Optimistic Nut

Cheers for keeping our head above water until the takeover, and the 22/3 season.

Danny Rose, Bentaleb, Lazaro (,I thought he was canny tbf)...

Enzo Le Fee has been made permanent now, hasn't it? £19-20m or so? So that's a large chunk of their budget you'd think that's just standing them still.

Jetro Willems for me.

Think those shirts prove that a sponsor can make ior break a kit. The fun88 one was a scar on all of them for me, horrendous to look at. Hoy on the Newcastle Brown Ale badge or even the Northern Rock & Sela ones and those shirts instantly look better.

If Delap doesn't come I'd still settle for Calvert-Lewin as a backup Something like: Trafford Mbuemo Guehi Walker-Peters Calvert-Lewin And a central-midfielder (no names stand out but I'd trust the recruitment)

Dropped Robert for the Second Leg because he said something in the press about it being a poor season.

Murphy v Palace. Unreal goal. Barnes v Wolves & Isak v Liverpool second & third.

I'm less miffed about that now, than I would have been if they'd not won earlier.

Just call it even for the Hawkeye fuck up that kept them in the league.

Without a doubt Pickford's idea, fair play.

The results against 8th-14th we should be looking at as a good thing for next season knowing there's a big clump of points we should be able to claim there once we have the 4-5 players added to what we have. Go and get a win against City or Liverpool for once, keep beating the fodder and add 10 or so points from the mid-table sides and we're laughing.

Wonder if they'll have that awful high pitch whiny din whenever they don't get a decision at their new ground?

They've hated us ever since we sort of took their place near the top when we first got promoted to the Premier League. Bitter bastards.

Ironically seemed to start when they lost 0-1 home to Everton. They never recovered from that.

I think they'll have loopholes and ways to spend huge regardless. I think it'll hurt Villa far more.

I want to add Ajax to this.

Also beautiful that they were a big reason why 5th place gets us CL as well. Thank you, Villa.

Trafford, Mbuemo, pacy centre-back the 3 priorities for me, then we really need to be padding out the quality at CM and CF as cover.

I want Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, then the weakest 2 from each of the other 3 pots. Think they're the two "elite" clubs we've never played competitively that I'd like us to see play.

The absolute irony that it was Eddie Howe who ended up getting relegated as a result of it.

Hell yes.

Diddums. Hope they crash and burn now.

Bottled it.
