We really leaving two up when down to 10 men?

Someone give this kid a gobstopper ffs.

Personally I'm up for a season of attacking football in the championship if need be. Bring it on.

Been playing that in my draft basically all season, working pretty well. Helps I've got James and Chilwell tbf.

Live score updated to 4-2 Brentford ffs.

Woke up nervous for this. Genuinely can't remember the last time that's happened.

Think it's a big blow tbh. The positive impact of him being in the stadium, a fresh start with a new manager will be dampened. I hope it doesn't affect the players.

Want my fiver back. @brummie

He posted a few positive bits about the takeover didn't he? Did he really think Bruce was going to stay after that? His form dropping off is a worry, I'd be surprised if it's anything to do with Bruce though.

Personally would like to avoid the absolute inevitability of a Bruce side stinking up a victory against us. We've seen the luck he gets with results for ourselves.

The Wilson chance is gutting, could be a massive moment in our season if that goes in.

Watched the last 15. We looked very poor, absolutely shit scared.

Steady Eddie. Let's go King.

Chance that Howe actually gets more out of our squad immediately than an Emery type who is very system focused? We need a boost and points right now. Someone more familiar might be better.

Left my first comment on an Athletic article under that earlier. Tone deaf bollocks.

My draft team's midfield went crazy this week. Salah (24), Foden (18), Cornet (15), Smith-Rowe (13). 70 points.

Especially with Krath playing ahead of Schar. Makes you think something's gone on with with him behind the scenes, the way he's been frozen out.

Smith Rowe in my draft and main team.

Yeah agreed, we can and should also start to rediscover our agency as a fanbase and agitate for what we believe in. Ashley as you say completely killed that. The circumstances and context are so that the new owners HAVE to develop a good relationship with the fans. Let's use that!

Remember, on here, when it was "we just want someone who will run the club properly, they don't need to spend loads of money". Bit disconcerting to see how quickly that's gone out of the window and a lot of people are now happily discussing ways we can maximise our spending at the expense of the name of our ground. I think it's healthy to draw a line in the sand with any new owners and I hope this could be it.

Not for me, Geoff. Interested to see how the wider fanbase feels about this though.

Not watching these vids of him unless he's appointed. If I do then I'll get excited and we'll get Lampard.

Thank Christ I can stop thinking about him now and 90% of the time forget he even exists, much like McClaren. Another weight lifted off our shoulders.

Maybe a bit OTT, but unless he's protected by the whole team playing deep and centrally he's always looked uncomfortable in the PL imo.

Why does he bow his head as if he's straining to see when he's faced with any sort of defensive duty. Anyone else noticed that? Like "look I'm really concentrating, not my fault I won't get within 5 yards of this cunt"
