Kid Icarus

Inspired by the girlfriend thread in Chat, and by recent daft things that I've heard from non-football fans. Two identical conversations I've had in the last two days. "How did Newcastle do?" "Absolutely class, we won again and finished 11th" "Out of how many?" "20, but we were 19th not that long ago and have massively turned things around" "That's not very good is it?" Fucking idiots.

There's a star maaaaan

Salah vs Man City for me. Kovacic's is a bit frilly innit.

I thought Targett's header off the line was canny like, but fucking hell

Can't remember the last time we were all so unified behind a manager. Probably when SBR first came in. He's absolutely class, I love everything I know about him so far. Not least because he doesn't buy into any notion of the individual or him being a Messiah. It's all about the collective. As a result he doesn't seem to being looked at in that way Keegan was, while still being really well liked and having us all behind him, his team, and the players. That's a much healthier relationship imo and we'll hopefully be all the better for it.

I was with him right up until 'compared to The Beatles'

Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Improved Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Disappointing Player: Chris Wood (but still appreciate what he did do) Signing of the Season: Bruno Guimaraes Goal of the Season (feel free to rank your top 3): 1: Bruno vs Southampton 2: Trippier vs Everton 3: Joelinton vs Brentford (away) Game of the Season: Arsenal (Home) On the pitch Moment of the Season (we all know the takeover was the off-field most important): Cieran Clark getting sent off against Norwich, forcing Howe into converting a widely regarded flop striker into the most dominant box-to-box destroyer in Premier League history Manager rating out of 10: 10 Season off rating out of 10: 10

It wasn't that long ago 4th looked very much within Wolves' capability and we looked hopelessly dead and buried. Fast forward to the end of the season and we're finishing 2 points behind them. Outrageous.

Doubt it'll continue into next season anyway tbh, but we're massively asking for trouble and seemingly haven't learned anything if the most popular suggestion is to have more police.

Dubravka - 7.5 Trippier - 7.5 Lascelles - 7.5 Burn - 7 Targett - 8 Longstaff - 7.5 Murphy - 7 Bruno - 7.5 ASM - 7.5 Almiron - 7 Wilson - 7.5 No bad performance out there really, just thought Targett was slightly better than everyone else

Oh joy, I was worried for a moment that the team who win the league by default might not win it this season.

Very professional performance. Unlucky to Burnley except Ashley Barnes, but they barely put up a fight there like. Had a feeling Leeds would summon the chaos and win.

I fucking love Matt Targett man

I'd never underestimate the levels that teams are capable of when they're fighting for their lives like. I fully expect a professional performance from us, but Burnley aren't that bad at all when they try and play.

Yeah any match recently and you'd think it would win or be joint 1st considering there's a point in it.

Never liked Mick Lowes. Even in the very limited experience I have of him, he seemed like a massive prick. Propping up the bar in Shearer's, calling the Ashley Out campaign pathetic, then refusing to get up and go to his taxi until it parked on the nearest side of the road.

Mbappe's now overrated by default because of all this nonsense like. Wonderful player, but Jesus wept.

Yeah, pretty much everything except black, brown, grey, white, or yellow/gold would work I reckon

Almost certainly not going to happen, so it's one or the other really. Or pick another bright colour.

Who really ever predicts either of those teams losses?

The fact we still have stripes all the way down is a good indication we'll still have red numbers imo. If you're going to have stripes you need a bright colour to offset it and make it readable. Would hate to see us go back to having a square patch on the back to accommodate white numbering, especially when (imo) the red looks great.

Wonder if there's some sort of loophole that can be used when you don't have a sponsor? Total guesswork like

Don't want to sign him because of all the absolutely shan patter it'll provoke

Probably worth factoring streams in as well. Don't know the figures, but generally speaking if people want to watch the 3pm kick offs they will

It's because I'm perservering to try and make the first post happen.
