  1. "Last 10 games we sit in 14th with 12 points. And in that run of 10 games we played; Saints, Forest, Bournemouth, Everton, Palace, Villa to give it some perspective on how **** god awful it is." -from the fighting cock. They are above us based on early season form. Current form, which is what matters right now, is the opposite story. Looking forward past the summer, if they don't get the managerial appointment right and they lose Kane, they could be next season's Chelsea.
  2. Good signing for a team chasing the playoffs, but ultimately going to get sidelined if they get promoted. I think he's a decent player for a mid table championship club.
  3. 4 red cards in 222 games. Kienan Davies has 3 goals in 73 league appearances, so by your standards he's basically goal-a-game. Moot point since he won't come here anyway, but he's a quality player.
  4. Agreed. Leicester, unlike Everton and Leeds, have a carcass worth picking at if they go down. Maddison, Barnes and Tielemanns shouldn’t be in a team that gets relegated.
  5. I know one. He lives in Portugal. Makes it even more confusing.
  6. Currently playing his trade for AEL Limassol in the Cypriot First Division. Everton-level recruitment tbf
  7. Next two games are Man City then away at barcodes. They need 4 points from West Ham and Spurs. Hope they get three on the last day of the season but are still relegated.
  8. I worked three days after my first was born and I was hanging out my arse. It's a factor.
  9. Ironbunam is not a direct replacement for The Donk. Different players.
  10. Yeah, this is up there with "can we sign two Man U players on loan" in terms of debate. But you're right, top 7 for Europe.
  11. Heard that Southgate wasn't impressed with the goal. Said he should have passed instead, then tracked back.
  12. Chelsea mid-table, Liverpool off kilter for a large portion of the season and Spurs in freefall. This is a chance to get UEFA cup qualification, and it may not repeat itself next year. Would mean a lot to our summer recruitment plans too. I think those saying they don't care about Europe this season are glossing over how unique a chance this might be, and if we take it we could be taking ourselves to the next level well before we expected. Think next season will be a lot tougher to crack the top 7, but if we make Europe and sign the right players we could embed ourselves in the Champions League mix over the next few years. Disclaimer: I've been drinking on a school night.
  13. @duke313 few knew. @messi11 I hope you age as well as this did mate.
  14. If we beat Fulham on Tuesday it's effectively then a four team mini-league for 5-8th, with only the bottom team not getting into Europe. Us, Spurs, Liverpool and Brighton.. If you could go back to the end of October and tell any Villa fan that this is how the season ends, they'd laugh in your face.
  15. I get the intent behind what you're saying, but at the same time if some guy who tips the scales at 30 stone gets called fat on Twitter, I'd be shocked if it was the first time he'd thought about it. Lad owns a mirror.
  16. Imagine seeing this man's jib and not liking the cut of it.
  17. I've said it before but I'd be really interested to see who Southgate picks once slabhead is playing for West Ham next year
  18. "three goals and five assists in 28 LaLiga games" Cameron Archer does those numbers in a week.
  19. Canada has a huge amount of firearms. The difference is legislation and regulations. No open carry, and you have to have a reason to own one (self defence isn't a valid reason, so either sports shooting or hunting). The ones you can own and have on public land (for hunting) are unrestricted class, mostly long rifles and shot guns - not many semis (but you can still get one in 223 rem same calibre as an AR15). No handguns. For sports shooting (handguns, most semis, restricted class) you do an additional day of training and need an additional permit for each firearm that lets you transport to to a specified location, and you have to travel by a reasonable route with no unnecessary stops. If you want to take a restricted firearm to a gunsmith, you need to apply for a separate permit to take it there. AR15 was banned based on the culture around it. Ditto a few other firearms. Long story, I have mixed opinions on efficacy based on what the stated aims of the ban were. Both licences require a background check including personal references, you have to declare any recent (two years I think) redundancies or divorce / seperation, need sign-off from your partner or spouse if they live with you. Mandatory 28 day waiting period, typically 3-5 months for processing. I can go to a big box store and buy a rifle + ammunition today if I want. It's not like it's inaccesible. Plenty of people have a good reason to own firearms. The US has an issue with regulations.
  20. Love the idea but you know they'll just take half the money and find some unknown world-beater.
  21. The absolute inverse of an Emery RB, unless we're playing two of them.
  22. Best kind of adoption. Don't have to feed, bath or put a highway to bed and no-one complains if you drive over one.
  23. Worth mentioning that the victim was a white guy carrying an ak47 strapped to his chest at a protest, not a black guy. Not excusing the offender, but details matter - open carry is dumb.
