No but I think we would be okay at the back till the summer.....whereas we're thin upfront if Isak and Gordon get injured.

I'd say fuck Palace on principle alone. I recall Mitchell saying something like we need to be looking at Europe for better value so it'll be interesting to see if Howe or Mitchell prevail. On the face of it I'd say replacing Schar was more of a summer project but I suppose if Guehi was highly coveted as a long term replacement then they might prioritise him. Personally I'd be looking to get more firepower upfront and threat down the right, if Isak gets injured again we're fucked.

I don't get why we would we sign Guehi when Botman and Lascelles will be coming back? Especially since Palace dicked us around to the point we wasted all our time and missed out on other targets. Plus won't Guehi's stock have fallen considerably (haven't seen any Palace games though)? In January I think we will be targetting a permanent right winger, and a striker on loan with option to buy. That's based on nothing at all, so basically pulled out of my arse like this Guehi rumour. However I think Mitchell will want to bring in 2 first team players to make up for his abject summer failure.

So Bruce has been appointed as Blackpool head coach. The owner has described Bruce as "organised" and having "the desire to build a hardworking and entertaining side". Someone hasn't done their own research, he'll be gone by Christmas.

How little attention must the Blackpool board give to football to offer Bruce a paid job? To be fair they're probably too busy joining in stag dos dressed in Kiss Me Kwik hats to run a football club properly

He's just a sheet metal worker's son from Salford

Id give it shit out of 10

What a disappointing window this has been. There was plainly money to spend and we wasted all our time and effort on Guehi it seems. I can't believe there was nobody suitable available for CB, RW or a proper understudy for Pope. Somebody at the club has had a shocker and should be shot with shit. If I was Howe Id be livid.

They aren't in the promotion spots in the championship after 10 games, averaging less than 2 points a game, then they get pumped 4-0 at home by a team in the lower reaches of the division This all adds up to a team that could beat the French champions PSG, easily Sure, sure

The evidence is persuasive

I think we should all take a moment to show our gratitude to our ace thread starter. Fantastic result HTL

Just read through this thread. What an odd bunch, who seem quite culturally ignorant....god help them if they ever go to a football match (they'll rush home, put on their cardy and slippers and post angrily about profanity ruining a tippetty top sporting occasion). The funny thing is, by TT standards we actually gave them a pretty warm welcome. Anyway best of luck to them as they trek across the internet looking for a place to call home like a lost tribe of Israel. A land of milk and honey where nobody calls you a cunt or accuses you of talking out your arse. Regarding Ed, I feel very sorry for the fella. Back in the pre Ashley days when I was always trawling Newsnow for NUFC tidbits, his nufc blog was ever present in the list of nufc hits. However I never really read his site because his articles always looked like he'd paraphrased newspaper articles only in a less interesting way. Still I wish him well.

My first vinyl purchase was Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. My second was Mahna Mahna by the muppets. Strange these days to think about buying individual songs, the top 20 countdown was everything
