All four v United, both wins against Palace, the first win over Arsenal, Connollys game against Spurs, Izquierdo away at West Ham, that's nine, let's say Everton away at the turn of the year.
Steady :lolol: next five games up to the international break are Leeds, Fulham, Leicester, Bournemouth and Palace. The hardest three on paper are all at home. Dare to dream?
Was thinking about how Leicester did it. They had a defensive core of Schmeichel, Morgan, Huth and Kante up there with...
I remember seeing him at Leicester last year where he seemed the weak link and it felt at the time like he was playing his swansong. His revival to be one of the first names on the team sheet is pretty darn remarkable.
In games Moises Caicedo has started for Brighton we are W8 D3 L1. Fitted in like a glove.
Also since his Brighton debut in the league Cup Ecuador are W5 D6 L2.
Every chance Southgate leaves after the WC, whatever happens. And then the Euros qualifiers start in February, so they'll want a manager in straight away. If the job was vacant in the summer, then he'd go. Half way through a season? I hope not. But if its offered, hard to turn down. I think...
It us certainly the case that the basket case teams tend to go, and if there aren't any it's the promoted teams that go down. The basket case teams aren't obvious at the season start, they usually reveal themselves as the season develops by panicking at a bad start and sacking their manager...
No. And it's daft. Got to the England Norway game busting for a wee. And wanted to buy some merch. Discussion with gate security. Are there loos outside? No. Can I buy merch inside? No. Can I go in for the loo and then come out again to buy merch? No.
So I ran all the way down to the station to...
It feels like that, but we should note that this same group of United players, with dreadful management, poor morale and so on, still finished 6th in the league last season. So it's probably fair to say they are better than ours on paper
We were probably one of the only clubs that could sort out the complicated third party ownership issues because we'd already worked with his club Independiente, and one of the agencies representing him, in the transfer of Billy Arce. So we had a relationship there that helped us. It may well be...
Yeah, I spotted that too. Was wondering if Martin Montoya had somehow come back from a loan deal we didn't realise he was on!
But I'm going with Mitoma and some dodgy predictive text system at the BBC
Getting good left backs is always tough. In the Championship we had a lot of loans, Ward, Bridge, Pocognoli, and they were good, in the Prem we've had Bong, Suttner, Bernardo, March, Burn - none of them world beaters by any stretch of the imagination, but we've done alright. One season of...
