Hojbjerg trending on Tw*tter and not because they all love his tattoos.

Hey, a ball net thing!

Who had 6 minutes in the clumsy Romeu pointless booking sweepstake?

Some thing something, COYR, bad gateway 0-1 already FFS etc.

This basically. Those 11 players are capable of winning but collectively we lack the fitness and mentality.

If he has another blinder, we’ll have a decent enough season and probably have a bidding war of sorts next summer. If he is average or has injury issues, I can’t see there being that much interest in a 29 year old from bigger clubs.

I like Evra. Anyone who makes erotic chicken videos gets my vote.

I know he’s young but if Salisu isn’t an improvement on Bednarek or JS, I really do worry for our scouting department. At the very least we know who we’re playing at fullback every week. This time last season we were pissing around with Danso at RB, Cédric at LB, Yoshida in goal and f*ck knows what else.

I think it’s a realisation setting in that they’re still nowhere the blue half or the Scousers and face another year in the shadows.

Hojbjerg is not the difference between 11th and relegation. We’ve strengthened in defence and missed out on our top midfield target because he went to the Italian Champions.

As if Zaha went down for that 😆 Wow, made up for it though.

Oh dear Luke.

Would it? I’ve really not seen enough to judge but he wasn’t getting in Bournemouth’s team at the back end of last season. Would he really improve us or has he just dined out on a handful of superb free kicks?

Everton will be the Leicester of last season. Riding the crest of a wave, all the ‘experts’ will tip them for a title challenge and Champions League football, only to fall by the wayside as their momentum falters after Christmas.

I think Scott would be a decent host of QoS and much better suited to that than something like GSS. It’s more of a bland, inoffensive family viewing show. A sort of Michael McIntyre of sports entertainment, without the ‘mates down the pub’ feel that Stelling and co. Used to have.

That would be Clyne who hasn’t played for a year and a half, Surman the unused sub for relegated Bournemouth and Dyer the unused sub for Championship Swansea.

Another peer reviewed study by medical professionals. 👍

Going back to your previous post, there’s nothing weird about any of it. We know we got through last season with a thin squad and the reasons for it. Nothing is going to change for at least the next couple of seasons until we cut the wage bill down and we will continue to try and survive in this league at minimal outlay.

I’m not really worried about the talent on the pitch, just how they’re playing as a team. This same 11 is capable of far, far better than they’ve displayed this season.

Well it was more interesting than this. Got the TDF on now, have some friends who live in Meribel.

Oh fudge. 🙄

I wouldn’t say badly. The Aussies are going to win this but it’s hardly a battering. Regretting that no-ball tough.

And they’re off! Come of Saints!

People often say this and it's a straw man. The criticism of his attitude is not that he's lazy but that he tries to show off and is a selfish player - Why beat a man, when you can beat him three times? He also has a tendency to down tools if he's not getting into a game, like in the Huddersfield cup match. Yes he got a decent assist - having just come on against a very tired, ten man Brighton - but these contributions are sporadic at best. Personally, I'd happily see Hoedt, Carrillo, Lemina, Boufal and Forster walk out on a free tomorrow and start again with a massively slimmed down wage bill. £2m would be a bonus.

This kind of stuff was fun in like, 2005 but I think you need some new material.
