This might be the best analogy ever.
I get what @sk8arrog8 is saying, and he grates my nipples as well.
My real theory around him is that heās the sort of guy to totally piss you off and annoy you when you arenāt acquainted, but as soon as you get to know him heāll be such a good mate and always buy you beers.

I just thought it was Bants that City Group bought him for New York City loaned him to Man City so he could score against Chelsea.

Hmmmm. I donāt know really. Iām annoyed that we let Digne go a couple days before they sacked Benetiz.
Van De Beek is a decent signing even though itās very short term and who knows which Dele Alli weāll get. Maybe Lampard will get him back to playing well but Iām not holding my breath. Our centre backs are POOR so I would have improved that area first. Keane is so slow and his best days are long gone.
What about Newc? You staying up?

Trippier, Bruno (surprised no one else went in for him), Wood, Targett and literally just now Dan Burn, boyhood fan and ex-season ticket holder and looked good for Brighton this season.
I mean weāve bought tried and tested plus a midfielder who looks pretty fucking decent in Bruno. (Not even gunna try and spell his surname) UCL regular with Lyon, caps for Brazil.
We havenāt been that bad, our CBās have been shit. Lascelles awful, Clark even worse (he rejected a loan to Boro), Schar looks better, but yer dropped 21 points from winning positions ā¦
I think we will stay up with those signings, make it to summer and itās a whole different ball game for us I think.
Whose starting CB for your lot? @sk8arrog8
I think youāll just about stay up. Same as us probably. Our centre back pairing switched between Keane and Mina/Holgate. Poor standard of CBs for a Premier League team. Thatās where we are going to struggle the most and with the very erratic Pickford in goalā¦ā¦.it worries me.

Shame we couldnāt get another striker.
Joelinton is playing much better now thatās he moved into a more attacking midfielder role but it kind of leaves us relying on Wilson and heās pretty injury prone. Canāt see Woods getting many goals but would love to be proved wrong.
That said it was the defence that was the main thing that needed fixed quick and theyāve really gone in there.
Seems like Lingard would have been a goer if Utd hadnāt put that mad 12 mil fee if ended up avoiding relegation.
Promising that it looks like none of the new signings have relegations clauses as well.

We arenāt much better there. How olds Keane now?
Just give Trippier captaincy and thatās a huge step in the right direction.

Rites Trippier should be captain, Lascelles is dink. A proper liability. Heās becoming more and more like Steven Taylor imo, which is never a good thing.

Still a selling club I guess? Maybe itās hard to get out of that habit, once youāre in it? Them selling Robin van Persie to United, to help United win the title will never not be funny.

Greenwood gone from Nike and Fifa 22.
Oooof, that was quick, and quiet.
Loosely related is this spectacular climb down by Raith Rovers after giving rapist and thug David Goodwillie a 2.5 year contract. First of all, the womensā team captain quit, shortly followed by the rest of the womensā team and the sponsor dropping a lifelong association with the club, author Val McDermid
If I ran a club Iād not have offered him a contract but he could take the club to court now couldnāt he? He and that other player werenāt convicted. Maybe they are guilty and they are indeed total scum for all I know.
Civil case would say otherwise.
