Can't disagree there, good post. I do think it's becoming a fair criticism if we continue to lose out on these types of deals in hopes of a bigger one down the line, but I'm ecstatic that we're not being ran into the ground by Mike Ashley now, so of course criticism is tempered by that, even if PSR gaffs and KSA being glacial sometimes can be rightly highlighted as not ideal. I do wonder what the thoughts on this would be if we're still not maximising these types of "quick win" sponsorships come say 2027 though...

How long does that hold when you're talking years of lost revenue though? 3/5/10 years?

If that's his remit he's fucking dreadful at his job.

There's a reason Staveley and her idiot husbando were told to ferk off.

Maths against us here.

In saying that Howe would probably get him scoring goals...bring him hyem.

He'll command wages not in line with his abilities on a free transfer, the guy consistently underperformed his xG, which in striker terms, means he's a turbo shit finisher. Other examples of this trait include Werner and Havertz who constantly miss big chances and are ridiculed for their forward play. He's just not worth the time or hassle when it will saddle us with this guy for years whether he's option B/C or Z honestly, we have to manage our wage structure better due to this PSR shite.

I'm all giddy, like Rachel Reeves cutting public spending type of giddy, thanks and farewell Miggy.

Some potential youth players for this; Ndiweni Parkinson Sterry Kellan Watts

You've got to think Delap would've scored a hattrick tonight, poor for Alex really.

We're playing in neurtal here, not even first gear, yeah they've had chances but that doesn't happen so badly if it's not 3-0.

Almiron in the shop window. Get Miley on please.

Isak > Shearer

We're so good I think we can probably win 6 points tonight, or at the very least a 0-0 win. #freedom

Should add older generations don't seem as transfixed by the current incarnation of the ground either, bit anecdotal but certainly seems that way.

I've always thought it's because a lot people hit their formative years watching us be very good in a newly rebuilt stadium and grew that sort of Nintendo-esque lifelong attachment to it. Now a bunch of people in their 30/40s have strong emotions for the 36 and 52k versions of St. James'.

He's bobbins. Championship quality double barreled, one paced knacker, would be 5th/6th choice here.

Martinelli looks like AI in that pic.

Bin the cunt now. Ruddy to deputise.

Lose 2-1. Howe complains in his post match that "maths wuz against us". Win our next 5.

Paellardyce living up to his name, what a gash manager.

Haha fuck off stutter step rat boy.

Not surprised Arteta or Arsenal would make that decision.

Didn't stop other players looking worse than shite. Relative to Longstaff and Joelinton today, he was good.

Deserved, glad we got a direct comparison to his competition with him playing alongside Longstaff, the difference in ability is plain as day.
