Fed up of young talented British managers like Bruce and Allardyce getting ignored for the top jobs

Results aren't really indicative of the performances right now imo. We're playing better than the results would suggest but I absolutely accept that there is a large amount of frustration over dropping points. I'm sure Howe is just as pissed off but it's a fine line at the minute because of all of the draws. Absolutely not going to start papping my wackers at the draws and I'm sure that the winds will come once we have a few more bodies back. Still got complete faith in Howe to make it happen, now is not the time to start pointing fingers and booing and shit like that, it'll turn soon enough. We need every quality player in the squad on the pitch to play these games and we've barely had that all season. Keep the faith, it'll happen gentlemen

Isak fgs is boosted to 4/1 on PP

If we're not ending up 10+ points ahead of Villa and 15+ points ahead of Soton then we've done poorly. That game was rank and they both looked utter shite against each other, neither were playing a decent team and yet they both still stunk the place out

Why don't they press? Like, at all? Seem happy to let Soton have it in their own third. At home. Bit odd tbh

Haaland and KdB sot needed for the bewst this week. Can't say I blame them tbh, it's 2/1 though

Bit late to the party here but I'd be strongly advising against doing anything connected to the Queen. It's not our job or responsibility as fans to 'honour her' and should be left well alone. I'm sure the club will do the necessary things and we can just get on with supporting our football team. Sometimes doing nothing is the right call, this is one of these occasions imo.

Head's getting blurred imo

I've always had the impression that the squad at Chelsea is jam packed full of utter arseholes. Going all the way back to John Terry. Don't really think their mentality has changed that much (could well be wrong obviously) and they still, as a collective simply down tools for any manager who they've decided they don't fancy any longer. Last night they absolutely looked like they were playing to get him sacked asap. Firmly believe that squad will look down their nose if Potter goes there, doubt they'll have too much respect for him as he's got no playing credentials nor trophies to back him up and they'll stop playing for him after a few months. Fwiw I think he's great but going there is a massive risk. Poch is a much better fit for that club and squad imo.

Looks like the Chelsea players are actively trying to get TT sacked here

It's the Champo marra, the real man's League. The bar is so high you can't even see the fucker

Just the 9 yellows and 2 reds as a result

Their apology and acknowledgement that they fucked up means nothing, doesn't benefit us in any way. There will be no meaningful change to what's happening and we're just s likely to get shafted in the future, they're just trying miserably to deflect some of the tsunami of criticism that's headed their way. Like a smackhead promising they're going to go clean for the 20th time. Means fuck all.

Any protests at Old Trafford today?

Early days yet though, maybe you've just not needed it so far Fully aware this place has turned into paranoia central over the last fortnight btw, myself included 100%. Doesn't mean it's not happening though

Card prices for Valencia-Getafe tonight are ridiculous 16 players are 6/4 or shorter on PP Over 4.5 cards is 1/8

I think I just sort of lump all 6 clubs together as one entity when it comes to things like this. When the ESL contracts were signed and it was put into effect it kind of cemented the fact the little cabal at the top of the tree see themselves as a distinct group. Not even sure it's subconscious either, they acted as a greedy, selfish collective to further their own futures at the expense of the rest of domestic football, don't even think that's up for debate tbh Not having a pop at you personally obviously

It's Leicester's fault indirectly tbh. Them winning the League from nowhere put the shits up the ESL fuckers and there was nothing they could do, they bum-rushed the place and put loads of noses out of joint. Firmly believe that had VAR been in operation in that season then they would have been screwed out of it via key VAR decisions. Leicester gave them the shock of their lives and cemented the introduction of this safety net and no-one will convince me otherwise.

VAR is now simply an added safety net for the big 6 to maintain the hegemony. It's there to protect certain clubs from dropping points and being exposed to any challenge. If the ref on the day gives a dodgy decision against the big 6 then VAR is used to find something in order to correct it. If the opponents score or look like they are getting an advantage in the game then it's also there to find something to rule it out. The same bent cunts that have shown inherent bias towards them when they reffed games are now being used in the studio to demonstrate exactly the same bias from a studio hundreds of miles away. It still comes down to individuals interpreting videos and their own flawed, biased judgement in arriving at decisions - with no explanation, commentary or accountability. Rip the fucking thing apart and get the right decisions regardless of who benefits or loses. The whole thing fucking stinks, it's fucking lifting

City drew Liverpool drew Spurs won Chelsea won, none lost Job done, let's move on. VAR triumphs again, "getting the big calls for the right teams right"

He needs to start. 20 minute cameos here and there are all well and good but he needs to be starting as I refuse to believe he offers less than Willock and/or Almiron - different types of players obviously but he deserves a chance. He needs to be sat down and told that he's going to start the next 7or 8 games or whatever and stick to it. I can understand easing him in gradually up to a point but when the current starters are offering so little then it's time to give him a proper go

The Longstaff pull at Wolves for a pen

West Ham next week too. This means in our opening 7 games this season we'll have played the teams finishing 1st, 2nd, 7th, 9th, 10th and 12th + Forest. It's been a tough opening set of fixtures but we need to be more clinical when we get chances, we're nowhere near good enough to waste chance after chance in game like that today.

Absolutely It wouldn't have mattered quite so much had we taken some of the gilt edged chances we made today though tbh. The VAR decision is just the gratuitous smack in the knackers on another very frustrating day

Problem we have now is that if Howe comes out and has a pop then every official will be shit scared of being 'the one' who seems weak and gives us the decisions we deserve in their game. They'll absolutely double down and continue to give us fuck all because they won't want to the one who looks weak and easily manipulated by Howe's comments. And they'll get away with it too as there is zero accountability or scrutiny for these bent cunts
