The tackle on Haaland was a thing of beauty

Comparing his goals to his first 6 months here is retarded, he played as an 8 for most of that time. He’s now the 6, the first guy who receives the ball from the back line and looks to either play something incisive or more commonly shifts the ball safely. He’s been for that a season now.

They are just so good man, ‘weak’ line up or not. We knew that anyway though, hopefully there’s a bit more about us second half. Gonna be really difficult from here.

Aye some of our players are very quick

My comment was meant to sound a bit tongue in cheek, not sure it came across that way now

The fact this came out when he was on the brink of a move to the best club side in the world.. call me a conspiracy theorist but it’s hell of a coincidence.

Bullet dodged

I’ll say it again, the best chance of beating these there for years

Not sure a loan with an obligation will sway Chelsea, they will want the fee this summer to balance their books. 30m (25 + 5) seems to be about right for Hall, I wonder if we need to shift one or two of Hayden, Hendrick and Fraser to open up a gap in our wage bill first. Although Hall wouldn’t come in on that much, I reckon this one might drag on til the final days.

Stitched again, that’s no Gelato

Feyenoord, Porto and Shaktar please

Not quite the same as a bar of sticky concentrated sugar mate, but good all the same. With clotted cream.

Refreshers were banging, 65p a bar in coop these days where I am. Long way from the 10p days of the 90s.

Ah, a man of culture

Their injury list and us filling Villa in 5-1, not to mention the performances of some our key players in that game. Weighed in our favour? Maybe a bit strong. But this is the best chance in a long time to get a result here I feel.

Call me crazy, but the current circumstances weigh heavily in our favour. Really feel we could take 3 points here, best chance for a long time. Their midfield will struggle big time with ours.

What the fuck

He’s defo been stitched up there

Wtf

As Pirlo is my favourite player ever, you can see where the comparisons to him are coming from. Exciting as fuck.

Barella who?

Unreal start for us, pure momentum from game 1

Villa squad being butchered by injuries already

Beautiful
