Makes sense. Forgot they did that.

I suppose it could end up a bigger break in practice once fixture lists are confirmed but it barely feels worth calling something a winter break if it's only guaranteeing a week's break between games.

But what about the winter!?!?

He was all in on the Bored Ape shite wasn't he? I know it's a joke but it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be him.

Wonder if they'll recoup anything from another gullible promoted team. Just keep passing him on to the next promoted ones. Give him the dream Burnley return.

Right now I'm excited for every signing we make, but I do wonder if there'll come a time when spending a speculative €7m on an 18 year old prospect becomes so commonplace that it doesn't even warrant a thread.

Bring him home.

It would he an honour to see him in the black and white. If its after Bruno goes then hopefully he takes on the famous number 39.

Were Barca envied as far as how they operated when they were sponsorless then easing in with Unicef for goodwill? I feel like when I was younger I saw them as some bastion of how to run a big club honourably but I don't know if I was just blinded by youthful naivety. Either way they're utter shite these days.

NWOAT

Narrows it down.

As ever there's a balance between slagging him off and suckling at Ashley's hoop. Just as he had a right to continue earning a wage from Ashley, fans can feel a certain way about him coming out with Pardew-like sycophant rhetoric like 'all credit to Mike Ashley' and 'Mike Ashley stabilised the club'.

He seemed to be able to steer clear of his usual clichés of fan pressure/demands that he's always like to reach for. I guess when the team is actually performing well, as a pundit you don't need to keep dwelling on the points you used to use so much as to why it was in disarray. Did he effectively say Liverpool aren't getting Bellingham because they're not one of the 'very biggest clubs' at the end, too?

Although I'm unreasonably irritated at the same person's colour changing with every message.

Have all three football league division playoff finals ever gone to penalties before l?

I don't want it to be true but he'll get the team working as it should unfortunately. A club allowed to spend that much money can only fail for so long.

I really hope that was a conscious choice.

Self-loathing isn't healthy, Michael.

Congratulations to the mighty Everton, enjoy your pitch invasion and flares for.. *checks notes*.. Staying in the league.

For relegation scrappers Everton a pack of soft little shites.

Just had that feel of it flying in as soon as he lined it up.

Cracking strike for the wankers tbf.

Stuck the Everton game on barely five minutes ago and hear their fans gagging for a handball. Is that just a staple of theirs? Gave me flashbacks to a few weeks back.

It's mad how disinterested I seem to be today. By disinterested I mean I'm still on here and Flashscore, peeking in this thread, but I think I'm so exhausted by what's already come this season that I just don't have the energy for such a low stakes game now.

Jesus. Spurs out of Europe and Everton relegated if it stays like this. For the love of God please.
