    We kept 5 in the league last season, two of which were in Manchester.
    We kept nearly twice as many in the cups with 9, most of which were in the Europa (7).
    The two that weren't were against Tamworth and Liverpool. Virtually the same team, really.

    Have to chuckle at the Matchday Uncut also working as a timelapse of the plastics emptying out one of the stands

    After MTV's contract with DH's AwayDays expired, a new bidding war commenced for the rights of the hugely popular satirical show and we're deligthed to announce that RCL-TV secured the rights with a multimillion pound, multi-year deal.

    So with that said, that's right, ladies and gentlemen, DH's AwayDays are back for season 8! To kick off the new season it's only right we visit our regulars over at Blue Moon, we're there so much we might as well get a room.

    PRE-MATCH:

    Lets get it out of the way, 3 points to Spurs and move onto Brighton.
    Works for me.

    I hate these lot.
    Not many like us, tbf.

    We are so overdue putting Spurs to the sword.
    Just wait a little longer, please.

    Spurs are already playing better than last season.
    Well I mean the bar was bloody low <laugh>

    In my opinion to win the league you have to do the double over these ****s.
    There's always next year.

    The hardest game to predict because you never know if Brazil are playing in the Spurs Kit.
    Well we do have R9...

    We have to score more than them. Either that or concede less.
    Genius insight.

    One positive is that Maddison is out. And Diego Kulusevski Maradona.
    Yes but what about Brennan Luís Nazário de Lima Johnson?

    Can’t wait to see Reijnders in the flesh rip these cockney tarts to bits!
    Joao Palhinha says "hi".

    Gonna be a walk in the park.
    For who?

    4 at the back is interesting - we’ll have an overload on them up front :)
    That's if you can get through the Sarr-Palhinha-Bentancur wall though.

    FIRST HALF:

    I see the refs are still ****s.
    Something we all agree on.

    Dirty as **** these, hope we absolutely finger them.
    Kinky ****er, buy us dinner first.

    ****ing hell. Dias is so bad on the ball. How is he banging Maya Jama with passes like that.
    Forgot he was with her... lucky prick.

    Spurs playing out of their skin as usual. There’s goals here for us though.
    Is there?

    Bloody Frank and his excellent hair.
    Beautiful, isn't it?

    They've got Spence at LB FFS, City.
    You say that like it's a bad thing...

    Vicario always seems to have a great game against us.
    He broke his ankle at the Etihad last time <laugh>

    Reijdners is having a stinker.
    He's up against a proper midfield today, son.

    **Johnson (again) 1-0**
    Wake up call!
    That's onside I think.
    I think he looks on :(
    Easy finish. No proper marking as usual.
    When you’ve players like Johnson scoring against you then you know your having a poor day.
    Is that Europa League winning goal scorer, Johnson?

    Look at Rico's reaction compared to Johnsons. Johnson is straight off the mark like he's running in a 40yd sprint race.
    The moment he sees a backpost run, even Usain Bolt in his prime wouldn't beat Brenaldo in a race.

    Look at the state of Lewis trying to get back.
    Lewis has been brutal, I can't believe there isn't a better option.
    Rico has to go. Utter liability. Slow as **** and always out of position.
    Get him out of the squad. Direct to championship.
    I do find it quite amusing that a club who've produced and sold many current Prem players, it's Rico Lewis they decided to keep, a player barely good enough for the Championship.

    Reijnders doesn't look the same player today as last week.
    Sarr Sarr Toure schooling him, nothing to be ashamed of though.

    Frank will kill this game and time waste to keep the 1-0.
    Wait for it...

    **Palhinha 2-0**
    Sunday ****ing league mistake.
    And that’s why ederson was so important.
    **** off. Seriously **** off. I wasnt going to get mad because we always start poor but this is unforgivable. **** off.
    Glorious.

    Time to question the Trafford as #1 experiment.
    After 1 and a half games <laugh>

    People genuinely tried to argue Trafford was great with his feet.
    Must be a Trafford thing, because those that play at Old Trafford aren't too great with theirs either!

    Palinha won't score for the rest of the season.
    That one will do nicely then.

    Spurs singing we're champions of Europe?!?!
    Because we are.

    Spurs bullied our midfield.
    Indeed.

    Poor so far against Brentford lite.
    Just wait til we become Brenford 2.0 then.

    SECOND HALF:

    This is hurtful to see a team bully us.
    I'm quite enjoying it.

    Have we got a midfield today?
    Yes, though you can probably find them in the pockets of Sarr, Palhinha and Bentancur.

    I hope pep stops this inverted RB bullshit with Lewis.
    Inverted FBs... We're all too familiar with that nightmare!

    Frank has had about a 6-7 games as spurs manager and they look more like they’ve been together for years compared to our disjointed team.
    The Frank Effect.

    Forget the players here for a min. We have bigger problems. The whole set up doesn't work anymore. System has been sussed out, we had a good run.
    Is Tiki-Taka dead? Has the meta finally shifted?

    Spurs haven’t been great either, they’ve just played with a decent press, high tempo, and intensity….all the things that made us a great team in the past.
    Played with all the things that made you great but we haven't been great... solid logic, buddy.

    Romero and van der ven look superb in defense.
    Because they are.

    Wonder what Savinho is thinking as he watches this?
    Get me to London asap?

    Is this any better than last season?
    Well it was 4-0 last season so technically yes.

    We're becoming a midtable club.
    You always have been, the £bns just gave a false position.

    POST-MATCH:

    Tottenham celebrating like they won the league.
    Careful everyone, celebration police are on patrol.

    I thought Spurs were better.
    Same.

    Dominance is over. Whats next?
    Hopefully relegation.

    Person 1: Trafford was solid and didn't do anything wrong!!
    Person 2: Did you go for a pint about 5mins before HT?
    <laugh>

    Typical Thomas Frank performance at the Etihad, but with better players.
    Now imagine what he can do with even more better players, Daniel!

    Reindeers realized today he is not in Kansas anymore.
    Not in Lapland either.

    Van Der Ven gets into our side easily. So does Bentacur and Paulinha.
    Didn't spell a single one of their names correctly but appreciate the praise for them. Though do Romero and Porro play cricket or something?

    Thomas Frank has Pep's number.

    I went exploring there, and God the entitlement really is something else.
    An object lesson for supporters of a club how NOT to
    behave when your club wins the lottery.

    That aside ...


    "Lets get it out of the way, 3 points to Spurs and move onto Brighton."

    was the only objective and pragmatic thing I saw written.
