Bruce's luck in playing teams at the right time is ending. 2-0 half time to Everton, 3-1 full time. I'll pop in a penalty or own goal for the second. AC will get ours

Happy Christmas MA, I hope your mam forgot to put the pigs in blankets on your plate

When was the last time we did the double of Man U? Its very unlikely that we'll get anything on thursday with our lack of goals, but you wouldn't put much money on man u scoring either with our defence

That celebration and that kids reaction is why I can never totally switch off, he's going to be buzzing from being part of that and won't get a better feeling until he has his first shag. We're shit, we're very lucky atm but we can still provide a moment like that. So fuck you ashley you can't take that away

Surely it won’t be close if we’re anywhere near 46 points!? Margin of error, all it takes is for us not to turn up against Norwich Watford and Southampton and we are in trouble We've overachieved against the 2 Manchester Clubs and Spurs 1st half of the season and there is only Norwich Villa and Sheff Utd of the games we've played away where I'm confident of getting 3 points from

Just took a look at our results and reasonably what you would expect from the reverse fixtures and I see us getting another 24 points. It's going to be close

Best Ando has ever sounded

Interesting The ball is just going to be sat in the centre circle with neither team knowing what to do

He went off on a stretcher in that game didn't he?

This is going to be embarrassing live on TV isn't it.

. That is a pretty random one to throw in

Feels a bit unfair having Alnwick there, I guess he is the worst keeper we've had play for us in the last 10 years but he was a kid thrown in when he was nowhere near ready. Blob gets my vote shiteness longevity.

That's another stupid decision. Sports Direct is associated with cheap sports clothing and oversized mugs, Fraser's (or House of Fraser's) is high end high street fashion and home ware. Its a branding mismatch nightmare

We want 5. Neither free kick happens under Rafa imo, he'd have been coaching the shit out of Yedlin on Grealish all half. Not arsed about the fouls, by the time it gets there they have no choice, it's allowing the play to get to the foul that is preventable

But it's a continuation of Rafa's progress. Rafa basically started fresh each year, Rafa plus Rondon plus Perez, on I'd quite like ASM added in, and we'd be sitting 5th on Monday night, if not there already with a game in hand

Is this the Clark or the Bruce derby? Fancy Almiron to get one, but it will be Wesley vs Joelinton that the analysis will fall on

Another one from 96, shed seven going for gold.

If you're playing Enrique (and why not, he's the best left back we've had in the Premier League era) then you play Colo, they had a great understanding together. I like the Schar-Lejeune-Colo suggestion but it would be fun to see 2 mad Argentinian CBs together as well. One thing in the comparison is that Colo was playing alongside Taylor or Big Mike, any of our current CBs would look worse in that situation. Another hypothetical - would Rafa have been able to get rid of Bramble's 5 minutes of madness every game?

MA to buy Mothercare next? Plenty of rattles and prams for him

Don't believe that. We could be 3 up inside 10 minutes and Ando would still think we're poor and dour

More threat from the back 3 than the front 3 today

Can't wait for Liverpool to bottle this one

So they are going to try and put in a better performance? What is there to try about, just bloody do it

Bruce to go with a midfield of Ki, Shelvey, Longstaff? I'd stick Carroll up front from the start with the aim of getting 45 out of him and bombarding them from the off. We can't afford to start slow Dubs Yedlin Schar Lascelles Ferandez Willems Ki Longstaff Almiron Joelinton Carroll 4-3

So. Sustainability predicated on buying low and selling high. Why not; it's worked a treat so far. Slightly different to the MA model of just sell anyone half decent for a half decent price, keep the money
