Thought Dummett was good - some leadership from him today

Might hold off any transfers this weekend and save them for the weekend after - next midweek is fa cup week which will determine weeks 26 and 29??

Had the same issue so decided best to transfer him out to save the heartache - bought in Antonio to have my 1 WHU player leaving me to have 5 really strong mids

Hopefully he does, so we can have a Willock on the pitch and a Pillock in the dugout

I disagree, this has to result in a win, just to keep that cushion - I think 35 gets you safe this year, which means another circa 3 wins from somewhere

This is pretty much my take on it too - it’s a must win game - it massive in fact 6 points out of 9 looks ok - you can swap the Everton win for the Palace defeat and it’s what we would have hoped for going into those games

Shelvey will 100% play and they will run rings round him

Just watching Italian Champs League special on BT- showing Milan’s great team of 1988-92 (Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, Ancelotti, Maldini, Baresi etc)- cuts to Rafa - he says he picked out 20 matches from this era and made detailed notes of every match/formation/tactics/line ups and used it as the foundation when he started his coaching career - then I think of Bruce, Agnew and Clemamce

Bloody hope that’s an assist for Creswell

Salah

What happens if neither your Captain or Vice Captain play but you have a sub to come on - does he get your C points??

Always had the technical ability but never played in a team that supplies him so much and the Bielsa coaching factor to add on top

Can’t see him coming on - who is your VC?

Does Joelinton still have the number 9?

Well done Pep for dropping my captain Sterling and Cancelo

Right when are these double gameweeks and who is playing in them? I haven’t got a clue what’s going on

I can just copy and paste my letter to Santa “Dear Santa (replace with Bruce), please can I have a de facto king to buy my football club and for him to bring a Spanish manager in, who preferably has a first name like Rafa or Rafael”

Fair points ^ for me this has always been about piracy - no piracy issues and the deal goes through unless their is some minuscule of a legal loophole

If the PL have blocked the bid due to piracy then it’s perfectly reasonable to block it unless an agreement is reached between the Gulf states, otherwise BeIN will sue the fuck out of the PL imo

Or speed up the takeover and we’ll restore beIN back in Saudi Arabia

Apparently Villa hired Steve Agnew to ‘help’ Bruce out when he was there...?

Finally playing in his Dortmund role - licence to go forward and score/create
