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

Great to see Tonali in from the start, speaks volumes on what Howe must see in him. Gonna be a good game this.

Watkins thing might be some last minute mind games

That reveal video is bad on so many levels

Enjoyable but very much the same as you’d see from other docs like all or nothing, not that we’d expect anything different. Cool to get a little inside look into some of the people behind the club though.

As always, wouldn’t read to much into what Howe says publicly about transfers. It’s usually smoke and mirrors as we’ve seen time and time again.

What times it out then?

To be fair I don’t think that’s unique to here, it’s pretty consistent across all the football forums I look at personally.

Eventually this will sink in for the vast majority of the fan base I think, once everyone sees how good Gordon is and how well he can potentially function in our system it will open some more eyes. Taking his age and circumstance into account (only been here a short time and has had limited minutes) you can only imagine how much room he has to grow here.. he is the player that excites me the most as far as how much he can improve from here.

Think that’s a step to far FFP wise for this window

Interesting signing, obviously supposed to be the replacement for Rice. We were linked with him multiple times I seem to remember.

One or two full seasons of consistent game time and it could all look completely different again

Not sure why a lot of people expected LB to be priority over RB, there was far less depth across Trippier/Krafth/Ashby than there is in Burn/Targett. Makes total sense that it’s a RB.

Expecting £30m with significant potential add ons. Great business, significantly strengthens our back line depth.
