I’ll put this here now, as this thread is surviving last season and I think we’re aiming for sixth. The tracker takes into account the relative difficulty of games using the assumptions described in the hidden post below.

To be fair, it’s much better than the Mexican craic ?‍♂️

I think we’re probably done, bar any waifs and strays who are available to bolster the squad. Also think there’s another surprise worldy signing to be announced! (Yes, as a kid I was often disappointed on Christmas morning).

First ‘Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda’ of the season, couldn’t decide between Rodri and Stones for my other Citeh pick—went for Stones… . Captained Isak instead of The Kurgen… . Let’s hope latter proves sensible: “There can be only one!”

South Shields? Nah.

Therapy doesn’t provide a personality transplant. Which, by all accounts, is what he really needs.

Watched early this morning (after unsuccessful virtual trip to Finland). Loved how emotionally invested Jamie Reuben was. Also, Yasser ‘ your excellency’ gadgey seems a top bloke: intelligent, balanced, warm, and seems to ‘get it’.

I’d forgotten the character’s name was Mandy ?

Well, it’s still not liking mine.

Because a message came up saying that and the episode wouldn’t open.

Bollocks. Prime can tell if you're logging on through a VPN.

Right. That’s me off to Finland!

You need to pick one game for double points(embolden or otherwise mark).

Anyone know anything about this kid? How far is he away from the first team squad? (Like the idea/possibility of having two young Irish centre backs in the not too distant future.)

Right, decided that this bunch of Mo-Fos can begin the months of misery for me this year.

Just bought MacAllister to replace Buendia.

That review… . What kind of football club/business is going to sanction a potentially muck-raking documentary which they have no editorial control over. That would be ridiculous!

Not at all sure about this: team selection and putting myself through the pain again!

Gameweek 1 Burnley 1-3 Man City Arsenal 3-0 Notts Forest Bournemouth 1-1 West Ham Brighton 2-0 Luton Everton 2-2 Fulham Sheff United 1-1 Palace Newcastle 2-2 Villa Brentford 1-2 Spurs Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool Man United 3-0 Wolves

But what about those of us who want an ‘Oor Wullie’ style tin bucket! No choice, no voice! I’m fuming.

Way to lose home advantage. Disappointing turn out and rubbish message to the team.

I haven’t heard him say the comments, the tone etc, but what you quote isn’t necessarily bad. May be positive re Howe, backing himself to grow good/great players into something even better and having an approach which moulds a team rather than slots in people who are already at the top of their game. That said, not sure every other team has a different approach and plenty would have fancied the players we have signed. So it doesn’t really make sense to me.

We defo don’t need someone in his position. Whether it is smokescreen or steaming shit remains to be seen.

Would be a bold choice and might absolutely terrorise them. It’s a choice between ‘Steady Eddie’ (don’t tinker unless you need to) Vs ‘Chess Eddie’ (who will fancy the tactical/strategy battle with Emery). I think he’ll stick with the let them worry about us approach, rather than adapting to them. But maybe the mauling by them away might change that. It’s only that away game and Liverpool at home, with the long out balls, where it seemed like the opposition had figured out how to really hurt us.

Given Barnes, Miggy, and Gordon are all getting 10+ goals this season. Isak and Wilson surely on 20+. How many are we going to fecking score!
