  1. This is a role playing game and with God as my witness I will play no role in killing any lass with massive jugs.
  2. Sounds like you now accept that he is the best manager though. Just not by a long way. OUR FIRST CONVERT!
  3. But the discussion was who is the better manager and Renton said you can't compare eras. You can. And now he just has.
  4. Or feelings over trophies. It is possible to objectively compare the two managers despite the difference in eras tbh. It doesn't belittle what Keegan achieved or what he meant to say that Howe is the better manager.
  5. Sounds like somebody can't handle THE TRUTH.
  6. I've just took the screenshot from the email that just landed but it reckons Al took way more stickers than there were people so you definitely got gypped. Anyway, show's out on Patreon. I'm studiously consuming in order so I might get to it a year from now.
  7. Aye both mint and both will be turning up on telly which is good. Disgustingly handsome too in his youth. Nobody should be allowed to be that good looking.
  8. I couldn't believe Howe saying in that other video that they take training and then they go and watch back the video of the session to see how they could improve the session. I mean it's fucking class having him as our manager but I couldn't hack him as a boss if I was on the coaching team. WHEN AM I SUPPOSED TO SKIVE EDDIE!?
  9. @spongebob toonpants @PaddockLad @Cruyffjust in case What badge did you two get?
  10. Ah it feels old as fuck. But I find myself skipping through the talky bits a lot less than I normally do and I don't know if I'm just telling myself the storytelling is better cos the game looks so shit, or if it actually is. I'm enjoying it now it's on casual though. Walking into every room with my big fucking dwarf balls in a wheelbarrow and kicking fuck out of everyone.
  11. Aye I agree but that's not really a role that players should have any reasonable expectation would exist at the club. One of the owners there to cuddle them after the match and give them life advice and stuff. No other PL club has that. Absolutely brilliant that it was there for a while and clearly made a massive difference to some players and to Howe and his team. And it was probably needed at that time, but not sustainable. I totally get that it was a massive wrench when she went but that specific thing thst she was providing can't be directly replaced.
  12. Here's the Assistant Player Liaison Officer getting in on the post winning photos. That's her LinkedIn profile pic.
  13. I think we have replaced it you know. It's a player liaison job and we have got a team in place doing that now. Probably put in place by Staveley as well. The fact the players got used to her as a mother type figure and felt the loss when she left was unfortunate, but I don't think the support has disappeared or anything.
  14. No, cos we had to make those buys in that first window or we'd have gone down. They were largely responsible for the Anderson thing though, but for the right reasons. My issue is with the legends that have sprung up, like the idea that "everyone we signed under Mandy and Mehrdad was done in secret, why can't we do thst anymore?!", which just wasn't true. They also benefitted from being able to sign people when the promise of the takeover was that we were going to be the next Man City. People know that isn't true now so we're a harder sell than we were, despite the progression of the club. Basically my issue isn't with them, it's with the mythologising around everything they did and when things go wrong for us, out comes the legend of Staveley and Ghodoussi. I think they did a brilliant job and she comes across as a genuinely nice person.
  15. I've had to put it on "casual" difficulty cos I keep getting fucking battered by the baddies. In my defence, I don't think I'm remotely using the "party" combat in the way you're meant to, but honestly trying to work it out and constantly getting laced is not enjoyable. They could make casual a bit harder though cos I'm just walking through everything now. That's a shame that the latest one was shit. I'd say you'd def enjoy Avowed if you like this though.
  16. I "like" her Douglas. My issue was more around the idea that everything that was done by her and her fella was pure perfection that the club could no longer live up to.
  17. The one who defected yesterday is Bake Off Prue Leith's son. She's a horror as well.
  18. Aye, Howe all the way. Keegan was the perfect appointment at the perfect time and he gave people massive pride and made them believe that they could have a successful football club. And he came within a whisker of delivering it. But Howe is the one that actually delivered. He's not one for the impassioned speech or the romance like Keegan, although in his own quiet way he does say some stuff that is quite stirring, and he clearly has all of the players fully bought in. Anyway I think he's mint. It's only nostalgia and a dislike of the more grubby side of football these days that makes people put Keegan above Howe imo.
  19. Aye it's further up this page, ya dozy fuck!
  20. That's when CT had to back off his stroke rate significantly, I reckon.
  21. If it was ranked in order of sexiness, I'd be sitting in the Chairman's seat.
  22. Aye only his 4th full season as manager and 2 of them have been CL seasons. Ridiculous.
