Wor lass has been sick three times already after her drinking yesterday. I’m on the sofa, reading Bob Mortimer’s book and listening to Fleet Foxes in peace. What a great result

I used to think it was a soppy cliche but Christmas really is so much better with kids. The ability to leave every family get together at 7pm because ‘the child needs to get to bed’ is a pleasure Gemmill will never get to experience.

Can confirm I suffered for it throughout the night and early hours. What an incredibly stupid bastard I truly am.

Agree with you. But there are some interesting players for us out of this two categories: Januzaj, Lingard, Origi, Tarkowski, Cantwell, Bernardeschi (Salary similar to Almiron or Saint Maximin... but amazing player who needs to play), Kessie, Boga, Freuler, Belotti, Sule, Zagadou, Ginter, Zakaria, Kamara, Corona, Mazraoui, Denayer...

I've always liked this electrical shop in Shiney Row

Is that a goodnight vienetta?

Not good-looking enough to play for the Barcelona of the north east

Gonads as smooth as Yule Bryner’s cue ball noggin

1.- No. I have never liked that book. I am not much to read about tactics ... I also do not think I know anything or am good at it. The tactic I handle best is futsal (indoor soccer). 2.- England (Salah and Bernardo Silva), Spain (Really I don't know. Probably a Real Madrid player but I will never admit to saying this ), Italy (Chiesa and Osimhen), Germany (Kimmich), Portugal (Pedro Gonçalves and Luis Díaz). 3.- Some time ago I used to follow tournaments as a African Cup U17 (or World Cup) and I know some player as Sekou Koita, Osimhen or Iheanacho that impressed me when they played in local teams (also so many that was very poor in top level like Sadick Adams or Nwakali brothers). But I am not know so much about African Leagues... In South America... Facundo Farías (Colón), Pedro de la Vega (Lanús), Gabriel Verón (Palmeiras), Matías Arezo (River Plate Uruguay), Facu Torres (Peñarol de Montevideo). 4.- Absolutely not. He was a creative midfielder, very technical, but very physically weak, who could play as a 'hitch'. Hugo Viana came from being named Best Young Soccer Player of the Year (Just before the Golden Boy award officially appeared). It is said in Jorge Mendes' autobiography that Hugo Viana was the agent's first transfer in England, that he still did not speak fluent English, and that there were aspects during the meetings with Shepherd and Sir Bobby Robson that Mendes did not understand about the everything. 5.- First time I have heard about this book.. 6.- Yes, but not many, I have to say. 7.- Three times, but in Old versions of FM seven or eight years ago: -CD Móstoles (The team of my village). Starting in 3ª Division (fourth category) and I remember when I get the promotion to 1ª División the game crash. -Calcio Catania. Starting in Serie C (Thir Italian Division) and getting in 5 years winning the Champions League (But just runner up in Italian League) -Barnet. Starting in League Two and gettint two promotions in a row to Championship. 8.- I guess.... Ashley want people with knowledge in bussiness... but not in football.... 9,.- I do not have any doubt. The team has to be very defensive, balanced and supportive. Everyone has to run to defend and be a rock behind. From there ... getting points. Tiki Taka's 'nice' game processes (Passing Game) are long processes that take a lot of time. TIme that we haven't. On the other hand, if you put up a good defense, if you don't concede goals, you already know that every game you are going to get at least one point. Once the permanence is achieved, the next season will be seen. 10.- Ok... Who is the man in the picture???? hahaha,

All clear for Christmas!

up for this one tomorrow, negative lft in hand.. half expected it being re-arranged but then it would appear we're the only team in the league expected to fulfill our fixtures at the moment despite probably being the one who could most do with having had some postponements till we could buy a defence and a goal scorer! anyway, 3rd game for me this season, the previous 2 being a loss and a draw. so I'm somewhat foolishly gonna predict my upward progression to continue and plump for a win. not sure how that'll happen mind, but you never know!

Onana wants to play for Barcelona and he doesn't mind being a substitute. He has said it many times and in fact, during the season, he visits the city many times. During the sanction he was living there too. Now that Barcelona has financial problems, I wouldn't be surprised if they sold Neto to sign Onana for free. Anyway, I had not put him because his and Dubravka's level must be quite similar.

Have to say listening to Rodgers whinge about Man City getting a pen saying there was no contact after the way he acted about the pen Maddison “won” against us is brilliant.

Then factor in all the knackers with symptoms not even doing a LFT so as not to ‘ruin Xmas’.

Anecdotally, i know about 3 times as many people who currently have COVID than at any other time during the pandemic. Wouldn't be surprised to see the numbers pushing 150k+ a day tomorrow. I suspect shit loads of people had a precautionary PCR on December 23rd, the results of which probably wouldn't have been collated until the 25th and haven't been reported yet

I didn’t drink much yesterday tbh but you know me Davey I seldom do….

"This means nothing to meeeee!"

God Bless Him. Candles and Wreaths. Perhaps Villa should have an automatic 3 points on this.

Welcome to the team, buddy

Got an actual diagnosis on Christmas eve! So two weeks of antibiotics and I should be right.

I was going to post that a while back but thought better of it

Ake is better than Diego Carlos for a mile and is better for the Style looks like Howe has in his mind. Howe are trying to play with passing game since the defence... Is very dificult to do that with Lascelles, Clark and Fede. And with Hayden in the middle sometimes. So, if you have Botman and Ake ... The thing could be more interesting. The problem with that is both are left footed. So I don't believe we can get both. Really I don't remember any team playing with two left footed in the squad at time. Senesi, the man I told, is left too. (Maybe with two of this man we can play 3-5-2).

Nor is the rest of the miserable year looking after the little cunts. PS I was home by 6pm yesterday, sucker.
