I suspect most fans and clubs couldn't care less about the human rights abuses in Saudi. They just don't want us building a club that will compete with them for their trophies. The lesser clubs don't want another big club to play twice a season.

Do the rest of the 'other 14' clubs not see how these rules could also restrict them, and further cement the top 6 clubs hoovering up all the success in England? This is dressed up as putting a stop to Newcastle, but it's actually putting a stop to anyone closing the gap to the top. If someone with extreme wealth bought Luton tomorrow how long would it take for the owners to grow their commercial revenue and financial fair play limits organically? Far too long for them to even bother trying. There shouldn't be anything wrong with an owner putting their own company on the front of a shirt or sponsoring whatever else they want as long as its not something ludicrous like £100m a season for naming rights of Kenilworth Road. We're closing the barn door after the top 6 horses have bolted. They've abused the rules for years to put themselves lightyears ahead of the rest of the country and now 13 clubs are going to help them stay there.

The rest of the Premier League clubs really don't like us do they? They were content enough for Chelsea and City to take the absolute piss for about 20 years now, but are desperate to stop us at every turn whether its advertising or bringing in players. Honestly the whole lot of them can fuck right off.

Didn’t we get like £15m for Wood by the way? There is no scenario on earth where that wasn’t the right decision to sell. I’d play Dummett at striker if I had to, as long as im getting that 15m for Wood.

We did, but he’s out on loan.

It was so obvious that Wilson would get injured while Isak was out.

A win here and we're set up lovely for the break. Some decent fixtures coming up after it too.

Seems daft as fuck to have a player in clear need of a rest going away to play for England, who are already qualified for Germany next summer like. We've Chelsea, PSG and Man Utd in the space of a week when he comes back.

Imagine Brighton over two legs in the EL semis, then Liverpool in the final in Dublin. Scenes.

Can he just pretend to be injured after Bournemouth so he can take a fucking rest for two weeks?

We'll have a lot of our injured players back and maybe a signing or two in January. We have to get at least the EL, a run in that would be tremendous for the club and fanbase. It is also a route into the CL next season too of course.

This lad is pure quality like. Can't believe he's only getting a run in the team now.

We need Dortmund to lose both games and we have to get something away to PSG. Very difficult. Hoping Milan lose a game and us beating them at SJP for the EL is probably more realistic. Never say never though.

Yeah, 3rd into the Europa League.

We need Milan to lose to PSG tonight anyway to at least take the Europa League spot to SJP against them next month. And this notion about it being better to go out altogether, fuck that man, Europa League is not the Champions League, we'll do a lot better there and can go on a run. I'd much rather be in that than nothing like.

No one is going to convince me that Dortmund haven't benefitted from a huge amount of luck tonight. Every fucking loose ball from our tackles has fallen right back to them.

Longstaff has been sloppy as fuck with his passing tonight like.

We've been giving these far too much respect so far tonight, they can be beaten if we're willing to attack them properly like we know we can do. No choice now but to go for it.

Could they not have got a high-resolution version of our crest for the graphics during this? I've seen less pixelated versions in the football in paint thread.

Dunno like, we had Arsenal where we wanted them away last season, should have beaten Liverpool and could have easily walked away with something at City this season although that one was a poor game.

The home game against Dortmund and so far tonight are weird performances. Dortmund aren't better than Arsenal, Liverpool, City, teams we go toe to toe with when we need to, but yet they look a complete class above us. Is it nerves or what? I feel like we could do a lot better.

Villa have some hard games coming up so we've a chance to get ahead of them by a few points. Think they're our main competition for top 5. I think Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal and City will do it and one of us or Villa.

I hate Liverpool but its hard not to be happy for Diaz there.

Just seen last years quarter final was during the week after the FA Cup 3rd round. Might be able to rest players in that and go stronger for the QF game if its the same this year. Edit. Forgot about the fucking World Cup.

The draw is 22:45. Give us Liverpool at home. Fuck it. Fuck going to Wembley against one of these cunts again.
