Was just about to say that !

All I can offer is my experience of Marseille when we played in them in UEFA semi-final. I got so hammered before kick-off I lost my mates in the first half and spent the whole time just flicking the Vs at the Marseille end. The security to get into the stadium treat you like cattle. I didn't notice it be rough around but im from Wallsend. Has got a rep though. I think their fans rioted after the game. Hopefully he just got a bit drunk and will turn up soon.

As long as she is still warm?

Thats shit news mate. Hope he is found soon. Did he get in the ground?

Only a matter of time before his new mrs dumps him.

yeah I thought he went for a Dad-joke

I know loads of people that dodged it first/second time around and have got it recently. All been wiped out for a week as well.

Bappage. Great word.

Not sure a Paraguayan will adapt to the North East mate. Diego Gavilan all over again.

You knowzz it PaddockLad. Some people need to check the stats before they can decide if a player is good. Some don't.

Yeah, reckon he'll go Murphy. To be fair to Murphy he played like a young Cristiana Ronaldo when he came on against Villa.

I can generally see a good player by using my eyes. Call it a sixth-sense. (I know @Alex is going to mention Steven Taylor now 😝 )

To sum up.... Almiron is playing well?

Think he only has 18 months left on his contract so they might be consider it.

Instead of moaning about Referees we just moan about VAR now. Might as well just remove any technology especially the offside lines. I don't reckon they are that accurate unless you have some robot camera wheeling up and down the line following ball and player. Edit: I'd keep goal line tech btw.

Good time to integrate new players if they aren't necessarily required immediately.

What is the wizardy you speak of? Someone fill a brother in.

Just had a sweep of the Daily Heil and The Sun The Suns headline ls : "Rishi Sunak wipes floor with Keir Starmer in first PMQs as he vows to balance the books" I didn't watch it but I assume thats bollocks?

She might be the only one. If Labour were in charge and they did this there would be a national outcry (mainly due to the far right papers going mad). Tory party seem to get away with murder. Day on day.

I like Cooper. Someone mentioned she was similar to Starmer earlier but she is far better public speaker than Mr Monotone.

Think it may have been J69 (but don't quote me on it)

If he left it would be worse than a break up.

Thats because you are comparing Murphy to ASM. I think we've now mastered the right hand side with Bruno/Trippier/Almiron all linking up superbly and I expect that to continue. Anyway, proof is in the stats-pudding. So lets see what happens when he returns. Actually, scrub that. I couldn't care less. Im off to the Politics thread.

No, you are trying to use stats to backup something subjective like not taking into account form, confidence, change in tactics etc. Stats are black and white. Football isn't. Anyway, I will seriously be considering jamming two pencils up my nostrils if this is ever discussed again.

I don't think Villa fans are intelligent enough to shit themselves.
