Bournemouth doing a helluva job of pulling us down to their level. Get flashback of us under Pardew watching them in a way. Hopefully Howe has some good plans on how to counter it and we step up in effort and quality next half.

St. James' sounds like a cemetary. Not much to cheer for so far I guess, but not much to spur on the players either.

Why? Genuine question The trip was clear.

No comments on the Burn trip? Does a trip have to be intentional for it to be a foul?

It would be too divisive no matter what they did, so N-O decided to do nothing.

Very brave of Lage to persist with Collins. He's Bramble on speed. Worst CB in the league?

Possibly going to regret it later when double game weeks are starting, but spent my free hit as I had 5 players out this game week and kinda want my old team back for next round. Will cry if we, Tottenham and Man City don't get good results.

Hopefully we're not trying to emulate being Man Citys tiki taka with 1.50cm tall players passing the ball among themselves outside of the opposition area for 80% of the match and try to be a bit more direct. If so, there is more than enough room for Joelinton in years to come imo, provided he keeps the level he is at now or improves. He's more than good enough with the ball, and it'll be easier for him too if/when we get players who are better at keeping the ball and making themselves available for passes. I'd be very sad if he wasn't a regular for us still in 2-3 years time.

He really doesn't like French center backs.

Who was it on here that said they would go down this season as the gap between league 1 and champo was bigger than the gap between champo and PL?

He was 4 years old back then

Sounds like our very own new Aaron Spear

They'll probably go ultra defensive like they did against Villa(?) in their first match. Having Bruno and ASM back to help unlock their back 5 & low block will be key to win. If they aren't ready for this match I'll probably hoy a bet on for a 0-0 draw.

Don't torys, conservatives, right wingers donate a ton to charities like food banks etc? I always get the impression that is part justification for stripping down public safety nets, health care etc.

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind for next time as I usually buy a shirt every time I travel over. Already bought two from Toffs linked above for now

If Charles keels over soon too maybe there will be enough money back to the people to get them through the winter months. More royal funerals!

Howe doesn't give away tactics. He doesn't even give out injury status to journalists. Ofc he will tell them yes on the question if he want to play Wilson and Isak together. Time will tell if he actually does.

Do you think people who aren't Christians should work on public holidays?

Pretty sure that was during the first year after he joined us. Everything he touched turned into a goal

I always got the impression he was put at left back at Inter Milan as the manager couldn't give him any game time anywhere else, and then he just became a left back. A bit similar to Hughes being a right back here because he couldn't get playing time at CB. Always wanted to see Santon getting an extended run at right back too.

Can understand why a coach wouldn't want his player on youtube spreading gossip/stories about the ongoings inside the club. Doubt the actual youtube-work interferes any with 3-4 hours of training ~5 days a week though

I placed an order from these yesterday. Got an e-mail today from their customer service to check if I had ordered the right number on one of the shirts since I had ordered the number 0 on one of them. Confirmed it was correct, and got a thank you back. Just though I'd throw that out there as I've never experienced such a nice and proactive customer service before when ordering something online.

Is he planning to join Tim Wiese into professional wrestling or something? That physique can't be optimal for a keeper surely?

Frank Lampard vs Christian Vieri. One had 193, the other 194. I picked wrong. Fuck this game
