The Fish

Newcastle to win is 4/7, Bournemouth to win is 11/2. There's a good chance.

Yeah, I know, statistics are for nerds, but hear me out. Bournemouth are fucking terrible. By almost every measure. The Neolithic stuff like points (19th), goals for (16th) and goals against (20th), but also the modern stuff like PPDA (20th), xG (20th), xGA (19th), ODC (18th). Only team in the bottom 6 to have scored fewer goals than you'd expect. Only Southampton have conceded more goals than you'd expect of them. No team allows more opposition passes per defensive action (tackles, challenges, pressure, etc.) Only Palace and Forrest allow more passes within 20yds of their goal, excluding crosses In the games against teams like us (high pressing) they've given up around 2 goals a game and, Leeds game aside, they've been due less than a goal a game.

If you want litter to blend in with the pitch, why don't you just make it look like litter?

You're on thin ice, mother fucker. Thin. Fucking. Ice. (Yes that is apposite)

FYP

What have they done with the one from Spanish City?

That's a big old plot of land, isn't it?

Hell, even Stockport County have a 'Fanzone' behind one of their stands. There's stuff for kids to do, a food outlet and a bar. It's not much, but when we went with two 3yr olds it was perfect to occupy them while the two grown ups got a pint down our throats. I'd imagine a proper Premier League standard Fan Zone would be great for families and tourists and the like. Bit of club history, small club shop, food outlets, bars, coffeeshop, some football-based activities for kids.

If you pedestrianised Strawberry Place at certain times, couldn't you have the best of both worlds? Also, I'm curious, how does the Metro Station impact construction works?

Is this your work Rosco? Cos if it isn't, then I'm sorry but it's absolutely the worst fucking thing I've heard. Worse than foxes fucking. If it is your work, then it is absolutely the worst fucking thing I've heard. Worse than foxes fucking. And I'm not sorry.

There is always, always, a tweet.

We've long since eliminated those bellends.

Because their ultimate desire is that we don't do as well as we could. They could still be wallowing in League 1, selling their best player to Stoke in January, but as long as we finished 2nd and didn't win a cup, they'd consider their season a success.

Higher stands would also improve the atmosphere. Might even mean we can comply with PL instructions about the placement of Away Fans.

Have a floating stand with seat harnesses, which tilts forward at kick off, then redocks with the main stand at half time and the end of the game.

Howay the 5 storey death trap.

Less "All or Nothing" and just "All"

I look forward to the days we replace Man Utd in selling our deadwood to the likes of Watford and Sunderland for stupid sums.

Makes you wonder if those at the club had a sense that something like this was coming down the line for Man City which is why we haven't gone all Montgomery Brewster.

Who's their back up 'keeper and is he as prone to a gaff as Hugo?

Totally agree and like you say, with all due respect to Burn he hasn't the technical side of his game to the same level as Targett, let alone Trippier. So the quick interchange of passes, the vision to anticipate runs just isn't there. I wonder if Gordon could work as a wingback in a 5-4-1?

Not Bonnie and Thalidomide.
