OK very funny, how much ransom do you want to give us back the real Richard Walker?

I’ve been too hungover to write anything today as didn’t get in until 4 am this morning after celebrating big time. I’m now on an extended celebration with a little help from some Chateauneuf-du-pape which has brought me back to life. Last night was truly incredible. I was in the Scabby Taps at 5 and whilst the atmosphere was good I don’t think anyone expected what actually happened. I predicted Baggies would win 3-1 and they would dominate and outpace our pedestrian midfield. Well, what do I know? I am a whining cunt and Bielsa, Philips and co have proved me wrong. I’m not going to go through the match or give scores because I’d give all of them 10 but I would say Alioski was simple superb. I’ve never been a fan due to his play acting but his work rate and determination last night was up there with King Billy’s. I’m sure when things are not going so well he’ll annoy m3 again but nobody can take that MOTM performance. Will Douglas start again this season ? Tyler Roberts - I said he couldn't play as a no 10 dropping deep. Fuck me, what do I know ? He was fantastic in that role and the way he drops his shoulder and accelerates away from his man is devastating. To be fair to me I said he could be a player and there’s no doubt he will be. I also said Bamford will score more goals than Roofe, and that looked like another dodgy assessment given the last 2 games but he came good last night and with a fit Bamford from the start of the season I-think we’d be 6 points clear. Bamford and Roberts up front gives us at least 50% more option than Roofe on his own. One last comment ... Jamie Shackleton. This lad is another Lewis Cook. I was in despair Tuesday night, tonight I’m in the clouds. Life is good. This is the b est it’s been for 20 years.
