Not sure if it's me, but he comes across a bit arrogant there. 

“I think I will get more assists if the boys catch up and come in the box - more than goals this season if they catch up”

It sounds like he's saying he's too good for the team and the other players either aren't on his level or aren't on the same wavelength. 

Or it might be one of those that doesn't come across well in print. 

Dont think its arrogant, he is expecting to be a top player and I like it, he expects to have 10 assists, he wants more runners in the box, he wants to be aggressive, we've been crying out for this type of winger for years instead of the turn around and pass back type we've had. 

Good fuck em, always knew those dugouts were expensive.

Had very little involvement up till recently. Still a frustrating loss. Doubt they'll end up winning the league, Bayern are too consistent for that.

Hard to break into a table topping team, let alone in a new country, am sure they are easing him in but he's getting great experience, happy for him.

Lad made the right choice.

Leverkusen top of the bundesliga and unbeaten, 31 out of 33 pts is insane and he scored on saturday.

He's afforded loads more space on the pitch in Turkey than he'd get in the PL or Championship, which will be much easier for his game. I believe the Belgian league is the same.

Rather than pay him for years while he learns how to manage in a congested box I think we were better to loan him out to a league that suits his game better, and get in a player who knows how to manage in that environment (Ross Stewart).

At the pre-WBA press conference RM was asked about him and the first description that came to mind was "He's massive!" and that's not a metaphorical term; he was meaning physically a big bloke. That footage of him scoring after 9 minutes for the Under 21s made him look like he'd gone back to play for his school team!

There would seem to be no lack of effort on Paul's part. I just think it was a wrong choice for all parties. It might have worked if we had dramatically changed our playing style but Selles wasn't wiling.

I'll bet by the time January comes around we'll all be much more confident about which big bloke we loaned out and which one we signed.

Tell me you didn't watch the goal without telling me you didn't watch the goal.

Tall paul showing what happens when you cross the ball to him and plays in a team that try's to win games and has forwards in the team to attack rather than their defensive skills.

this has all the feeling of a guaranteed 2-0 win, with the loch ness drogba scoring, all because i probably am not able to watch it tomorrow.

Yeah according to Redslo's blog he has said this

I will explain why I decided write this blog, but first I should address the readers (few as they were) of my prior blog which focused on the Southampton Saints football club and English football in general. Based upon my prior readership level, there could be as many as one hundred people who have set themselves up to be notified whenever I posted a new article.  The next three paragraphs are addressed to those people.

I have not blogged since August 16, 2017.  My job as an appellate lawyer involves reading things, researching things, thinking about things, and then writing about those things.  That is also what I did with this blog.  I stopped blogging because my workload became significantly heavier. This meant that I had less time to focus on our club and I had fewer insights to share about our club and its squad.  Reading the forums and thinking about the concerns expressed on those forums was a fertile source of ideas for my blog, but I could no longer devote a couple hours a day to our club and football in general.  Also, the club’s recent poor performance was simply less interesting to analyze.  Also, the Golden State Warriors provided a nice distraction.

Misses out yet again when Phillips and Henderson get in. If I were him I would be fuming

I always think quality players can make a manager look good and despite evidence of the results with his career at england showing otherwise i still think he's of the standard when he was the middlesborough manager.

England players flatter him - he did pick people originally on merit but he has now fallen back on the maxim of the managers cliche of picking players who've earnt his trust previously, not the fact one wins a camel for a man of the match performance and the other spends more time doing doing a review of premier teams benches that playing football.

I think it’s more that Bree is better than Manning at playing the left defence role while KWP is playing high right. 

I concur wing commander, he tucks in tighter when KWP goes.

In the spirit of MLG, what is this twitter of which you speak?

Fuck west brom, we take their heads.

15-0 us, loch ness drogba scores 10 the rest are own goals

I actually just use youtube music which is free as part of premium youtube subscriber (about 14 euro a month 0 ads etc) on family plan or something, has all the tunes and more importantly I can upload any music MP3 files, so if you have your problem and cant download, if you find it on mp3 you can at least upload it.

If you really want to get fancy you can get AI to sing a song of your choice and upload it, here's a snippet of a song I did for my kids with peppa pig singing it.

We’ll fucking smash them.  The Loch Ness Drogba will tear them a new asshole.

4-1.

Finally someone posting what i was going to - all hail the LND

No. 3 (and i will post more as I remember them) Dutch people cannot talk quietly, they are the loudest people in the world, whispering is a national crime.

No.2 - Why do women hesitate where to put their feet on escalators, why dont they shorten or lengthen their stride as they approach the steps rather that stop then move again.

yes finally somewhere to post my inner rants as i see them happen.

Ok I wont post them all in 1 go will drip feed them.

No.1 People who walk into shops through the wrong sliding doors - i.e numpties walking into the shop via the exit door.

I expected this thread to be about swinging or something 😆

Cruyff looking cool as fuck sucking a lollipop in shades needs no explanation

Some proper flashbacks on here, was like seeing the saintsweb offenders register (of all types).

I'm sure tokyo would of been happy to be remembered as bearsy's sidekick hahaha, he did have some good banter as well.
