There's something about Poached I find very offensive to my working class roots I'm afraid. Also the Yolk is something which I tend to put up with rather than enjoy and try and limit it's involvement.
I know - poached has always seemed to have been the province of the la-de-dahs, but it's just boiling an egg without its shell.

(I've just had my dinner but the idea of an Eggs Benedict is unbelievably making me hungry again!)

I love the fact that some of you are debating the merits of different egg cooking methods in the Dele thread. He might not cook eggs but he’d be proud of the debate all the same ?

I have full confidence in Jose. If Alli needs to be sold for the greater good then so be it. Fergie used to sell players in there prime all the time. With us likely bringing in a striker we have to many players in the forward positions. If there is a demand for Alli and a good fee to be made. Then just like with Poch i thank him for the memories and wish him all the best.

Dele is more of a baked beans man apparently

He's a good egg is Dele, just needs to come out of his shell and show Jose he's not Yolking around. Benedict.

It’s part of growing up, learning to fend for yourself.
seriously you’ve never boiled an egg at 33? ?

I mean... I've lived alone since I was 17, travelled 32 countries solo and started 3 businesses... I'd say I can fend for myself :p

But nope, never boiled an egg.

Moral of the story, don't judge someone by their baked bean knowledge

Please boil an egg this weekend and eat it and report back. Then we can take your business experience seriously.

I would say poaching is just frying with water ?‍♂️

Dele seemed to lose a bit of edge after he signed a new contract. He’s shown flashes of brilliance now and then but has been no where near the standard he was before that. Jose has tried to unlock the old Dele but it’s not happened so far. Maybe dropping him entirely for two games is the spark he needs?

Most of us at some point in the last couple of seasons (when Poch was in charge as well) have said he needs dropping after a string of poor performances. It’s finally happened and now people are shocked and so is he and the players. I think this sends a great message! The untouchables are no longer untouchable, we are looking to win things and nothing but your best will do.

It’s not like Jose doesn’t give second chances if people put the effort in (Ndombele). I’m looking forward to Dele’s response tbh, if it’s more of the same then maybe it is time to cash in.

I've never seen a poached egg that didn't ruin a plate with all it's Yolky bullshit
If your not into yolks why are you eating eggs?

The white part, I still eat the Yolk but I'm not a big fan, the poached egg just allows the yolk to run amuck. You need to have your yolk working for the team or something which relates this to dele.
