Optimistic Nut

Half wish the CL drop downs to the Europa was still a thing just to stop this from happening.

Says a lot about where his mind was at here when he can't remember managing Duncan Ferguson given it was his most expensive signing here.

Thought they'd eventually go with the 80s one after testing the water on the 3rd kit. I think it looks good on there.

Absolutely hate the fact that Barcelona could end the season with La Liga & Champions League titles the way they go about this.

That image was just bait to me. Sorry.

Been saying for a few years now, the offside law as it stands isn't fit for purpose.

This was our team.

That Borghetti one is beautiful. Like the header equivalent of a back heel. Ridiculous technique.

Any where the forward is wide of the 6-yard box and flicks it in from a tight angle for me. Such a difficult technique.

Surprised our gutter press haven't been all over those Assistant quotes, they'd have had a field day using them to go to town on Ange.

Numerous options to get through the last 4. 1. Miley/Willock/Longstaff in as much a like-for-like as they can get. 2. Gordon comes back into the XI, Tonali & Bruno as a midfield two, double pivot or whatever it's called now, and either Barnes just off Isak with Gordon on the left, or vice versa 3. Botman back into the side and we replicate how we played against Arsenal in the cup.

Wonder if it plays on a player's mind if they go to someone like Real Madrid or Liverpool for instance and win things, they're just another name amongst a long list, whereas if they stay together and do it here, they're immortals.

I hope Spurs smash them just for those quotes.

Watch Adam Pearson be the "influencer".

"Ahhh, Shola man". Probably the most commonly uttered 3-words inside At James Park. He was a dreadful footballer who stole a living here and he's got some sort of "legend" status now (was knocking about before the Cup Final, this...)

We not wanting an Arsenal win to try and nick 2nd?

He was second choice for St-Etienne in Ligue 2 and 3rd choice for Burnley this season.

As long as we're still interested we'll always likely be favourites. Agent & player probably already know terms after last year, will just be about what Palace ask for.

He probably has 2-3 years left as a top level keeper? £10-12m to give you a chance of staying up, or at least getting you back up. Would make sense for one of those clubs. Burnley would make sense since they have what we want and he's been there before.

Could see one of the promoted clubs thinking giving us what we paid for Pope as being a good deal. Meslier hasn't pushed on at Leeds, Burnley will need a new keeper to replace Trafford and he's been there before.

Would it not be the ideal time to make him number 1? He's going to come in with his confidence through the roof the way he's played. A few months on the bench might do the opposite of what he needs.

Different circumstances mind, Liverpool that season were nowhere near the level of those seasons first 25-30 games. They'd lost 9 games before the run-in.
