The Fish

I think Rodriguez is just one of those players that looks a good option because we haven't yet signed any one. Oh, by the way, this Lejeune kid is a waste of money apparently, a mackem saw him in an U21 game and he says he was shit, so...

They weren't world beaters when he suggest them though?

As has been said elsewhere, all criticism of Carr must take into account the nature of Ashley and his representatives. It was widely reported that Carr was scouting the likes of Lacazette, Aubameyang, Gameiro etc. And way before they were attracting the longing glances from the big clubs. If we held off purchasing those players he recommended because of £2m here of there (as was suggested) it's not really his fault, is it? Of course some of the links are bullshit, but sufficient to suggest he knows a decent player when he sees one. That said, he has suggested some players who flopped, players like Thauvin. Questions need to be asked about why we signed him when it was pretty clear that he wasn't a good fit for the Premier League and/or McClaren's style of football. But I imagine Carr provided Charnley et al with a list of players who he thought were undervalued, and regardless of the needs of the team the lad with the biggest margin to be made would be courted. Had the moneymen had at least one eye on the performances on the pitch, I think Carr's contacts and eye for an undervalued player could have been of benefit. Debuchy, Janmaat, Santon, Tiote, Cabaye, Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Ben Arfa, Ba, Cisse, were all good or great players for us. And if they were managed by a decent boss and could see ambition and not avarice they may not have been so fucking keen to leave.

Which podcast was that sirrah?

Good one de Charny

26/27 season, I've finished 7th a few times recently as ageing players aren't doing it and young players aren't ready yet. Sold fan favourites Marcus Rashford, Bart Ramselaar, Reine-Adelaide, Clement Lenglet for princely sums and dipped into the Wenger-esque reserves I've been accruing. So I've just spent £150m on players. I've 3 "World Class" talents on my books, Fucking Chelsea.

Staggered Essembee hasn't made a drunk driving/alcoholic link yet.

Big fine and community service?

Good piece. Always surprises me how little background work is done on people like this Alexander Jarvis.

We don't know how far along deals are, it's entirely possible that we sign two or three tomorrow for all we know. Far too many pants being pissed on twitter. Chronicle might not be getting the message across in the right way, in the right terms, but the jist is the same; Stop being massive fannies.

How did he do goal-scoring wise? Never prolific me. Where did your goals/assists come from?

Working from home today, thank God. Off to get a gallon of lucozade, a bacon butty and some aspirin.

As an aside the point wasn't "We're going to do well" it was "We're going to sign someone, stop panicking." That that point eluded you, is of no great surprise. Bambaclart.

Not my reasoning, fuckknuckle.

And KCG by the looks of things.

How many of those seasons did we have Benitez?

Could be the photo, but that looking like a velour football shirt. Does it have "Juicy" in glitter on the back?

Well, that's 33% of the Pickford money gone on a lad that played about a dozen times, and now plies his trade elsewhere. Fucking Hell.

Oh God.

Front or back?

It's relentless, isn't it?

This is worth remembering;

Thought Gadot and Pine's chemistry was decent, good action sequences on the beach, in the alley and across no-man's land. Some snappy dialogue, and it fleshes out the DCEU in much the same was as the 1st Captain America film did for the MCU. It's the best film in the DCEU so far, imo, but that's because the missteps in the others have been pretty bad. That said the majority of the support characters were instantly forgettable, the antagonists were paper thin and held no menace, the large set pieces were the kind of CGI I expect to see in lower budget films, certainly not up to scratch for a movie that was supposed to strengthen DC's movie arm. Gadot did nail Wonder Woman's character though, imo. The message was heavy handed (the parade past people that they "couldn't help"), the nod to Nolan's Batman line about not being the hero they deserve, but the one they need/don't deserve it but need saving, and so on. But this is DC, they don't do subtle messages on the whole.

Too many strong female roles?
