I assume this was a typo, but I love it all the same

Fucking insulted you thought it was the pound shop TBGs that hacked me.

Is there a link to his full comments? Saw a brief clip on here earlier but it didn't seem like much of anything, and I don't remember anything significant from when I saw it live. Obviously, he's wanting to get his career back on track because it's been badly derailed, and I think there's a good chance he does leave his summer partly for contractual reasons, but he didn't seem arsey or anything.

Personally, I'm just gutted Amanda put us in the shit with PSR when we signed this guy. I'm troubled that our scouting methodology even put him on the table as an option to buy.

Yep. Classic game. No real problem with anything they did, only with the referee for abdicating responsibility. Feel like there would have been yellows and reds everywhere if we'd returned the favours - they might have been a bit less brave if they knew retaliation was coming.

Pretty much a no brainer.

Subject to fitness, agreed.

Thought he was great. Deserved more protection from the referee. All things considered I thought he handled himself well under fire. Such a shame Murphy didn't put him in for the fourth!

It's a good question. That's why I'm not quite at the point of saying "he should start the next game". But IF he is in that kind of form, it's the kind of thing that makes you wonder if adjustments should be made to accommodate him.

Think it shows how much it means to him, duty to the club, your rank in the squad etc. Wanted to show respect.

Pre match thread makes for a bit of a laugh after the lineups were released. Eddie Howe must haunt the dreams of Arteta. Was like watching a snake slowly squeeze the life out of them.

Agree specifically on the armband. Feels like things are right in the world again when they're semi sharing duties.

It might do us some good to have to play without him, to be honest.

Never thought I might be on the Dubravka bandwagon.

So good to see him like that again. Delighted for him.

I'm happy with it overall. Don't understand the reaction.

Undercurrents of anti-Semitism.

Greedy cunt too. Says bad things that he'd leave his mother club to join us.

Feels like he's been carrying injuries for 18+ months now.

Wow. Such an unfamiliar feeling

I think it's worth quite a lot. I would hope Willock knows he's not being stabbed in the back by people who should think of him as one of their own. I think feeling you can't trust the people around you would be way more distressing than it being some dickhead half a world away. Definitely would like to see more support for him shown at the next opportunity.

It's not exactly right, but think of PSR as a 12 month long game. And the idea is you have to balance the books by the end of that 12 months to win the game. The Bruno/Gordon/Minteh stuff was all part of the previous game, which finished on June 30th last year. Then a new game started fresh in July in which we wanted to buy Guehi right at the beginning, giving us nearly 12 months to balance the books again before the game finished. That's basically the idea of why we tried to spend £60m in the summer but not now. Spend it today and realistically we've got a month in June to sell sell sell and avoid losing the game, which is tight. Not that I completely believe this explanation myself, mind. I think other ideas remain possible, too. None of them seriously involve us spending £60m this month though.

I'm gutted about us today but we'd be silly to give up on our chance at this stage. No point focusing on our own failings while neglecting those of our competitors.

Head's gone. Been hoping the fact Howe has persevered with him as the primary sub is a sign of hope for his future, but it might just say more about Longstaff...

I believe they do. Plus, as we're regularly told, clubs aren't inclined to do us a favour. There's also the fact Eddie has said repeatedly he doesn't really like having loans where there's no real expectation the player still stay permanently. The loan would probably finish before the player was integrated into our first team...
