Think this'll be 2-2 as a starting point. They're basically a Kevin Keegan team but with less focus on defence. Realistically, as with Man U, this game's come at a really good time for us: we're in good form, their form's a bit iffy and pretty much their entire defence is injured, instead of simply AWOL. But... we're still away and one thing this Spuds team can do very well is attack. I'd probably still make us favourites, mainly due to their injuries, but could easily be 4-3 either way. Wonder if we'll just do the usual anti-Postecoglu tactic: park the bus. When we get the ball, boot it long over the top. Profit.

Feel like he needs a blue chip wrestler-style nickname. I'm gonna go with 'The Real Deal' Lewis Hall.

Yeah, though I trust our mods to title things properly. We don't need a thread for every team, obviously, but particularly for the most relevant ones for us, it's nice to have a resource to troll them specifically.

Dubs has definitely looked better now he's only facing one shot on target per game.

Is it just me who actually likes having threads about other teams? I mean, no-one complains about there being a specific 5under1and thread, even if it's just full of people unironically obsessing over how obsessed they are with us.

Salah pretty much never gets injured though, he's outrageously durable. Plays around 50 club games plus internationals year after year after year.

Match cam had a shot of him walking off & being substituted. It doesn't usually do that. Wonder if that means anything, or if it was just that we basically did largely fuck all but defend for the last 55 mins of the match so they needed some filler.

Had a quick google of Lejeune to see how he's been getting on. Since he left us just one injury, out for a month in September 2021 with an ankle injury. He's played 30+ league games in La Liga every year since he left us. Nice he's been able to play out his career.

Personally I'd give Krafth another year as a relatively low cost FB/CB cover. Particularly if Trips goes.

Alexander Arnold leaving Liverpool for Real. Apparently it's like leaving a super hotty for someone less hot but who has more street cred. The thesis is its sad that he's leaving a super hottie becasue being hot is apparently everything. Although if that is the case I'm not sure why he has a picture of Postecoglu as his avatar. It also assumes that Liverpool is hotter than Madrid, which it's not. Madrid is full on scorchio.

It's hard to sell off unwanted players on premier league wages. Clubs have to allocate more of the overall fee to wages than the transfer.

How have Villa done so well with a negative goal difference?

If all our players put on fake glasses for the pre-match identity parade and handshakes, reckon that might that piss him off enough to do something silly pre-match?

So is this handsome chappy getting a 1 year extension?

Can we appeal?
