That is fucking amazing. Get in, man.

Would be a very, very sorry indictment of 'sub-elite' European football if one of those pieces of shit teams win this thing. Dearly hope it doesn't happen. Come on Bilbao/Lazio.

surely someone dumps out these horrible Man Utd and Spurs teams

Great summary.

This is exactly it. Even if there is a minuscule additional touch, what exactly is VAR saving us from here? It's the same as these micro-offsides we see every week. There's no actual infringement or unfairness, it's just a stupidly pedantic enforcement of a rule that has changed in nature thanks to VAR.

Incredible. Talk about jumping the shark.

I keep thinking I've seen it all with VAR. What a crock of shit.

Imo, West Ham - though imperfect - gave a hint that he'd end the season having made a mockery of the whole debate. Dubravka looked all day the better option a fortnight ago so if Pope plays a blinder from here on out it would truly be as as it gets.

They need to sort out the three game shit. At least reduce it to two. In almost every case it's totally disproportionate.

I mean I think Bruno has said "I want to be in the clubbystory" in every interview since he arrived. You know he believes it, at least.

I reckon they do. When Gordon did that big interview with Gary Neville in Whitley Bay he said, very matter of factly, "tbh we all thought we'd do it this year." [as in 23/24] I get the impression they fully believe silverware is where they're headed.

Hopefully the vibes swing on here - thanks to Monday and Tuesday's results - is reflected across the wider fanbase/Sunday attendees. It's felt different throughout the whole campaign, this time, really believe we can do it.

Lovely stuff. Start of an awful week for them all being well.

Defeat now got to be the best outcome for us? Probably doesn't make much of a difference. Those injuries though...

Is Europa two entrants guaranteed? So, the FA Cup winners and whoever finishes 6th (assuming 5th is CL)? And then Conference League is limited to one entrant, so the winners of the Carabao OR whoever finishes 7th?

Low C, high D for me. Fine defensively, clumsy to ineffective on the ball. Hope he picks up because he looked a lot better last season.

Those images have never made me want to knock SJP the fuck down more. What we could have, man.

That was my view as well, from the 30 minutes I saw. Thought he did alright in that spell.

Only saw from just before we scored and I thought we were okay apart from those final stages with so many ridiculously wayward forward passes. Pleased for Barnes.

Get in, another terrific win on the road and a timely boost ahead of the final. Wilson and Longstaff need to be absolutely nowhere near the pitch at the weekend. Absolutely useless, the pair of them.

This the part where we're in the lead but surrender the ball at every opportunity? always my favourite

Analysis meaning pundit character banter.

Meaning what?

That's his team knocked out of the FA Cup. Thank you PGMOL for improving our game.

Agree with all of that, but re the first paragraph, I think it's overly simplistic to say "well we could have got so-and-so and so-and-so." For starters, many of those you've listed were very similar signings to the likes of Osula: i.e. young Championship starlets, so to me, listing those argues in favour of us making that signing.
