You know Jackson will score and give it the old Adebayor celebration.

It's combination of a lot of things, as others have mentioned. The manager, the transfer decisions, the owners. For me the never-ending churn of players as well. You build up connection with players and jnormally a few go and a few arrive each year, but we've had like 20+ ins and outs every year, I have no connection to any of them really. I wasn't even sure who some of them were against Brentford, because the names just all blur into one now, there's no point remebering them as they'll be gone in another year, replaced by the next "big" thing, by which I mean average thing but with big pricetag.

I'm just so tired of the same mistakes in the transfer market. We could literally have spend hundreds of millions of pounds less and just invested in a few quality players in the areas we need, but instead it's 40m here, 50m there on pretty raw youngsters, and about 200 wingers. A top quality CB and GK and we'd be so much stronger than we are right now.

I just don't like him.

It’s the obsession with these ex city youth players we’re just trying to get them all. Palmer Lavia Delap Tosin Gittens. I forget which person it is who worked there. Shields? But maybe focus on players who will improve us instead of reassembling your old youth team.

Struggled with those balls into the box all game, getting away with dodgy bounces and last-ditch clearances.

Take the piss with the line-up and what do you expect? Seen it time and time again with this team. If you mess around and rest players and play people out of position, we are sh*t.

Rosy retrospection. They were sh*t.

He was injured? Another Lavia?

Those things are inherently bo**ocks. Go back and look at the top prospets for any given year and you'll see most of them never go anywhere. https://www.theguardian.com/football/who-scored-blog/2020/may/01/premier-league-best-young-players-2010-decade-later Vito Mannone - Who? Rafael - sh*t Phil Jones - sh*t Emiliano Insúa - Who? etc... https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/goalcom-hot-100-the-young-stars-to-look-out-for-in-2011/blt51e0736d53f4ab22 Frank Acheampong - who? Juan Agudelo - who? Thiago Alcantara - hit Karim Ansarifard - who? etc.. Find some more and it's the same story. 99% of these top prospects/wonderkids won't make it. You can stockpile them if you so choose, but you'll be lucky if 1 or 2 make it into the first team. On subject, I don't think George will be a top player. The fee from Fulham would have been a good deal. but equally, i'd rather we gave him a go at improving than spunk £60m on someone like Gittens who we then still have to wait and see if they improve.

My god. That's Mourinho's music!

Jackson will score.

Pure panic signing because we missed Simons.

Realistically 3rd is the best we can get. Liverpool and Arsenal are stronger than us. City are a bit hit and miss, but they always finish top 4 anyway. The rest could be anywhere from 5th to 17th pretty much.

£20m on this kid. £18 on Kellyman. Nearly £40m on literal League 1 level players.

Watch him get left on the bench towards the end of the season so he doesn't meet the number.

Home for the day? It's nearly 5PM.

Would rather have given him the minutes Gittens is going to get.

You realise the obligation to buy might simply not be done anyway? Like we did with Sancho. He'll be back again next summer to torment jim.

Have we ever signed just a brain-dead player before? Honestly, it's one thing after another.

Bet Trafford's wishing he hadn't re-joined them. Back to the bench again.

Just face it. He's here to stay.

Far too many young players are signing up to this project. They must know we can't find a place for a lot of them.

Once again - who?
