  1. Good footballer, would be of benefit to our other good footballers. Injury proneness is the main worry for me, always seems to miss a fair few games, but probably won't cost too much, at least.
  2. We had a few fairly long unbeaten runs under MON. Lots of draws and usually followed by awful runs, but still.
  3. Just too uncomfortable coming off his line and commanding the box. You'd think with his height and build it'd be a strength, but he looks so nervy when he has move. Can't get away with that in the modern game.
  4. We'll never win a league match with Olsen in goal. He's completely passive.
  5. Outnumbered in midfield, useless at finishing, nearly everyone looking a step too slow. Need to get The Donk™ on and probably another striker.
  6. Looks like as close to full strength as possible for the starting 11.
  7. Automatic extension with big raise after x appearances?
  8. Friend of mine said he said something about steamed hams? He isn't even from Albany.
  9. Indeed, yesterday Emery brought on protection for Cash, a replacement for Digne, a purely defensive mid and two forwards with pace for the counter threat. Also moved McGinn to the left so a left-footer would covering that flank in front of the LB. Clear how he was setting things up to see out the game. Not the right conditions for a CM short on match fitness.
  10. Me too, maybe I'm just so accustomed to him getting one on a goal kick I imagined his first in my Sunday morning haze?
  11. Wish he'd been pressed on the Stoke game and his general performances in the final third of his seasons here.
  12. Not hugely arsed about it as we got the league win, but still annoying to see another collapse. Emery will have learned a LOT about his squad from that.
  13. Castanets and guitar are more of a Andalusian/southern Spain thing. Basque would be things like pipes, pandero (tambourine) and accordion.
  14. The shape of the "lamp" could be a bit more distinct and aggressive, but 1 is at least not a complete snooze like 2.
  15. Probably no one's told him about poor Fred.
  16. Left at least in part because we wouldn't get him an Italian-speaking GK coach after Battara left with RDM.
  17. The people old enough to remember are too old to remember.
