Been coming tbf

Don't blame Barnes for shooting there but if he rolls it across Isak taps it in

This is fucking pigshit. Bournemouth are pressing well but we've simply not got the quality to break through. Just aimless punts down the middle or into Row G

Effort from Joelinton once he was robbed was abysmal. Lost it in a dangerous position and just jogged back despite them getting bodies in the box. By the time the ball ends up in the net he's STILL 6 yards outside of the box. At this level that's borderline disgraceful

Canny concerning that we're so far away from the levels required so early in the season. And I'm talking physically and technically here - we're miles away, slow and weak in possession, no zip to any of the players, no pressing as a unit, nothing. We look absolutely fucked. And that's before we even talk about how sloppy we look on the ball. some of the XI are just not good enough footballers, we all know who and there's no point in raking it up but they stand out like a sore thumb in games like this. Massively substandard starting XI today

Fuck off man. Soft as shit yet again

Fouls in the middle third of the pitch going completely unpunished. It's like some managers have found a glitch in refs where they know that they can destroy attack after attack after attack with a little niggly foul and get away with it until about the 80th minute. The 14th time it happens the card comes out but they've killed every attack until that point. It's genuinely frustrating as fuck and I'm fully aware we do it plenty too, it's a football thing

9 points out of 9 with all 3 wins coming with a clean sheet isn't to be sniffed at. Not sure they'll stay there but they've got a little platform, if they spend their Clarke money well they've got a chance, the standard of that league is shocking and any remotely decent squad can get themselves up

Don't think I've seen an offside like that before

To be fair they had a cracking team in the 1890s

Glad he clarified which one he was, I was struggling there for a bit. I'd go Demba Ba personally but Remy did rather well too

I think today's the day I've officially checked out of this one. I no longer give a fuck if he signs or he doesn't, it's dragged on for ages apparently over just a few million quid. Neither side seem to want to be the one who gives in and both seem prepared to take it to the wire. Fuck it, I'm cool with whatever happens with this one now

Fucking brilliant isn't it?

That's about what he's worth tbh. He looks a bit of a prospect but he's nearly 24 and has yet to kick a ball in the top flight despite spending the last 6 seasons in the English football pyramid. They're the first to bang on about 'he's worth as much as someone is willing to pay' and now he's gone for £15m+ - by definition that's how much he's worth. Their own valuations of £30m, £40m (even saw some daft cunt saying £60m - £80m) were always wildly, absurdly, ridiculously high. They've managed to convince themselves he's 3 times better than he actually is but that's them all over. The fewm will be off the scale and the subsequent meltdown will ruin their season, just watch. Burnley (H) at the weekend

Yeah. Like Hertz

The truth will come out eventually. In the mean time we'll just have to be satisfied with a series of unsubstantiated and scurrilous rumours about how much of a sordid little deviant he is/may be

I don't think Gallacher is that great tbh, he's a grafter and he'll fit in with Simeone's style but he's always looked pretty limited technically. However, I'm glad he's away from that shithole of a club and respect him for trying his luck in a different country/league/culture. It'll be a bit of a shock for him I'm sure but it might just be the making of him, he'll eventually come back a much more rounded player and it's an excellent move for his career, fair play to him

You needed to change it about 20 years ago mate

It's an excellent signing in all honesty

Loose zips, surely?

Fun fact - Kiribati lies in all 4 hemispheres (N, S, E & W) Christ we need a signing
