Kid Icarus

His record shows he has like, as hard to believe as that may be

I know most probably don't like to see this repeated, but when we signed him that was Chris Wood.

Bruno Guimarpez

Arsenal. Better goals as well, only thing really missing was it not being a night time match. And a win obviously.

If it meant getting Harrison I'd definitely go for it. Fraser is easily a good enough backup for now. Him being lumped together with Murphy is crazy

Feels like it's a rumour nicked from FIFA tbh, they always try and sign him on every career mode I've played

Absolutely. I can easily ignore him like, it's people sticking up for him that rustles my jimmies

In Edwards's head if he doesn't know and none of his contacts know, nobody must know. And I don't mean that facetiously, he's that self-important.

I bet he loves Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom and thinks it's about him and the work he does.

Who's arguing against that like? It's Edward's glaring lack of foresight that's put into focus with that scenario, not lack of fan awareness or intelligence as you put it. When he's for example arrogantly arguing to the back to teeth that the budget is X and people are saying he's naive, ridiculous, negative etc or they're coming up with justifiable reasons why he's wrong and the budget will be higher, he doesn't still get to keep claiming he was right all along by shrugging and saying 'things change'

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

I said I get the impression that they do, which I do - whether they're playing along with the joke or not is by-the-by, the point is that the dislike for Edwards isn't an exclusively N-O thing. No idea why you're simping for him tbh, I think many wouldn't have a problem with him if despite being personally unlikeable he was a professional with a good track record, but he also has a very poor track record (The takeover, Bruce, Botman, Elneny, Nketiah, looking like Joao Pedro) which gives his arrogance that extra undeserved edge to it and makes the defence of him look a bit odd.

So far they're these, but they might change: Gameweek 29 Gameweek 34 Gameweek 37

I'm all for a bit of N-O bashing, but let's not pretend that Luke Edwards not being respected amongst our fans is an N-O thing or that it isn't without good reason - personal and professional. Even at talk ins and when he's a guest on podcasts you get the impression that even his fellow journalists find him insufferable.

What a load of shite LFEE

This is kind of what I'm getting at mate. Edwards might be technically right now, but if what he's saying is wrong by tomorrow then I'm going to chalk that up to Romano having known about it, not Edwards stating the obvious.

...and Botman, and our budget. Has he ever broken anything?

Think you're doing exactly that there tbh. There's nuance to this and I think you know that. One thing's for sure now though, Romano's either full of shit OR he's a tap-in merchant, but he's definitely not both. Contradicting Brighton (Cucarella) and Howe (João Pedro) are the exact opposite of tap-ins.

Brighton were right about Cucarella until they were wrong.

Why the reaction? Isn't it just the normal thing to do to scan a player's hamstring if they said they felt it at half time?

Yeah, I'd pay that now. Had previously thought it was too steep, but in the context of other transfers going on at the moment, his record, the form he's started the season with, and how well he'd fit in the team, it seems perfectly reasonable now. I'd go for it as well, I really rate him.

Not to give rivals tips or owt, but you should be able to undo it and save your triple captaincy for a double game week if you wanted to.

Hope!?! Even then, João Pedro? He's sticking his neck out in contradiction with the local journos you claim we should hold in higher regard. Lucas Digne? Cucarella - a case of his catchphrase being more reliable than Brighton's Twitter account. It's clear that you've got a weird dislike for him that's warped your sense of reality.

He gets them an assist or goal every other game you nutter.
