Kid Icarus

Apologies for this not embedding with it being the mobile link, but I thought this was a really interesting watch. The Liverpool fan makes a lot of excellent points about us and the parallels with how Liverpool grew with Klopp. His argument that our metric as fans should be about points not end position is spot on imo. https://youtu.be/fdT6Jw7AwF4

Fulham 1 - 1 Brighton Palace 2 - 1 Brentford Southampton 1 - 2 Chelsea Leeds 3 - 1 Everton Bournemouth 2 - 0 Wolves Arsenal 4 - 0 Villa Man City 6 - 0 Forest (double) West Ham 1 - 2 Spurs Liverpool 2 - 1 Newcastle Leicester 1 - 2 Man United

I love it when we get to this stage and everyone sounds like my Nana talking about her neighbours

I agree that the devil is the details and context is everything, I'm just not sure the context is anywhere near different enough for Rafa to have been justified and Parker not.

Is it really all that different to what Rafa used to say and that we as a fan base overwhelmingly backed him to the hilt on?

Were they really though? I think I've just read them all and they seemed fine. Sacked after predictably losing to Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal, but beating Villa. Ridiculously harsh.

Paqueta looks like the most obviously good player who ticks so many boxes and is at a very high level. Just like with Bruno, it's puzzling that no one pulled the trigger on him.

Wish Adidas would bring back the shell. That aside their kits are class at the moment

I'm just pleased that it's almost over tbh. My work is going to improve immeasurably from next week

We need two. One to undo the Paqueta to West Ham thing and another just to have a positive.

What a miserable life to live Just as well your opinion's an unpopular one up here, I'd fucking hate for us to be like Wolves

Toodaloo daft cunt

On the copium

Garth Crooks is insane but the team of the week thing is meaningless really, he's just finding a way to pick the best players.

Becoming a cunt yourself isn't teaching anyone a lesson, you just become the same as them and everyone loses.

Because treating cities as a monolith is infantile. I love pre and post match craic with opposition fans. Aggro is for cunts.

I would hope for his own sanity that he doesn't believe that. It's like getting turned down for a quid then asking for a fiver.

The above image is Kurt Zouma and the red circles are cats in his area.

You could spot who hadn't been watching him properly when they claimed he didn't pass or use the overlap from Targett/Joelinton. He was doing it loads at the back end of last season.

I bet there are Forest fans that will struggle to name all of them and not because they lack any knowledge. It's ridiculous like, beyond the sort of stuff you do on FM/FIFA.

Exactly, there's no advantage greater than a penalty unless you actually score

Wish Paqueta would just sign for West Ham now so I can draw a line under any grains of hope I have that we'll hijack it.

Yeah, I said it at the time of signing Pope but if he's resigned himself to being number 2 and has no fight in him it's shit tbh. Add to that that he now wants to go and be a number 2 somewhere else so he can play a few games in Europe then it says a lot about his character at the moment. He owes us nothing though, he's been great. Likewise though, we owe him nothing either

They controlled the game in the sense that we used to with Rafa, where they shut everything down, give up possession and for the most part never look in any danger. What can't be explained is just how often they gave the ball away and why a team with players as good as their's is playing like that in the first place. You look at their line up, think pffft this is going to be tough, then the match starts and they're pretty shit. Bruno starts that match yesterday and we win it imo.
