I have a horrible feeling he's gonna score against us for Brentford. But apart from than, I hope this works out for him.

It is a tough group, I don't want to downplay that. But we have the kind of team that can give Man City a tough game a few weeks after getting tonked by Sean Dyche's Everton. None of these teams are likely to be playing Dyche-ball. With the possible exception of AEK (who I don't know enough...

Nope, not believing it 'til a mod adds "SINGED" to the thread title

Yep, an error that I corrected seconds after posting. You must have been quick

When I ran that "draw simulator" thing that someone posted yesterday, it put us with Betis 3 out of the 3 times that I ran it. If we get the Rangers/Betis group, I'll be so freaked out.

Happy to accept that that many, even most of his fans are just people who appreciate his high "hit rate" on this stuff. But if you look at the ones who post in his replies on Twitter, they're absolutely getting high off huffing his farts - probably an unrepresentative sample, sure, as people who...

The Fabrizio fandom is one of the weirdest things to emerge from the Internet (and I say that in full knowledge of all the weird things that have emerged from the Internet). It just makes no sense at all, I see people posting that "we'll see who lied" meme when anyone questions anything he says...

I've lived in Prague for the past 12 years, so naturally I'm hoping we get Slavia from Pot 2. My grandad supported them, my cousins support them, and I'll probably be able to get into the game (even if it means hiding among the Slavia fans). Honestly, I'd have preferred Sparta as they're "the...

I'm still refusing to believe this until I see it on the club socials but (whisper it) this is actually happening, isn't it? Absolutely bonkers, in the best possible way.

Nope, I refuse to believe this until I see it on the official club socials, I've been hurt before

I suspect the prospect of a future move to City was a factor there. I'm not sure I'll ever understand why Bloom had to give up his stake in USG while the likes of Qatar and Saudi Arabia are allowed to have big stakes in (or full ownership of) multiple clubs and use them in this way.

The club seems to have a lot of faith in Baleba given how inexperienced he is. I'm not gonna doubt their judgement, but I'd be fascinated to see the Starlizard data that (presumably) has made Bloom et. al. so confident that he's gonna be immense.

He shouldn't be allowed to referee at any level higher than Sunday League after that "performance" at Tottenham last season. He certainly shouldn't be reffing our games, he's proven he's not capable of being objective.

I think Shane Duffy wins this twice. Just before he signed, he played a game for Blackburn in which he conceded two own goals (iirc) and got sent off. This was when we were being linked with him and I remember thinking "god no". Then he joined us and proved me wrong. Then he had that stinker...

Worth to whom, though? Yeah, he's probably worth around that to any club that might be interested in buying him. But he's worth much, much more than that to Brighton & Hove Albion, which is all that really matters as he's not agitating for a move.

I think most of the players who were in the team for Russell Slade's "great escape" warrant a shout here. That was followed by Bloom's takeover, Poyet's appointment, and the rest is history - but would any of that have happened if Slade's squad (many of whom subsequently joined him at Orient)...

The fantasy football thing is the answer here. Apparently a lot of people have replaced Reece James with Pervis in their squads following the former's injury, so other people are trolling them with the "news" of Estupinan's non-existent injury. At least, that's what I'm hoping.

I get the "this account doesn't exist" message when I click that. I suspect the club account has been mass-reported by Chelsea fans to trigger an auto-ban. It's a system that's very susceptible to abuse by large groups of people who share a single, solitary brain cell.

I think we could do with 2 or 3, but I only expect us to get 1 at most - I think we'll baulk at the inflated prices that other clubs try to charge now that the Caicedo transfer is done (which is kinda ironic give the price we got for him, but Bloom's not in the business of being anyone's mug).

This is the key point, I think. Chelsea spent £90m on Mudryk from the Ukrainian league, and £107m on Enzo from the Portuguese league. Both much less strong leagues than the Premier League. Neither of them had kicked a ball in the Premier League before, whereas Ciacedo's a proven top-class...
