Good! This is obviously a new one, because everything he said initially was forward looking.

 

[Stout]

Right? Maybe not believe all reports?

As said, he said absolutely nothing when he signed. I think his agent might have gotten into his ear and said, "Dude, time to be gracious." At any rate, he ticked the box, so he gets basic credit.

 

[Stout]

And now Isak probably costing his national team WC Qualification. I feel for the rest of the Sweden squad, but what happens when you sit out all of preseason? You aren't even fit to get on the field.

 

[Stout]

Woltemade, Woltemade, ole ole!

Huge CL match today against Barca. Any positive result would be massive. Howe-way the lads!

 

[Stout]

Ah well, it was a free hit. Didn't disgrace themselves. On to the league!

 

[Stout]

Dropping Guimaraes and going to 5 at the back? I thought Howe got it right against Barca, but he's got it wrong here. Looks like a playing scared lineup. Looks like a park the bus looking for a point lineup. I know he can't win at Bournemouth, but this is a bad, scared reaction.

 

[Stout]

Good solid win and advancing in the cup. Tough draw getting Spurs, but at least they're visitors.

Man, Bruno played like Helen of Troy with her ass on fire. (this is a deep cut joke no one will get--it's a line from Rome, a show Bruno Heller co-created). What? I like bad jokes, and puns are how eye roll

 

[Stout]

You set up negative and you play passive against a good team and you lose. Howe severely outcoached today. Punk move.

 

[Stout]

C'mon, after the heartbreak against Arsenal, gotta beat USG in the CL today.

 

[Stout]

Massive win. Can reset the season. Put Forrest to the sword on Sunday, as they should, and the Mags can get flying again.

Forrest is apparently back to earth.

Big time. Sold some good players (one to us!), didn't adequately replace them, and weren't prepared to also deal with Europe. Have already sacked their manager.

Yeah, their owner is an idiot. Nunes finally made them relevant! Egomaniac.

And Nuno just took over West Ham after they fired Potter! He never should have taken that Chelski job.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

I don't know if Nuno is just unbearable, not it's crazy how he builds clubs into legitimate, consistent squads that can occasionally fight and win European spots

It's like these clubs start believing they are overachieving and that finishing mid-table is a terrible thing - like they need another decade of being a yo-yo or sweating relegation before accepting the high side of their reality

 

[Stout]

The officiating in this game was gross. Good win against that.

 

[Stout]

Huge CL win against Benfica. I was cursing Nick Pope and his sheer incompetence with his feet when he panicked and gave away a corner for no reason. Then...well, I'll let the video speak for itself. I couldn't find a more specific clip, so here's the highlight reel. Start at the 6:03 mark and get ready for a wild play. Wow.

It always seemed inevitable with a crazy owner that it would eventually blow up.

 

[Stout]

Really crappy, puke worthy game for the most part, but Newcastle put Fulham to the sword late. Better late than never.

 

[Stout]

Nice job brushing off Spurs. Fulham at home is a good QF draw.

 

[Stout]

JFC.

 

[Stout]

Howay the lads! Big win over Pep City.

 

[Stout]

Well, that was disappointing. What a freaking moron is Pope.

 

[Stout]

Much, much needed win.
