You know how I knew it was a handball? Willian saying it hit his chest.

Palhinha will end up at Liverpool. Perfect for them. If they decide not to bother....

If we are playing European football, Zaha wouldn't be the worst free transfer. I know the Zaha debate has been done to death on here but I can't see many downsides to Zaha on a 2 year deal. Our forward line lacks massive depth and Zaha could play up front as a 3rd or 4th option, as well as out wide. I don't think it's a deal we would look at, due to age but...

I'd have Merino back in a heartbeat.

I think Eddie stuck with the same side perhaps 2 games too long. Somewhere around Leeds/Bournemouth games was the time to change but I can absolutely understand why he did. Still adore him. The way he pulls players from the brink like Murphy is astonishing.

3k people shouting hand ball is a sight to behold.

Thuram Maddison Tierney Or Diaby Neves Bakker Or Abraham Paulinha Guerrero Or Raphinha Kone Robinson Basically we are in a great spot, plenty of viable options, different profiles etc. Getting someone like Thuram on a free is a game changer financially too.

Was expecting a meltdown and people falling for the "injured" craic. He's been withdrawn so he can go to dubai with the lads, same as Schar. It's different with Botman/Isak, they are young and only starting their international career, neither Schar or Pope are first choice.

Get in.

Pulisic non goal was actually not even near the corner of the goal. Pickford just stood still. Gets away with murder.

Nice to see Brummie happy. Shame he supports Villa. Nice to see Gerrard looking like a chump, although you won't hear that from Sherwood and Co.

Pope Trippier Schar Botman Burn Bruno Longstaff Willock Murphy Joelinton Isak 3-0 Isak hatty.

Not scared of anyone, bring the fuckers on.

@Heronbound to be an Isak flag in the pipeline?

Yep ASM for Joelinton the only change. Hopefully Gordon back on the bench to give us some depth back.

Yeah just spotted him in the celebrations. Such things make me smile.

Break out the sick smelling fermented herring.

Put some respect on this lads name. Was absolutely class today IMO. I honestly don't know how Howe does it.

Isak is god

I presume we are talking about ASM? If so, he was our worst player by a country mile. He was awful until Howe changed it.

Only difference between this and us pumping sides earlier in the season is a tiny bit of luck and a tiny lack of composure in front of goal. Performances a virtually the same.

Seldom will you find someone outside hooters who isn't in good spirits.

Reet, wheres Ryan Fraser? Alls forgiven lad, get ya boots on.

We will spank them.
