The Fish

Everton SsssssssUCK I genuinely can't see where the next win is coming from, even if they do replace Lampard.

Come on, get on board. Nowt better than acorn-y joke.

Yeah, he had a role in the goal, no doubt, but I'm not sure it needed highlighting.

Even he should be able to achieve "Don't spoon one over the bar when put clean through against a League 1 side."

Jesus Christ that's a deep cut

It would have 2 B

You cant get pills for that mate, but more often than not it's psychological.

Had to google that. I respect your work.

They've signed Weghorst because he's available, cheap and fits their style. Man United could afford to drop £100m on Harry Kane in the summer, no problem.

Sure, could be, but Kuol was like, £500k, this lad is >£15m.

No idea, Franca doesn't sound like he's a million miles off Wood's place in the squad; 3rd choice, bench ready. I don't think we need to sign a striker that's ready to start, we've already got 2 of those. Ready to play? Sure, but this kid could be that.

I don't think we have a 'notable supporters' page. Even if we did I don't think we'd include Elliot Anderson as a notable supporter though.

You lot are going to put me in one of my sour moods. On a Friday, as well.

Fucking children. Quote ... Matheus França’s game is built around his intelligence. Through his movements, vision, awareness, and more, he is able to be very effective in the attack. Quote ...While playing as a centre-forward or attacking midfielder, Matheus will find gaps within the defensive organisation to receive the ball before progressing it further. Quote Just as in earlier stages, Matheus is very effective in the final third. His movement off the ball sees him attacking the depth and getting into dangerous areas. Whether as a centre-forward or an attacking midfielder, he will constantly look to get on the ball and make runs. Quote He is able to create chances both with and without the ball, being very intelligent with his movement and passing. While his awareness and technique allow him to create space and chances against lower blocks, he is also able to play in transition with his quick thinking and speed. Quote He is able to press very intelligently, angling his runs and often recovering the ball. Sounds a real prospect and would slot into the way we play, very well.

Man Utd could drop £100m on 'Arry and not even fucking blink.

Ironically they're not allowed within 500yds of schools.

Hurts Brighton more than it helps Arsenal, in my honest opinion.

Had to google Daniel Neil. Picking a current first teamer, as a 'notable supporter' is fucking hilarious.

Plenty of scholars have argued about where Geordie comes from originally, but the point is what who it describes now. And now a 'Geordie' is someone from the area and/or someone who supports Newcastle. Imagine being so unsure of your own identity that you try to co-opt someone else's nickname, then reclaim an insult, then poll for a new nickname, then try to co-opt a nickname from your rivals, again. Don't see Smoggies go on like this, but that could be the industrial haar

There's a simple reason for that. Other people have opinions about Geordies, for good or ill, but nobody gives a fleeting thought to mackems, or to people from Sunderland. If they get to claim that they're Geordie then POW, they're not anonymous afterthoughts.

How do you think it would impact the strategy. Surely Eales and Ashworth were planning for a midtable/top half finish? All of the players they would have been scouting would be the kind to lift us from there, to challenging for Europe. Rather than pushing us as far into the CL competition as possible, right? If it were me, I'd not really change plans that much. Keep looking for players that match Isak, Bruno, Botman's profile. Rather than someone like Harry Kane. If we finish in the CL, I'd honestly view it as a route to the UEFA Cup. If we get out the group and overachieve beyond the knockout stages? Great, but we shouldn't start strutting around like we're ready for CL. Our back up right back is Javier Manquillo, Jacob Murphy still gets a stack of game time. Lets not get ahead of ourselves, is what I'm saying.
