    It's tough because the season hasn't finished and Guimaraes might continue his goal scoring run and propel us into the top half, but I've gone for Joelinton because he ticks so many boxes. Improvement, endeavour, attitude, shithousery, he's even scored a couple of goals too. Other player have improved, but none have had quite the renaissance as big Joe. He's one of the few players I can think of to turn fans opinion round so dramatically. To go outside the club to improve himself was a mark of his character and to take on this new role in the team so enthusiastically is remarkable.

    Does this mean you are, or are not in the big smerk next Wednesday? Have we obliviously obeyed London's 1 in 1 out rule?

    Jonj has alopecia Edward was an albino. Monger is an amputee. Put these people in their right fucking boxes!

    So did I kemosabe, so did I.

    It's not even that the new signings have consistently been our best players. Wood has been fairly underwhelming. Targett has been solid. Burn has been decent. Trippier has only played 3 1/2 league games. Guimaraes has only started 7. Joelinton, Krafth, Shelvey have all upped their games.

    I don't disagree with any of that. However, we are not the same. Even when we were 20th in the league without a win, I was still only 50/50. What was Gemmil, at that point? Silent, I'll bet.
  8. The Fish
    Right, I was 50/50 in November, before the we'd signed anyone in the winter window and when the table looked like this; Rock bottom, no wins, worst defensive record in the league, 3pts off 19th, 7pts off safety. You were 70/30 in favour of relegation after we'd signed Trippier and Wood and had actually won a game and the table looked like this; 19th, 3 pts off safety.
  9. The Fish
    No. I was still optimistic. Where we were to expect 45pts would have been wildly optimistic, but I was assured of our survival. I was chief willy waver until Gemmill usurped me with his bluster.
  10. The Fish
    If you want credit, you have to do your homework. I was less optimistic because I thought 45pts might be beyond us. I wasn't pessimistic. Unlike some OTHER people, who shall remain nameless.

    Prove it.

    You said we should ignore the transfer window. Why, in the world, would we do that?
  16. The Fish
    He has alopecia. He doesn't get to claim membership of the Bald Brigade. Just like a Billy Monger isn't short, or Edward the Confessor wasn't blond!
  17. The Fish
    WHY DID YOU WANT US TO IGNORE THE TRANSFER WINDOW?!
  18. The Fish
    You just earned a paddlin'
  19. The Fish
    Nailed it.

    Sure I've spoken about that before too, it's game management from Howe. Disrupt the play, don't let the other team settle into a rhythm, reduce the 90 into moments rather than passages of play. The work off the ball is exemplary, and Joelinton epitomises that change. We might not be able to control the game very well, but we make fucking sure that the other team have to work hard if they want to. Benitez used a similar approach, but in a different way. He'd make sure we camp in after the first 10 minutes until the last 10 minutes. Howe seems to prefer unsettling the opposition throughout.

    I see what the fuss is about, 6 in a row is mint. I'm pretty sure I'll bang on about this for a long time too.
  22. The Fish
    He's not bald, he's got a disease. That's like saying Tanni Grey-Thompson is short.
  23. The Fish
    Excuse me what the fuck?
  24. The Fish
    You're Irish, right? Gobble on these spuds!

    £6-10m? I honestly think Shelvey has played pretty well this season, but this is the last window where we'll get anything for him. I think we can become a better team without him. Shift Hayden as well as Shelvey, fuck it make Isaac part of the package.
