Kinda like we were this season.

As we say in s. Wales, "duneeeewwwwww"
"I'm so sorry Jonjo, my life is abject misery without you in it, I forgive you unconditionally. Please come home. Sheeps and Daffodils, James M. Hornby."
I watched a lot of Shelvey at Liverpool and the guy is briefly impressive in small flashes but his overall game is Championship tier.
I wouldn't say Championship tier. His occasional brilliance is frequent enough to make him worthy of a berth in a PL team, it's just when he's not being brilliant he is rubbish. He's better now than he was at Liverpool. Definitely not the kind of player with the nuts for a relegation fight, though, and that's why he hasn't lit anything up at Newcastle. I'd take him back if he wasn't such a cock about leaving the Swans. Can see somewhere like West Brom taking a punt on him in the summer. Classic Swansea curse in action again.
It is also true that I sign off all letters and emails with 'sheeps and daffodils'.
What does the M stand for? Morfydd?
I said it when he signed for Swansea and I'll say it again, he can easily become a solid Kevin Nolan level Premier League player with a good 15 year career in the top flight if he wants. But he strikes me as having a problem many young English footballers have of having lots of talent but the wrong attitude. See Morrison, Ravel. Or even Wilshere and Sterling and their love of smoking/hippy crack respectively.
Meredydd (sometimes Meirion)
We barely surged this time round! Spurs just totally s**t the bed, looks like they picked that up from us. I mean how easy do they want us to make it for them?
Finishing second despite being awful for half the season, hang your heads in shame everyone bar Leicester.
With the season now over (barring United v Bournemouth rematch) let's have a look at the poll options.
Sterling plays less than 10 games for City and promptly moves to Stoke for £9m
He's actually played 42 games for City and after a bright start has now found himself on the bench. However, no matter how bad he gets he isn't going to be sold as City desperately need English players to fulfill the homegrown quota. A reminder that Richard Wright - yes, that Richard Wright - is still on their books as a first team squad member for exactly this reason. He has yet to make an appearance in four years, even in the League Cup. Must be great work if you can get it.
Benteke has a decent season for Liverpool, issues come get me plea to Real or Barca
Benteke had a god awful season for Liverpool, issued a staying and fighting for my place statement, West Brom and West Ham both rumoured to be interested.
Rooney refuses to play until he's given a new £400,000 p/w contract
Rooney has barely played at all with injury. Rumours are that Chinese clubs will offer him this level of money and it'd probably be good for both United and Rooney if he took them up on that offer. And can you imagine his bright red face huffing and puffing in the heat?
Wenger buys 5 French 14 year olds, Arsenal fail to compete, Board refuses to do anything
Yep.
Big Andy stays crippled most of the season, appearing only for his traditional butchering of Swansea
He did indeed stay crippled and apparently felt kind to Swansea and let them off this year. However, the closest thing to Swansea in terms of play style is Arsenal and Big Andy went to war on Arsene's boys, getting a hat trick.
Chelsea player racially abuses opposition, is not charged due to being an ENGLISH LIONHEART!!
Almost. A player who played for the champions who wear blue racially abused a man in a casino and nobody cares because he's an ENGLISH LIONHEART and did you know 5 years ago he was playing in the CONFERENCE?! You probably didn't, it's not like it's ever mentioned or anything. JT for his sins was due to miss his last Chelsea games after being hilariously sent off but has now been offered a new contract.
Steve tries to convince us he's a spurs fan by predicting Tactics Tim takes Spurs back into the EDL.
True story time. Myself and DK were playing the majestic Rocket League with Steve and he is excited that Spurs may win the title. "Who do you reckon Spurs' best player has been this year Steve?" I ask, because while Kane and Alli get the plaudits I am firmly on Team Alderweireld and wonder what a real Spurs fan has to say.
An awkward silence occurs as Steve is unable to name a single Spurs player, let alone pick out who has been the best this season. After much goading we eventually say "surely you know Harry Kane" and he says "yes of course I knew him all along I was just trolling you." And there you have it. For me, Clive, this is the winning poll option.
The worst thing about that list is that I don't get to play with you guys. :cry:
And whose fault is that?
Off out to the Leicester parade in a couple of hours. I'll pass on EoFF's regards.
Will they let you back in Liverpool if you go there?
Liverwho? He's already got his KP Stadium season ticket ready for the autumn.
