The Fish

Don't get me wrong, that's club highlights of one game against Charlton (not a great standard of opposition), but, the technique, the vision and the pace isn't affected by any of those. I'm trying to find other videos to get a bigger picture.

Which prediction do you think has been incorrectly recorded like?

Jump to about 2:00 and watch the rest. Looks to have a decent range of passing, decent pace, really good awareness and vision, tidy control. Oh and CT? You remained excited about a midfielder from Rennes who'd failed a medical at Liverpool, so shut your pie hole.

He'll be back early November, by all accounts, so lets say he's back for the trip to Leeds (20th Nov), he'd be available for 30 league games.

If his good form coincides with finals he could do well, but that's as long as his poor form doesn't prevent him getting there in the first place.

I'll submit my findings to the British Psychoanalytic Society and hopefully, with their assistance, help him manage his condition.

He's doing more of the actual work and should receive more credit, but I'm running something alongside it. Basically he's doing an uncluttered pts tally, I've a large unwieldy spreadsheet that should mean if I keep filling it in throughout the season I can track people's predictions and see how they change. I can see what the avg home/away prediction is, the person who predicts the most goals (CT), the person who predicts the least (KCG) and how that scans with their chat on the forum.

The change KCG proposed to my sheet? No real difference to be honest, like I said, there's only been 2 correct scoreline guesses so far. CT won't get aggravated, he'll complain but add a winky smiley to cover his own back in case something changes in the future.

Why the fuck is he going to need to run? All he's got to be able to do is boot the ball as far as he can and challenge at set-pieces. Christ, imagine it though; John Terry has worked under Mourinho, Hiddink, Ancelotti, and now he'd have to take instructions from Sam fucking Allardyce.

My sheet is fairly comprehensive, so that shouldn't be a problem to sort out. Mind you the score has only been predicted correctly twice in 160 guesses so far

I'd guess the Golden Gate Bridge or Capitol Hill

What are you hoping to discover?

Krul's got the tools to be a better 'keeper than Elliott and I've said before, Krul's more likely to make the "how the fuck did he do that?!" save, but he needs to cut out silly mistakes. Elliott is solid but unspectacular, but sometimes, that's what you need.

Jesus

If I were to use predictions as a window into the predictor's psyche; I'd send a white van round for CT and put KCG on suicide watch.

Which cocksnot gargling fuckpig didn't put abuse in the title?

What's this now?

That's worse than some of mine!

The few highlights I've seen of the game show him to be quite panicky, but I suppose they're never going to show highlights of a 'keeper calmly collecting/dealing with a cross. Good result on the whole and it puts the Away-day hoodoo in a box for a bit. A lot of twitter seems to be worried that we faded in the second half, but was that the case or did Rafa settle for a 1-0 win? Certainly the comments about working on counter-attacks suggests we sat back once we'd got the lead. Hayden was quality again, by all accounts. 7 Interceptions in another competent display from the young lad. Ritchie is getting praise too and has been after every game. Diame is still growing in confidence and fitness (Hull's preseason couldn't have helped). Lascelles was very good and Gayle is up to 4 in 4. New signings had a good game I'd expect a lot of changes for the Cheltenham game. Mitrovic and Perez to start, Shelvey, Janmaat, Hanley and Dummett too? Looking forward to see who comes in

Mackems confirm signing of Pienaar on a 1yr deal. Just how broke are they?

Bigi and Vuckic?

Nah, they're getting £350m a week because we voted Brexit.

de Jong set to have a medical with PSV that Sebastien Haller link isn't going away. Utrecht quoted as saying "If there is a offer at the asking price, there is a chance he will go." Which is a nothing quote really.. Sorry about that. Just concentrate on the de Jong sentence up there

Roughly the same shot accuracy as every other striker on the books and wasn't far behind the likes of Costa, Sanchez and Aguero. Is it possible that he appears more profligate because the missed opportunities meant more?
