shit.

You're not going to get any answer from the Frogster on this that's going to be accurate man. It's like going to Elon Musk for his analysis on inequality. If you're lucky you'll get the most biased analysis you've ever heard, but more likely than not you'll just get denial that it even exists and stuff about how he and his dad had to work hard to get where he is.

Aye because he's a convictionless cunt who runs with the hares and hunts with the hounds. As much as I disagree with him, disliked him, and think he got Newcastle all wrong, I at least respect Souness for having a spine and not rewriting history. Pardew can stick up for us now that he's not being employed in large part to do the exact opposite and knock us down. Constantly playing down our expectations, talking about us like we're some nothing club who can't compete with literally any club in the league, and acting as a sales and PR man for the architect of our demise. Pardew is the Lyle Lanley of football, a conman with a path of destruction behind him who talks about it all with dewey eyed mythos. Crack him open like a stick of Blackpool rock and it reads 'CHARLATAN CUNT' right through him. Awful manager and somehow probably an even worse bloke.

Every summer feels long but post-Guehi window until now, I now realise that January 22 to August 2023 were pretty slick.

Famous last words but I think it'll be one of Gordon, Tonali, Livramento that goes, with my money being on Gordon. We simply can't afford to repeat last summer where we're doing another squad overhaul in important positions again. If we bring in plenty across the squad I think that's fine, too many in starting positions and we're asking for trouble I think. Hopefully we get our business done early and decisively.
