The Fish

Good news that. It's a weird season so far. Yes we're in the bottom half, but we're only 4pts off 4th. At a glance we're in 11th and so strengthening in the window must surely be a priority. But honestly, we could maybe get by with just an uptick in form to our average under Howe.

Oh, so you one of those fancy boys?

Are we sure? I mean he has taken on the responsibility...

I'd rather a 50yr old, than a 50yr stretch. You absolute danger.

3-1 Woltemade, Tonali, Gordon

Alreet Epstein?

We pretendy Posh Geordies have to stick together. Like the pages of the Kays catalogue you used, because you couldn't afford proper porn.

I defy anyone to get to 6 seconds without chuckling.

If you can't link to the right time, at least give us a fucking time stamp.

No shock that 2030 is being mentioned given Saudi's "Vision 2030" boondoggle. I wonder if stating 2030 as an aim came from the club to get the owner's more interested, or if it's come from PIF?

60s, 70s, through to new stuff. Kid's got better taste than most grown ups. He's asked for a record player for Christmas. He's not fucking getting one, but he's asked. He has a smart speaker in his room, and I've set him up with his own Spotify account, so that'll sort him out I hope.

You know why this is? It's because my lad doesn't have his own Spotify account so listens to his pretty limited playlist ad infinitum

Spotify Wrapped can eat a big motherfucking bag, of motherfucking dicks.

No idea why Schar was brought on. Get someone who can keep the ball in midfield, or at least give Tottenham something to worry about.

Fuck Isak.

Yup. And we've seen a couple of promising young midfielders go to Pep's Man City and end up doing fuck all. End of the day we were forced to sell him and managed to get £35m, which nobody thought he was worth at the time. I'm happy that a local lad is in the England team and doing well in the Premier League, but the way some people are carrying on it's like we sold prime Messi for £5 and a handjob.

Hey now, lets hear both sides of the story. Y'know, for balance.

I worry that you don't understand what this iteration of "AI" actually is.

If something can impact their home form I could see them dropping fast. A few losses and their fans will turn. They might not have if they'd not got used to winning at their place, but now, if results start going the way of the metrics I could see things getting unpleasant.

At some stage though we have to say that they're doing better than expected. Yes, they're overperforming the metrics and, yes it's likely to revert to the mean at some stage. However by the time it does they may well end up in the conversation for European competition. Which is bonkers. They've a decent 'keeper and their manager has set them up to believe they can compete in this league, if nothing else. I'd love nothing more than a post AFCON collapse, but honestly I think a combination of endeavour, luck and opponents' profligacy means they're likely going to be absolutely fine.
