When I was a kid I’d have bad anxiety dreams about playing at SJP and not being able to do the most basic things - controlling the ball, passing the ball, striking the ball Elanga is living out my childhood dreams …

I haven’t been following anything around them lately - is it a protest about being a bit shit, or something deeper rooted? I know the dildo brothers were never popular

Not sure if apocryphal, but didn’t Rush say it was like a foreign country over there?

We haven’t played direct to a physical no.9 until this season, though - if this is a trend then Howe wasn’t at the front of it.

A shareholder loan won’t cover PSR losses either tbf - though the interest on it is included in PSR, whether or not the shareholder has actually applied interest or not. edit: nor will the sale of shares, nor any other type of outside investment. PSR is based upon club’s revenue Honestly, the rules are fucking crackers I haven’t sat down and worked out their PSR, but their purchases to sales ratio was about 3.5 to 1 over the summer, which depending on the profit on those sales might well mean they’re within PSR limits for the season.

Oof … Rodgers always came across as a David Brent-like wanker, but he’s won a lot of trophies with them. Which may be about as difficult as looking at fish in a barrel, but still …

They can’t afford it, won’t be able to build it, and won’t build it. Pointless empty bragging is that govt’s stock-in-trade. They’ve spent decades spaffing money and time on projects they’ll never actually build and couldn’t even if they were serious. They have succeeded in making Mecca look like Las Vegas with some of the most brutal acts of cultural desecration imaginable - so sometimes they do actually build stuff.

Theirs would be a pretty short article …

A bank loan doesn’t count towards income though for PSR. They won’t have taken a bank loan to help with PSR issues - it’ll be for running the club (including signing players)

If I’m following this right, I’m a racist if I don’t think that Osula should play for Denmark in the AFCON because it’s shite? What if I don’t think he should play in the Euros for Denmark because the Euros are also shite?

We did - and the lack of rotation last time round caused havoc with our fitness and injuries.

MOTM for me today

Blow up you cunt

Benfica are pap, like

Osula causing crazy big lad chaos

Geddin

He’s remarkably shite in the air for a big powerful lad. Cue a bullet header.

Anyone else jump then?

Every one of those are PL quality - that’s an argument that we’re failing to get the performances out of them, they’re hardly shite.

No, you can knock the hyperbole on the head. No-one is calling for that - but the ‘we don’t have a squad’ patter isn’t a good enough excuse.

Past €1bn since the takeover. More than enough to have a decent 25-man squad

Heard this two years ago - and much less sympathetic to it this season. We’ve played two turgid sides and Barcelona in Europe so far. We aren’t rotating the side - again.

He was poor, but no worse than anyone else.

Fucking hell that is a desperate header by Bruno - fucking shite finish. Open your eyes man.

Been coming that. Pisspoor defending.
