Even at 19 0.36 xG+xA isn't exciting in Ligue 2 but I'd rather go after this sort of signing than an Ayew or BDCR 99/100.

Just not true I'm afraid. James was neat and tidy but didn't excel at anything and he was laboriously slow. A big reason we struggled in 14/15 was because we had James and a 34 year old Cambiasso as the only central/holding midfielders for the bulk of the season. It's no wonder we were overran so often.

It was funny that we just had to accept getting £35-40m for him because we went down. then a week later they paid the same for f ucking Livramento to be their second choice RB. Crap negotiating.

He played 40 games for us and left as soon as he could. Amazing season but I dunno, as time passes the colder I feel about him

There’s an element of longevity to it I think. I don’t think Kante is really. Throw in ability, character and a bit of fun too. Of the title winning squad it’s Vardy, Mahrez, Albrighton, King Drinkwater, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, and Schmeichel.

He’s played 17.6 nineties for Newcastle in the PL - he’s got 10 goals and 4 assists, if they think that’s bad they’re absolute morons. Deserves to start in the top half for a PL side. Newcastle have built an unbalanced squad.

Ulster fans were well represented pretty much everywhere. Not very often City and tigers fans are around on the same day

Our academy director is also the director of football. At most clubs having an academy man in such an influential position would maybe mean an overzealous academy emphasis but we have the opposite. Rudkin has an almost unheard level of autonomy and as a former youth coach and long term academy employee (since the millennium) he uses this unprecedented position to plump for… managers and a recruitment like Cooper et al that want Ayew and Decordova-Reid. He’s f ucking clueless

As time passes by, despite the obvious talent it’s no wonder we went down with Vardy, Maddison, Barnes, Tielemans & Perez as our most advanced players. Completely ineffectual at halting the opposition build up. It just exposed a bad defence but they got the blame for it.

Seems a really weak tackler 1st percentile for dribblers tackled is crap

TopFoxes sounds better I reckon

Seagrave before expansion was such an error. I’ve said it before but one increases revenue and one incurs huge costs, we did it the wrong way round entirely.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels?

Let me see that Moooooong

If he cares and he's still this negligent it means he's incompetent, which also means he should leave.

We’ll run out of the get out of jail free cards soon but the root cause - poor strategy, recruitment and even worse negotiation will remain.

The board deserve the PL and FL kicking us out the leagues entirely as we'll keep claiming we don't belong to either division

Down to 6 now I think. I regret not better documenting the pubs I’ve been to.

I’d rather CL or EL than the conference. They’ll win that and put another star above the shrub.

No, it made a loud and unexpected alarm sound on our mobiles. I guess they overcompensate with the area but we’re the Rothley side of Mountsorrel so not particularly close.

The mobile alert for the Barrow flooding was awful.

Went into the Craven arms after a serious detour to The Copper Fox post match on Saturday. Excellent exterior but Black Country Ales are homogenising the decor of their stock by the looks of it, could have been the Salmon. BFG was well kept but a mate drank half a pint vinegar flavoured Star (idiot should have sent it back.

Alves must start
