Wullie

I really hate the assumption that everything has to be digital and that digital is inherently better.

Does he? I thought he just knew the area because he was at uni up here or something along those lines.

"Warned" "Make sure you've got some smelling salts in lads"

I engaged with someone on here recently who took the time to make the most remarkably narcissistic highfalutin post that went something along the lines of "I'm just such a bloody Good Person! I always call out homophobia, racism and sexism because that's just the kind of Amazing Person I am! And if you get sacked because you're a Bad Person, that's just toooooooo baaaaaad! That's not cancelling, it's just consequences!" The post was much liked by all the other Good and Amazing People on here. As a Sad Bastard, I've got a good memory for these things from the days when we used to be able to have civil conversations on this forum about all sorts of things without accusations of hatred, and the same Amazing Person once posted that calling Shola Ameobi a 'black cunt' was fair game because the 'black' bit was just a descriptor like saying someone had a big nose. Maybe I should have reported him to his employer, or the police, or Newcastle United. Or maybe I wouldn't do that because I'm not a fucking sociopath.

Hall is over 2 years younger than Palmer like.

£15m doesn't even buy you a reserve full back now man.

I'd made what I thought was a clever plan to lose Haaland for a few weeks for their tricky fixtures and bump up elsewhere with the money, going to have to abandon it now. He's just too highly owned and he's started turning it on in the big fixtures again.

We're without our best defender, best midfielder and best striker(s). Man City were without Rodri for 3 games and lost all 3 of them. It's fucking annoying like. Mo Salah dislocated his shoulder about 4 years ago, I swear he hasn't missed a game since.

I think Isak's just been unlucky, he's not had many problems before joining as far as I know. Fair on Wilson, he's a problem for sure with this many fixtures, his body just can't take it.

How many teams who play 1 up front have 3 in the squad that are Premier League capable?

There's only so much you can address when your £60m signing in his position gets a year ban. Of course you need a deep squad but you can't sign 3 top class players for every position which is what we would need at the minute to cover this many absences.

The feeling of entitlement to berate this group of players in this situation absolutely boggles my mind. Have a hard time believing that's somebody who has seen a lot of away games. I've been to a few dozen and I honestly think I can count the wins on one hand.

I'm pretty certain that privately there was a feeling of "FFS" when we won those two League Cup ties.

He's a really frustrating player. Great at running with the ball but I never feel like he's going to create or get many chances at all from wide.

That is never a red card for Celtic. Ridiculous decision.

Don't know how anyone can't think this is ruining the game as a spectacle. Spend so much time watching and talking about these fucking reviews.

He's like a parody of himself, just a stream of consciousness.

This is absolute chaos

Apologies as I can't remember who it was that pointed it out first on Saturday but the fact that Gabriel was immediately protesting to the ref about the ball being out of play rather than the "push" just shows that claim up as total bollocks.

No Odegaard

Never ceases to amaze me how many huge forums ruin themselves with ads, such an awful experience. I guess you might not see them if you're a member, no idea?

Just when you think this group of players might be heading into a bit of a mini slump, they always always manage to surprise you. Emil Krafth and Dummett easing to a clean sheet at Old Trafford without breaking a sweat. Hat tip to the pre-match threaders who were adamant these exact changes would be chucking the game in.

Neither of them are on? How odd. I just assumed Boro would be on.

Binning Darwin for Watkins was a cracking decision.

Best we could have hoped for I think.
