Joe Hart’s having a good laugh in Turin.

this is the way, step inside ... 

Still call them the Chefs to this day.

If only we could go back to 1982 and the Freezer Bowl. When Men were Men.

Sounds like Chelsea might have been SIPG Shanghai’d

I loved Jenks in year one with Fat Sam, but he was ghastly before his injury last term. Sakho would be outstanding, would give us some pace and quality on the ball in the center pairing that we don’t really have.

Man, those abstinence only people really have a quiverfull of arrows ready to shoot at liberals.

a) So tough, because a 100% Andy Carroll is probably England’s best striker. I even challenge this over Harry Kane. AC is 100% unplayable when he’s healthy.

Would Batshuayi have provided the goals had he chosen us over Chelsea? It’s hard to say. I can’t think of a realistic target, maybe Britt Assombalogna at Forest?

b)…

I had so much hope for Zaza after seeing him for Sassuolo a couple years ago. That hope died a very horrible death about 5 matches into the season.

I left in 2010 after the first 600 employee purge had me demoted and taking a $7/hr pay cut. Seniority was more important than performance.

I used to work in management for Shaw’s Supermarkets in the Northeast. We would regularly have meetings on how to spot and turn away the Union recruiters from the Shaw’s stores across Massachusetts.

Edited to add: I never actually ever saw any union reps or recruiters at my stores, always wondered if it was just…

+1 “This is Jürgen Petersen!”

£5. Woof.

I can’t place all the blame on Payet. The summer signings were disastrous, our back 3/5 has been horrible for most of the season as well. Reid has slid back, Collins has dropped off a cliff (before his injury). Nordtveit is a defensive midfielder trying to play fullback. None of this is good. I’m hoping…

Yep, I read that exact same article. It would seem he does not handle adversity well.

I understand it completely, but at the same time fault has to lie with his agent for agreeing to get him to sign a 5-year extension.

One would think.

I sad something the regular soccer writer disagreed with and he banished me.

YES! Fernandes reminds me of an attack-minded Kouyaté. He’s so freaking long.

I think Lanzini was found out a bit this year after how good he was last year. Just needs to show a bit more bravery and be willing to get stuck in when he’s attacking.

It’d be nice to get Antonio on the right wing and to keep him there, I know his service isn’t the best, but he’s an absolute workhorse who can make…

Oh absolutely.

Problem this year was the unmitigated disaster our transfers were. Nordtveit is the only playing at all, and he’s been horrible because Slav insists on playing him as a fullback or central defender. Calleri and Zaza have already been marked for transfer, Roma is after Feghouli, Gokhan Tore was an…
