Wooops.

Yeah that’s fair enough. Just like me and @Rick being pessimists is fair enough

Or when people said Liverpool’s front three will burn out, and then you went on had that record defeat streak at home without scoring a single goal from open play.

Being concerned is just normal now. The fact that the results are still quite close and the game against Chelsea basically would be a draw in proper competition makes it look like we at least keep the score down and that's exactly how Arteta wants to play. Made sense for the first few months under his management as everyone thought he's bringing stability first and then he'll build on it but he seems to be content with it. A team full of attacking midfielders that gets caught out on the counter was a great period for us. We're not even as good as 5 years ago right now.

Just got an emial for an interview for a position I can't remember.

2-0 and you fu…..

Harvey Elliott needs to stay here this season. He is brilliant, and could be a really special player.

On a Churchill note, learned the other day that Jan Smuts, Prime Minister of South Africa was the contingency plan to lead Britain in the second world war should Churchill have died.

Do you think that’s likely or do you think it’s just things Erdogan’s saying to blame a hated group while public opinion over the government response to the fires has been getting more critical. If it is true, I’m not sure eco-terrorism is a great way to convince anyone to support them.

Tbh I don’t know how much of that was really our front 3 burning out. The biggest problem we had at that point was our best midfielders were playing at CB or getting injured, or both. And we absolutely ran Gini Wijnaldum into the ground by December - but couldn’t afford to give him a rest because we needed people on the pitch. It left us with a midfield that was unable to create or defend.

We offered him to Madrid to spite city Smith did a talk at Birmingham uni a few years back he said on Terry give me ambition rather than someone to plod, I like Smith but personally feel he will reach his ceiling before we do.

Buddy the Gecko having her afternoon stroll, the daughter let her out of her glass air-conditioned enclosured to stretch her legs plus she is shedding her old skin, she will soon have a playmate with wee Puddin when he arrives. She even likes watching tv.
