isn't Girona also who Ori left us for or am I misremembering? Crazy to leave for your hometown club, then go to Barca late in your career, then see your boyhood club above them in the table without you! Obviously early season but what a story.
To be fair I think that's why he was cranky. To be in a 10-game unbeaten streak, having one 7 of those, without ever playing consistently at your best could definitely be seen as a positive but the fanbase is very jaded.
The WBA fan on TSP was absolutely wetting his pants at this goal, he said something like if it was in the PL it would be goal of the season but because it's in the champ it doesn't get air time. Good goal, for sure, but I feel a little more confident seeing it. I don't think we would give them that much time in the box.
Watching the game tonight I’ve finally figured sport republics vision. They do say it’s a long term project for them… keep Russell as long as it takes for the toxic SMS atmosphere to actually turn him into Daniel Farke (6-10 years, supplemented by a diet of vegan burgers and cigarettes)
Rusty was pretty black and white in the press conference about him too - not word for word but "I know him, I've played with him and against him, and if I had any doubts about attitude he wouldn't be here." Think it will be a good signing and likely to become perm if we go up.
