Just had a chance to watch that Dyer pod. I suppose 2 things strike me about Dyer; 1. He seems like a sound lad, open about his mistakes and problems and genuinely the sort of guy you could have a pint with. 2. He's doing his coaching badges and has aspirations for management but he seems to have the last personality you want as manager. He can't seem to control his language ( I know that's petty but compare that to the cool calmness of the best managers around in interviews), he also gives his opinion too much. Its fine when you are a pundit but if you are a manager, you can't be seen to have given your opinion on x, y and z. Eventually that comes back and bites you in the arse. I'd actually like to see him more as a pundit because I reckon he'd have the balls to question other pundits opinions.

You wot?

That's a quite ridiculous decision.

I wasn't going to give you the pleasure of any other response.

Greatest of all time.

Also, Messi will love having Alvarez to play with, a player of similar intelligence.

Messi is such a beautiful player. That's why he's the GOAT because while Ronaldo has also won loads of stuff and scored loads of goals, Messi has done it with beauty and grace.

I'd be foaming if I was Leicester. Then again, he's almost certainly already told them of his intentions and probably asked to leave in the summer.

In the summer I'd have had Pulisic but I feel we are past players like him now. Let's not take any risks on players who "might" work out, especially since our scouting has been first class. And on Kovacic, anyone who "wants out" of Chelsea, already has a nice big earner lined up, probably from someone like Barca.

Hate France. Mbappe is unreal though. So annoying.

Pope = Pickord Trippier = Trippier Stones = Schar Botman > Maguire Burn < Shaw Bruno > Rice Willock = Mount Joelinton < Bellingham Miggy < Saka Wilson < Kane Maxi > current Sterling That means Botman, Bruno and Maxi would currently improve England. Bellingham, Kane, Saka and Shaw would improve Newcastle. Most importantly Howe > Southgate

Bowyer was fine. Proper grafter but couldn't recapture his Leeds scoring. We got him for free too. Dyer was a gobby little twat but I've warmed to him now. Souness is a cunt. Shepherd was a cunt. Let's remember Shepherd went over his managers head after a Uefa Cup game to say he was going to sell Bowyer based on his performance. He was like a fucking shit dictator. Of course, the one that followed was even worse.

Australia are hopeless.

Annoyed when they don't pass to him. He's quick, just send him.

I can confirm he's fucking rapid.

Joke this. Didn't tune in to watch the French. Get the boy on.

Had a 1 in 2 record at Sunderland, over 200 appearances. 1 in 3 for Southampton which isn't terrible. He also had better than 1 in 2 for West Brom but I'm assuming that was championship.

Phillips was a good player. Had he played for someone better, he'd have had a better career. Without looking, didn't he end up at Southampton and they were shite too.

Commentators going on about Bale. It was a pen.

Was about to say, yous look very sloppy on the ball.

Saudi world cup coming soon.

Should be looking at Rafa from Benfica.

Would love to know how much we are getting. Bet its as much as you could possibly get from such a deal. Here comes the money...

It's great because I'm genuinely as excited to see him as I was when he signed.

Is it not because the release clause will be an upfront payment? Where as we would rather pay more and make it a structured deal based on various things. Our ability to spend money, seems entirely dependent on how we can spread payments out.
