You'll grow into it man

The cogs are already there, we just need to make sure they turn, Wilson is here to do just that Ross 'the Grease' Wilson

Still feels like the rules are applied backwards. There's always been a subconscious bias for certain clubs for decades, some teams have just seemed to have the run of the green every single time, normally the biggest and richest funnily enough. It now seems to be the case that if a goal needs to be given or ruled out then that same subconscious bias is still in play and they'll find reasons to allow or disallow them according to the interpretation of the pictures. The bias is still there, the same teams still seem to get the run of the green and each bullshit decision/justification is just put down to interpretation of rules that are seldom used in normal play. In other words they always seem to find a way to give the decision they want to give. It's absolutely not a level playing field at all, not that it ever was and that's the whole issue. The technology is brilliant but it still falls to people to interpret it and that's where the bias always comes into play

I'm definitely not chill at all and seem to get stuck behind the shittest, thickest people on the planet on a daily basis - it's definitely disproportionate, it's just happening way too often Also when did taxi drivers go from being the wildest fuckers on the road to the shittest and slowest? It's 100% happened within the last 10 years or so

I reckon I use it on 95% of car journeys alone, the sheer rage I get from shit/incompetent/ignorant/selfish road users isn't normal - quite happy to admit it. 'Nonce' is up there in Tier 1. 'Die in a fire you ugly thick cunt' is also there too in all honesty

Guehi will sign for those cunts for about 11m in January. Parish will dutifully bend the knee and follow his orders like the subservient, spineless little cunt he is

Would be a nice gesture if he did decide to opt out of the AFCON and put club before country but I've got no idea how likely that actually is in this case

Another shrinking violet? When will they ever learn...

Another shocking display from this little twat, it's not a sore loser thing either, this fucker is disgraceful with most of what he does. He finds it impossible to consistent with his decisions even for more than 10 mins, sometimes he blows for a contact=collapse and the next he lets it go, if he's booked someone he'll let them get away with murder (Williams should have had 3 yellows - one for the foul and 2 deliberate handballs, and Joelinton at least 1 too tbh). The fucker should have just used the coin he had in his pocket and just flipped it before any decision to help him make his mind up When the ref is so shit it sends a ridiculous message to the players who have no idea where they stand going into every tackle, it breeds resentment and they know he's making it up so they take more liberties knowing he's spineless and they'll probably get away with it as they can sense he's petrified to give big decisions - their shirt pulling and ruling out our first for the Bruno contact to MGWs face. Awful, awful, dreadful, spineless and inconsistent display - he's absolutely fucking toilet every week

That team plus that bench plus Hall, Tino, Wissa and Ramsey all to return from injuries shows how the window has transformed us. When they're all fit that's now a hell of a squad

Surprised it took so long to get shot of the gormless sack of shit. Just needs to stop infecting random, gullible teams with his poison and stay away from the sport full stop. Just emigrate to the middle of fucking nowhere and be miserable until the consequences of your own poor habits finally take you out, you horrible, nasty, ignorant cunt

Last minute winner You live by the sword then you fucking die by it too. Fucking cunts

He didn't even know Gakpo was there. He'll click eventually but he's looked absolutely fucking shit most of the time so far this season

I can think of 19 million reasons why he's ended up there tbh

Quite

That Keithy-George? The painters and dockers?

Remains a piece of shit and will always do so. Not once did he question anything he was doing and shifted the blame on to other things and people One of the biggest cunts in the whole sport, even looking at him or hearing his voice puts me in a bad mood, he's a loathsome sack of pigshit

Looked sharp as a dart tonight, was bright and involved constantly, worked hard, took his pens well and brought others into play constantly, drifted into central areas more and that helped us to improvise a bit and play a bit off the cuff more than we're used to. His best performance for ages tbh

Now officially the main man at the club. Just runs the show from whistle to whistle, always shows for it, rarely loses it, works hard, reads the game and knows exactly what to do with it once he gets it - he's the gaffer on the pitch. Everything he does is top quality, brilliant player and we're lucky to have him tbh, he'd slip into any club side in the world imo, he's that good

Couldn't have scripted a better game - goals, chances created and converted, systems working, players linking and learning, no injuries (I think), players rested, clean sheet, confidence building and pressure released after the disappointment of Arsenal. No-one played poorly, Woltemade, Thiaw, Gordon and Botman all looked very good tonight and I couldn't give a fuck how poor USG were, you've still got to punish them and the result was never in doubt from about the 7th minute onwards. Brilliant night for the fans tonight too, it's what being in Europe is all about. Lush, lush night for all concerned

They're hunting in packs and really getting around us but we're largely getting out of the situations. Need to move out quicker on the edge of the box though. Also, can someone stick someone in our D when we're defending corners - they're almost letting us clear it poorly and waiting for it to drop to them on the edge of the box to get a shot in

With the way it's going it's looking like more and more teams are going long and hitting the target man #9, either with long throws or high balls centrally, that's certainly how it feels when I watch games these days. Nothing wrong with that either, it's an alternative to the ultra slow and precise possession game that's bored half of the public to death for the last 8 years or so. Just wondering if we're going to see teams revert back to the old 4-4-2 or certainly slight variants of it over the next 18 months. Formations and tactics seem to fade out of fashion only to come back again when everyone has forgotten how to defend it. Think we're ripe for a 4-4-2 or maybe a 4-4-1-1 with Wolt and Wissa centrally up top, Gordon/Barnes/Willock left, Elanga/Murphy right and any 2 of Tonali/Bruno/Joelinton/Miley/Ramsey in there. There's lots of flexibility for players to switch in game too. I'd certainly like to see it at some point - never know, it might just click. Just like last December when Howe moved Tonali to the base of the CM and we won about 9 in a row

Mentioned it yesterday but it's been a really unusual season so far for us for loads of reasons and they're all loosely connected to ensure we've had so much frustration for months now. It also shouldn't be ignored that we've probably already played our 3 most difficult home games of the season and it's not even October yet. You're always going to rely on your home form for your bread and butter points but we've had the Cunts, Barca and Arsenal all at home - that's bound to skew things. We should have taken more points from them but at least they're out of the way, just get USG and Forest out of the way, hopefully 2 wins, get Ramsey and Wissa back, fingers crossed for Tino and the season feels like it's starting for the third and final time after the Internationals

Early days but he looks very very good. Reads the game well, comfortable on the ball, brave, heads it way, doesn't take risks, stays in his formation and communicates well. Ticks all the boxes so far
