Aventus

Got the chance to take my lad to Wembley for the first time this season, he said it was one of the best days of his (short) life. I hope he remembers it well, because it might be a while til we go to another one.

The difference between us and the blue mancs is their ability to roll the dice as many times as they want. Fans of other clubs love to point at our big signings in Virgil and Alisson, and pretend we're on an even playing field with city, but if those signings failed then we would have been fucked, luckily they ended up being world class. With Nunez, we took the gamble, paid the big money, but we haven't seen a return on that investment, as a result we can't really afford to take the loss, sell him and try again, or keep Nunez and buy another forward that will play to his strengths. We've had to live and die by our big signings, and as much as I like the mad bastard, he hasn't put the ball in the net enough times to improve the results we have on the pitch.

Might be right, the vibe behind the scenes would have have been about the future being completely unknown, everyone just focused on the present and enjoying their football. As soon as Edwards comes in then it becomes real, and there's suddenly loads of conversations about who could be taking over as manager, fitting into styles of football, possible contract renewals, new sporting directors, new signings etc. Not Edwards fault, he's been brought in to look after the club for future years not just the next 6 months. There's probably a hundred things at play causing the drop off, all equally true.

We're just desperate to be honest.

On mo that

You are in for a treat when the outro to the pod gets updated then.

I'm disappointed you didn't say he would Slot right in. That was an open goal, people have been negged for less.

Never heard of the cunt, but I'm going to watch a 10 minute YouTube video about his tactics then pretend I've been following his career for ages.

Had good luck with injuries in their own squad too.

He was alright giving Connor Bradley a chance

Well we've already had our hearts broken twice by hoping we can catch the cheating cunts, only to end up 1 point behind. It's managing expectations, and just focusing on ourselves rather than constantly hoping other teams fail and the inevitable disappointments when they don't.

I'd also settle for the red mancs getting beat 15-0

That's stupid. So if he carries on does he get a 3rd yellow?
