Death by Football

The worrying thing is we just signed a keeper that can’t get ahead of him for wales. How bad must he be?

Agree. We won two of those trophies in that time. Usual big club bias that shouldn't trigger me yet still does.

I didn’t realise it was the Jersey Mike’s final already. Buzzing that we’ve made it all the way.

Do you have a copy of “Useless Footballers” by J R Udkin?

Well he won’t live long without his colon so could be accurate.

Great news he’s gone. Trying to remember when I felt this happy about a new signing and you’d probably have to go back to Tielemans or Fofana. Amazing that the all the best transfer news we’ve had for the last half decade has been about who’s leaving not arriving.

That must have been a challenge on Saturday

I won’t be happy unless he starts tucking his trousers into his socks like MON

Probably end up with Macquarie bank calling in their markers then using the stadium as a giant cesspit to store all of southwest water’s effluent run off. It won’t be noticeably different from all the useless toxic shit floating around in there at present.

Mixed bag on the incomings: a couple of unknowns from Europe who may or may not come good; a couple of seasoned pros; a complete ghost. I'm happiest about the outgoings even if a couple are loans. Waving goodbye to Vestergaard, Choudhury, Daka, Ayew, Mavididi, Winks and Skipp feels like the end of a shitty era. Shame to lose some good youngsters but that was inevitable with the relegation. I guess you can't judge the window until the end of the season really but it does feel different to the last few windows where we've done nothing or just bought shit players on agent recommendations. I'm happy to take some positives from it without going overboard on the praise.

It's the hope that kills you. See Patson Daka, Islam Slimani, Ayoze Perez, Demarai Gray, Kelechi etc threads for the exact same comment each year.

Yeah I was being facetious. He's one of the best players we have here and whether we keep him as our player or as someone else's it doesn't matter. As long as we get a good fee for him and a significant sell on.

But if that's the deal won't he then be blocking the development of one of our young players? Jeez this League One thing is tricky.

If we keep this up I might actually have something nice to say about the club for the first time in three years.

Loan to Charlton. Replace him with a steaming turd on the training ground. Job done. We promote.
