Hobsons Choice

When I was a college student in the 90's, I was sleeping off a heavy night before, when I heard a knock at the door. It was about midday. I schlepped downstairs and opened the door, dressed only in my underpants. I heard the word 'Jesus' uttered as the door swung open, but as the majesty of my bepanted figure greeted the two well dressed gentlemen on my doorstep, the talking stopped. We stood there in complete silence regarding each other for 30 seconds. No one said a word. Then at the same time, they turned and walked away, and I closed the door. They literally thought I was beyond redemption. And in fairness, they were right. I really wished later on that I'd said 'can I have a pamphlet'. Would have been a good kiss-off line.

Did a Spurs scout take pictures of the ref cheating on his missus last week or something? Absolutely shocking. Absolute best case scenario that was incompetent. Brighton will quite rightly be fuming, and it raises some very uncomfortable questions about possible corruption. It needs to be thoroughly investigated. But it won't be.

Whilst I'm glad we have Bertie stepping up into form just at the right time, we're so bare bones now that it's just marrow. Sad to lose Bailey for that reason alone, although I thought he might have had more to say as the season panned out. Another keeper on the bench, I guess.

Bummer

Did he get booked for taking his shirt off?

I don't see how it's much different from, say, Liverpool exploiting commercial exposure in Asia. It's an opportunity for them, so fair play. Plus there is in influx of money towards the bottom of the pyramid for a change. That will find it's way through a number of lower clubs via transfers etc.

Derby were huge (under Clough). Forest were huge (under Clough).

Don't they make yoghurt? I like cider as much (probably more) than the next man, but that's a dairy product too far.

Nice to see him pick up from where he left off at Everton

Anyone gave Ollie's recent scoring stats to hand? It's getting bonkers now.

Newbie eh? We Do F All from Corners.

This is a massive opportunity to get his career back on track, so fair play to him for taking it so far.

In fairness, we've played 3 games in 8 days and don't have any backups to freshen things up. Not sure who was expecting dynamism today, but it was always quite unlikely.

2-0 Villa

F**k 'em.

Indeed, and I am aware that UE is not averse to an asymmetric system. Konsa, Guendouzi and a tucked in 9/10 on one side, with Moreno and a traditional winger on the other could work.

Use guns to build houses. Obvious really. An overlooked building material. This is the things with guns. People compare gun crime to knife crime, but a gun serves one purpose and one purpose only. While it is a daft idea to ban knives, banning guns would have absolutely no effect on society whatsoever, aside from not having a big chunk of said society in the morgue.

Just realised Guendouzi might fit in nicely with that.

He'd tear up the Dutch league.

Sounds weird but it depends what we do with Bailey. If we get a winger, a naturally wide player I'm with you. If we go more for an inside forward/CAM hybrid, then I worry about attacking width on that side. Konsa would be great defensively but we would need someone who can step up and cross.

Felix would have been perfect for that. We need someone like him, but possibly a bit cheaper. Kamada? I think he's more of a CAM, but could work?

I think Ollie has earned the right to be the main man, but we do badly need cover.

I've always quite liked Everton, although more recently they have tried their best to be rubbish.

So lots of possibles for the drop, but who would we actually LIKE to see go down? For me it would be Leeds, Leicester, and Wolves
