Answer the fucking question Luke, you prong.

You getting a takeaway in, or cooking something up? Fish and chip Friday, bien sur.

Quite looking forward to it in a weird way, get a beer or two. If I had something else to do, I wouldn't be watching.

Also Fulham are playing much better than either of us.

That seems to suggest that the three players we’re without now is down to covid. Odd.

We can win some by luck, maybe.

If you’re not going to abolish it, the cricket approach of ‘umpires decision’ seems the best. Make the officials referee the game like they did before, then if the decision is massively wrong VAR can change it. If it’s close, go with the on-field decision. A lot of sports use video like that, it’s even what the ‘clear and obvious error’ shite is meant to suggest. Also go back to intentional handball only.

You should get moved down anyway if you only get 33 points.

I don't care about Man Utd or Sunderland, he's just an insufferable bloke and a shit football manager. Worse than that, he claims to be a fan when a fan would be nowhere near the job.

I'm assuming they said stuff to Rafa to get him to sign... none of which Bruce needed because he's absolutely desperate for the job due to being shite.

You only have to listen to Edwards for a moment to realise the guy is a complete mess. He has his agenda and he just pushes it for reaction. He's not the only one, but being so spectacularly wrong doesn't help his standing.

If anything you want to promote the advantage to the person who reacts quicker.

I was telling everyone it was total shit and he'd never come. Couldn't believe it when that footage of his arrival came on. Luv u Rafa

Sounds like we wasted about 4 months challenging the neutral arbitrator, and are now considering wasting even more time appealing that failure. Nobody seems to fully understand the strategy - that third arbitrator was selected in the normal way and confirmed he was neutral.

Our attacking options are Wilson and ASM only, with a bit of Miggy. Currently it’s Joelinton.

That is class

That 'inspired choice' bit He really is a farce.

If he’s back they’ll walk it.

Havertz is good at football mind.

Said it loads of times, but he had good ideas when he arrived. He just didn’t have the backbone or the influence to stick with them when we went on losing. He’s much better tactically than Pardew or Bruce, doesn’t belong in the same group at all.

Seriously? Bruce came out with that? "If we had played Andy and Dwight, then we’d have to change the whole set-up, and I don’t think we had time to do that. "We’re getting used to playing in a certain way, it’s the way I want to play, but unfortunately, having come up with the system, we’ve been struck down by the loss of Almiron, Callum and Allan. It’s been very difficult to try to replace them." Might have had more time if the players weren't off 3 days a week. He needed to work on a new fucking system as soon as Wilson was injured. The cheek of the bloke.

Wilson looks semi-crushed anyway, although playing properly with ASM and Almiron will help.

I don't think we're relevant enough for this to come up TBH. Nobody can really muster any feelings for the situation. TBF I haven't read anything about Dyche/Parker/Potter being sacked either (of course they are much better managers).

They actually needed a striker and they signed one. We didn't bother with anything as normal as addressing any weaknesses.

Not sure if Grealish is ready, apparently he was back running.
