Andrew

What does he actually do anymore? Should've sold him to Barcelona

I don't think our forwards are the issue this season, I'd prefer better of course but yesterday there just seemed to be so little service or support from midfield that we could have had anyone up there and it would have made no difference. We need a better operator than Perez(who has gone nowhere but backwards since he arrived) in the number 10 role and more quality in those two base of the midfield positions than we saw yesterday.

A mate of mine got a gear fit 2 with his phone contract that he never used so I've bought that off him cheap. Bike gear all arrived the other day and the bike has arrived this morning, so now I want to finish work...

3-1, we'll have these, they're shit.

No, they sold Arnautovic to west ham and replaced him with Jese on loan. I'm not sure the 5 million or whatever we paid for Joselu factored into it all that much.

eh?

Smarthwatch to link up with Strava then next, there are about 8 billion of the bloody things...

Aye, football weeklys first couple of episodes since Richardson left have been crap. the Totally Football Show has been good so far. In less serious football pod circles the Football Ramble are having a new one starting next week call On The Continent with Marcus Speller, Luke Moore, Andy Brassell and James Horncastle which will probably be quite good.

8 in 28 games but spread over a few seasons, mix of injury and not being as good as Sergio Aguero keeping him out...which isn't that unreasonable. Hes a good footballer, never been prolific though.

If I can make more than £500 for a charity for playing video games I can outdo £850 with this!

Well...I'm locked in now, just ordered a whole heap of gear to get started! Just shy of £600 on a bike and about £250 on other gear and now I can't stop reading up on activity watches and GPS's. This could get expensive

I think you need to chill the fuck out for a bit.

Stoke will have the worst attack with Burnleys players?

Dunno, apparently Birmingham are in a different region to Villa and West Brom too.

Why are newport in the north section and cardiff/swansea in the south? This is nonsense!

What's this competition?

The what?

World class is such a bollocks bracket anyway. Every premier league player is better than 99% + of other people who play football in the world they're all world class. Every international player is one of the best 30 from their entire country they're world class. Management is even worse, Zidane has been able to handle a dressing room filled with an absurdly elite level of player but could he coach Burnley as well as Sean Dyche? probably not tbh.

timescale we're looking at about 12 days I think, which doesn't concern me too much between now and next June I should be able to get to a point where I can do that or I'll have failed badly. I've floated the support question to the group but I think the idea was for it to be unsupported, I've been looking at touring/hybrid bikes and would likely go that way anyway from my reading so far.

I think theyve a solid reputation there too. The Orange Crush and Fender Rumble range seem to live in about the same price bracket, I'd be surprised if either was anything less than decent.

Have any of you lot done Lands End to John o Groats? A mate of mine has asked if I'll do it with him next June for charity, which I've agreed to because why not? But, I'm not a particularly experienced rider and haven't actually owned a bike for a couple of years so there is some work to do.

Fender Rumble 40? Not super cheap mind, got a budget?

Clark, Dummet, Diame, Perez, Gayle and Shelvey have played quite a lot of top flight games tbf. Not as much as some of our squad last time but we still have a decent amount of PL experience in there. Then the likes of Mitro and Ritchie have a season at least.
