Are we just bidding for everyone now and seeing which one comes off?

Feel like we need a positive transfer thread to go alongside this negative one.

He’s done really well in his short managerial career so far, tbf. I remember he came and spoke to me as I was hurling abuse at him and Carver. He was relatively screwed on and basically said “what can we do? He (Ashley) won’t appoint a manager?”.

Was it not actually Schar’s goal? I thought I saw him get a touch but haven’t watched it back.

Vitor Pereria going to Everton would be a bit like when Fulham bought Felix Magath in. Hope it ends the same too.

Was a good tackle.

Have you thought about applying for a role in the club with insight like that?

Football fan having an opinion shocker.

I always feel like Spurs fall apart against Chelsea

Good job we’ve got VAR to stop all of these controversial decisions.

Think our songbook is really shite at the moment, certainly in comparison to previous years.

Hopefully they bring in someone as equally shit.

Brentford will get dragged into it.

25 points from 17 games to get us to 40 (in reality it’d probably only need 35 at this rate). The teams in or around 10th - 14th achieved 25 points after 17 games. It’s hardly blistering form we’ll need to survive. 6 wins and 3-4 draws and we’ll be absolutely sound.

Aston Villa haven’t really struggled after signing two quality players we wanted. Watford have recruited very early in the window despite big relegation fears. I’m not saying it’s a tricky task - of course it is. But that task has been made harder by our clear lack of preparation and confusion behind the scenes (Hammond or no Hammond, a lack of DoF or football structure, chasing players who are clearly not available etc. etc.) We should either focus on the players we absolutely want (Botman, Carlos etc.) and blow them out of the water by paying the release fee and over the odds, or we should have worked on alternative targets much earlier. Sitting putting bid after bid in for unavailable players is clearly not going to work, especially if we are putting in those reported ridiculous CL winning clauses in.

The fuck is that a pen Jota literally causes the contact by running sideways after he realises he’s fucked it. How the fuck you get a pen for that but ASM didn’t get one yesterday.

Of course he’s a WUM. He knows the fans are easy to wind up and they react to every single thing he puts out. Doesn’t stop him being right though. Fans are too thick to realise that by getting aggressively angry and responding to every thing he says, they are generating him more interactions and therefore achieving his overall goal Just calm down and don’t read it if you don’t like him. But as I said, doesn’t stop him being right.

And they had and weren’t willing to return unless there was a route for the deal to progress. That route for the deal? The only route?… The piracy. Lets not forget our own lawyers said in a court case the Saudi’s had pulled out Edwards was reporting the same facts as the consortium were putting out very publicly.

He wasn’t wrong about the takeover ffs The takeover was off until the piracy was resolved. Even the consortium were allegedly caught out with it progressing. His incorrect (likely Ashley released) Mauriss info was bollocks, but that’s the risk you take when you dance with the devil.

Every journalist is immediately dismissed on here unless it’s overwhelming positive news. Even when they are right. Edwards, like most journalists, clearly gets some right and some wrong but he’s been on the money quite a bit this January. It’s plain and simple for us all to see with our own eyes the transfer window has been chaotic and lacking real strategy.

You’ve got to fancy your chances against a team with 1 win in 14 PL games. That form is as bad as our early season form. They have an identical points total from our first 14 games.

We really should be beating these based on how awful they are at the moment. They have a cup game three days before, hopefully the break treats us well.

Some random stats thrown about in football these days “14 pressures”, so he basically ran towards the ball 14 times?

It was - no idea why it’s on first, other than the fact it’s Man Utd.
