To be honest, I think there is plenty of game time for both Barnes and Gordon at LW. It's just a shame we got both the two LWs in first and not one for either side. We must sign a RW this summer.... regardless of whether Gordon can play there.

What a fucking bloke man. All footballers should realise the powers they have. That kid has cancer and probably feels on cloud nine, and will do for a while because someone took some time out of their day. Gordon is an inspiration.

Aye he's been saying that for a little while now.

This club should always be in Europe, that's my expectation. Not so bothered about what flavour of Europe. 7th is a very creditable finish considering the shit we've had thrown our way. I'll be surprised if we don't do better next year. It's also great that we ended with a win, puts a spring in everyone's step for the summer. Now it's the transfer window silly season, let the fun commence...

This is an Eddie Howe side. I'd be shocked if we didn't score at least one more. We've also got good players on the bench.

I thought the goal looked like it was coming for 5 minutes. We've absolutely dominated them, like we haven't done in ages.

Joelinton back in the starting line up and we've dominated a half of football for the first time in 6 months.... and I'm not talking about scoring, I mean we've never looked threatened for 40 minutes.

Fair enough, I wouldn't part with him for less than 60. Perhaps noone would pay that but that's fine coz he's ours.

I actually think Joelinton adds a more solidified base, even on the left, if we are playing 2 up front. Keep a clean sheet, Isak and Wilson will 100% score.

6 goals in 16 games. Not to be sniffed at.

Any team rumours/leaks?

You reckon Joelinton is a 40m player?

Messenger getting fucked up.

Contributed loads to a side that finished 4th.

I mean.... what? Play different sides, play with different feet, play in entirely different styles, they are both black and play/played for Crystal Palace. Also, Zaha sucked because he joined David Moyes' Man Utd at a young age. He'd have done well at most other places and was largely regarded as a damn fine player.

And for balance: Bruno is possibly even more press resistant than Rodri. His ball retention is outstanding. He inspires those around him. His short range passing is impeccable. His long range passing is outrageous. His shooting... OK, got me there. Still chips in with goals though. When he has taken corners in the past they are no worse than Trippier. Bruno is the reason why football is the most popular sport on the planet. Individual brilliance, who's character seeps onto the football pitch with every touch. Is he as good as Rodri, probably not but Bruno isn't playing for Man City and who cares anyway, we love Bruno he's a beautiful, beautiful, Brazilian bastard.

Does he really? Obviously I know he loves it here and knocks about a bit but does he genuinely get in the boozers?

Nice work "Josh".

Aye. Let's hope they give him a win.

Also agree with this. It's why Ratface at Man Utd letting it be known that all their players are for sale is so bizarre. Its a quick way to demoralise your entire squad AND lose bargaining power. Howe will always say he wants to keep players, right up until the point we sell them.

Totally agree. Been banging this drum for a while. He does a really good job of suckering me back in when he's fit and starts scoring goals but the smart, sensible thing to do is cash in.... However, if we aren't getting decent money for him, there's no point selling.

Ramsdale cost Arsenal 24m and they can't ask for that back because he's not progressed there. I suspect they actually want rid because they don't want to end up paying the add ons for someone they don't see as first choice. If Raya gets injured and Ramsdale plays, they might have to pay up to another 7m. If they get an opportunity to cash in for anything north of 15m, I can understand them doing it.

Pope won't be going anywhere this season. Tosin, Ramsdale and Kelly potentially in for peanuts, wasn't this the squad depth improvements people people were asking for? Dummett = Tosin Targett = Kelly Dubravka = Ramsdale

Since you have a problem, could you throw a Newcastle badge on there and a Sela one.

Think that's a cuteism. His name is Lewis Miley, they just call him Lewie, probably started from calling him Lew.... But yes it is confusing when the names Louis and Louie exist.
