I'm sure it will change many times by Thursday, but Mims is my wish at 24.

It only takes one team to fall in love with his measurements, but early 2nd would surprise me for Claypool.

Really good episode this week. This season is already better than the last.

I'm not going to panic until the window closes, but unless something materializes quickly, it isn't looking good for us. Spurs have bought Gedson Fernandes, Steven Bergwijn and made Lo Celso permanent. United looks like they're closing in on Bruno Fernandes. Even Sheffield has made a couple of purchases.

Meanwhile, our two known targets are Cavani, who has already chosen Atletico, and Piatek, who Spurs seem to have a lead on.

I don't want to make any rash purchases that will prevent us from going after main targets in the summer, but at the very least we need another warm body up top.

A legit Keeper. Hell, PC on his headgear would have been an upgrade this season, even at 40+ years old.


Hindsight, but getting Navas in return for Courtois would have been a much better, and much cheaper, move.

Sign a CB

We need a top CB so bad. There are 4 good options for 2nd-3rd CBs on the squad, but none of them have what it takes to lead the back line.

Tough call, but where do you all rank the transfer needs? I'm going LB, CB, CAM, GK, ST, Winger, but you can make an argument for any order of those.

If we finish top 4 it will be like last season where everyone else just blew it instead of us earning it. Given the circumstances of this season, I'll take it but there's been so many opportunities for easy points that we haven't capitalized on.

I'm not totally letting Rudiger off the hook, but he did have two to mark there. Kepa should have done better. He should be winning more balls inside the 6, but doesn't. Frank and staff need to figure out how to deal with the arial threat ASAP. The entire backline plus Kepa have been at fault the entire season.

That game fricking sucked. Mount sucked, Tammy wasted the few chances he got, Reece's injury, Kante is ineffective against a low block.

Hopefully Liverpool do what they should against United tomorrow.

Its amazing yall dont realize you run more when you are leading, therefore you have a better record when you run more

Was coming in here to say the same thing. The "x-x record when running y times" is a very flawed stat.

Warren Sharp, who runs a predictive analytics site and is a consultant for a few NFL teams, has commented before that in general a lot teams over commit to the run and do not throw the ball enough. I'm not saying this can be applied to the Saints, because with all analytic arguments, it is situational based. My point is just that if you want to refer to the analytics community on running the ball, the new argument is that passing is more effective in general.

I don't think we'll find another Guard that will give us as good of snaps as Easton did for $4m. Easton should absolutely be on the team next season.

I'd entertain a package starting with Winslow and Herro.

Frank said yesterday that RLC has had "a few setbacks over the last two months." I didn't expect him until at least the start of the new year anyway, but man does this suck especially given the match that the injury occurred. I was hoping to see a Kante/Kova/RLC midfield trio at some point this season.
I just listened to the whole album and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the share!

I thought it was a decent slogan attempt, given the Mardi Gras Indian/NOLA affiliation, but it is starting to seem too forced at this point. The tipoff routine with the big drum is pretty cringey.

Not much of a difference, but they are on Stubhub for $60 right now, including fees.

I don't think Hulu has it either. Not sure any streaming service does atm. That will probably change soon.

Sling's site shows that they have NFLN in the "Blue" package, and RedZone is part fo the $10 sports add-on.

Damn it... Despite them increasing their prices, I've been pretty satisfied with Vue. Like others said, they seem to be the only service with NFL Channel and Redzone.

Yeah, I could have made it a lot simpler by acting earlier, but this link gives you a good idea of the requirements for different matches.

Had I planned it out in July, I could have gotten the 10 points I needed just paying for Chelsea membership ($36) in July, Chelsea in America membership ($40), and the Grimsby League Cup match ($26), for a total of $102 before buying Spurs tickets. Instead, I bought both memberships ($76), Lille ($96), @Everton ($88), and Bournemouth ($144) for a total of $404 before Spurs tickets. It will still be worth it to see that match, but spending $300 less to do so would have be nice as well.

A friend of mine was in London last year, made a last minute decision to go to the Chelsea/West Ham match, and used Stubhub not realizing that third party sellers are illegal there, making it a risky transaction. The seller was supposed to meet him two hours before kickoff, and he couldn't get a hold of him until right at kick so he thought was scammed. He ended up getting in, but the listing said the tickets were in the Matthew Harding stand when they were actually in the East stand.

At least he gave himself a solid 30 minutes to come up with a bunch of half arse excuses as to why the trade didn't happen before he has to start threatening to fight everyone in his Twitter mentions.
