  1. Mbemba playing for Marseille tonight. Loved that old bugger.
  2. “A little bit neuro-diverse” ? Diplomatically said, sir.
  3. Ooh! Wait a minute, they do have an all time record!! Fair play ?
  4. Went here: https://talksport.com/football/fa-cup/183601/top-club-english-football-decade-1870s-2010s-170118224250/amp/ looking for a (hopefully humorous) ‘Yes, but….’ Sunderland were bigger and better than them in ‘190-whenever’. Failed.
  5. Must feel like a right kick in the nuts though.
  6. It’s nice to see a manager who has worked his way up the leagues, learned his craft rather than been equipped to play real life fantasy football, get a chance at the highest level. He might also help with their PR/appalling public image.
  7. Do you think Chelsea with have a ‘managerless’ bounce for West London derby?
  8. And the hits just keep on coming…
  9. Big presumption that Howe is only here for the next couple of years. I know it is a results business, but I can see him growing with us. Getting the additional experience, Neville’s imagining we’ll go shopping for, as he goes. If the relationships with ‘the grown-ups’ upstairs stay good, he’ll be here for a long time.
  10. Bias acknowledged, but I wouldn’t currently swap him for any of the above. Not based on what they’ve achieved thus far, but more to do with his level headedness, good values, the team spirit and connection with the fan base he has recreated, and what I think he is capable of. Doesn’t hurt than for the last 19 games of last season his team (who admittedly had January additions—some not featuring much due to injury) returned an incredible points total: 2.05 pts per game. We haven’t seen that kind of consistent run here in decades. Only Liverpool and Man City did (slightly) better. I know I have given him a bit of ‘settling-in’/influencing time in this stat, but it is still quite mind blowing that a team (majority of) who were clearly relegation fodder and had averaged 0.58 pts per game for the first 19, could pull out this kind of run. That has to evidence of great management.
  11. Truss wanking sounds kinda edgy… .

    Nick Pope

    Well I didn’t think there was much in it. I’d seen them both play, sooo…
  13. Hope he has had/does have other things to celebrate in his life.
  14. Swapped Mitro for Isak. Weekend wasn’t great. But time will judge I guess.
  15. Latter if he is playing both. If playing only one, then guess Isak will keep the shirt as long as he is performing.
  16. Reckon Bruno will be desperate to play. Think if only one is back he’d be my wishful pick.
  17. Guess you could score 55. Anything north of 30 is a bloody great week. I’d be surprised/asking for their lottery numbers if anyone managed more than 37.
  18. Wouldn’t be surprised. We seem to be adopting a slow and sure approach to getting who we want, fir what we are willing to pay. Guess it depends whether he is still seen a priority (given they may have other targets for next summer being added to ‘the dossier’).
  19. Gameweek 7 Fulham v Chelsea: Mournful Bournemouth v Brighton: Lamenting Leicester v Villa: Eating their hearts out Liverpool v Wolves: sorrowful Southampton v Brentford: saddened Man City v Spurs: devastated Arsenal v Everton: beating their breasts West Ham v Newcastle: really grieving Palace v Man United: dispossessed Leeds v Forest: suffering
  20. My first game back in ages too mate (MUCH shorter trip though!) glad I’m not the only one time blame for lack of goals! Glad you had a great day/time anyway ?
