The Fish

Well, it's the web innit?

Liar!

Surely that's changed now, it's such an anachronism.

Or Fumaca. What's your point Ginge?!

I'm busy.

Mark of the lad that he took the criticism, tried his best in the games and when it was clearly not going to work, he reached out to his agent and through them Outlier FC. He took it upon himself to improve himself, when other players would just pick up the wage and phone it in. It certainly helps that Howe has found a position and role that works for him, but I give the lion's share of the credit to big Joe.

Well, I don't have Wyscout.

Happy New Year to all of you.

it's class and if you think otherwise, you need to go to a reducation camp.

This question is tough. There are some who you could argue would join us for the payday, and would see joining us as joining the Premier League, rather than NUFC specifically. Players like Botman e.g. Trying to find the European version of, Zaha e.g. is difficult. It's beyond me without access to Wyscout or the equivalent.

Not this, you. You've been bothering the tits off me. And not just for a week.

Not much of an apology, mind.

Jog on Mindy.

Tells the story of changing tactics over the years. It's good. I couldn't say that I understood everything, or could even apply what I did learn to anything more useful than an internet argument. De Bruyne in the Prem. Salah is a wonderful striker, but there are gaps in his game, for me. If De Bruyne is a Rolls Royce, Salah is a Lambourhini. Julian Alvarez from River Plate. Wide forward (aren't they all these days?). Matias Arezo another striker from River Plate Danilo from Palmeiras, defensive midfield, dubbed the new Kante and on the RADAR of Real Madrid and the like. Gabriel Menino a versatile central midfielder from Palmeiras, could get him fro around £15-20m. Talles Magno a forward but he's already on the books at NYCFC, so if he's up to much, he'll move to Man City soon enough, I'm sure. I know sweet fuck all about African football. No. Nope. Yes. How is your mum? Took AFC Wimbledon from the Conference South to the Championship play offs. Never finished that season though. Always seem to start one of those games just before the new game comes out, lose interest and start playing yet another Newcastle game. Really that cuntish. This season? It's all about sorting out the defensive side of our squad. Bring in qulaity across the back line and in nets and we can turn these good performances into winning performances. So many of our dropped points this season have been from individual errors, rather than the wrong set up. I'd like to evolve from that into a pressing counter attack side because I think that a) is achievable without wholesale changes, 2) gives you versatility to further improve without ripping up the foundations that got you there, and iii) would achieve top half of the table if you've got the right players (and that's the kind of form we'd need to stay up). So, similar to Leicester's play style. If we were to stay up with that, I'd then evolve from that into a team more comfortable on the ball, one that looks to pass around the press rather than dribbling through, or lofting over it. That evolution should also mean we could pass around teams with no interest in attacking, something we've struggled with for years.

I've retired him. It's Fiscally Responsible Dave, and Dad-Joke Dave now, I'm afraid.

Seinfeld was brilliant, but it's dated now. It still is a very well written, decently performed 90s sitcom about fuck all. And like him or not, Jerry Seinfeld is one of the greatest stand-ups of all time. Anyone saying it's 'shite' is either doing it for attention, or willingly forgetting about the litany of shit that is actually shit. Check them, out, they're all on E4 or whatever; Everybody loves Raymond, Everybody hates Chris, King of Queens, The Mindy Project ( @Gemmill), How I met your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, Mike and Molly.

Jihaddaway and shite. You can talk, you went to Burka Grove, didn't you?

I beat him on facefuzz, and no mistake.

I've got a Direct Debit to a couple of charities, but I wouldn't say I was 'Charitable'. If someone asked me to sit at a trestle table and sell poppies, or clean up some waterfront somewhere. No sir. But I bet Saint Diego spends his downtime teaching orphans poetry, healthy cooking and how to be good people.

God dammit, he does have a full head of hair!

I bet you're charitable, and a vegan and have a full head of hair, too. God, this is like peering through the multiverse and finding a better version of yourself living their best life.

Holy shit. None of you lot can say owt about the Newcastle Natter again. However shit we are, we're better than this bollocks by orders of magnitude.

Ok, so it's a too many cooks kinda thing? Too many competing agendas, too many egos? I can see why that would be a concern. However, if they've outsourced the recruitment of a short-term fixer, who they're using to out source player recruitment, does it really strike you that they're going to be interfering and foisting a Nacho Gonzalez onto Eddie Howe? This guy, Ashworth, from Brighton. He's not a massive name, so they're not approaching him for the headlines that getting someone like Emenalo would produce. It's a sensible appointment as he's got a record of building a strategy for the club. He's credited with transforming Brighton from PL whipping boys to something more progressive, more sustainable. All we need is to replace some shite with some better-than-shite. The margin for error isn't so tight that one misstep would confirm our relegation. Getting 2 CBs, a FB, a CM and a CF that all hit the ground running is the dream, but if the CM we get means that Schar and Lascelles aren't as exposed, or the CF means we've still got a goal threat when Wilson gets injured, that's fine too. It doesn't have to work first time, with no mistakes. Ultimately if we go down, frankly, who gives a shit? The owners aren't fucking us off after half a season, they want to use our club to soften the perception of their murderous regime. They're not giving up because we're out of the top flight for a season. There is still real estate to build, sponsorship deals to be struck, 'Visit Riyadh' signs to have broadcast into every country on the planet. If we go down, it'll be a speed bump, not the end of the road. Our owners have more cash available than anyone else in the league, including Man City. Success is pretty much a foregone conclusion. It might take 5yrs to see a trophy, it might take 10. But barring some seismic shift in the capitalist structure of the football landscape, this much money will get you results.

So your argument is simply "Bad transfers can happen"?
