One of the most important people in the history of the club.

Howe brought him in though. Woods influence was noticeable as early as Leeds away.

The Anderson sale was a pretty obvious one to do I thought. Along with Longstaff, it’s been talked about for months.

£35m is insane if true. I like Anderson, probably more than most looking at opinions on here, but I’d have said £20m would be at the high ended, never mind this.

I’m resigned to losing big players eventually, even now, but you’re not getting maximum value in this desperate state.

Chris Wood was exactly what we needed at that time and did his job well imo. We got back most of what we paid for him too.

Man Utd fans defending Ten Hag is excellent for everyone else.

What difference does that make? Man Utd beat Millwall in a final and someone else fuckin Cardiff in the past 20 or so years. It’s completely irrelevant to my point, which was a small one anyway. Go get your knickers in a twist about something worth it.

They took it to extra time ffs. I’ve seen us in the three finals in my 40 years and we’ve been comfortably beaten in each. We haven’t come close. They may look a basket case, but I’d still put money on them winning another trophy before we win one. Think it’s you needing to give your head a wobble.

Extra time?

Basket case club who still came closer to winning something last season than we’ve managed in about 50 years.

They’ve just announced it this month.

Yeah it’s fair enough if he has recovered. Can’t say it improved performances much. Maybe a good preseason behind him will help.

Foot injury he’d been playing with that had affected his performances must have cleared up.

I see Villa just signed and Adidas deal for £17m a season. Sure ours is quite a bit more.

Each to their own. I can’t think of another way to describe it. We need a mentality shift imo.

Not sure what’s more annoying, the over reaction doom merchants, or the ‘whey, it’s been a smashing season anyway lads’ losers mentality. I actually think 7th is respectable overall given the circumstances, but there’s also no doubt we bottled it at the last with two tame performances despite having injured players back. Who would have known what could have been, however I would look at why Pope didn’t come in for at least Man Utd and how long it took for Hall to be introduced into the team. I suspect we’ll still do good business, though the DCL link concerns me. My main worry is that Bruno, Isak and Gordon are players who should be playing in Europe.

Blairite Corbynista Burnham will be on the case desperately trying to impress the masses in Manchester. I’m sure he’ll be outraged on both sides of the city divide.

You’ll not have time for many players then.

Dreadful tonight. Third goal was an easy save and an argument he should have had the second too. Ive no idea what some of the saves were about, pushing them back out into danger. He’s done.

‘the vast majority (almost half)’. Aye, ok.

The apprentice tattoo artists claim to fame.

Quite disappointed it’s not a new stadium, however hopefully it’s something innovative and not just a copy of the Leazes at the Gallowgate. Personally think the two bigger stands are terrible.

There’s a season ticket holder behind me who has spent most of the last two home games calling half the team shit, dog shit, Dubravka ‘bent’ and the people around him laugh every time he does it like little Richard Hammonds. There was a lass who had a go at him for picking on Murphy yesterday. Weirdly hadn’t noticed him before Spurs, but I probably will forever more now. Thankfully I’ll get the last 10 of the first half in peace as he’s in the 35min pint crew.

I want him to rot in his garden out of principle. And because of the arrogance of Radcliffe.
