No signings then calling out the previous strategy, with leaks stating Guehi was for Howe, an all or nothing signing. It affects the games as we don't have the signings we need. He's called out players who signed in that window, and key players who were expecting a big window for us, and probably why they stayed, are pissed off this is what they hung around for. All speculation of course.

The last 10 months have been more like this season, than the 4th season. Those 10 months were the transition to this. Injuries were easy to hide behind, but you could see the signs things weren't working as well as they were, and I've seen very little to suggest its going to get back to the good days. Lack of signings are this year's injuries. Yes they both play their parts, but it's not why we're here. It's only recently this place is is actually calling what they see, rather than looking for the excuse. Eventually that kicks in at home games and soon we're looking for a new manager. My worry is whether it's all pre-planned, with Mitchell wanting his own guy in, one without the 'attitude' (or as we see it, a proper FT manager rather than head coach) and one happy with the players coming in without much resistance. I don't trust him, and had been on board with Eales, but feel I don't trust them. Whether that's justified or not, we will soon find out. I do think Howe is done here though, it's a feeling (not a desire) I've had for a while, with the Guehi saga suggesting games have been played, at his detriment.

He's been here 3 months. We've been under delivering for at least 10. Any issues we're seeing on field are not of his making. He will address them though. With new personnel.

Our unbeaten underappreciated hero.

We'll probably win.

3?

We've been shit for 10 months. Not sure why people are surprised about today or any of the performances this season so far. Feel like we're limping on with no urgency to address any of the issues. Maybe a loss might wake these fuckers up, or take hold of their season otherwise there is only one person who will take the fall here.

Goldeneye has just started on itv is anyone is interested.

Tonali time.

What's this? A bench? Think we'll need it to win the game.

Boro are going nowhere under Carrick.

Should be down to 10 men, usual thuggary from the home team but cracking finish from the young mag.

Hull pass it really well. Playing out from the back with confidence. Could be a dark horse for promotion.

1-3 Boooooooo's from the Sterk.

Sorry it's Belloumi. Actually think he's got the tools to be a good prem player in a few years. Could be a Howe type player. Left footed (I think) RW as well.

gerrin. Goal for the whole of playing football.

Hull have been abused all game. Deserved something out the game, shame Balloumi their RW isn't more mature as they'd be winning.

Juan Juan (if anyone cares)

Ref has been donkey shit in the Stoke V Hull game. Finally giving Hull something.

Sean's been offered a 2 year ext.

New 5 year deal incoming. Puts to bed any unhappiness rumours. Isak next and our 4 best players are signed up for the next phase. Hopefully see botman back and penning a new one next summer.

Everton lost twice tonight. So very everton.

Fuck Wolves. That is all.

'Needless booking for Murphy' published at 18:26 British Summer Time 18:26 BST Wolves 1-2 Newcastle Clinton Morrison Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live That is a needless booking for Jacob Murphy. There was a replacement ball, he didn't need to chase it. He knew what he was doing. He literally went through the turnstiles, bought a ticket and came back in.

He's a great player, early season form doesn't change that, but I have to agree with those saying Palace have overplayed their hand, they'll not get a fee like we were offering. It's going to interesting to see whether he pulls himself back round, or, the pressure is now on for him to perform and he can't cope.
