We have spent c.£20m this calendar year and find ourselves due to finish it rock bottom of the division.

The prehistory of this thread comes from me and Taro talking about the line matching during the preseason. It's hard to pay attention watching online, so I had to look at how Housley is matching lines using the NHL's html reports. Normally I would sit on this for a while, because it's difficult to tell if the numbers are right, but this is interesting for me, so I'm going to go ahead and post, and if I decide the numbers are wrong, there's worse things in life than being wrong on the internet.

NEW YORK (AP) — You know all those things you wish would disappear but won't? Us, too. Highlights of the things we're over in 2017: UNICORN EVERYTHING Please, rainbowy unicorns, stop throwing up and pooping all over everything. Also, you can keep your horns, tears and "snot" to yourselves. The whole unicorn thing built in 2016 with special pink-adorned toast and other disturbingly pastel-colored foodstuff.

That is the opinion of Alan Shearer, who has launched a scathing attack on the Tottenham ace. The 21-year-old has not scored since his fantastic double against Real Madrid on November 1. Since then, he has been desperately short of form and was lucky to escape a red card after his horror lunge on Man City star Kevin de Bruyne on Sunday. Last season, the former MK Dons midfielder scored 22 times, bagging the PFA Young Player of the Year for the second season running. But instead of flourishing from there... Читать дальше...

Dropping seven of their last eight matches, while scoring only six goals during that span, made Newcastle heavy underdogs against an Arsenal side that have played their best matches at the Emirates. Arsenal had to rely on the majestic brilliance of Mesut Ozil, who scored a volley from the heavens, to scrap a 1-0 win. That Arsenal is still struggling for fluency is troubling... Читать дальше...
