Ah, so you're in favour of social and racial injustice? Got it.

'Woke' is being aware of social injustice. I'm woke and proud.

I was talking about Longstaff not Miley. My point is we need to register 4 over-21 home grown players for Europe and because we don't have 5 now we would be silly to let one go. We'll have empty seats on the bench. We'll be signing new first team players who we can't even register.

I know, which is why we need 5 in order to let Longstaff go without leaving a space. A) An injury and a suspension in midfield, and he's needed B) "seems the club are more open to him going" - Based on what? Have you been on the phone to Mitchell? I mean he might well go. He might not. Just seems like it'll leave us short of cover for a vital competition next year. We complain about our bench at the moment, next year we might have actual empty seats on it.

Constantly baffled at people basically selling Longstaff now. Sure he's not a starter, but can any of you explain who our 5 over21 homegrown players are who we can register for the CL next year? Longstaff is 1, Gillespie another I think? Then after that? We must register 4, so unless there's 5 on the books I can't see how we let Longstaff go. We'll have to leave blank squad spaces for our (presumed) CL campaign. Madness.

Howe OUT, Tindall IN

I mean they're right, we HAVE seen them given. They were all given incorrectly though, but still.

Rather lose every week than accept sportswashed blood money etc etc marra

Been way better than Rodri this season.

How's he going to displace Schar?

Was Townsend the one who just kept referring to "United" all game? Disrespectful cunt, whoever it was.

When good teams play badly against us, we often know it's down to us stifling them and nullifying them and get infuriated when the press / mackems etc say "I see the other team didn't turn up - AGAIN". We should be careful not to do the same here.

It's my second favourite goal, but I preferred Isak's. When Burn scored I was elated beyond words of course, but I thought it might ultimately be for nothing. When Isak scored, I actually started to believe we'd win.

But that player then wouldn't be progressing their skills as a goalkeeper, aside from maybe shot stopping, as Gillespie's job is just to spend all day having shots pelted at him. There's more to GK training than that, adn whoever took up that role from the youth setup would effectively be sacrificing their career.

I don't think we can just "let go" a centre back who is a good bit younger than our current starters who we're worried might lose all pace at any given moment. He's proven he's more than capable in the PL. If Burn and SChar suddenly become immobile statues and we can't play them it's not about him being 5th choice anymore, it's about him suddenly being 3rd choice. Or even second choice as he's 4th now.. We need legs in that central defence, or at least the option of them. We cannot rely on a central defence devoid of any pace at all. (I caveat this with not knwing how he'll return from a horrible injury but I assume the club know enough on his progress to be confidenet)
