They’ll be allowed to blow £200m+ again with no punishment.

Refuse to watch this if Ameobi is in it. Ashley apologist.

Tbf he was always doing this after every loss every week.

Yeah, they’re clearly improving under Amorim but being held back by some of the pure shit they’ve got. I still think we’ll win. We’ve probably got to.

Funnier than I expected. Still think they should be spending their time practicing football instead of risking injury in the kitchen.

The fact that he's very unlikable means people vastly underrate him. Bruno Fernandes not getting into our starting mid ffs

The game against us is relatively meaningless for them. A loss or a win may see them lose or gain a place or two at the end of the season, and 3-6 million quid (or whatever the money per placing is). However, failure to progress on Thursday, will see them miss out on relative fortune, no European football, a pretty big impact on their PSR moving forward, a major impact on the number of signings, and not being able to sign the level of quality in players they need. I maybe wrong, but, I would be gobsmacked if the likes of Fernandez (he is the key to their play) starts on Sunday. Maybe Garnacho also, with Mount playing in his place. I think the likes of Shaw, Mainoo, Eriksen and Lindlehof will probably start also. I can't see their manager risking an injury to his key first team players, when there is so much on the line. What I have seen their support are generally wanting this also. Time will tell though

Just another attempt to derail our season.

I get Anelka vibes from the lad tbh

Yeah, absolute dick move. An awful feeling until I got the archive.

That's without Haaland for most of those games as well. Not happening.

Again, and I can’t highlight this enough, he walks more than any other player in the league. Yes he’s quality with the ball and when things are going well but he’d a massive worry off the ball and if not. Not too mention unless we’re changing formation he’s not an improvement on the first XI. Albeit as a 10 in Joelintonless 4-4-1-1/4-2-3-1 it’d be very interesting to see how it worked albeit you’d be stifling the other two somewhat. And this is someone who has always thought Howe has never really fancied Big Joe.

To be clear, I think Cunha is a quality player but I just don't see how he fits into our system. If your looking to strengthen the ring wing it feels like a round leg in a square hole to me, we won't see the best out of him in that role imo. So that leaves us with the question of are we changing system and if we are the right wing problem isn't fixed and your dropping either Joelinton (one of our highest paid players btw) or Gordon (ditto).

Wins - Man Utd, Ipswich, Everton Draws - Palace, Chelsea, Brighton Defeats - Villa, Arsenal That's 65 points, which seems about 50/50 for fifth place.

Or we sign some kid whose ceiling isn't the Championship at the prime age of 28.

Mackems getting hard ons over the headline on RTG. Desperation again on a nothing story. The level of threads containing increased faux outrage, comfy blankets, not interested in footy anymore, and the usual basic lies since our cup victory, have went up quite a dramatic level. I thought when our takeover happened, their response and utter fewm/bitterness was glorious to see, but, our cup win has sent them madly over the edge. Us getting Champions League football will send them over the edge, whilst if we don't, it will be seen as one of the greatest days in their footballing lives. We may well be playing them next season, as the standard is the worst I've ever seen in the Championship, and I wouldn't put money on any of the play off teams who qualify winning. Could quite literally be any of them. I would have preferred Burnley or Leeds to finish in third, but, it's looking more like a Sheff Utd team in poor form will be the ones. If the mackems don't go up this year, then they will be forced to sell players and have another three teams within the league with a lot more revenue available to them. Doesn't affect us, they are miles away from us and that will only increase moving forward.

"A summer with 3 quality recruits, and we are comfortably ahead of them again." Seems to be forgetting we will (hopefully) be recruiting a few quality players ourselves . Just concentrate on getting ahead of Brentford and Palace again you silly cunt

Man City 2v1Palace Brighton 3v0 Leicester Forest 2v1 Everton Southampton 0v3 Villa Arsenal 1v1 Brentford Chelsea 1v2 Ipswich Liverpool 3v1 West Ham Wolves 2v1 Spurs Newcastle 3v1 Man United Bournemouth 1v2 Fulham Newcastle 3v2 Palace

For me Cunha is a Joelinton upgrade, he has most of the same attributes, and is much better on the ball. He can also play anywhere across the front line or off a front man if we need to change things up. Going from 1 thread where Fernandes walks into our team as our best midfielder, but Cunha doesnt fit in. Baffling.

I get the jitters but they were awful against Lyon.

Cuhna has a feel of one of those players the club references when they say they're not been looking to do business but will make a move if the right player comes up. On one hand, he'd absolutely solidify our depth in the front 5. On the other, it'd be somewhat a square peg in a round hole if they used the limited funds we have to purchase and play him at RW at the expense of specialist RWinger. Don't think either school of thought is wrong tbh.

Our performances definitely improve against the "bigger" clubs though. Would expect an improved performance from the lads with it being Manchester Reds & the dangle of UCL football.

I’ve a weird feeling Man Utd will beat us. They are much better than many give them credit for and we aren’t playing that well ourselves. Probably wasn’t helped seeing just the one magpie today!

Urgh this kind of AI is as horrible as mutton chops himself

a few on the old red cafe can't accept the different trajectories of the two clubs, a good few think they are in for a mullering
