I don't see our midfield struggling at all in this game. I see our forwards struggling to get the better of a shawcross marshalled defence and our defenders struggling to contain a much more expansive Stoke front three than in previous years. Still think we could squeeze a win if everything goes well.

Trying to prove a formula between money/managers/success is like nailing shite to the wall. There is so much more going on in football than that, it's a simplistic view that changing manager or spending more makes you successful. Pardew was consistently shite however and he should never have been near our club.

Has this week been the best of your life?

Aye. I can't sleep thinking about the random world "news" the guy is going to post next.

Kane Vardy Sterling Alli Barkley Dier There's a front 6, make teams worry about us for a change.

There are all shoe horned as fuck like, was it a pre-requisite to play that formation? England matches interest me even less than the cups nowadays anyway.

That I agree with. It's tough to talk money in realistic terms anymore with regards to football. Personally think the 80 million "massive" spend is gambling. Gambling being in on the huge pie of next season that would dwarf the spending. I hope the premier league and champions league eat themselves tbh.

Isn't Haydn about 15? It's mental to expect someone of that age not to stream/download. He apologised for the spoilers and went to the GoT thread no questions asked.

So I am talking utter shite but you agree with me? Canny

The rest of the league has moved ahead of us because they have spent consistently whereas we made a profit for years (off the top of my head) and did nowt with it, just to spunk it all in one go. By spending consistently you have a chance to bed players in for a year then improve again the next year, we buy 6/7 players in one year and wonder why we are still shit.

How hard is it to understand if a club spends 20-30 million four seasons in a row while we spend nowt then spunk 80 in one go we aren't going ahead of them, we are catching up to them.

80 million is fuck all when we have spent fuck all for 10 odd years. You need to spend 40 a year just to stand still man

Thing that is bothering me is that everyone wanted players with "fight" and "heart" and "Englishness" and all those other cliches. So we bought Shelvey and Townsend. Both have one of those qualities.

I specifically wanted a bulldog and that's what they cost

It's standard for a bulldog like

Sorry, I don't understand

Fucking dog was 2k I'm not giving that away

Back in my youth I had a taste for ket. However once on a night out after doing enough to down a large horse I woke up in my mates gaff and we had fallen asleep drinking sweet tea, holding hands. Ket hole indeed.

I doubt that they would offer a bloke a job three times, give him a place on the board and then sack him.

Not gunna pretend I have seen anything but the motd highlights, because apathy. There were 4 individual errors there for their first 4 goals. McLaren might be shit, our owner is definitely shit but you can't legislate for stupid shit like that.

Yeah I do mate, cheers

I made our lass sign a contract saying if we broke up the dog stays with me. We have had a tough time with her due to her health issues but still the best thing I've ever bought.

Been to these two places, http://beermoth.co.uk/ and http://butchers-quarter.co.uk/ Spent about £30 on some nice German beers and some pork spare ribs, yes our lass is out later.

Has this ever happened with a professional footballer before? There is sadly a fair few accused of rape, but proper noncing?

Also 80 millions is bog all really when taking in context with previous years of minimal outlay.
