If we can somehow start Barnes and Gordon both in form, we are cooking. Surely one of them is still fine on the right, and they can rotate in game as well.

Even doing it once is great progress for him really. He hasn't been inconsistent, he's just been bad. Thought there was a bit of a release after his last penalty, good to hear he followed it up and played well. We need him to be brilliant and he should be brilliant most of the time TBH, just needs to get out of whatever headspace was holding him back.

Very unusual if all that happens at once.

Even 3 or 4 is absolutely mental to me, max 1 for those idiots even considering the idea.

Online purchase history is nowhere near comprehensive as well. Pretty sure mine only goes back a few seasons at best. Can’t remember what happened, either a system change or I just started a new account for some reason.

Very fair point.

I would advise just wait and see what happens rather than speculating on how it's going to work. Bound to wind people up since the stakes are so high. However you slice it the chances of a ST in the next 5-10 years is absolutely tiny. For most of us it's going to be purely academic.

The plus is that we know that Elanga can be effective in the PL, just need to work out why he hasn't been for us yet.

It's actually to our detriment that Murphy played so well with Isak, otherwise he would've been peddled ages ago in the manner of Longstaff, for just being clearly way below the level we need. Fair play to how he's bust a gut to make himself useful to the club though, I respect him for that. But he can't really play for us for much longer. Kind of similar to how Miggy and Wilson played the best football of their career and convinced us not to bin them at the time we should have.

I'm obviously massively attached to SJP but it's not really for anything specific about the design or the actual building. And it's really not for the atmosphere either, which is up and down but I can't see how moving would make it worse. It's just because of the amount of times I've been and how it feels like home. Think this is a once in several lifetimes opportunity to build something immense. But it does have to be immense.

Would've expected higher. When I tell fans of other clubs our prices they usually say they're cheaper than they pay. Especially London. Not that it's really an important point on the atmosphere.

Wissa's been injured all season, I think Ramsey was always intended as an opportunist move for a different profile of player to add to our options. Only Elanga has been a bad signing at the moment.

Surely we're not charging the same as those London clubs you mention? I thought they were commonly £100+.

Yeah, I actually like Blaydon Races before the game because everyone can sing it, but I don't get why he lets the lyrics start again just before KO. No understanding of the dynamics of the situation at all.

He can't even see which way the ball is going. And it doesn't even come off the lad's foot, it comes off half way up his shin. If he moved he would've been purely guessing.

He's probably one of the most technically gifted players in the league TBF, and he's also fairly physical when he wants to be.

Such a weird guy, seems to have loads of talent but just can't be arsed to impact the game half the time. Doesn't seem to enjoy the game.

I don't think any keeper would've saved it, he couldn't see. The punch was the mistake.

I used to go in any turnstile that had a small queue as the tickets opened any one. But last time I tried it didn’t scan, so not sure if that still works. The signs and labelling of the access points and sections once inside the ground is appalling though.

Even if demand slackens they'll never bring the prices down. I just don't think it works like that in football. 65k would be ridiculously small IMO, and a waste of time. May as well just stay as we are.

Always hard to tell if he sent the keeper or the keeper just guessed wrong. As you say, it wasn't anywhere near the corner so I suppose you have to assume the former. I was really worried about the reaction if he'd missed.

Crap, only sizes for the more svelte gentleman left.

Training with Wissa will probably help him as well. Wissa himself has made the transition from more all-round player to expert fox in the box.

He really tries to close people down as well, he doesn't just jog around.
