Are the commentators reluctant to praise us? Or am I very sensitive?

Not just you. It’s the narrative. The neutral is interested in who will win the league (not us) so that’s the focus.

Is Lino injured or just not getting a look-in at Plymouth? Was hoping to see him against Leicester yesterday.

Funny enough, Google Maps has a bright yellow Lexus sports car at that location. Are there fancy apartments on that road or something?

Odds for him to win most assists are very generous, 10/1. Bookies not backing him to win top scorer either, which makes more sense to me.

If Arsenal (as rumoured) came in for him in the summer, what would be the minimum price you'd accept?

There is no way we could replace Ollie with one footballer. The strategy would have to be to analyse and break down Ollie’s key attributes. His creativity, his assists, his goals. To find these qualities and others in three forward players.

You should read things properly before making such comments.

Okay

Anyway, good on Jhon. That’s six goals this season from him. Compare him to say Jordan Ayew, who’s had a long and lucrative career at the top of the football pyramid (10 years in the Premier League, 100 international caps), and it’s clear Jhon can do even better than that. Great work by the scouts.

I think that Ait Nouri chance was very high. However he’s a left back. For me Robbie fowler getting that chance should have a higher XG than a left back who’s scored once in his whole career. 

I dunno, Robbie Fowler must be nearly 60 at this stage.

Well done Robin.

Ally McCoist is a plank.

Olsen played well. A few played well. We lost to cheats.

Whilst he didn't cover himself in glory, I think you gotta look at Olson - He looked surprised they'd even had a shot from there. 

No. He looked surprised the ball came through the wall.

67 minutes in and he looks absolutely exhausted.

Had some absolutely lovely touches, but there’s still a lot of development to go.

“Fletch”

This will end up like Thatcher and the miners.

6-2-2 terrible ball incoming

I’d be happy enough with 6-2.

This times a million. It should be disbanded.

The UN doesn’t exist to bring us to heaven (world peace) but to prevent us from hell (nuclear war). It does that job.

I am not sure disbanding it would make the world safer.

Just quoting this so I can look at the gif again.

Between him, Kosta, Buendia (return), Mings (return), Ramsey (return), we are really going to have a lot more squad depth next year.

Duran’s determination and maverick style will be a pain in their side and catch them a bit. Moussa or Leon will score. We’ll still lose.

Outrageous talent for a 14 year-old.

I haven’t counted all the houses. Let’s says there’s 400 houses at 200k each. Offer 10% over. That’s £220k per house. That’s 88 million right there. 

All hypothetical, but even that first row of houses next to the gardens would be enough for the club to do a lot. Can’t build a new stadium but opens up expansion for three of the four stands. Expands the North Stand and Holte car park areas as well.

If Grealish would come back for reasonable wages, say less than £100k a week, I’d take him.

But I’d do it just to put him in the bomb squad training with the U21s for the rest of his life. That would be great. Money well spent.
