£10m for a young, promising English player is shite really. Especially an attacker. First chance they get and they flog their young gems for a pittance.

Great news he's around for a bit longer, but we really need to have a younger CB with some pace sharing the duties with him next season.

Seems like Neave is ahead of him in the young'in pecking order though. He scored tonight also and only played a half, wonder if that's so he can sit on the bench again on Wednesday?

you get the impression Brucey would look for an excuse to get himself to hospital if there's free tea and biscuits going afterwards.

That the one with the batsman on the end of the string and you let go of it? Absolutely elite game.

HAULED OFF

Also a very funny riff where Bruce gives Phil Brown Vine's mobile number to ask him about a loan move, but hasn't spoken to Vine about going on loan at all. Vine says no to Brown then gives his mate who's a plumber Bruce's mobile number and says to ring and text him asking if he wants any plumbing doing saying that it's no different.

What a bonny bunch stood outside the Strawberry there

"A bit more established than Dwight ever was" is such an insult too. 140-odd Premier League appearances, 140-odd Championship appearances and a decent strike rate and he's dismissing him as not knowing what he's talking about. For someone who loves to quote the number of games he's managed and therefore that means he knows what he's doing, that totally contradicts the fat lazy cunt's point that a player with well over 300 senior appearances doesn't know a good manager from a shit one. I'd love it if Dwight bit back and talked him down even more

Just look at how angry and bitter he is, bringing up a chance he once missed to try and discredit him. I really hope we get others come out and say the same when they retire - I bet Matt Ritchie would do a great podcast on how shit Fat Head is.

Should have the radio station on a floating structure in the North Sea in the middle of that catchment area they always bleat on about.

Gateshead have absolutely shat the bed. In real danger of pissing away their playoff place.

Ian Ladyman, a new name for the idiot list. In the same article he says Rashford had a decent night absolute fucking moron.

Foden is absolutely trash every time he puts on the England shirt. Sick to death of him wasting a place.

Let me guess Not good enough for England O'Nien or Ballard more deserving of it Won't be celebrating if he or Gordon score They'd give this England side a game

Love it.

A good idea is a good idea forever.

I'm sure the Magna Carta didn't have that much fucking text on it up your game please, Squires.

Watching it back again and the holding of the ball in the corner during the closing stages by Wilson, Willock, Sandro, Joelinton and others was a fantastic demonstration of a lost art that Shearer will have been proud as punch of. Absolutely class.

first the airport, now the buses. How will the mackems get around if they keep boycotting public transport? At least they've still got the Metro after Jeff Brown popped up on that ghastly Metro Musical thing a few years back.

That's the most transparent one yet Must have been a horrible weekend for them, got to try and cheer themselves up somehow the useless bastards.

Palace fans love to take the moral high ground, if they appoint Moody it'll be a bit more difficult given he was the one swapping multiple racist and offensive messages with Malky Mackay at Cardiff.

loyal Palace man Dougie getting absolutely weighed in by a second division team of no-marks in Saudi, that'll piss those bang average twats and their weird fans off no end. Wonder who's gonna replace him? Pards is available.

There's a bunch of pre-takeover lads who really deserve the trophy win for their contributions both before and after Eddie came in but he's probably right at the top of the list. He was the young lad who tried to take it by the scruff of the neck when nobody else would, captained us back into the Premier League, helped us consolidate and get the new era underway, with a colossal game against PSG at home for good measure. Inevitably he'll move on in the summer but I really hope he gets at least a cameo at SJP before he goes on his way, he deserves the appreciation of the crowd one more time. He'll not be remembered amongst our best ever players in years to come but for sure will go down as a very important figure in the recent era. So glad he got to lift that trophy.
