Thick as fuck from Doucoure but Kane's a right snidey cunt too, always has been

Got 0-1 (Kane) written all over it* * reverse jinx enabled

In by HT. Nice

Yep, needs must - Everton win please. Plus a 10 game ban for Kane hockling in Pickford's dial

Michael Keane 16/5 to commit 2 fouls tonight, up against England's golden boy. Seems large to me

They'll probably just hire all 4

We've been a complete push-over for the last few years. Content to hide behind the underdog status and just accept defeat to our 'more worthy opposition'. We knew our place and never even thought about rocking the apple-cart. We knew our place and acted accordingly under the likes of Bruce. No longer. We're fucking punching now and there's no soft underbelly. Only Barca have conceded fewer now I think, we're in the picture and we're going to stay there. Fronting up to ten Hag this afternoon was a pretty symbolic shift. Remember when Bruce was chuckling away with OGS a couple of years ago after they'd dicked us? Again. That was then, this is now.

Be awful if they kicked the utter fuck out of each other and the game ended 0-0 and 7 a side

These cunts have never been more irrelevant. They're no more than a smudge in the rear-view mirror

Selection of odds to finish top 4 from aaaaall the bookies

When your actions have zero consequences then shit like this is going to happen. Manager doesn't work out? Sign a cheque and get a new one. Players aren't performing? Sign 15 cheques and buy a new team. No limits, no worries, it's all cush

Delighted the narrative seems to have shifted on to "weren't Man U shite?" and not focus on what we've done. Won 3 in a row now, clean sheet, dominated them and moved back into 3rd, games in hand, great GD and Spurs & Brighton still to play at home. They can chat shit about Man U as much as they like, keep the spotlight away from us and we can try and get 5 or 6 points from the next 3 aways.

Brilliant performance from the lads today. Finishing is still questionable but every other single thing today was spot on, huge result for the club in the short and medium term. Getting 4th would be a game-changer and we're now in a great place thanks to that 3 points

Get directly. The fuck. In

I'm absolutely fucking sick of seeing Sean Longstaff waste chance after chance after chance. He's a grafter and always tries hard but his quality and technique is fucking gash

Dunno like, de Zerbi inherited a setup that was honed and proven and churning out top players and a solid footballing philosophy. Potter deserves credit for that, he squeezed the most he could out of it and left the club and squad in a very very good place. Some managers inherit basket-cases of clubs but de Zerbi inherited a dream case scenario. That's not to say he hasn't done well, he absolutely has and has tweaked a few things to keep it fresh but that club is a model of how to build from scratch.

Not sure who else was on it but Sky had KdB & Salah sot at 3/1 this afternoon. Ridiculously good odds

Come on City, do these fucks please

I'd be telling him exactly the same thing tbh. He'd suit claret and blue

Excellent news. It simultaneously allows standing a foothold in the stadium and allows the fans in that corner to stand 'legally' now rather than get into confrontations with stewards etc. Good stuff

Snap. Came in with 36 seconds to spare btw...

Just looks like a Newcastle shirt tbh

Obligatory mention of the (heartfelt) absence of the Cup Winners Cup these days

This persistent link to McTominay needs to fuck off. He'd be an awful signing for any amount of money and absolutely no-one will convince me otherwise. He looked a bit raw a few years ago and possibly had potential to develop a bit but he's looked worse and worse the more I've seen of him. They'd be unloading their shit on us and making a fortune in the process. It's one of the worst signings we could possibly make and there's no reason to do it. He's utter wank, someone needs to get a red biro and scribble his name off the list asap

Also the adrenaline boost that people get from the derby has very recently been replaced by the increased adrenaline rush that comes from playing Spurs, Man U and Liverpool now. We still have huge games that get the butterflies going days before kick off without having to soil our minds thinking about that lot. 18 months ago those games were dreaded by the fans, now they're the biggest games of the season as they actually mean something now. Fuck the derbies
