Surely Liverpool should be docked 30 points for this and we get the three points from yesterday

I am starting a thread on this because he is the only likely move. U21 West Ham right back. £2m fee

Gillespie, Dummett and Longstaff will be here for quite a few years yet until we have a new youth intake as these will be mandatory European squad places.

This window, we have: Permanently filled the left back hole we had with a player we all trust Signed one of the league’s best goalkeepers Signed a young centre half that Maldini really wanted - huge scope for improvement Signed the best young striker outside of the Champions League This is in addition to two elite players signed in January. without really understanding the budgets I would never call not signing one more ‘a mistake’

was going to say similar, so it’s not like Eddie Howe is Jack Bauer and has just 13 hours left to track down the mole in CTU

Noon is probably the deadline for any overseas players, if we haven’t heard anything no deal. 5pm for domestic.

Watch him break his leg now

Didn’t the semi ITK who confirmed Bruno was absent say that it was a training injury? still injuries where meant to be one of the few downsides of Howe at Bournemouth

I think Brighton and Wolves are the two hardest places to play outside of the top 6. plus we’ve played Man City at home. to go 4 games unbeaten with 6 points is actually pretty incredible when we were given one of the most difficult starts to the season in my view.

Anyways, I recall a time when Bruno couldn’t get in the team cos we were winning games and playing well. We don’t need to be too deflated if he is out for a little while.

It is pretty obvious when you look at his social media history

Don’t feel too bothered if Darlow is number 2. id expect Pope to stay fit and play all league games and any major cup games if he doesn’t, the team have improved enough to mitigate Darlow. 2nd choice keeper then becomes next year’s problem

Magnificent. was like when we used to play Juventus, Inter and Barcelona in the Champions League

Caught him doing pass practice with a 10 year old during the warm up while the rest of the team stayed well away from him. worrying.

De Bolle hasn’t been selected for the U21s today which unless he is injured himself might point towards a midfield injury

Also, what do you mean Beardsley never got a chance?

Jon Dahl Tomasson, Giuseppe Rossi

Craig Bellamy

Surely if you commit a crime inside a football stadium then the FA need to ban you for a bit.

Team 2 but I’d play Longstaff instead of ASM and ask Almiron to work both channels instead of having two wingers ASM gave the ball away too much at Brighton, but crucially in parts of the pitch where Man City would really punish us.

ASM was a 1/10 performance, Mitoma was so much better when he came on

When I saw the fixture list, thought Brighton away in August would be the 4th trickiest if our away fixtures so it is a good result.

Nick Pope

the team are well drilled and motivated enough that we could bring Botman, Willock, ASM, Joelinton, and Almiron on at half time although this would mean starting Ritchie or Murphy
