The Fish

Angus Deayton? Debbie McGee?

Which makes his appointment (twice!) all the more infuriating. It was pretty obvious he wasn't working with all the puzzle pieces.

Aye, I think what's most entertaining is that this random bloke has decided to make it his life's mission to establish a deep connection between the two clubs. Despite the fact neither club's history agrees, and more importantly, nobody cares. Imagine Quiff insisting some Newcastle fans created Santos while on their gap year. It'd be weird, false and pathetic. Which would be apposite, I guess.

Our goal difference is a huge plus. 14 better than Man Utd, 17 better than West Ham and 10 better than Chelsea. Honestly think if we take points off Man Utd, we're in pole position for 6th spot.

1-2 loss. Bring on your gifs

Been listening to the greek Myths and Heroes stuff by Stephen Fry. That stuff still fascinates me, same as the Norse pantheon. Probably why I like the Superhero stuff now, they're just modern Gods and Demigods. Back to the mackens, they're closer to Huddersfield in 22nd than they are Norwich in 6th.

Etymologically sounds about right. Phileo - love. Delphia - whatever that means. Wonder if it's owt to do with Delphi?

Didn't realise it was named after New York, New York. Apparently there was another village called Philadelphia as well.

Maybe he means the New York near the Silverlink?

I guess it's not too dissimilar to us watching Soccer Saturday? But for the bellend generation?

That's 5pts dropped from winning positions, in added time, in the last 4 days.

It's pretty funny that as soon as sufficient clubs run foul of the rules by spending too much, the rules are set to change. Kind of makes a mockery of the whole thing.

Got to say Arsenal have the toughest run in, so it looks like it's up to Man City to stop the Scouse circle jerk.

Agreed, we should sign him.

Truther Geordie

Macheda?(Sp?)

Isak in the middle, Gordon on the right, Barnes on the left. Stick with the same midfield through necessity. Hall at LB, stick with the rest through necessity. The only big change I'd make is bringing on kids instead of Ritchie or Dummett. In a season where our intensity has been exhausted, the very least you can expect from kids is an over abundance of enthusiasm.

Yeah my point was our first and second choice right backs are ahead of Paolo Dummetto in the left back pecking order.

Livramento and Trippier would probably be picked at LB before Dummett if they were fit and not needed on the right.

Here's West Ham for comparison And Brighton

Even then it's not like Plan A isn't a really good plan. The issue is that the squad is so decimated that a reliable Plan B is tricky to come by. Its not just the first XI that are getting injured it's their replacements and the replacement's replacement. So we haven't had a settled squad to select or cater a tactic for. Wilson and Isak have both missed great chunks of the season. So have 2/3 of our first choice midfielders; Joelinton and Tonali. Then their replacements too. Look at the fucking state of that man.

It's just lazy pundits and knee-jerk fans. Last season we benefited from our new players and new style surprising so many of the opposition, other teams having poor seasons and a good amount of luck with injuries. So our position of 4th was definitely better than expected. In many other seasons we'd have finished around 6th or 7th This time we've had to try and compete in four competitions, without a great deal of new players available and the worst injury crisis I've ever seen. Without the injuries I'd expect us to finish around 5th or 6th. We're still making progress in my opinion.
