This thread title keeps making me think of the song mOBSCENE by Marilyn Manson with its chorus "Be, obscene, be be, obscene", and I really like that song. So this is a good thread and I'm feeling optimistic today.
I'm annoyed the new guy isn't even on the bench. I presume we didn't get him registered in time. If we did, and it's a decision of "needs a few days to integrate with the squad" by Dyche I think it's a bad one.
I'm not familiar with that particularly work, but reading that post immediately made start involuntarily singing Faith No More's 'Be Aggressive', including the spelly outy 'B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E bit.
In a damning indictment of our summer recruitment, it's probably our first choice team and only one summer signing starts, and that only due to Chris Wood's injury.
I think that's a little unfair. Last season's team finished in the top half, we didn't lose anyone of note in the summer, and the recruitment was primarily to flesh out the squad for Europe. Obviously it wasn't a stellar summer on the transfer market, but it was never supposed to result in significant changes to the Premier League first XI.
