He's our best player. But his fitness was a little suspect even at the best of times. If it's true then we might get the odd 10 mins out of him. If he has any lung damage like some cases you hear of then his career is fucked. Most likely the covid excuse was bollocks however.

Such a great goal. Showed Dyer's potential with that unreal pace. Shame injuries and probably attitude stopped him becoming a great player.

Joke of a pen decision. Literally trips himself up

"Look you can look at the statistics as much as you want." Steve Bruce

It's starting to feel like a deal was made some time ago and agreement made to keep him away until he leaves for another team to avoid injury or because he fell out with Bruce or something. I know that seems over the top paranoid but nothing would surprise me with the idiots in charge of us. I really want us to hang on to Allan in the hopes we get taken over. I feel like he is our diamond in the rough. There is so much raw talent there and with a good manager he can only get better. It will hurt to watch him fulfil that potential elsewhere.

genuinely looks terrified that he has to answer questions. The little disgusted head shake after the lee ryder question aswell The answer to the last question as well. "we are where we are, and where we are, is where we are." Is that his version of Trump's "it is what it is"

The media reaction to Rafa compared with Bruce is night and day.

GF:"what's that!? Sounds like Porn?" Yeah cheers mate

I was just thinking. The wider general public and fans of other clubs wouldn't even know the fans were upset with him if it wasn't for his interviews There have been no fans in ground for around 10 months. There's literally no direct pressure on the cunt and yet he knows he's shit and is so scared of when fans return he's on the ultra defensive despite softball questions from media partners. The difference between him and Pardew is that Pardew would use the lack of fans to his benefit and play the hero. He would be flat out lying pretending the fans love him and all is well. Whereas Bruce plays the victim.

if this is all true and both players are suffering long term effects, this could have massive implications on their careers Has there been much data yet around how long these effects last for people that have had them? Or are the people who have had long-term fatigue still suffering? I hope it is bullshit and we get taken over and both players return fit and healthy as soon as Bruce is kicked to the curb.

have none of the local "reporters" even bothered to ask the question? the last official line was that he was injured wasn't it? But that was quite a number of games ago.

All I could think last night was... jammiest lucky cunt alive. We did nothing last night. Deserved absolutely nothing from that game. I was expecting us to come out attacking 2nd half but all that happened was Fulham sat off us for some reason and we proceeded to pass it round the back 4 and then hoofed it. We literally had one moment where we attacked at speed and that lead to the penalty which was arguably outside the box and then the red card which wasn't a red card. I just couldn't believe this spawny gits luck. Even then he couldn't find a way to win the game despite having all that time left with the extra man. If ASM was playing we probably win that game. Which just shows again that the majority of games we have just squirmed our way out of without ever having control or deserving the points. Hope we get absolute smashed all over the place in the next few games. But it changes nothing. As usual everything still hinges on a takeover ?

Every game now he seems to faff about on the ball and get pushed off it leading to a dangerous attack. Meanwhile he just slowly saunters back. Not that he could catch up anyway with his lack of pace. But so many of our players need an eternity to get the ball under control and then make a pass. It was painful watching, especially 2nd half when Fulham stopped pressing and we just passed it across the back 4 nice and slow and then run out of ideas so just pumped it long to Wilson. Just showed the complete lack of coaching going on. I've seen better build up play from Sunday league players. The amount of time players like longstaff think they have aswell is like Sunday league. This is allegedly the best and fastest paced league in the world and we have shit like longstaff and Richie starting in 2020.

Pass around the back 4 then lump it forward. Lose the ball. Rinse and repeat. God awful

Team looked completely fucked physically from about 65 mins or so. Particularly Hayden, Longstaff and Joelinton.

So many man buns ?

They are the antithesis to us

As expected Lewis playing with 0 confidence still. Mistake starting him.

Anyone else's amazon down already? Same error codes again

Wonder if amazon prime will fuck up again and save me from being tempted to watch the full 90

Hendrick in, Almiron out

hate to say it but would probably prefer Richie over Lewis right now for LB

That's a decent assist from Joe ?

No saint-maximin Probably only thing that keeps me interested in our games these days with the possibility he could do something Ben Arfa-esque

If we flip all this where we are the bad guys(not hard in the Saudi's case I suppose) and the Premier league are the good guys stopping the evil getting in ?. Will it not look bad if later down the line its proved that these two lawsuits or whatever are coordinating and everyone is working together behind the scenes to take down the Premier league? Or is that allowed legally and there is no conflict of interest l. If that's the case then wouldn't the consortium and the fan group be more open about there collusion?
