I'm colour blind mate, not blind! People always ask me "How do you know when the light is green at the traffic lights"...
Colour blind also. Never really affects my life until some **** asks me to prove it and I can't see the boat in that test.
I've done that book test thing a few times, sat there saying "A...eeeerrm T... eeerrrm N".... wasn't even letters, they were numbers. Useless. But some people think you can't see any colours... like I'm living life in black and white. The only time it really effects me is if I'm choosing paint or if I'm playing FIFA... yellow ball in the snow... absolutely pointless.
I think going forward it's an improvement. But we haven't improved at the back, and that will come to haunt us many times this year. It's going to be another tough year for us, but if we survive this season, we have the foundations to move forward.
My daughter is asking me for an explanation as to what is so funny!! I told her and she didn't get it (she's 5 years and 2 days old)
Now the window has closed and we've seen most of our singings in action, think we've had an excellent window. I think we've got a good team despite the lack of gelling time and fitness. They're going to get better. Happy days.
Early assessment Yedlin: hasn't played, can't judge, seen his speed and it's phenomenal, hope he has the ability to match it. Mathews: Unlucky with an injury, only have preseason to go on which isn't enough to judge. Kaboul: Shakey start and dropped out the team but has been outstanding since coming back in. Coates: Poorest signing so far for me. Needs to up his game. Will have to wait to prove himself if Kaboul keeps up this form. M'Vila: The nutter who was banded a liability and written of instantly has committed 2 fouls in 4 games and is absolutely head and shoulders above anybody else in the squad. This isn't next level, it's 4 floors up. Ola: Very early days, he's so unfit but has a lovely touch and neat pass. He's an absolute unit, strong and great in the air. As he gains fitness we'll see he's a grafter too,. Very happy with this signing. I ear marked him as a target we should look at when the window opened. Lens: Pace we've missed so much, he's caused problems every game so far and i expect him to be in among the goals and assists all season. Borini: God I've missed him, even unfit he worked his socks off. We know he's good, great to have him back That's 8 signings and only one which has disappointed me so far that being Coates.
Agree with the above. If at the end of this season we get rid of Graham, fletcher and co. We will have more room to play for a few more signings of the quality we've seen this season.
Yep, Dick may stay on if we improve. He and Congerton look like a match made in heaven. Bringing in such quality to a crisis club stuffed up in the north east of the country is no mean feat
