The Fish

Got a text off Fergus (the host) this morning after we asked how it went. "That last podcast is what happens when both of you can't make it. Charlie was Charlie; exhausting"

All right Boycie?

I had us going down on GD. Palace survived. But that was before their Norwich win.

Danny Simpson did exactly the same. Edit:- Sorry I mean 'Premier League Champion' Danny Simpson.

Huh? Gini, Mitro & Mbemba all have 27+ appearances? Gini was Dutch player of the year 14/15, so I'm guessing he played often (44 app), Mbemba made 37 appearances last season, Mitrovic made 51.

Cheers mate that's encouraging. Might grab the name of that agent off you closer to the date. If it all goes swimmingly I might owe you a pint of the most Gloomy-bating hipstery ale I can find. Something with a name that references a comic-book, served in a tin can, by a girl with sleeve tattoos, on a hoverboard.

From what I've heard Didsbury is more likely to be a "casual interest in rugby but wear the shirts when it's an international tournament" kind of town...

fair enough.

If anyone can, you can.

Things are looking up.

Not being funny but if Psycho can wrap his head around it, it can't be that hard?

I'm not surprised they'd not recognise the name "Dave", I go by "El Capitán", or "Aizen-Myoo" Martin'll be livid. He only got bronze.

What did they get you when you gave up being a titan of business for the life of a taxidriver?

You're underestimating our global brand, the lure of English football and overestimating how enticing other teams are. There'll be players who'd rather sign for Newcastle United in the championship than Bournemouth in the Premier League.

you heartless bugger.

Thing is, he has the physique, had the pace, has played along some class centrebacks, he could have been quality, he could have been an apex predator dominating his territory, but instead he's ...

Christ, I'm literally never going to live that down am I?

Nah, even if we lose the likes of Colo, Mbemba, Janmaat, Tiote, Anita, Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Perez, there'll be enough quality left over to get us back up. Even if there isn't we're a big enough club that we could attract promising players to join us, even in the 2nd flight.

Taylor's had more good games than Shola imo

I was just working out which players would be remembered by people on here and it's only just dawned on me that a 16yr old could be posting on here and: have been born after Valentines Day 2000 (conceived just before that Man Utd FA Cup final) won't remember Robson and the Champions League and all that, won't remember Shearer as he was the most likeable manager they've had is Hughton (bar Benitez, but he's only here in the interim) Poor bastards

Don't be daft man. Yes it's shit, no we don't have Nolan et al, but we're not going to disappear like Leeds or Bolton or whatever.

Appealing the length of the sentence and the "more serious" of the two sexual activity charges, isn't he?

Fereday is usually the name that crops up whenever a Worst XI pops up. Taylor is currently awful and has been average for a while, but he's had periods where he's shown promise/been decent.

I think they're extinct.
