Howay

Almiron is parp, looks like ASM has managed to hurt his brittle body again. Starting to hope we win here, would get old broken noses mates all buzzing for him again and making noises he’s better than Rafa. That would have the knock on of Ashley and his cronies keeping the clown even longer than they would have anyway, which will cement our relegation.

What a crease

Studs up, over the ball, all the rest of it on Longstaff there, never mind eh.

Watched the new season of Topboy Netflix have come out with. Thought it was canny after (imo) a slightly shaky season 2 from the original show. Peaky Blinders is okay, massively overrated though. It does contain one of the most annoying characters of any show I’ve watched, I just can’t stand that Polly character. The Arthur character is a whopper in all. Besides them two and the Brummy accent it’s a decent enough watch imo.

Shocked Liverpool getting a pretty soft penalty to win a game they had no momentum in. Spawniest team in football.

He’s so staggeringly bad man. Legitimately lost the dressing room 7 games in, this is about the third time he’s made a pretty unveiled dig at the players calling them shit or lazy, why does he think that would turn things around? He’s also now claiming he has a tactical framework he wants to implement after calling tactics nonsense on maybe four different occasions. I’m firmly in the camp that I hope we go down, I see it as the only hope we have Ashley might lose interest and be forced into a sale (as unrealistic as some may see that I feel there is zero chance at all he sells when we are in the PL), so I’m actually at the point where I just find this funny tbh. The whole choice of employing this total fucking idiot was a fuck up of staggering proportions, and watching it blow up in the faces of the tight, bullying, bullish, arrogant arsehole that owns us, and watching arrogant ‘I know far more than you idiots’ journo types like Luke Edwards backpedaling after giving it the “he needs a chance” to everyone that knew for a fact this appointment was going to be bad, is at least providing some entertainment at the expense of people who are largely to blame for making OUR football club the fucking laughing stock it has become (and aye I’m including pandering journalist that have shielded and made excuses for Ashley and his cronies in that blame).

Tactics and all this nonsense. No wonder it looks like we have no tactical plan and get ripped apart between the lines every game.

I missed this one, thrilled I did. 5-0 ffs and they didn’t even have Maddison playing.

Essemvee rates him iirc

what a bellend

Ronny Gill de-escalating now, saying it’s disputed that there’s a bid but the Brochure shows there’s still interest from Kenyon . They’ll get a good 2 month of stories out of this before building it back up to BID IS IMMINENT levels in late December as we languish between 18th and 20th.

They’ve done it too early, it’s going to be a fair whack of bullshit on this one to keep the story running until the January window closes.

Honestly not surprised by anything they do anymore. They’re probably one of the scummiest fan bases going, RTG is fucking vile (the mods often go and delete most of the bad threads after they’ve ran their course, see threads supporting Adam Johnson, saying horrific things about Jimmy Hill etc etc).

Horrific, for balance here are the stats from the fixture at home to Brighton that we lost last season that Luke and this Ugly Mackem bloke love to hold up as an example of why Bruce is comparable to Rafa:

There you gan lads, Luke totally ignores the fact that in those losses/draws early on under Rafa the team showed shape and ideas compared to the games so far this season that have showed absolutely no semblance of a plan. We could barely muster up a chance, only scoring a goal that has since been declared an error that VAR should have overruled, against Watford ffs. I get he’s playing devils advocate and sticking up for his mate but he’s making himself look like he knows nothing about football.

How much longer do we have to watch Manquillo attempt to play football ffs. All they had to do was buy a full back better than him and they somehow managed to buy one just as shit so now we’re back to Javier

Think I’ll sack off watching another 45 of this. Two dreadful sides, surely Brighton will eventually finish one of the chances our lot keep gifting, and there’s no hope any of our lot will do owt. Almiron hitting it right at the keeper ffs. 24% possession at home to Brighton and Hove Albion sums it up really. Hurry up and fucking sell the club Ashley man.

Manquillo is a fucking dreadful player. Every second touch is a tackle, no awareness of what’s around him which resulted in giving away a corner for no reason.

Looks canny empty

I just noticed Sterling isn’t even playing.

Watford

If I remember correctly the PL opted not to add the pitch side reviews piece, I think they wanted to try and speed up the VAR process.

‘By pre-order of the peaky blinders’ ffs.

Aye, the absolute wankfest over them last season was ridiculous. Abraham has something like 7 goals already this season, mad. England have some real top quality in the attacking positions, just a shame the central midfield and centre back positions are lacking.
