Could it be because of the other meaning of that acronym?

Scraping from FBREF should be straight forward. ChatGPT is a little bitch and won't code it for you because it's "illegal" and "unethical". What a fucking dweeb. Been trying doing it from transfermarkt, but I've kept running into problems, probably because it's German. (Wanted to track league performance Vs wage)

What you hold up the prostitute's severed head by.

Start buying up Buckfast, I guess?

Sent his wife flowers, didn't they?

After all the shit they give us for apparently just wanting a 'name', the answer to all their problems seems to be a veritable who's who of uninspiring Brexity British managers that they've already heard of.

Those fabric covered hair bobbles, aren't they?

Yup, he had the temerity to suggest that a shit team full of shit players might not have enough to survive. The rascal.

You're right, it was on MSN Messenger.

and you use them well.

Boehly is clearly drunk. I used to have nights like that, shitfaced at 2am buying expensive shit off Amazon, texting an ex.

Blobbed? Callus Fingers? You're just making shit up now.

Does it have anything to do with Fred Dukes?

Only top flight boss to think his title is the instruction he should give to his players. "Interim"

I think if we'd lurched into the top 6 recently due to a good run of form, or shocking form from other teams, I could understand your caution. But we've been pretty consistent this season, with only really those 5 game end of January, early March where we've gone on a run without a win. Man Utd and Spurs haven't suddenly plummeted either. Like Gemmil says, we're around 2PpG, and we've been around 2PpG since the January after the takeover. That's just what we do; Eat, Sleep, Win one draw one, Rine, Repeat. We keep that up and we'll end up on 73pts, which is good enough for 3rd in an average season. Start buying up Euros.

If only everything was sorted this quickly.

Which one, they've got about 7

Your first Pro rules out your last con. The financial rewards for being a Champions League side with momentum behind us cannot be overstated. Rather than the modest uptick in sponsorship that a midtable 'big club' could attract, on a par with West Ham or Everton say, we can justifiably expect shirt sponsorship that is commensurate with Spurs. We can also expect official travel partners, official energy drink partners and that kind of thing. The extra money from Champions League tv is massive too. Not only can we attract better players, we won't have to sweeten the deal quite so much as we can offer elite level football, rather than just an extra £10k a week in their skyrocket. It may well impact our fairly small squad when we get to the business end of the season, but the early stages should be manageable with the younger players we've been signing like Ashby and our son-to-be fringe players like Murphy. Your second Con makes me think of Potter. Rumours are that a lot of Chelsea players didn't really know who he was or what he had achieved and thus never took him seriously. It's different with Howe, he's managed to get genuine stars like Bruno and Botman and Trippier working together to drive the team forward as a collective, the other thing to consider is that our recruitment has a strict No Arsehole rule. Anyone we sign will have to be the kind of player that would gel with the existing squad in terms of application and Non Arseholeosity. So dry your sheets mate.

I think I fucked up, Alex Yeah, you did mate. You did fuck up.

Such a weird game, both defences were below their standards, difference is of course our standards are high as fuck these days. Thought Rice looked quality and it's a shame we're not two or three years further down the line as he'd be an unreal addition. Paqueta looked industrious and shows glimpses of quality. Antonio lead the line well, but those three aside, West Ham were pretty poor. The third goal killed them off, the timing, the forced error and the ease at which Wilson tucked it away. Genuinely thought Bowen was going to rinse Burn all game, but he sharp became an irrelevance. Probably Burn's worst game in a while, defensively. Botman and Schar looked a little shaky too. We didn't control the midfield as we have done, but honestly, I think that's more down to Rice than anything else. Reminded me of the Brentford game where the Bees just decided to gift us a few goals and we ruthlessly punished them. 3 point ahead of managerless Spurs, with a game in hand and we get to play them at SJP. Win that and we can start planning trips to FC Plovmadov.
