While we’re talking past mismanagement, I randomly stumbled on Sandro’s FBRef today.

Scored 9 goals for Las Palmas this season, apparently he remembered how to run without falling over.

Done a brilliant job when you look at it.
It's a shame as I think we're seeing in practice that he and Moyes as a combo looks like it works well together.

Anyhow, yes credit to him and hopefully those who follow him can add and improve on his work now we have a little more to spend.

It feels like this phrase and variations of are everywhere now, but probably 6 months ago I'd never knowingly heard it. Where has the popularity in it come from?

Online culture. Same as things like ''take the L'', ''get the dub'' etc.

No idea what those two mean, the cool within me died a long time ago.

I think Thelwell has done a good job, given the circumstances and the shambles he inherited while Moshiri was still in charge of the club. It feels like we are in a much healthier position.

Pity he is going to Rangers, I’d have liked to have seen him manage a club that wasn’t a basket case.

''Taking the L'' basically means accepting the loss (as in L), and ''get the dub'' means getting a win (dub as short for 'w').

I've no interest in being cool tbh, but I'm online a lot.

I only saw for the first time the phrase “dub” to refer to a victory in a football match.

Not sure if it comes from Fortnite or PUBG but I definitely feel I’ve reached the age where I can longer keep up with that younger generation’s culture

Here's an easy way for the older generation to remember what a big dub is
