League table looks real good right now..

Fucking Joe

Oh shit

HES DONE IT AGAIN

Trips your time has come

Manqy solid as fuck so far

Ughhhh

The real question is whats he like on football manager?

Trippier gets the armband, you love to see it. Really interested to see how Burn/Schar pairing works and not suprised he kept the same 3 in midfield, maybe we'll see Bruno get a bit more time today though.

New to the league, country etc. I think its pretty reasonable to think he might need to be bedded in over a couple of weeks.

The mental gymnastics that mackems are capable of is honestly scary

The Simon Grayson one always cracks me up, remember when some of them were saying they would rather have him over Rafa?

Not sure how they thought Keane would ever work anyway, have not they seen him lose his rag with poor standard premiership footballers on tv? Now imagine him in charge of a team of league one shitters

Fuck sake, hopefully hes fit

I honestly think 32/33 points might even be enough this year, obviously a lot can change yet

Under Rafa we saw those kind of attributes exactly, the only difference being he started.

I still think he can have a big role to play coming off the bench especially when we are trying to protect a lead, his energy and carrying the ball is made for that role of relieving pressure and giving us time to get back into shape. But the other night Howe brought Murphy on so maybe it’s not the way Howe sees him, quite a niche role as well and if I was Miggy I might want to go elsewhere to start.

Yeah, he’s just not suited to this back 4 we are playing now. He would fine in the middle of a 5 but it looks like that’s not the direction Howe wants to go, side point but I know Lascelles is limited and people have got on his back as he seems to be one of the scapegoats when things arnt working but put a good partner next to him and I think we’ll see the player that he was under Rafa. It can’t help being partnered with someone who’s not a back 4 CB.

Depending on outgoings I think we’ll see - GK, LB, LB (Targett), CB (Botman/Carlos), DM/CM, RW, ST

£12m for him honestly might prove to be one of the best value for money deals we’ve ever done in 2/3 years time.

That Alex Neil looks a decent choice for them but it won’t matter because so many of them will be on his back so fast as soon as they hit a bad spell ‘it shoulda been sewper hard keeno marra’

Happy birthday Miggy

Sums Zaha up, scores a banger and then hits a shit penalty right after
