was just about to post that. Thick suvvern cockney wankers.

And again! Little legend.

Bowen potentially rescuing my piss poor gameweek a bit there.

sorry, it's not from anywhere based on reality. That's the message you always get on Football Manager when you try and get a player back for a second season on loan.

Newcastle are reluctant to loan Yankuba Minteh to Feyenoord and would prefer that he is tested in a different environment. However, they may accept the loan offer if it includes a substantial loan fee and sensible future fee.

Guarantee he'll start to look a hell of a lot better when he gets a bit of a break and has other players around him who aren't knackered too. He's not become a bad player suddenly, he's just in a rut and needs sat down for a few weeks. Hopefully with Willock and Anderson back soon he'll get a break and we'll see him back to his levels where he's a reliable engine room.

Got to be featuring at least as an impact sub and rotation option next season you'd think. Look forward to seeing him in pre-season.

"It's not all about money" when they've got £75m van Dijk scoring the winner

Really hope that's the last thing they win for a long long time, Klopp disappears and they make an arse of the replacement.

Really hope he can get back fit for full games soon, he's an absolute class act. We've missed him a hell of a lot.

I'm a fan in general but he looks shot to bits at the minute. Soon as Willock is able to start I'd sit him down for a few weeks. Hell, start Joe White at Ewood and give him a break.

Ah, nice way for Willock to mark his return and back at the Emirates too. At least something.

Enjoy it while it lasts, he'll be out for Tuesday with a "not serious knock" and then won't play again til August.

Sick to death of conceding bucket loads of goals every week. Surely he can do something different to help us tighten up a bit? Still expected us to get beat tonight as the opposition are on form and much better than us but we've been shipping them against bottom end teams for weeks.

That's absolutely fucking pathetic man. Can't even defend set pieces. What the fuck is Eddie doing with them all week? Still waiting to see the benefit of all that extra training time he was talking about. We look worse.

I really hope tonight's just a very rare shit show from him. He's been the absolute pits here, nowhere near his usual levels.

Knew that little cunt Saka would score against us. Ever since I took him out for doing nowt in weeks he's scored for fun.

There's bound to be criticism of him after probably the worst half of football we've posted in the post-first-transfer-window Howe era. Not expecting a magical second half comeback or anything but we need to show a bit more grit and organisation when we come back out because this has been absolutely chod in virtually every department. We're starting to get players back now (although admittedly there's a fair few key ones still not fit) and the schedule is getting slimmer, but we still lack control and every game we're shipping 2+ goals. There's bound to be some questions asked of Howe and rightly so, but next season with the injuries cleared up and another window behind us we need to see better than this and some of the stuff we've put out lately.

Fuck me, the absolute dictionary definition of a hospital ball from Botman there. I could hear the sirens on that pass.

Eh? No he hasn't.

Fuck off. Had to be that ugly cheating German cunt as well

Fucks sake.

Have to say well done Tierney there for not just letting that yellow go "cos it's early" like so many refs do.

Get beat next week and they'll be hounding out "Doddsy" who last week was the second coming of Peter Reid.

Fuck off Pep and fuck off you floppy haired Belgian tit.
