Of course but THERE'S NO ONE ELSE available.

You think I see Murphy as an answer? Fact is Murphy and Wood were the only options from the bench and Fraser isn't really fit to play nowhere near 90 minutes.

And bring on who?

We have performed really well but we are lacking the quality to convert our possession to goals. Thinking last seasons form would carry to this season after we are still forced to start Fraser and Almiron while Murphy and Wood are the options off the bench is just simply unrealistic. Today was a worse performance than the Crystal Palace game but Bournemouth's bus was well organised and we still did enough to win that game on another day. No idea what Bruno has done wrong either and everyone should have known that Willock's purple patch under Bruce wasn't sustainable.

The booing after the final whistle is so embarrassing, so much for just wanting a team that tries for a large portion of our fans. Deluded Geordies not so deluded comment after all. Hope these few games are a reality check to the people that think we should be fighting for a top 6 spot this season. No, Almiron, Fraser and Murphy didn't suddenly turn to top 6 players overnight after all. That massive unsustainable run to end last season really raised the expectations too high, this squad can't be fixed in two transfer windows but we are making great progress.

Hot under the ass ffs. Stunned that I have to read shite like that here, fucking deluded is appropriate.

What's wrong with you people?

Ponsaelius already said everything but I just don’t see cricket as a global sport like football and basketball are.

Of course but your post read to me like basketball is only played in USA and few Eastern European countries. USA is always the favourite and could send 30 good teams but it's played everywhere and the best players in the world are not only Americans (Antetokounmpo, Jokic and Doncic right now probably in the top 5). There is a basketball WC and it's big in every other country even if USA don't always send the best team. Think you are disrespecting the European club teams a bit too, NBA teams have 52 wins and 13 losses against European teams in the past two decades but are only 16-9 in Europe even if they are glorified pre-season games. American football is it's own thing but I don't think you can compare basketball even to sports like rugby, cricket and baseball which are legit sports in only a handful countries.

It's big pretty much everywhere, only behind football iirc.

Had never heard of Marcus Edwards but he looked really good last week based on highlights.

West Ham played on Thursday and have been struggling, this would have been the perfect time to play them, with or without ASM and Bruno.

Mad that he's still only 31.

Obviously she was an important person but you mourned yesterday and have all day to mourn today. Next week is all about mourning too waiting for the funeral, does football really have to be called off? And absolutely no thought given to people and businesses who lose money due to this.

Absurd decision, 96-year old lady sleeps away naturally and this is the reaction?

Gomez thinks he’s way better than he really is, was similar against us but got away with it narrowly.

VvD gesturing that Osimhen dived when he stepped on his foot and clipped the same leg even with his other foot. Regressing badly and I like it a lot.

Apparently but was never even as realistic as Isak. Napoli paid ~70m for him.

Think Zidane is waiting for the France job.

PSG look scary.

That wasn't directed at you? The justification is that officiating had been terrible and something had to be done. I'm not even blaming linesmen, it's an impossible job for human eyes. Is the unfair advantage on any rule book? You are either onside or offside, I have no idea how anyone would know how to decide whether an attacker gets a fair or an unfair advantage.

This is exactly how it should be IMO, it would be a quicker process too.

The improvements on expected goals, shots, touches in opp box, passes into opp box and possession are staggering considering the injuries and the fact that we've already played against Man City and Liverpool. All those stats yet we are still looking rock solid defensively, Howe is doing an amazing job.

Personally I would draw the lines from the feet as I’m sceptical you can draw accurate and consistent lines from shoulders but it is what it is.

If an attacker gets 10cm leeway but is ahead by 11cm the crying would be just the same. You have to draw the line somewhere.
