The anti stats brigade will hate this one, but thought this was interesting regarding big Chris. https://theathletic.com/3346644/2022/06/07/premier-league-pass-networks/

Wonder why they didn't see/look at the offside before the foul, wasn't expecting it to be given after seeing the first replay.

IP banned the lot, there is an update to do to the board software which will involve me taking the board down for a day or two, now that the seasons properly over I will look to get that sorted fairly soon, hopefully cuts down on the spammers but we do go through phases of getting a load of them.

Starting to consider posting Casey as a credible source a creche-able offence tbh.

Two years and three months after first applying, myself and Mrs A have been granted residency of New Zealand! Absolutely massive news for us that opens up the possibility of us just staying here forever now. Huge news and a huge weight lifted wondering if it was ever going to come through for us.

Yeeeesssss, a mate of mine has one, they're great! The necks are fantastic.

I demand a source for this.

I honestly think he'll be fine, I don't think he'll post the 14 goals or whatever his best for burnley was, because I don't think he'll play enough to do so. But by next season we'll be the best side he's ever played in, and he has a record of getting goals in the league. He'll do fine.

And this is the bid edwards was backing

I think so too, with trippier and whoever we bring in at left back supplying actual crosses and a preseason training with the squad I can see him having much better output next season. He's managed at least ten every season for a chronically uncreative burnley side before now.

Is there anything in that tweet that isn't just a summary of stuff we all already know? edit: or that isn't completely unverifiable if it doesn't happen

If the Ekitike deal is happening then I reckon we should go for Cavani on a free. Perfect mentor, can still bang the goals in, big name. Its a terrible idea, but he is one of those players I've always wanted to play for us.

If its between us and everton theyve got to spend very carefully and we can probably offer him more money with a more visbly upwardly mobile club.

Didn't realise he's only been at City two seasons, we need more depth at CB and he can cover left back as well which is useful.

I'm not sure about that one, I think he thinks hes a midfielder but has almost always played at left back for City. He's obviously got some quality, you don't get picked by Pep so much if you don't but he's also always the first person they're trying to replace. Is he a defender? Can he managed being a defender in a team that don't dominate games all the time? If not is he still actually a midfielder when hes played at left back so much? Weird one.

If that is true and our response isn't to immediately walk away laughing our bollocks off we deserve to get fleeced all summer

An absolutely apoplectic wyki in 5...4...

Haven't read any entry but some good takes in there, one of the few places I've seen actually writing down that Lampard actually had no better a record than Benitez.

Newsflash for you there mate

Depending on other suitors I would be tempted by Tolisso, just left Bayern on a free after having a really rough time with injuries for them. Its a rite of passage for new money clubs to sign someone who is permanently injured who could be class if he ever played, I think this could be ours.

I should have added some sort of giveaway that I wasn't being serious tbh, I've always liked Ancelotti

Shit at everton though wasn't he

He was, then he accepted the Austria job and was going to split roles, now he's just going to Austria. The Rangnick plan made so much sense when it first happened, genuinely looked like Man U had realised what was wrong and were actually sacrificing a season to get their big picture back on track and yet it has managed to go completely haywire before the seasons even fully over.

Not at all, liverpools xg was 6.12 across their three finals this season and they scored 0. Nothing confusing about it, they bottled it in front of goal and were lucky to come away from those games with two cups.

All of them play different positions, that makes no sense
