    He's said in the past that he is. That doesn't change how stupid it is for him to say that.

    Sorry. What’s stupid, to say they’ve had an uptick in form or that they’ve stuck with Amorim?

    I think there are plenty of other issues over which you lot could clutch your pearls

    It's unfortunate wording and I'm being not too critical of him for it but best not to sound too happy that the team we are playing next are in good form and probably don't refer to other teams managers as "the gaffer".

    I think you are expecting Obama levels of media savvy from MGW.

    Gaffer=Any Football Manager. Use not restricted to one’s own manager (Past/current/future/aspirational)

    Rules of reference to another’s teams form: acknowledge when they are playing well; downplay any bad form (no easy games, dangerous players, they can hurt you on the break, great spirit)

    You should know this shit. This is basic footballese. Are you Ange in disguise?

    Think you're wrong about use of "gaffer". Maybe not exclusively used to describe a player's own manager (past or present), but I think much more often used in this way than to describe managers in general.

    Also, you'll all love the bit about 9 minutes in where he talks about how xG is a guide.

    Anderson is a fan of the Toon and it isn't a problem. Gibbs White is a United fan, it isn't a problem. His shit form is though.

    We should play McAtee instead of MGW by either logic.
    Dunno if he's any good for us though.

    Sainsbury's delivery driver who just brought our weekly shop had a Forest tattoo. Must be a good omen.

    You know how the MGW / Spurs / release clause thing was never fully cleared up?

    I dont know if I am just stupid, or the article is badly written, but I cant make head nor tail or that. Dave, are you reading that as the agent threated the player in order to get him to move, or threatened the player in order to stop him moving? Or maybe its neither of those and it was some other 'thing' that was going on? Very confusing

    Whilst I'm obviously not seriously suggesting this was MGW (although you never know) you make a good point - there is no indication whether this was about a transfer (requested or declined) or a desire to change agent (I think I'd want to change agent if they had a gun) or something else.
    When I used to play FM if I ever got 'player x has approached to you to say their agent wants to open talks about a new contract' I would always pick the reply that went along the lines of 'I think you should change your agent as I don't think they are doing right by you'. It was always ridiculously satisfying if the player agreed and changed.
    I don't know if FM26 - out today I believe - has incorporated anything like 'player's moral is low after being threatened at gunpoint by agent'.
    Maybe next season.

    Some articles say it's a 60m rated player which did seem very MGW like. But the date was international break weekend so assume he'd be in England camp not on London street late at night.

    Anyone know who it's is?

    Destiny Udogie, apparently.
