They said: Nah fuck that!

Fair points. Hence the on paper/what they have paid to assemble the squad comment. My observation was triggered by seeing they had the likes of Chilwell, Sterling, Mudryk, Badiashile, Chukwuemeka etc to bring on yesterday. Quite a contrast to our usual pick and mix options.

I created/posted it earlier.

Chelsea are full steam as well. No losses in six, must be best form of their season. Seems like Pochettino has finally got them into a way of playing which works. They’ve such a strong squad, on paper, and always have great sub options. I’d be leaving Jackson out for a bit if I was him.

Re-posting this for easy view of all fixtures and guesstimate of final points. Do you think you’ll end up with less than 8 points from last five games?

Onana, McTominay & Gallagher. All strong links. I think ‘we’ must want that kind of player. Perhaps one seen to be an improvement on what we have in a similar role/function for the team.

Jackson has been fucking shit.

He’s a perfect Howe midfielder. Represented England at all levels, 12 full caps, club captain at 24, covers every blade of grass. Think he’d cost too much now, unless we lose someone we don’t want to.

0-1 to relegation threatened Millwall; who had one shot on target. Tough to take.

More worried about his head being turned. Here’s hoping he is truly happy here and confident of our continued growth.

One in three in club career and a bit better than that in his performances for Slovenia (11 from 28). 6’5” and still not 21. Sounds like our kind of signing.

These rumours have been rumbling on since at least January, when he was touted as a Wilson replacement. I know that could just be wild speculation gathering momentum, but makes you wonder. Think I am starting to get the first excited symptoms of transfer musth, like a bull elephant with the frisk on!

Hope he has a weapon for the pistol range, especially now you have alerted the Croatian burglars.

Isn’t it just. Would taken me 43 places up the league!

I had a really good week and when I checked who had the highest points of the week, the lucky bugger had triple captained Foden who didn’t play. Their Vice Cpt was Palmer. 78 points!

Thought that ship had sailed. What if Longstaff was sold?

You just wanted to tell us you know what it is to be a stylish man on the Riveria didn’t you.

You and me both, fellow Cheshire brother/resident. I’m not doing anything different to last year. It’s admirable that we’re still shooting, even if we’re not hitting the back of the net.

😂

Me and a lad from The Malting House, Felling, amidst much early morning drinking, made that up before an away game. Blackpool away in the cup, I think.

It’s lovely coming across stuff like that. Memorabilia and reflections of what somebody meant to fans and what we meant to them. I came across an interview with Mirandinha (first Brazillian to play in English leagues) and when the interviewer asked him if he could recall his song, with an embarrassed look towards his child, he relayed it back; with a touch of pride. ‘Twas delightful.

I’m rooting for PSG, just so we can ‘do a Scotland’ (after ‘66 World Cup) and claim to be champions of Europe as we thrashed the winners.

Without a dodgy referring decision in Paris, we might have been the only English team in the semis! Imagine, that… no doubt with three keepers and three academy players on the bench, Paully D doing his funky thang, and Matt’s magic hat being revived at the sharp end of the Champions League!

The eight games that month, given how stretched the squad were, took a big bite out of our ambitions for this season. Lost to Forest, Luton, and Everton 0 points when we could have reasonably expected 7 points. Not to mention getting knocked out of Champions league in home reverse to Milan and heartbreak of injury time equaliser at Chelsea and subsequent loss on pens to miss out on a successive LC SF.
