Kid Icarus

This is handy. Fairly self-explanatory. Credit to TheBeaverKing on NUFC reddit.

My brain is telling me that there's a monster in The Real Ghostbusters cartoon that looks exactly like this.

Managers like Allardyce and Bruce get credit for winning relegation battles they got themselves into in the first place through being shit. Howe avoided the battles entirely for the most part, didn't get the same 'survival specialist' plaudits, but then 'took Bournemouth down' when it only happened because of an absolute freak technological failure.

With ASM I'm willing to defer his make-or-break season to 23/24.

Bielsa to Allardyce in just over a year is nightmare fuel from a football fan's perspective like. Ye Da's Atticus Finch and your mam divorces him for Onslow from Keeping up Appearances.

Howe's record vs Allardyce is P: 5 W: 2 D: 2 L: 1

And the company and industry they rely upon being almost entirely reliant on one country, who has barely flown since Covid.

Bielsa to Allardyce in just over a year. As a football fan that's the road to hell. Binning Bielsa was very suspect at the time, but in hindsight it was insane - under very little pressure, plenty of time to turn things around, all the fans adored him. Crackers decision, every replacement only made them worse.

I get you. Big missed opportunity definitely. Everton have Brighton and Man City next If I didn't know any better I'd guess that Everton and Leeds are down based on their remaining fixtures.

Not the other way around?

Maddison's so often on the left hand side of the opposition box and it never looks natural

Never as simple as that though. I think it's fair to say Leicester have got a decent chance of getting at them and beating them, especially if security's on the line.

As is Liverpool's defending

I don't rate him or owt, but I think he gets much more flack than he deserves. Whenever I catch Everton Iwobi's often the only player who even looks awake let alone playing alright.

It's not yours to give

Miles worse and more blatant than the Arsenal one. This is just obviously rude

Isak's was better but I was more guffawed by Willock's tbh

He's not very good, I've always thought his set pieces papered over some glaring cracks. Didn't want him in January '22, so wouldn't want him now.

They don't even exist. It's a travesty.

Liverpool being really good completely masked how much of a weird, obnoxious prick Klopp is for me. He's on a very similar path to Mourinho.

Maybe not unpopular, but as amazing a goalscorer as Haaland is, and he is, the Man City tax is very real and he'd need to score close to Messi 11/12 numbers for me to consider his record as being equal to or better than Cole, Shearer, and Suarez's.

Am I right in thinking that at one time he was decent? I feel like I've only noticed how shocking he is just this season

Lovely seeing Rafa's smile and rosy fucking cheeks on the PL Post match analysis talking about how happy the fans are right now. What a bloke.

I imagine some of their players will have PTSD from last season

I'll be fine when Liverpool finally draw or lose during this run they're now on.
