Players,like managers, either outgrow the team or the team outgrows them. During my working days I attended an an employee's 25 years service presentation. I was stood with our new MD and I said how nice it was to see such service. He said that he didn't want anyone working for him for long periods of time. He said that you get get the best out of people in their first three years then they should move on

I can't believe that people are saying that Trippier was the worst player on the pitch last night. I saw at least 5 of them worse than him

Bruno will bring home his World Cup winners medal

So glad we won. It would have been horrible if we had ended this part of the season with a loss

Can see Frank the Tory and Miserable Moyes being out of work soon

The press and the pundits hate the fact that we are doing so well and are trying to unsettle things. Bruno to Real, Miggy to Man U, Howe for the England job and so it goes on. All of the rumours totally unsubstantiated of course. Why would any of them want to leave the biggest and best club in the world

Sorry about that , my head is in the clouds

We'll be giving our top players a rest but CP won't and I think we might lose on penalties. I hope I'm wrong though. Sitting 4th in in the league it must be difficult for Eddie to prioritize league or cup

Don't know if I'm allowed to ask this on here but does Cricfree still work. I've used it for years but couldn't get a link our last 2 games

Emery decided not to come here because he couldn't have handled relegation and at that time there was a good chance of it happening. Everything happens for a reason and the reward was that we got Eddie Howe. Like many others I wasn't excited at the time by Howes appointment but he has proved to be the perfect fit for our club. Just as Rafa was in the days before Bruce

Is Cricfree not working

Football has changed massively since the days of SBR and Keegan and Howe has continued to learn and improve himself, his coaches and of course the players

My stream is down

Why would he want to leave to go to a smaller club like Liverpool, Chelsea or Real Madrid

You can hit long balls when you've got the likes of Trippier, Botman and Schar all capable of pinging 50/60 yard passed to people's feet.

Took his goal really well and made it look easy. It was never a foul because Lloris committed himself outside the box and they collided. Callum was the quickest to react

Long staff is the weakest link

Keeping up to date on here, I can't watch it anymore

Had to switch off, it's just too stressful

My first was born at 8.00am on the Saturday morning and I was at the cup final against Liverpool in the afternoon. At half time I wished I'd stayed with the bairn

I don't know why they don't bring Steve Bruce back. He knows the club, knows the area and all the kebab shops plus he's had over 1000 games experience. It would also keep us amused for the rest of the season

Managing Rangers or Celtic is light years away from managing in the EPL

We've been doing so well I dread losing

I disliked a lot of them, Dagleish, Big Sam etc of the more modern era. I won't go back as far as my 78 years permits. Pardew I just found to be a tosser, McLaren just not up to the job but I believe he brought in Shelvey so a plus there. Bruce I totally detest and do really hate and the strange thing is I always have done. I remember when it was rumoured that he might take over from SBR and just the thought of it destroyed me. I can not ever see why owners of football clubs would want to employ him. Apart from a half reasonable spell at Hull every club he's managed has gone backwards and good players ruined. So yes I hate Steve Bruce

Has he got another job yet?
