Verbal

It's a cross he's had to bear.

Has he got the job yet? He was interviewed by Brentford a while back (when Frank got the job, I think) and was rejected.

*Statistically*. I love that swerve.

Is that the same Harrison Reed who's delivering MoM performances for currently 7th placed Fulham?

If he goes to a club other than City we get market rate. Not since Bosman has it been possible to compel a player to re-sign for their previous club.

Even better than that...

Well this is quite something... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Future of Football 🔮<br><br>What&#39;re you changing? 🤔⬇️ <a href="https://t.co/vOvqdXrnUF">pic.twitter.com/vOvqdXrnUF</a></p>&mdash; Matchday365 (@Matchday365) <a href="https://twitter.com/Matchday365/status/1568330287142301696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 9, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Anyone checked out AMN's penalty-taking? Quite something.

Wasp?

Someone on this thread - I can't remember who - was bemoaning the fact that we'd missed out on a chance to sign Dele Alli, now that he's on his way to the Prem players' knacker's yard that is the Turkish league. There's an excellent article in the Times today (behind a paywall sadly) that shows the size of the bullet we dodged. It traces his decline all the way back to 2017, when Pochettino expressed his concerns about 'motivation' and attitude. Dele's since been managed by Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, Conte and Lampard, none of whom have been able to retrieve the player he once was, and his decline never stopped in all that time, right through his peak years. Frightening.

I don't doubt how strongly you believe what you say. Nonetheless, after failing to lock down a midfield position at Arsenal, and not wanting to play at full back, he was loaned out to West Brom, which literally no one thought went well. His loan at Roma last season passed equally uneventfully. A move to Nottm Forest went south because Neco Williams was the preferred choice. I'd love AMN to come here and prove his Arsenal critics (of which there are many) wrong, but I'm not optimistic. https://www.justarsenal.com/maitland-niles-may-regret-refusing-to-play-as-a-defender-at-arsenal/300411

And then was dropped because he didn't.

AMN may theoretically cover many positions but he's fallen out with his manager partly because he allegedly doesn't want to play anywhere except centre-mid.

Absolutely delightful

Heavens this place is quiet.

It kind of is.

I know. The 'down' is redundant.

The climate crisis is worse than I thought. The wrist-slitting season has come much earlier this year.

Our away form had better be good...

Did you just wander in from a game of dodgeball? (To be fair, though, they also had some iffy kits.)

Siri, find me a forum thread that comes closest to 'Say Yes to the Dress'.

Well done on keeping a sense of perspective.

If evidence were needeed that conspiracy theorists like Le Tisser drag everyone down, this has to be one of the dumbest threads ever on here

Why did Salisu get pushed to the ground quite roughly in the celebration?

Nor can anyone else
