It was @peasepud

Grainy and askew

It's like that coffee in the other thread.

Tumescent.

You know what they say, "shoot for the moon".

Andrew made me a mod on the temporary Reddit home, but it seems I'm too cool and controversial for the real deal.

If this is a passion of yours, try looking at this screen after you add one of your "turned his back, coward" posts to the thread. You'll see dozens of people who don't give the tiniest shit.

Wasn't Hayden's kid unwell? Which meant he was less keen to drag them away from the support network they had down south?

Never mind, found it. Now, where did I put my eye-gouger?

... what am I missing?

You're dribbling foetid bullshit from your endlessly yammering trap.

Right, I'm going to say this one last time. Joelinton gave a fuck. Anecdotally, empirically, ecumenically, he gave/gives a fuck. So, now we've cleared that up, you can stop getting it wrong.

No Hugo Viana was a Mezzala

I'm an enigma

I'm not upset you've used Disney's Aladdin, I'm upset you've used that abominable iteration.

I think Paddocklad is trying to sweep up after all of us, but also get us moving in the right direction. Kind of like a Libero, or maybe a Segundo Volante?

I think what Jonas brought to those teams was vital. He carried the ball 20-30yds up the pitch winning freekicks, throw ins and corners. He was a relentless runner covering most of the left side, pressing their fullbacks and wingers and while he wasn't one for assists and goals, the work he did was invaluable. Benitez would have loved peak-Jonas and no mistake. I think had Jonas been playing in recent sides without HBA, Ba and the rest he'd be getting nowt but praise for grafting his bollock off.

Get more Jonas vibes from Almiron than anyone else in the squad. Almiron is decent at progressing the ball but is unlikely to score or provide an assist. Just like Jonas. He might win you a freekick, or something though.

Again, this is not true. For all the criticism you can lay at his stumbly feet, 'not giving a shit' isn't one of them.

I think that with a new back line and a back line more in-keeping with Howe's approach to football, we'll not make so many cock ups. With a number 6 who is calm on the ball and good in possession the back line will be under less pressure and the attack will be better supported. Norwich and Leeds haven't improved their squads at all in the window. Honestly, it looks like Norwich are content to have a Premier League holiday every year or so. Leeds probably gambling that once their injuries calm down they'll be ok. Watford have done what Watford always do and gambled on a few young, cheap, foreign lads, but bringing in Hodgson might be shrewd. That said, if Hodgson was brought into any other team in the league I'd expect him to lift their results, but Watford... I dunno, might be ignorance, but I see them as a mercenary group who may not take his organisation on board. Burnley have gambled on Weghorst, but swapping one big striker for another one, doesn't seem to solve the problems they've got across the pitch. Everton have a really unbalanced squad, and I don't think signing two number 10s is great business. Unless I've misunderstood Ven de Beek's role? They're still pretty ponderous in the middle, in my eyes. Norwich, Watford and Burnley for the drop.

Ant never managed this.

We shoot deserters.

'Bruno' it is then.
