The Fish

And if ASM moves abroad or doesn't reproduce the output, we'll have the 1st and 2nd best. By the by, Iheanacho being 4th shows that that table isn't a great representation.

I'm not sure if that's true. We've produced a couple but nothing like West Ham, Everton and the like. And our best aren't near theirs.

It's obvious why you two are arguing. There's no football to talk about. ASM's performance metrics are excellent, but it's a smaller sample size because he's not played that much, 17 of his 31 appearances have been from the bench, and 40% of his assists came in the Man City game at the beginning of the season. We've scored 74% of our goals without him starting, 82% of our clean sheets, 79% of our wins, 75% of our points, 69% of our xG. I'm not saying that he's to blame or owt, simply that we haven't really missed him.

New album by the Libertines?

Of course if that player then flops, his love for Liverpool is sharp swept under the carpet. And obviously any transfer that didn't come off is because the player is clearly motivated purely by money and they wouldn't want a player like that anyway. You know because Liverpool famously pay their players with seeds and compost for their allotments.

Yeah?

I'm still a romantic, and if we had a squad where ASM could play a cameo role to great effect, I'd be delighted. But we don't, so he can't, so I'm not.

What? He is Australian.

If ASM going means someone like Szoboszlai comes in, then I'll help him pack, to be honest. I love watching ASM and he'd be a great player for cup runs, weaker PL opposition, an impact from the bench but... he's one of (if not) the most saleable/least integral players we've got.

My opinion is like sunrise, it's coming whether you want it or not.

Because being gay isn't a bad thing, but being unemployable is, you fucking bigot. I know you're set on Peterborough now, but I could have recommended Stockport which is definitely on the rise and shouldn't be a massive house price difference?

Take her to York and find an 'antique' ring, cost like 50% less than a new one and if you're lucky it might be haunted.

Watching 1883 at the moment. It's good as well.

A real man sticks to his guns. Australian's are supposed to be all manly and shit, right?

Not the big name that will have their genuine world class stars getting their driver to pull a U-ey on the M11.

Arsenal were favourites to sign Bruno. Weren't Milan favourites to sign Botman as well?

We could accommodate all of them. Maddison wide right ahead of Almiron Szoboslai centre left ahead of Willock Viega centre mid ahead of Longstaff.

Wait, who's the cunt here? Gemmill, Everton, or me?

No. Death of a thousands cuts.

Right, I've been on here for literally decades and I've been abused, insulted, mocked and derided throughout. I've taken it all in my stride, but this, this shit is a step too far. I will fucking Flounce. A flounce the likes of which you have never seen.

On oddschecker we're 5th favourite for the title but still only 16/1. Oddschecker has the mackems at 20/1 for the Championship title. 10th favourite for promotion, at 7/1 As an aside Everton are 6th favourites for the drop at 4/1.
