The worst thing is that I don't even think he's 'out of form' or 'lacking a bit of confidence' right now I just think this is his normal level of performance. What he's been producing for the last 4 months is what Sean Longstaff is capable of producing - this is him, this is his level of ability. I get that people want to maybe find excuses and explain his horrific performances but this is his normal average level, it's got nothing to do with form or confidence he's just desperately poor in many many areas and it's been highlighted. He needs a move a much a wee need to move him on. Lovely lad, works hard, absolutely fucking shit

Home grown or not he needs to be moved on this summer. All he's done tonight is directly cost his team 2 points and proved to Howe (and any other PL manager watching) that he can't be trusted any longer and he's finished as a PL player. Expensive night for him and the club tonight

Special mention for Dan Burn tonight btw, I thought he was brilliant tonight. He was honking for a few months and got pelters for it at the time but I thought he was exceptional tonight, can't remember a single mistake and got us off the hook a few times too. He was superb and it's right he gets a bit of praise

Highly frustrating that tonight, no real complaints at the result either. Missed several chances to kill it off and one piece of utter dogshit defending has cost us all 3 points. It was a definite pen, ref was pretty good actually and we've been done by Dummett's panic, a 2-point mistake. But it should have only been a consolation for them rather than an equaliser. One of those nights unfortunately

Is it my eyes or is the ball rolling really slowly all over the park tonight? It's not zipping about like it normally does, I know we've had a bit of rain like

We said the end of March. We just didn't clarify which year

Won't need a bench tonight, couple of chairs should suffice

Finishing 7th, with all of the shit that's been going on for the last 6 months, would be pretty incredible tbh. At the start of the season it would have been about par but considering all of the injuries, insane cup draws and other random shit it's about a good as we could possibly have hoped for. It's been fucking relentless from September onwards

Are you familiar with the Nazi SS logo?

I'd love to hear Wincey and Gerard from Clarkson's farm have a bit crack on

Right, I'm unlocking this in a bit, can I urge everyone to be respectful and tolerant of each other please. By all means debate things as that's the whole point of the place but there's no need to get personal or make people feel shit, it's not on. There's always going to be differences of opinions but there's no need to be a twat because you disagree. Play the ball, not the man please gentlemen

FAWWER marra

Looking forward to reading about how fucking mint their fans are for showing up, booing the shit out of their team/manager and leaving ridiculously early. Yep, great support that, best in the land. They're toxic as fuck and a huge reason why they are where they are and they refuse to accept or see it

Tew dewyn marra

Locking this for a few hours. Suggest some people have a look back and chill out when it's open again. Jesus, lads

Another piece of shit injury news but it's become the norm this season. Feel sorry for the bloke as he's only got so many seasons left in him and to lose the chance to play for an extended time is obviously pretty brutal, hope he's on the mend soon and can pick things up when he's fit again. To put any blame on Howe for a perfectly fit player landing awkwardly and pulling a ligament is just ridiculous though. There are some perfectly valid questions and criticisms that could be levelled at Howe for this season but a CB doing his acl isn't one of them

Marseille - PSG just about to start. Hope it's got more of an edge to it that that fucking dross earlier on

Was going to say similar When there's no deterrent then they'll just keep on fouling and break the game up as much as possible. Destroy the flow of the game without any punishment. Ref has been one of the worst performers on the pitch so far imo

Talk about stalemate, jesus this is horrific. Can't believe I've spent 3p of electricity watching this drivel. I feel robbed

Hope so. It's a bit too parabolic that one

Would be ridiculously harsh to tag on another 6 months on to the end of his original ban. So it'll probably happen tbh

Cuz we're livin', livin' in a crazy maaaaze

Totally deserves the start but he'll be under pressure to perform even though it's only a friendly. Tonight is his big chance to book a seat for the Euros, serious competition to get into that squad

Can't forsee any issues whatsoever in completely changing systems with virtually no notice at all over the course of a summer. Sure they've got it all planned out and are definitely on the ball though, no need to worry, it'll be absolutely fine

The Germany (H) one is nice but only in long sleeves
