The Fish

I've been banging that drum for ages, but was told that Mitrovic is shitter even than Joselu

Says who?

Think most people would give their striker a shot of scoring from the spot unless he'd consistently failed from previous penalties.

Looking back on it, yeah I think I would.

Hindsight, I reckon.

You wouldn't have said that before the game though, you'd have given Joselu the chance. Hopefully Slimani will complete the medical without a hitch and score the future penalties we're not awarded.

I was thinking that, but who else would you have picked to take it? Kenedy?

He does stuff with Angelos Epithemiou http://www.barryfromwatford.co.uk/

I've been mucking about trying to get a table that calls a number from a separate table based on two criteria. I'm convinced I need a nested vlookup, but I can't get it to return what I'm after. Basically I want LEAGUE POSITION returned based on YEAR and MANAGER. I've a table (CLF) with the club's league finish, and the year and the manager. And I've another table with transfers and stuff including manager a year. I want the Transfer table to have the league position. So for every instance of Sam Allardyce in 2008 should return "11". In my mind I want =vlookup(vlookup(manager, Transfer table, year, false),CLF,lg position, false).. but that's clearly wrong. Would it be easier if I concatenate a column with "Sam Allardyce 2008", and vlookup off that one column?

I'd rather just keep using the pc, but I've 2 issues; My mates mostly have PS4s and sub-par PCs My lass likes to watch tv on the big screen.

so... where do we stand on Ark Evolved? (If I sort my life out in time I might have a PS4 and you could embarrass me on other games, if you like.

Ark is multiplayer.

Next time someone complains about the length of my post, I'm quoting this thing.

Should I use my powers of invisibility for good or evil...

Ark survival evolved? speaking of which, I’m thinking getting a PS4 soon. anyone know where I can get a cheap one?

I think those odds reflect our expected tactical approach which was always going to be unadventurous (justifiably) and thus unlikely to return an unlikely win. Were we a hustle and bustle, gung-ho Championship club just out to enjoy our day in the sun, the odds would reflect that. We'd have had a go if we had a decent side, but we don't. The real issue is the negative blokes in charge of the mid-tier of the top flight. Stoke, West Brom, West Ham, etc. They could and should be looking to cause the elite clubs problems with their approach, if not their teamsheet. But they're all managed by dinosaurs.

Schurrle not.

Really bad comparison that. Man City have a legion of stars, aren't in any rush and know the player has forced a move. Newcastle United can't force Ashley to sell it, Ashley is content enough to hold onto the club until his ridiculous valuation is met (it won't be) so he's in no rush either. I don't think they do hold all the cards really. Ashley does, unfortunately.

Can't discount it, no. But surely if the difference was £50m (as reported) a stupidly rich buyer would have been more likely to acquiesce to Ashley's demands, as it'd be a drop in the ocean for them?

Now that I'm busy this place is slowing down. What it's missing is ponderous essays repeating a position ad nauseum. And the occasional clunky bit of yoof speak. y' get me?

What Bloomberg says;

Whatever Nazi-boy. I am loved, LOVED, on here and wherever else I share my enlightening wisdom.

I got shit for saying exactly this earlier on.

Have we? Aren't we still bumbling around the bottom half of the league (as everyone predicted before a ball was kicked)? The club's league position wasn't likely to have a real bearing on the value of the club, was it. Unless we were rock bottom, cut adrift and certs for relegation, or a surprise package comfortably in the CL spots, Ashley valuation would be stupidly high and Staveley's bid a more realistic valuation. That's the sticking point, as it was always going to be. Ashley wants close to £400m, Staveley wants to spend closer to £300m.Something as movable as a league position on an arbitrary weekend in the middle of the season was unlikely to impact it.
