adios

I think the statisticians put that down as a blocked shot? They only had 2 on target btw, obviously they are terrible.

5 shots to their 7 is probably a better indicator, albeit also error prone. Shots off target can be better chances than shots on target. You have to look at the shots individually to see the real story. Hopefully HF will show up with some heat map or whatever to show us that story. That backheel from Dzeko(?) for the first goal shows the real difference. The absolute class of their players to create chances in a pretty tight contest with few real openings.

Spot on. I have to say I'm dreading it a little bit though.

Thought it was a furry goblet.

those wellies man.

Add to that a litany of misrepresentations of what you and others have said.

You come across like you'd rather be right than have a good season.

You win, well done.

I'm just going to assume you're taking the piss at this point.

Where the fuck did you read that? De Jong and Cabella are potentially world class, and neither of them is a striker. Ferreyra for me is the one I expect to fail. I'm just concerned that the number 9 role falls to Riviere (who has impressed me albeit vs inferior opposition), in a position that he's not used to, in a tough league, and that he doesn't get injured. Given that I think most of the 14 have a recognised striker, regardless of being world beaters, puts them slightly ahead for me. A striker is absolutely vital to success this season, and more importantly it will prove CSD wrong.

It's a reply to your post, but anyone is welcome to take it apart.

I should have stopped reading when you tried to say Everton weren't in a better position tbh. Who is de Jong playing off? Who are the other two you are excited about? No one is saying the other squads are decent, just that Newcastle are very, very light without signing a proper striker. Half the players named by HF are development players.

Even Hull have Jelavic. Who other than Cissé are you looking forward to seeing lead the line next season?

At a quick glance, without Cissé returning to form, all of them.

Every one of them a racist bastard too. Surely more fun for him in the States or Australia.

Fucking Cabella man, reminds me of this for some reason:

My analogy was going to be about selling children on the black market, but I guess yours works too.

I'm always looking to sign quim.

1-0 Agree about Janmaat, Inochi.

There was genuine interplay and intelligent passing and movement. I've never seen it from him before, not even in the other friendlies. I'm not saying he's suddenly a good player, just that he actually looked like a professional footballer.

Didn't even realise it was streaming until you linked. Cheers for that. Did Obertan learn how to play football over the summer. wtf?

Honestly though, fair fucks to you if you don't care what people think. I have no idea how it drives, so could be good value.

Does any man with any self awareness seriously drive that car? I shave my head fwiw so can't throw any business your way.

Is it bigger than a bread bin?
