True. But only after getting it so spectacularly wrong with Ricardo. His signings were either spectacularly good, or spectacularly sh*te, with almost nothing in between. Anyway, may he Rest In Peace.

Wouldn't have a problem with that as most PL games will always sell-out (or near as dammit). It's different for cup games though as they are not included as part of a season ticket, and unless it's a lower league club at home to one of the giants it is not going to be well attended, especially if you can stay at home and watch it on TV.

His first game was a 1-1 draw at home against NP's Hull. The Cov game was the first game of the following season.

Tbf at least Noel has tried to do something different with HFB. Liam seems forever trapped in 1994, at least to me anyway.

Allowing Sky to stream all the League Cup games is not going to help attendances for a competition that was struggling anyway.

Only André, at both Swansea and Forest. Jordan left Swansea in 2018, a year before Cooper arrived.

He signed for Palace in 2018.

Yes it's a trade off. Vardy only averages 2.12 attempts per 90 for his PL career, with an average xG of 0.19 per attempt. Compare that to Kane, who averages 3.78 attempts per 90 with an average xG of 0.13. So Vardy tends to go for quality over quantity. Someone like Haaland gets both quality and quantity, averaging 3.84 attempts per 90 in the PL, with an average xG of 0.20 per attempt.

£325,000 per week he's on. I'd say our chances are somewhere between no hope and Bob Hope.

Albrighton never got more than 2 goals in a league season for us. His best assists tally was 7. Ayew, playing out wide, got 4 goals and 7 assists last season. 🤔

I just heard Jenas presenting the drivetime show on TalkSport. Is that a new gig he's got or has he been presenting there for some time?

Albrighton certainly dwindled after age 31/32. I think it's different for different players.

I think the old style A-F grading system for GCSE's was much clearer and more concise than this current points-based system.

Gary Coatsworth's huge garryowen for Walshy to equalise against Derby in the '94 Playoff final

Fuchs somehow ending up on the right-wing then threading the needle for Vardy's 11 in a row Vs Man Utd.

I'm thinking Reiss Nelson on loan. Probably now just a matter of convincing Arsenal to sub some of his wages.

Can't believe Brighton have spaffed £40m on Rutter instead of just playing this guy. Our gain though.

Backs-to-the-wall stuff for the majority, but infinitely more entertaining than Enzzzzzzo-ball.

I'm finding myself warming to our Blonde Bombshell.

I've decided that Windidipp rolls off the tongue better.

Let the Skinkdidi era begin.

Don't think Chelsea have been that bad considering the opposition. We'd be at least 4 down already.

Looks like our only chance of staying up is 38 0-0's.
