Tell you what that book has taught me. That it could have been Spurs having all this success, but for Harry Redknapp. The author, Michael Edwards, and Damien Comolli were all at Spurs, and they were having some success with signing players using statistical based models. 

 

Then they appointed Redknapp. He thought it was all a load of shit and just wanted to sign players that he'd worked with previously. 

 

Which ultimately led to the protagonists decamping to Liverpool. 

 

Good old 'arry the dinosaur.

They've painted their set piece coach on the side of the stadium.

They might as well sign Chris Wood to get on the end of these set pieces, because that's the only way they look like scoring atm!

He’d absolutely batter them in for them too. Spanish Sam Allardyce would love it.

The Basque Tony Pulis tbh

Count Dracula earning a penalty with a dive but then missing a sitter and failing to score in the shootout is the kind of poetic justice I have always been waiting for.

If Wood scored a particularly pleasing one off his bonce, you could call it a "work of Arteta"

He definitely has the cringe factor for this to work.

He is doing better when playing for the national team so most people don’t know or don’t bother about him being a cunt.

You deserve a punitive fine for that one

Punt in the balls is what he deserves.

Oh! Very good, welcome to the dark side.

[Gemmill 47251]

Aye better than yours wasn't it? Immediately match fit with no training. It's an indictment of the game itself. 😜

Gemmill, likely to be the Guivarc’h of the pun game.

Bollocks you’ve had a punishing schedule of study in the Toontastic academy prior to trying it out yourself, proud of you tbh.
