It got tedious pretty soon after this thread was first opened

An expert on infectious diseases this morning on the BBC news said that number is now around 2.5.

You called it (apart from they’ve played an additional game: today’s against QPR). Their record since blowing it against Cardiff has been atrocious. I think they’ve taken something like five points from an available eighteen since then. The Biesla slump is definitely kicking in.

If he ever leaves us I’ll have a cry wank. Cry because he’s gone, but wank over the fact that I got to watch one of the most talented players ever to play for the club.

Very valid post and one for the Pitarch thread

He’ll probably be a Traore type character who will be too raw for us then develop hugely further down the line but at an entirely different club. I’m not sure he’s what we currently need in the here and now and don’t think we can afford him the time to develop here.

I did a Wesleyesque day at work today. I hung around in all the places I shouldn’t be, was never at my desk where I should be, and laid off work to my team mates whenever it came my way all the while looking grumpy and moaning at everyone around me. Some of my colleagues applauded my sterling efforts whilst the rest just called me a useless word removed.

DS said he “liked the hunger he saw in his (Drinkwater’s) eyes” when he met him. Now whether that was hunger for the game or hunger for a greasy kebab (cos that’s what ten pints does to a bloke) who knows. Either way, Smith clearly must have had a big say in his signing.

Sometimes I get so bored at work that I start doing some actual work. Anyway, good luck Danny. I hope he gives it his all and proves his worth.

McGinn will probably be match fit sooner than Drinkwater is!

So what you saying then...2/10 WNB or 8/10 WB?

Probably got pissed up on his way down to sign for us and smashed his Range Rover into the building containing the main server

Fulham are an upper end Championship team. We are an upper end Championship team (+ Grealish) but we just happen to play in the Premier League. There is no embarrassment here; it’s more of an indictment as to the quality of our shoddy squad devoid of genuine PL quality.

January is a great month

What a wonderful time of year. Back to work, everyone in the office is as depressed as **** because Christmas is over, the December slow down has finished and work starts to pick up again, and everyone feels like there’s nothing on the immediate horizon that they can look forward to. Not me though - I’ve got two weeks off at the start of Feb. Kiss my face.

How about Thomas Frank to replace Smith?

I’ve seen two seasons so far. Two of them in the first season (Martell and Bowers) come across as horribly arrogant whereas the three lads in the 2nd season are much more humble and grounded.

Traore is much better than either AEG or Trezeguet. Fair play to Wolves, they have the extra distraction of the Europa League, and their season started weeks and weeks ago yet they’re currently sitting in 5th place.

Good times...I used to go out to all these places too. I’d like to also add Bakers and Stoodi Bakers, Wobble, and The Steering Wheel to that list.

I have recently binge watched QB1: Beyond The Lights It’s a fly on the wall documentary following some of the most promising quarterbacks at high school level in the US. It’s fascinating to see how they are basically minor celebrities at such a young age (way moreso than a promising young footballer in this country), but with that comes various pressures. These lads have, in some ways, already made it because of their status as a local celebrity (arguably as national celebrities in the circles of top-tier high school football) but at the same time they haven’t yet reached the big time, so haven’t made anything at all. It’s interesting to see how they handle it, conduct themselves on the field/in day to day life, and keep grounded (one or two don’t and clearly have an obvious arrogance due to their talent). Definitely one for sports fans as a whole and not just those who watch American Football.

Allez, Allez, Allez is a shit football chant. The main lyrics are cack and the “Allez Allez Allez” part often sounds like people are blind drunk and just singing “Ayyy yuhhhayy yuhhayy” (or something equally nonsensical and incoherent).

Some mug already bought him

“Hey, you down there...I can’t believe you keep saying yes to meeting me! NOW PUT THE LOTION IN THE BASKET!”

I remember reading a Saints forum and the general feeling was that nobody cared he was being sold and instead they were happy some mug was willing to pay ~£13M for him. Some of them didn’t even see him as backup to Bertrand and thought Sam McQueen was the better option. He’s a Championship standard left back if I’ve ever seen one.
