What the fuck is 'national mackem day'? As if anyone NOT a mackem is going to be giving a solitary shit and them? Is the whole country expected to bedeck itself in red and white, drink blue pop, eat cheesy chips, shit in a seat and fuck seabirds? National mackem day, give over.

If you found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, all everyone would hear from you is that it was the wrong shape.

I noticed on goal kicks they'd stick a few players right up to stop us playing out from the back, so we just went long. We did the same to them and they just kept trying to play out, refused to ever go long. You've got to be flexible and they weren't at all.

I moved to Bournemouth 13 or 14 years ago, Howe has been my number one choice since about 2014. Astonishing manager who just improves everyone around him.

As soon as the pass was played, before he even took a touch to control it, I thought "goal".

Yeah I thought that, wanted to do the 'team' thing with his first chance. Fair play. When Wilson failed to convert it, it gave Barnes full permission to shoot next time.

I wasn't going to have anything to drink tonight. No way is that lasting now.

I believe it's any part of your body you can score with, so not your arm. But basically everything else including the top of your shoulder.

Yeah I was only watching it on my phone but it looked offside even on the replays. Will be interesting to see MOTD tonight on a big screen.

As long as they keep it central, I don't mind a new stadium. And build it with atmosphere in mind, and sit people (or stand them) accordingly.

I'll be watching this at midnight and live posting updates in here without spoilers.

Amazing that they're rather just continue to discuss it in private than actually confront it.

That's the entire point of FFP. It's a feature, not a bug. They don't want anyone else buying their way into their little club.

They're probably just trying to push up West Ham's asking price by putting out rumours we're still interested, and for a silly price. Be rather surprised if it works. But they know West Ham have £100m burning a hole in their pockets.

His knee actually exploded.

£45m Get fucked Man U. Obscene money for a mediocre plodder afraid of the ball.

Except their own

Always amusing when they play at home in the cup because due to the revenue sharing they have to declare the correct actual number of paying attendees, rather than just how many tickets they chucked in a bin and declared "distributed". Should be quite enlightening.

I'm glad there's a link there, because sometimes it's hard to differentiate the ramblings of RTG from peak Ernest Hemmingway.

Yeah let's not do that then.

It wasn't a totally serious suggestion. Probably should've added a safety smiley.

Too late I know, but just thinking about Chelsea's 50% add-on clause and Saints wanting to clear £xm after that had been paid. Could we not have "bought" some no-mark reserve player from Southampton for £20m, they throw in Livramento for free, Southampton net everything they want, we pay less and Chelsea get fucked?

I was in the Middle East when we signed him, and was working with a Burnley fan. He was a really good guy and we have many good chats about football, and he told me then that Hendrick was dogshit. Always trust the fans of other clubs. They know.

Guess he's your Newcastle ITK contact now then.

I mean I'm not sure what anyone could do if that even happened?
