Re: Watford(dead rubber) H Sun 26th 4pm
Sadly from that list probably only Guendouzi will be gone. Cedric only just signed, and Xhaka is probably sucking Arteta's pipe as we speak. Willock will become the first player to make 38 subs appearances and do nothing in any of them
Might possibly get a couple of them out on loan
More likely is that we will be stuck with even more useless *word censored* once Elneny, Mavropanos, and Mkhitaryan return from loan

Stevo thought I read somewhere Mihki won't be back, can't remember where I read it though, he's on loan until the end of next season and then he's out of contract
Re: Watford(dead rubber) H Sun 26th 4pm
Thanks mate - that's actually brightened my day. The thought of that ManUre reject coming back and doing sweet FA again for his 180k per week was more than a man could bear !mcdowell42 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 6:47 amStevo thought I read somewhere Mihki won't be back, can't remember where I read it though, he's on loan until the end of next season and then he's out of contract

Considering the amount of crap he has given us over the years, I know that I will have a chuckle if we relegate them.
But, as I said, I am a sad (bitter) old man!!
Listen, I'm the Chairman of the Old And Bitter Bastards Club. If anyone doubts that, perhaps we could have a poll to decide it........I always win polls.

Re: Watford(dead rubber) H Sun 26th 4pm
I know I run the risk of upsetting the Unai Emery fan club on here but it was actually the reverse fixture against this lot early in the season that put the final nail in his coffin as far as I was concerned.
An absolute cluster fuck of a game, up there with the Newcastle 4-4, in so far as it was like an out of body experience where you get to see yourself unknowingly step out into the path of an oncoming double decker bus and all you can do is stand there and watch, completely powerless to do anything about it.
It was around this time we insisted on playing that suicidal stuff out from the back, where two defenders would stand 5 yards either side of the keeper for every goal kick (remember that fucking shit??!!). We would then rarely manage to string 3 passes together before inevitably losing possession in dangerous areas but we kept doing it all the same.
We could easily have been a goal down early on playing that kamakazi shit before a quick fire double by Auba put us 2 up. We somehow rode the storm to half time where I thought an end would be put to the self harm, but alas no, out we came and persisted in being the masters of our own downfall by keeping to the plan.
Watford had 31 attempts at our goal that day and incredibly TWENTY TWO of those came in the second half
Pretty much one shot every 2 minutes that half the majority of which came from our own goal kicks. The game finished 2-2 and truth be told we were lucky at that, it was fucking death by hari kari and he was toast for me after that game.

Re: Watford(dead rubber) H Sun 26th 4pm
Apologies DB!
The sight of a defender at each end of the 6 yard box with the keeper standing in middle about to take the goal kick was actually something I’d wiped from my memory until I started typing that last post.
Think it was a coping mechanism my brain had implemented to avoid me going fucking insane.

Re: Watford(dead rubber) H Sun 26th 4pm
You know I think it was that repeated goalkick madness game after game that really finished me with Emery? It was like groundhog day. The oppo would fuck up a chance and the second the ref awarded us a goal kick I'd start to feel nauseous.... I was actually less nervous when we were facing corners!rodders999 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 8:59 pmApologies DB!
