  1. Pretty much the same sensible but bad choice. Except used a wildcard.
  2. Hopefully no change to remit. That is the kind of shit—removal of influence—that can signal the beginning of the end. Think Keegan 2nd term. You have to trust and defer to your experts, if you want them fully engaged to ‘the project’.
  3. Point stands. Would you want to craft a team with what you’re given or with what you choose?
  4. Given the amount you have spent to build a squad, the huge world profile of the club, and the continued eminence of your near neighbours, I imagine it feels more like the place where the once probable seems frustratingly out of reach.
  5. As it should be. He has the expertise. Any manager who backs himself would want control of such decisions.
  6. Our best performing PL era managers. Even given recent disappointments, not too shabby work from young Eddie.
  7. Thought it might be helpful to compare EH’s record, to date, with our most successful PL era managers. League games only. Season by season breakdown in the spoiler (*end of season position shown in italics/brackets for partial seasons).
  8. That was soooo painful to watch. Then I remembered 1995-96, particularly our home game, and I smiled through the remainder.
  9. I’d respect your opinion more if you decided it was all the hoarding’s fault, stripped naked and kicked the fuck out of it.

    Dan Burn

    It’s one of our centre backs that has been done for pace, leading to a goal, two games in a row now. Shame we don’t have one of them with pace.
  11. Good job we have Karius in reserve… .
  12. It’s just boring now. Burn blah blah blah is all I process. He’s more than earned a little patience.
  13. Absolutely loved seeing all those moments lined up. What a season he’s having, and in difficult circumstances given the absence of big hitters around him much of the time. Think how good could he be next season!
  14. Gameweek 25 Brentford 1-2 Liverpool Burnley 1-3 Arsenal Fulham 1-0 Villa Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth Forest 2-1 West Ham Spurs 1-2 Wolves Man City 2-0 Chelsea Sheff United 1-2 Brighton Luton 3-2 Man United Everton 2-1 Palace Man City 3-1 Brentford Liverpool 2-0 Luton
  15. It’s that tucking table tennis/football thing they play. Lethal! edit: Howe probably makes them do it anarl!
  16. 1. Make offsides easier to determine. So unless the attacker’s torso is ahead of the defender’s (clear daylight/gap). It’s onside. Still prevents goal mooching and hoof ball. 2. Prevent academies and centres of excellence signing kids from overseas/out of region. Non-regional players only come in at full contract stage, over 18 (or 21) stage. 3. Keep technology to aid referees’ decision making, invest in improving the timeliness, validity and reliability of judgements. 4. Let clubs sign some players they can afford to but limit numbers to 25 of over 21 players in squad, by including any on loan.
  17. The most punchable of faces, and not even as tall as Dan. It’s a no from me.
  18. It is shit though. Both teams on the rise, with potential to elbow their way into the usual Champions League cadre. Both disseminated by injuries and unable to use January in the way it was meant to be used. I know 11 random injuries, doesn’t stop 4 ACLs from aching ?, but despite hard cup draws and the group of F, we would have progressed from the CL group stages and our league form—particularly against bottom quarter teams we should be comfortably beating—wouldn’t have taken such a nose dive if we had had an actual first team squad rather than (just about) a first 11.
  19. Certainly the right age and skill set is a good fit.
