Do this https://theeuropeanbarguide.com/bar-crawls-prague-the-royal-route/ I'd recommend picking up do you speak English, please, thanks etc in Czech as well. Takes the edge off otherwise frosty bar staff

We got good deals for Cannon and McAteer but that's down to the buying clubs being dumb.

Is it more likely he's just on a hot streak or he's actually one of the best shooters ever? The best ever players slightly out perform xG. Messi had 29 goals from 22.4 xG this season. If he carried on at this rate he'll get 20 goals this season, that's not happening. The average goals per shot in the Championship is 0.10 and he's at 0.29 so far, his career g/s is 0.16.

Me neither but repeating myself, we can't give them the benefit of doubt. We'd all have said we just wouldn't Pay £20-25m for Skipp Pay £5-8m for Ayew Pay £10m for Winks Pay £7m for Coady Give Vestergaard a new 3 year deal Give Thomas a new 4 year deal Not put in a cancellation clause in Edouard's loan deal We can't blithely assume Antonio will be cheap given his circumstances, we can assume Rudkin will get it wrong

4 goals from 1.4 xG - he's running very hot at the moment, good player but I think some need to temper their expectations a bit.

35 minutes for Jamaica across 3 games in June and 2 games for West Ham u21s in August - fit as a fiddle

Why try and pass to our forward line in fairness, he's had two shots from the halfway line or greater and came incredibly close to scoring both. Ayew, Daka and Carranza have 5 goals between them in 27 nineties

I don't even think he'll get that - if we sign him he'll probably be fit enough in February and possibly never sharp enough. Football age curves typically look like this: Now let's throw in a broken femur sustained in a car crash at 35 and voila!

We can’t give the club the benefit of doubt. Probably negotiated him down from £45k to £35k and we think it’s a win. It also means we have 4 ST options whose deals expire at the end of the season, meaning we’ll extend at least one out of laziness. Just put the money towards a striker in the summer

£10m and a 3 year deal has quietly gone under the radar as very, very dumb. 3 years without an option to extend has left us completely exposed to losing another player on a free (not that Rudkinbana would have sold him anyway). We shouldn’t spend significant sums at all because there’a always about a 50% chance the player leaves on a free. We have a great academy and the occasional gem we sell to fund idiocy.

If we anchor everything to the 10th percentile for anything - it all starts to look rosey. Genius

He’s going to spend half of his6 month contract getting fit. He’ll be another Carranza in that he’s just miles off it.

An asset in attracting first team, academy players, staff. It's worth doing

I agree but at 70 yards rather than 50 yards I think it can be forgiven. It's not a leisurely lob (sounds like a wank) a la Beckham, he's megged someone and struck it whilst running

Admittedly only been twice and both occasions were in December but the Bath Inn, Nottingham is always heaving. Great decor though

“Thunderbastard”

We’ve seen some promising centre backs and aside from Fofana he looks the next best. Super player and he should absolutely have started the first game onwards. It’s almost like we should trust the academy and let this be a lesson with Evans, Aluko, Cartwright, Braybrooke, Bruggs, JJ, Hutchinson et al

Fatawu’s goal is way better. I think it might be the furthest proper goal (i.e. not a Pressman or Begovic lump) I’ve seen. He was really unlucky with the Swansea effort - he deserves it for his ingenuity. Even during this ‘bad run’ he’s set a few up, incredible player and the idiots that have unfairly badmouthed him will rue it when he leaves

Seagrave incurs greater direct costs, whereas the ground expansion would have generated more revenue. In a sense the expansion could have helped fund Seagrave. Ground expansion was more time sensitive too. Capitalising on the fan demand and increased commercial interest would have made sense.

Seagrave is a huge asset still and it’s good we did it, but we should have expanded the ground first.

He’s made a career out of his physical attributes, he’s nearly 36 and he was involved in a terrible car accident. It’s going to take him an age to be match fit and regain his sharpness - which he might not do at all. He’s not going to come here for 5k a week either. This exactly the sort of decision making that leads us to signing him and extending Vestergaard’s deal.

This London pub talk has made me pine for one in the Hole In The Wall

We should have built a shit training facility for £120m. Vichai facilitated it, the decline started as Top began to take the reigns which was incidental to moving to Seagrave.

Wouldn’t want him even If he hadn’t bashed his legs to bits. It’s going to take an age to get match fit. Put the wages towards a fee and cheaper player who isn’t closer to 40 than 30.

I don't rate him particularly - the post was stating that's who we have contracted long term. We have 4 CMs that have started more than 3 senior games, Winks and Soumare's deals are up in the summer. So literally we have Skipp and Choudhury going into next season as it stands.
