  1. We're gonna end up with a full team of players injured once again this season, aren't we? Is there an official Prem record for player absences over a single season?
  2. Think we might have to cash in Bruno on that back of this, otherwise the squad is going to get caught short again next season.
  3. They could also do Pogs of each player
  4. That's a bit shit when we're not up there. Ideally it would have been top 4 only with Villa getting that last spot.
  5. He hasn't been great, but £15m in today's market is taking the piss. Add another £5m at least.
  6. You do start to wonder what PiF are now looking for in the club. Becoming a major player is possibly beyond them due to ever more severe restrictions, so maybe some modest improvements then sell up at a profit in 5-6 years? Spending £400 million on a stadium expansion and refurbishment or £700 million on a new 65,000 seater is not worthwhile under that scenario.
  7. Bloody loved that. But let's not get carried away. Liverpool have already won a trophy this season, and likely to add at least another.
  8. Relieved with 2-0. Last season's League Cup final loss seems to be stinging more now. Post-defeat, I thought we'd march onwards and strengthen and it was just a matter of time. Now though it's looking like a once in a generation opportunity against an average team. FFP and FMV are making it increasingly clear we won't be allowed to match up evenly against the superleague cartel, and we'll need exceptional luck to win a domestic cup.
  9. Can't catch a break, can we. But being a bit shite invites this sort of pressure, and the lucky deflections that might come with it. This could end up 4 or 5.
  10. Only real hope is City don't play their strongest team. Would settle for 2-0 tbh, rather than continuing our rabbit of conceding 4 goals (or even more god forbid).
  11. Guess it's a coping mechanism...
  12. Injured for this weekend
  13. Jesus christ. The 'traditional' clubs are abolute c*nts. The lot of them. We should organically grow to success you say? We made Champions League! Oh sorry, no big pot of cash for you. You have to be a big club. Grow commercial income you say? Oh sorry, no big sponsorship for you. You have to big club. Invest in a squad to compete then? Oh sorry, you can't spend the money you have, you must have a big income first. But you just can't earn it from the Champions League, nor from sponsorship.
  14. Fucking hell. Is Howe loyal to Longstaff because he's a 'grafter' or something?
