Surely nine, ja?

Very exciting this. Can't wait.

Already been sent this

Got to love a good sneaky business striker

Was actually hoping we'd get Marseille. Cool. Even though that's more of clubs we know.

Bit boring this, all clubs we've encountered in our European adventures already.

What the hell? Another hour?!?! I love Zlatan , but this shit is horrendous.

Wow. It really is a different time.

That's good. Tragic but good.

Haven't seen this, but he's the perfect match for that club.

So deflating and sadly predictable against these cunts. 11 minutes man, it's always such a sucker punch. Proud as punch obviously, but that doesn't help us much. Sticking it back to 2-2 was and would have been such a statement.

He's acted like a selfish cunt, and also I resent him for a potential stunted start to the season but nothing changes from today. The result of the game is anecdotal really. We knew a defeat was a possibility and it's obviously going to wind us up a great deal. But give it 48hrs of cool down and we're back to the plan. Protect our asset, tell everyone to fuck off, get him back in on a working relationship for now and go from there.

Draw at Villa and losing against Liverpool would not be that big of a deal for our season. But losing him for 3 winnable games could be catastrophic. Great.

They should be tackling play acting, diving and flopping with everything they have. Biggest disease to the game and its spectacle. So of course on paper they should be using it for yellows. Simple quick review without stopping play - into the refs ear, such and such incident was a dive, bringing game into disrepute, yellow. Play on. Simple. But it's also impressive how little VAR has done against simulation and managed to let it be even more rampant.

Hope the crowd focuses purely and solely on supporting and chanting for those who are on the pitch representing the club. No wasting time and breath on anything else. I'm actually quite worried that they won't.

We all know, but can only re iterate - it's absolutely horrific how the transfer business is still continuing into the start of the season. All sensationalism, all noise, nothing about actually playing the game of football. It's a wider issue of course but what an absolute grotesque mess. That's even before we get into the one sided cartel TV opinions.

There didn't seem to be any issues when Jude was at Dortmund. We've all seen the arseholification in the last couple of years.

Was wondering the same yesterday seeing the number of pages ramping up. What was the turning point between hero and zero, and what the ratio is for the zero phase. Like a metaphor for his legacy at the club. With time and every extra page, it just keeps getting worse and the good times get gradually overshadowed and fade away.

A transfer request would have made sense in a wider and different strategy, and from a "don't be a coward and just own up to what you want" point of view. But if he hasn't done it so far, there's now zero point doing it after last night. It's not an obligation for us to sell and it's clearer than ever that this isn't just about an amount - it's also about getting replacements and power.

The draw happens before the window closes as well... If ever that has any incidence on anything.

Yes, important note to hit that Mister Isak unfortunately missed.

"Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates." It's like he's a child "I hate you - I want a new family" "Sure, ok. Night night, see you tomorrow"

And I am liking the last line of the statement : "Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates."
