Bruno HOOOF.... fucking read the room. Keep the ball.

Not even contesting balls man.

Someone tell Schar not to fucking hoof it. Silly cunt. KEEP THE FUCKING BALL. It's basic.

Worst performance of the season. Shocking everywhere. No accountability whatsoever.

Longstaff and Miley missing, Bruno just looks off the pace.

Who the fuck stickied the match thread?

Always worries me when our better players give the ball away. Trippier and Bruno already done that. Just lost all confidence on the ball.

Ah thought it was Rosenior. Not a bad guess.

Eddie Howe with Dupers Delight. If you don't know what that is, google it.

Rosenior?

Eluko and him who's dad was a manager who I can't remember.

Murphy is a real boost. I think him and Isak will work well.

Lascelles is probably injured, I'd bet my arse Miggy isn't. It will be a club decision to protect him from injury, just in case a sale falls through. The club has decided to sell Miggy to fund other deals IMO and a few plates are spinning.

The "FA cup 4th round" thing is nonsense though. People pay for the teams they are watching. There's nothing to say if Fulham were playing Maidstone that prices wouldn't have been cheaper. Ultimately, I don't want an arguement because you are coming from a good place. Personally I'd make PL clubs reduces their prices as a proportion of their TV income. Gate receipts aren't a huge factor of revenue anyway.

Working class people? When was the last time you went to a PL footy match? I love your sentiment, it's about 20 years too late though. From a money/morals point of view, football is dead.

40 quid? It wasn't a scandalous price in 2005 man

I won't let any contract dispute cloud me. I fucking love Joelinton, he's class and I don't want to lose him. Sign a new deal ya big cunt, so we can relax again. Mind, if he goes, we will go wild on a replacement.

Bruno is on 120kish, same as Trippier. Joelinton should get around 110k IMO and if he signs a long contract, I'd have no issue with 60m release clause. That sort of money would give us huge wriggle room financially to replace him. Leaving on a free at the end of a contract is seen as a slap in the face in the footballing world these days, even though a players is entitled to do just that. Also worth baring in mind that Eddie Howe resurrected his career and made him the player he is. He'd have been playing in Turkey or somewhere without him. Would be annoyed with any player who doesn't at least leave gracefully.

Totally disagree, loads of big clubs have public back and forths over contracts, Salah comes to mind. Besides, there's no rules to what is and isn't "small time". Eddie can do what he wishes.

He made it clear that running into the last 12 months wasn't an option. Makes perfect sense when at a minimum we are looking at 40m worth of player.

Entirely different players. If Joe does have to be sold.... we can either fleece enormous money from a PL club or sell him abroad.

Think Howe was putting a bit of pressure on Joelinton there and so he should. Whatever wage Bruno is on, Joe should earn slightly less and that would be about fair. If he's asking for more, then he's gone.

Hojbjerg is a steady eddy DM. I could see why he'd be considered as a plan c loan if we can't shuffle our cards around to create finance. Let's remember, it could come down to whether we have to change formation if we lose any more midfielders to injuries. A loan deal for a bonefide PL midfielder might not be that shocking. Hardly ideal.

I was part of an incredibly successful billion pound team, you don't see me crowing about it. Just worked in Tesco like but every little helps.

Aye its shocking that we've spent so much money on players that we can longer spend on players. Honestly man.
