  1. Bit harsh what’s wrong with Goldberg? Bit weird yeah but talks a lot of sense about the prem / var and is complimentary about us and fairly objective when he has no need to be

  2. We scored 86 goals last season with those lads with the same issues and Salah at afcon and returning injured and off form. And despite Nunez's poor finishing, he hit the woodwork 9 times in the league nearly twice the next player, and as a team we hit it 25 times, more than city and arsenal combined. This is just fine margins and happens to all teams and players at some point, but it doesn't continue forever. We also dropped just 8 points last season by not scoring and 6 of them were once our form fell off a cliff after that 2-2 in Salford. All of our forwards can be better than last season, but even so, a shortage of goals was not really our problem last season. How we played without the ball was a major problem. Both in how we started games all season and how we dealt with transitions, especially in the last 3rd of the season, which got a bit like 22/23 when we had no midfield was the main problem for me. While I'd like us to get another forward or upgrade Diaz with Gordon, I think we'll be just fine if we go with this 5 if we can can start games properly. Adding a defender and #6 is crucial though imo.

  4. Any game that has Utd score a potential late winner and be pegged back, then get advantage in the penalty shoot-out only to fluff it is alright by me.

  5. I read in the multiple replies to a Guardian article that Golberg is not his real name and he is a Forest fan, but realised Man Utd is obviously going to bring in far more numbers for his thoughts and outbursts. Probably why he is fairer to us than 99.9% of Mancs. I like him, and his description of Evans and Maguire defending as being ike ' two dogs on roller skates trying to have a shag ' is borderline genius.

  8. I'm quite glad to see him and others from his corner speak like this though. We need an end for everything political to be on teams and you can't see anything wrong with your team and can't wait to destroy the other. That seems where US politics is now, we can hopefully be a bit different here, after years of following that path, pretty much since Brexit.

  9. I love what massive bellends evertonians are and how they have to let everyone know they're a blue as soon as possible. And that fucking z cars ring tone. It's 2024, all civilised people have their phone on mute in public places you quilt. Anyway, I was was watching a documentary i came across on Prime earlier about Franco. One of the experts on it had a Liverpool accent. Within no time he said something like "people ask if Franco was a good general. I say no. He was like Jürgen klopp, you don't have to be good as long as you're lucky and he's was lucky". So even while doing a doco, he just couldn't hold back. So I decided to look him up. His name is Paul Preston. I looked at his Wiki page and within the first paragraph of his Bio it says Emotionally, in my feeling for the Republic I think there is an element of indignation about the Republic's defeat, solidarity with the losing side. Maybe that's why I support Everton, although Everton wasn't the losing side in my day." I'm surprised he didn't go on to tell us about they're worth 1 to every 10 reds!

  10. Ed Norris was also the former commissioner of Baltimore, real name Ed Norris. "Show me someone who could fix this fucking department and I'd give back half my overtime." And the real former Mayor Kurt Schmoke - once labelled the most dangerous man in America for floating the idea of legalising drugs and having nation of Islam blokes patrolling the projects, brother mousone style, was one of the people around Royce's table when he's considering what to do about Hamsterdam, and says "if you do this they'll call you the most dangerous man in America."

  13. Fucking hell. Did you fuck Tracy up her arse without lube last night? It can be the only reason for that payback. Have you never cooked before Bob? When I used to stay down that end, more pimlico, the best place I found was this one below. The breakfast was always good, but you have to tell them you want hash browns not chips (fucking chips?!) and the black and white pudding was always spot on. I think this is one of theirs when I didn't know the chips rule! https://maps.app.goo.gl/cKwjLgxPSYMNjfNv8

  18. I doubt Musk actually gives a shit about Israel or Netanyahu. Like all egomaniacal billionaires he cares about his own agency, which is defined by money and power. He dresses himself up in the garb of free speech and libertarianism, but what he wants is to destabilise, the end goal being widespread deregulation. Only breaking the constrictions of a free press and cosying up to the right will bring him that. So he's playing their tune, using his platform to sow the seeds of disinformation in a manner Murdoch could only dream of, and Goebbels would be proud of. Putin must feel like the luckiest man alive to have him doing it for free. Right now he's arguably the most dangerous man in the world. If Musk stumbled and his fat fucking ham hock of a head fell into a wood chipper I'd shit myself laughing.

  24. That imam Adam Kelwick is a better man than me. He was saying today that he's spent part of the week talking to people who were at the "Save Our Children" demonstration at the Pier Head last week (i.e. gobshites who had chosen to believe that Muslims like Adam and all his regular mosque-goers are a threat to white Christian children), listening to their "legitimate concerns" and reaching some sort of understanding with them. That's all positive stuff, and unquestionably the right thing to do, but I'd be inclined to just tell them all to fuck off.

  26. You'd hope they could get more than 6m for him though. I'm surprised if we let him go at that price, unless we have an attractive buy back option. Not for PSR reasons there isn't, it's exactly the same and is amortised over 5 years. And we should have no problem finding the money here, even if we do what we've done before and stick it on credit with a bank or whatever rather than a football creditor. For a club who likes to buy on the release clause, we should have a plan to operate within that for cashflow reasons. I quite like the idea that if you're pretty sure a player won't make it, move him on and open up the space for someone else to come through - you can always put buy back clauses in, even if they're rarely used. I don't see how it helps anyone when you end up with lads like Nat Phillips wasting their career by just having the odd loan and the rest of the time they're there to make up the numbers in training. For me it's interesting we've given koumas and new contract and loaned him out. Clark and carvalho ditched. I think it's just a reflection of who the club (or slot) thinks has a chance to make it.

  28. We might sign him, we might not. Which is not my point. To be clear, I am definitely not saying we are clueless, quite the opposite, I think are more capable than most clubs at identifying footballers. I do think we are mingebags though. I also think it's more likely that rather than he is different in the last 12 months, we have changed our mind on him because we have data on him playing CL football, which would likely add to his value or at the very least de-risk him as a signing, as by all accounts his stats hold up better in the CL than La Liga. So 52m for him last year is a different outcome on the spreadsheet to 52m this year. As for other clubs, well the club you've pointed out were man united. While they are certainly not mingebags, they are 100% clueless. They also had PSR difficulties which is why they ended up with Amrabat on loan. And arsenal were interested in him but couldn't make him move, so they bought Declan Rice instead. Which is certainly not a clueless or mingebag move. But if the deal falls through, I do not believe he's the only option out there, after all our scouting and data is supposedly the envy of world football. But he might be the only option for our mingebags owners. And it's 100% certain most of the hipsters won't have the answer. But as you say, maybe it's time to agree to disagree.
