Perhaps FIFA should have banned the FA from operating for 12 months.

9th behind the other 5 and Wolves, Everton and Leicester. And I am fine with that, as long as we have some properly integrated academy players, genuinely and permanently challenging for the starting 11 by the end of the season I.e all of CHO, RLC, Mount, James. No silverware. No problem.

It’s insane letting Luiz go now. January maybe, but not now with Rudiger still out. What happens when Christensen pulls a hamstring against Utd? Our first choice CB pairing suddenly becomes Zouma and Tomori. That is SO ridiculous, that we are in severe danger of out-Chelseaing ourselves.

This is all becoming a bit of a circus. Not really appreciating the fake "will he, wont he" bs. Personally, I despise that culture of trying to raise a players commercial profile, based on absolutely nothing. The very last thing he needs is hyping up even more.

Gary's got his platforms on.

Certainly for the last 20 years or so.

...Oh. Possibly the worst part of any back 4 that I can remember.

Paying off Frank’s contract in January? I’m joking 🙂

You’re pretty close I think 1) 3rd or 4th or any trophy 2) 5th to 8th with some decent football 3) below 8th

Unfortunately he is right. Dont see how we can better last season from a results perspective. We can certainly play some more attractive football. Just a bit nervous of us losing the first 3 games and the tongues start wagging "I told you it would never work and I was right". I'm absolutley right behind Frank, I'm dubious about the reaction around these parts if things dont get off to a JM1-style flyer.

Our first 3 games are very loseable.

I presume that means we cannot register "free-agents" as well?

This opinion is factually incorrect.

I've always gone by the rule that if you are offered a great opportunity, you have to jump in and take it, regardless of whether you think you are ready or not.

Looks like Patrick’s been at the custard creams.
