I don't know like, we live in a world where that loveable Jimmy Bullard got called up to the England squad by the hugely successful Fabio Capello and he spent the week shouting POSTMAN PAT in his face for a laugh. Stupid fucker.

People thought, without evidence, she might buy the club outright with the winnings.

Aye you’ve got until the deadline to fuck about with it and transfer in Wilson or something

Why not put in Richarlison over DCL if he’s going to play twice and DCL might play once?

Benched Gudogan which is going to cost me. My grip on top spot is slipping!

Almiron was so good today. He has been for a few games now, no player sums up Bruce's lack of brains than the way he's played Miggy. When you think under Rafa (and by all accounts his career before he moved here) all of his good work had come from the left or centre of the pitch, he's spent a disgusting amount of time playing on the right or even ludicrously as a second striker when idiot boy took charge. This system is ideal for him to be a nuisance but also keep us moving in the final third. Having ASM to pass to will obviously help, he looked back to near his best first half today. He's borderline unplayable when he gets going and having willing runners like Almiron and Willock will help him. It is nice actually looking forward to seeing us try and play football. I think we'd all agree that with the players we've got, all we've wanted is the team to be let off the leash a bit without being an absolute state at the back. Jones has managed to do that in a couple of weeks, imagine what a really good manager could do with a whole pre-season? On the negative side, Hendrick remains a waste of skin and surely will be the one to drop out for Willock when everybody is back. I didn't think Shelvey was as bad today but he didn't have to cross halfway in the second half so he probably wasn't as knackered as usual. Matty Longstaff in particular must feel hard done by to be nowhere near the team, I didn't think he did that much wrong when he got back in the side. Sean has been very poor for a while now but Matty surely must be worth a space on the bench. Special mention to Dummett who came on having barely played for a year and found himself in the perfect position several times. He's a better centre back than a left back for me but I imagine that'll be put to the test over the next few weeks as we're rapidly running out.

72 for me this week with Son still playing. I have Bamford (15) and Lewis (11) on the bench though which is annoying.

I remember him being booed off at home to Norwich, obviously not helped by us being behind and him trudging off. It was only once we got forced to playing him in DM (with Saivet) away at West Ham when he became a machine

Isn’t that why Lascelles lamped him in training? He was much better after that

Rafa bought us a squad of players to get us promoted, which he achieved. He had been given assurances he could move them on to buy better but that never materialised because of the owner. Fair enough, he signed some stinkers but who doesn’t? Sels was a Belgian international but atrocious for us. Lazaar was barely used but showed nothing of use. Murphy is still developing but yes we probably could have used that money better elsewhere. The likes of Joselu etc were the best we could get for basically peanuts

We should absolutely all send him a letter

That guy on Twitter who leaks Leicester’s team every week is saying it. So it probably is true

Can barely be arsed to talk about the actual football but did anybody notice Hayden put in about three crosses Carroll might have made something of when he went to right back? The irony of course being Carroll was off by then...

Aye don’t do it to yourselves. Wait for actual updates rather than trying to gauge whether a tweet is positive or not.

Slim pls

Manquillo? Not the type I expected to kick off like

I wish this this was true but even the lascelles/asm turned out bull They both just happened to get long covid, one of whom was so ill with it he was allowed to go home to France and visit elderly relatives.

I don’t think bringing in a new coach means an awful lot either way for the takeover. I think he will probably be the interim manager in a few weeks or months and is more qualified than any of the Steve’s to do that. He’s a cheap way to try and get an ounce of improvement and make it look like we are doing something about being shit without having to spend millions on a new player.

Roy Keane

Not Grealish, why would he know about Pulis? Think it’ll be De Leat or some other clogger

If we want a stop gap I think the most realistic is Pearson. It isn’t a difficult job if the task is to stay up, just need that fabled new manager bounce everyone else seems to enjoy. Couple of wins and we’ll be in clear air again, it’s not coming under Bruce but anybody even semi-competent would manage it.

I remember arguing with Sean a year ago when Wallstreet journal broke the story, he didn’t believe the whole thing was real then either. Some people are just naturally pessimistic, it doesn’t mean they are wrong. It’s a lot easier to just assume it won’t happen and save yourself the heartache when it doesn’t happen for what is now approaching 12 months.

It’s your party York but if you’re playing free hit this week you should have 11 playing twice really

Worried he's due a rest to be honest. Can't believe he played against Birmingham ffs
