What's the weather like in Thornhill today?

It was obvious all along that we would never let him just see out that last year. Was never going to happen and it didn't.

Clubcall, you say?

Good luck to him. The competition is still meaningless for us, insulting to L1 and L2 clubs and a general clusterf*** for all concerned.

Nostradamus saw this coming.

Facebook dinlows.

Indeed.

No it isn't and no they won't. It's a youth team match. Happy to help.

I think we've got one and he's called Charlie Austin. 5 in 10 in the Premier League suggests he's on track to surpass Pelle and Mane from last season, potentially ending up with more than the pair of them put together. It's the rest of the front line we have issues with but we clearly have someone who "knows where the goal is".

No, he isn't. Obviously he isn't.

In fairness those people were talking about us playing with a stronger first eleven vs Milan. We played a rotated side and still won, which was great. But the rotated back first eleven should have given a better account of themselves yesterday being that half of them didn't play on Thursday. Peul prioritised the game we lost. Not really sure where you're seeing a contradiction because there isn't one.

There'll be a PhD in it in a few years.

A master craftsman at work.

Quite heartening that despite how dreadful/no plan B/no investment/no ambition/etc/etc we are, we still sit higher in the table than not one, not two, not three but four of the "Oh why can't we be like them" clubs, the ones whose drive and ambition put us in the shade. (Stoke, WHU, Leicester, Palace). Of course it won't be long if they keep going that the forum intelligentsia will be saying "actually no, it's Watford who we should be like, I've always said that honest I have".

Two of those three plus Austin in any given game, I'd assume. Redmond in the most need of place-threatening pressure. I missed that.

It's disappointing that we still don't seem to be able to start with Boufal, the man signed to bring penetration/creativity in a game that should be perfect for him. It's November FFS, and if it's fit enough to come off the bench then he must be fit enough to start.

Party time for the dinlows.

Sensible.

When are we going to actually start with our most expensive ever signing?

Why? It's a reserve/youth team match of absolutely no significance at all. Which "quarters" will ridicule us for a very low gate for a youth match? What is a very low gate for a youth team match anyway?

Back in the day, swivel eyed forum legend SaintRichmond was absolutely incandescent in CAPITAL LETTER RAGE that the deal with SISU never went through and berated the shareholders for months for not going with them. True story.

Riiiiight.

Whenever I read one of your posts it's like I've woken up in some kind of recurring dream world where the same things happen again and again.

Might end up the next manager of Inter Milan.
