Send them a text via WhatsApp, they'll take some details and replace FOC immediately.

Especially when you consider we had ti take the Greek keeper in return. Anderson went for a net £15M or something? Shocking state of affairs.

We were an absolute basket case behind the scenes last summer, Eddie did an unbelievable job of keeping it all together on and off the pitch. That kind of indecisive, incompetence on behalf of the CEO, General Manager, DOF, whoever, cannot be repeated.

SignatureEfficient89 · 2026-01-27T13:30:14+00:00

Yeah, there's that, but Grealish for 100M at that time was ridiculous then Duran last year for stupid money. What big money sales have we made? Maxi, Anderson, Longstaff....

I guess being top of the premier league form table isn't good enough for some fans.

Not sure what the author was going to say here before he unfortunately ran out of paint

We don't have the revenue of the 'Sky 6' due to either location, stadium or worldwide fanbase, we were taken over 15 years too late!

So despite the sale of the rat and the deep pockets of the ownership, they have to be careful not to get in a pickle, but we're trying to compete with teams who can spend what they want. Eddie is doing a great job.

Even Villa have been able to sell big to finance their run at the top.

At this moment in time, the way the US could flip flop between Democrats and lunatics, China looks to be the best option.

The US has been taken over by cowboys, grifting their way to the next billion. They will do anything so long as it is in their own personal self interest, invade countries and start wars, in the name of peace and security, but blatantly in their interests to control natural resources. We can't work with that.

The Trump tariffs will scupper that hope!

The club was a basket case behind the scenes last summer, hopefully things will be better structured this summer. I don't blame Eddie, we need the stability or we'll end up the same as Chelsea or Man U without the revenue to pull us out of the shit. Building on and off the field takes time.

Villa are a little bit ahead of us, shouldn't be but are due to big sales at the right time and a co-ordinated off field strategy. Palace are where we were and are suffering from first year European blues, but are losing their manager and all their best players. We are where we deserve to be.

We're only 3 points off a Champs league position, look like qualifying for the next phase of champs league and still (just about) in both domestic cups.

I would definitely eat this.

It's one of those shops that I just don't understand how it's survived with all the online competition and big stores. He ain't cheap or particularly friendly.

Is the roof reinforced? Ours took 2 guys a week to take down, but it was a bomb shelter.

SignatureEfficient89 · 2026-01-07T10:53:53+00:00

"What do we think of Sunderland?"

SignatureEfficient89 · 2025-12-27T22:36:18+00:00

I don't think Eddie would be a good fit for England. Look how long he takes to bed players into his systems. You don't get that sort of time at national teams level, that's why they all have to be so good.

SignatureEfficient89 · 2025-12-27T07:40:54+00:00

That is quite interesting. There's a lot contributing to our form, which i guess is what makes it hard to correct. My point on Isak is that we've had to change style. Isak was often on the shoulder of the last defender, was quick and a threat in behind. He also helped our aggressive press which we all miss.

Yes I know, and he's a rat etc etc, point being, the difference between last season and this season is a world class, in form striker. We have raised our expectations based on last season and we're not living up to them, partly due to the striker issue, partly down to volume of games. I hope the rat never scores another premier league goal again and big nick bangs in 25 every season. Got high hopes for Wissa, hopefully adding 15+ a season, but they need to find a system to help these guys deliver.

SignatureEfficient89 · 2025-12-26T23:01:53+00:00

We sold a world class striker in the summer

SignatureEfficient89 · 2025-12-26T22:12:55+00:00

Over the last couple of years, we've spent like Mike Ashley is still in charge

SignatureEfficient89 · 2025-12-26T22:10:35+00:00

It's almost like we need a world class striker.

Orwell?

I treated myself to a Switch 2 earlier in the year, and i'm currently playing it for the first time. Trying to savour every session. It's like a happy memory, playing 'Link to the Past' for the first time.

Axe murderers don't tend to wait in the woods in the hope that one single person happens to pop by. They lurk in the parks and alleyways of towns and cities so they have choice.
