Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

Becoming quite the title race this season. Glad we don't have to meet any of the three to be honest. They'll all be desperate for 3pts in every game. I think Man City have the easier run in. -
Won't have seen that level of dribbling since HBA

Antonello man. What the fuck kind of name is that?!

4pts off Luton in 18th, who have a game in hand. Everton just can't put away their chances. GF29, xG 42, no team has a worse conversion rate.

Probably means he's missing the Chelsea game, right?

Echo what everyone else is saying Strawb mate. Hope it's nowt and you're overanalysing it.

What fucking crisps are you eating?

Gimme a second.

I think therein lies the rub. Boehly and whoever is advising him haven't given it much thought at all. Caicedo is a good midfielder. But as a responsible owner you should ask yourself and your advisors the following questions; Did he solve the problem they have? Was he value for money? Did his transfer put unnecessary pressure of the PSR/FFP burden? If the answer to any of those is "no", then you really should take pause. If two are answered "no", then you should take a long fucking pause. If it's three "nos" then you need to go have a fucking lie down. -

So in my example, could the remaining cost of the player fall into that years reporting? Caicedo's remaining £50m suddenly dumped as a cost into the 24/25 accounts? -

I don't wear the apron for them.

We don't know what flavour it is, and the usual "As long as it's healthy" caveats aside, I'd like a daughter. Complete the set, y'know? Plus the increased likelihood of my answering the door in pants, socks and a blood smeared butchers apron to greet her first boyfriend.

I'm definitely open to the idea of getting neutered on the same day as the second comes into the world. Under no circumstances do I want a 3rd. A puppy, for sure, but a person? God no.

Aren't the issues more linked to the amount they're accounting for each year? E.G. Caicedo and Fernandez are gobbling up ~10m a year, (unless the 5-year amortisation limit is applied retroactively? in which case it's closer to £20m) so they'd have to sell them for a significant sum. Say they dump Caicedo for £40m in the summer, they'll only have paid £22m of the £110m they paid, leaving £50m of the initial fee to be amortised over how long? All the while the deals for Mudryk, Jackson et al are gobbling up sizeable portions of the allowance. -
I like Mjolnir, because only those who are worthy can pick them up. And in the dead of night, while I am clearly not going to be worthy, the Mrs will be. I like Terry for a boy, so when he writes his name on a form with surname first, whoever is reading can do a wildly offensive imitation of a Chinese person deciding what to watch: "Watson Terry" Genuinely stuck on names, we don't know the sex yet but we're down to a choice of two for each. I've vetoed some absolute horror shows from her though.

Yeah, we had childcare lined up for Friday and Saturday. But midweek poses more problems, obviously. Which will be exacerbated if we need to stay in for more than one night.

Mrs Fish would want me to say that our first was a c-section.

I just don't think he's got what it takes to play in the number 8 role for Howe.

If I had those scan stats, yeah, probably. -
This one won't be light, they're already about 8lbs. We breed big Fishies. Eldest was ~10lbs. I was 9lbs 13.

I know I'm being daft, but it's just a jarring coincidence and now a stressful period until childcare is found. Could really have done without this sudden change towards the end of the pregnancy. Does her (and my) anxiety levels no fucking good at all.
