I didn’t realise I was next to a large portion of onions! What a man - already a huge Club legend and I can see him being here for many more years!

People often bemoan a lack of loyalty from players, obviously Trent at Liverpool being the most recent example. But look at this thread. How much loyalty is there from fans to players? Once a player is seen as no longer being up to scratch it’s “get rid”, “fuck him off” etc. It’s hardly surprising players nearly always look after themselves first and foremost.

Fair. I just think the motivation of the two sides will be night and day.

They leave a place in our hearts and us them! It’s a lifelong love affair! Bruno truly is the beating heart of our team.

Don't think he's been at it all season tbh, bar the arse cup games. I reckon that could be down to the fact that he'shardly had a break for about 2 and a half years though. Maybe after a decent break this summer his form will return.

Plus they have a Georgian drunk tank as their badge. Embarrassing really.

Gotta love an algorithm but it is either too early or my brain is addled. Let’s just win. Or if we don’t, let us win the Europa league.

Small violin for their squad of 40+ players.

THE TIMES The Chelsea chairman and co-owner Todd Boehly has warned that the football calendar is too congested and feels that his players are facing too many games. Anyone fancy their space in the £1 Billion club world cup ?

Do they though? And how can you not? The moments they produce when they grace our pitch, when they enhance our lives. The memories and heart felt connection they make. Weaved in throughout our own personal life are the players who we identify with, feel for, who represent something great and meaningful to us. Off the top of my head, for me David McCreery, Glenn Roeder, Kevin Keegan, Mirandinha, Peter Beardsley, Lee Clark, Steve Watson, Les Ferdinand, David Ginola, Nolberto Solano, many more in the past and into our current era. They have all left something indelible with me and with thousands more. Bruno Guimarães is one of those players; someone who never goes even when they are long gone.

I would characterize Bruno as untouchable as well.

Fucking hell, man. That should have come with a warning.

Love him!

Probably shite, but it was rumored he could have a *thigh strain* that rules him out and allows him to attend Makemfest in that there London.

He's retiring here like. Guy's been nothing but confident and positive ever since he moved here - took a punt on us whilst we was fighting relegation, and he'll still be our captain when we challenge for the league.

Can you love a player more than Bruno? He totally gets the club and wears it on his sleeve. Would it be disrespectful to say he gets in the all time greatest XI already? I'm 37 for reference. I love it the most when he wins the ball back in a dangerous position, realises there is no where to go so shields the ball like his life depends on it. Then wins the foul and fist pumps to the crowd. What a guy!

Top no.9 when fit, he’s absolutely in the argument for me when it comes to the third position on the podium for best NUFC centre forward in my lifetime But the injuries and age have taken their toll, and it’s time to wave goodbye. I hope that we are 5-0 up with ten mins to go vs Everton and he gets a send-off. Onwards and upwards, hopefully we get an upgrade in the summer (though not in the looks department - our squad is about 20% less handsome automatically)

I’m getting more and more confident by the day! The atmosphere will be bouncing with a 4pm bank holiday Sunday kick-off and Pickford always increases the noise (hatred!) levels! INTO THEM!

Just chatting about it there, would much rather be playing Everton at home with our fate in our own hands than being looking to beat either Man Utd or Forest away from home

Just worked out that Everton have absolutely nothing to play for. Win or lose they can't move position or be overtook. Hopefully they are already on the beach.

I think the owners are totally committed to the lasses team and like the men's team, they want to see them competing at the top end of all competitions. I did wonder when Staveley left, if the same commitment would be shown, but this is certainly not the case thankfully. The latest news that a new Director of Women's Football is being appointed, backs this up also. I think we will see a big upgrade in the level of player being signed this summer. Last season, the signings were of mainly mid table championship level and we needed more players of a higher level. As above I expect this to change this summer. As I've said a few times before I am not convinced if the current manager is at the level we require, but I certainly hope she proves me wrong this season coming.

I suppose not every team can invest in the lasses like Newcastle are. Man U from what Ratcliff said seems to care not at all about them. Be upfront well before you drop a bomb if you feel they can't be funded. Seems like a longer term vision would be to support the lasses and what the competition can become and already is compared to the past.
