It was just a joke (don't fret @GENTLEMAN) Yorkshire people are always referring to Yorkshire as God's own County, and I am sure @mjmooney can live anywhere he likes so doesn't literally have to live amongst them. And it's supposed to be Grim up north. A very weak joke written after I had cracked open the second bottle of vino.

And it's supposed to be Grim up north. A very weak joke written after I had cracked open the second bottle of vino. My first exposure to 'up north' was very grim, a few episodes of 'Geordie Shore'. "Ya naht Geordie if ya d'nut hav ah tan like" which translates to, "You're not Geordie if you don't have a tan (with the word like thrown in at the end for good measure)" Bloke's getting a spray tan and looks more fluro-orange than he does sun-kissed, and more manicured and pampered than Paris Hilton's handbag dog. Soft as a baby's bum. I had a sneaky suspicion these people were a bit 'unique' so I looked up North English culture and lo and behold, it's meant to be a straight talking gritty working class edge. When in Rome I suppose. Edited September 11, 2020 by A'Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely understandable that his scoring increases and assists decreases. Yeah but his dribbles decreased to under one a game. I hope he can bring that back up so we aren't reliant on jack to keep bringing the ball forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a lethal poacher with a high workrate will make everyone on the team better at carrying the ball because defenders will be pulled out of position. I hope.

est1874 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I see Ollie will wear #11 after Nakamba vacated it for him. Marv is taking #19 instead. Doesn't matter a jot in the grander scheme of things but fair play to Marvelous all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 A defensive midfielder who had as much attacking ability as I do speaking Welsh ability should never be #11. I'm glad this has been rectified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing we lacked more than anything last season was someone who knew when to be in the box on the end of attacking plays. Given the choice of a poacher's instinct or a dribbler, I know which I'd prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going he maintains the poachers instinct whilst getting the dribbling if we have Rashica, edouard and him as our front 3 we could conceivably have 4 players who reach 10 goals this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
