See what happens when you go forward with a bit of pace.

Has Pickford made a save yet?

Commentator "Everton now playing like Southampton" Mrs Badger "What, crap ?"

''Ramsdale looking anxious". Behind our defence I'm not surprised.

As an advert for the Premier League that was crap.

The Kuenssberg virus is spreading through the BBC news department.

Does the creation of an "Office for Value For Money" actually provide VFM ?

Good luck explaining that to Russ.

Does posession of a PDF document apparently originating with Al Quaeeda automatically make you an Islamic terrorist ? Does having a copy of Das Kapital make you a marxist, or a copy of Mein Kampf make you a Nazi ? No right minded person would have that document, but projection and supposition are dangerous, as we saw in the summer.

How many years late would they be for WW3 ?

I thought you had fucked off from the forum.

And people say we will be stronger in the Championship than last time and be coming straight back up.

I think we are weaker in the striker department compared to last season, in "Championship standard" terms, with Che having left, as neither Archer nor BBD are as good. ( IMO ). Defensively we will have the same group that conceded so many goals last time around, less the best defender, ( KWP ). As for other players leaving, that depends on the players' opinions of themselves, ( "I'm too good to go down" ), whether there is interest from the promoted teams, ( THB ?, Taylor ?, Archer ? ),or how creative their agents are, but I think that there will be first team players that do not want to go down again. Some may want to leave simply to try to get away from the memory of the disaster that seems to be unfolding. I can certainly see Aribo going. We will also be 'weaker' tactically because teams will know exactly how to play against us, rather than seeing something "new" or "innovative" and having to work out how to stop us.

"Championship quality" can mean pushing for the playoffs, just about keeping clear of the relegation battle, or somewhere in between. I am not sure we have a squad packed with the former, rather the latter.
