Isn't it "balls out of the bath" as in "What do you think of the polo neck? Balls out of the bath on this one, Lynn"

Need another Neves and Tiele SOT each for £150. Soyuncu in for my card treble, need Ndidi and Moutinho for £280

I think Craig Pawson must have arrived late to that particular meeting

Neves and Tielemans 2+ SOT 58/1 PP Joao Moutinho 2+ SOT 33/1 PP Nelson Semedo 2+ SOT 18/1 Coral Waiting for BV to do cards...

Klich card just won me £210! Had him with McTominay and Forshaw thanks to Betting Village, wasn't even on the agenda before 77th minute cards for the latter two.

Playing his role for the team well and we're picking up the points. That said - cow's arse, banjo...

WBA fans are absolutely slating Ismael for having them 5th in early Feb, they'll be lucky to finish top half at this rate. I'd love Bruce to get the tin tack from WBA without winning a game, that'd be superb. For once, he inherited a team in the upper reaches of a league and the damage he does will be blatantly obvious as they slide down the league.

His interview quotes on the WBA website include "roll our sleeves up", "that's for sure" and "since I walked through the door". Only missing "dust worsels doon" for a full house.

Seem to remember Bally got a nowts apiece at Old Trafford which whilst a decent result did actually relegate them. A true red and white hee-a-row.

Strange how there's no comments on there from Ball, you'd think he would use that as a platform to talk about how great their fans are etc. Can see why the mackems are worried about him leaving as a sign of massive unrest behind the scenes.

Would shake hands on a point right now, I think this'll be tough.

Exceptional debut. Think he'll be class.

Huge week and I have no complaints about the way we've played in these two home games, today not as stylish as midweek but game management and defending a lead comfortably boxes ticked today in a big way. I'm still not fully convinced by some of the selection decisions (Lascelles seemingly only missing out by necessity today) but he's banished some of the knackers like Clark, Ritchie etc and the new buys all look great, other than Wood who doesn't look like he has a goal in him despite helping the shape a lot. I was more critical than most and the next few games will be interesting to see if we can maintain the form, but I'm a hell of a lot more reassured with EH than I was even a month ago and I have to hold my hands up to that.

Did fine I thought. Shout out for his game management too, every throw-in was 30-40 seconds in the final quarter of the match and it didn't feel like he was piss-taking or getting noticed by the ref.

How many free kicks did he give against us 2nd half? Must have been near enough one every 2 minutes on average

I hope the lads all call him "Officer".

I swear we're cursed.

Good half that. Gutted for Javi Manq.

Is it just me, or... The trip on Willock may have possibly been just marginally touching the line, but basically impossible to tell. How is that a clear and obvious error that VAR can immediately change? After watching Maddison and Trossard really obvious buy penalties only to be told "not clear and obvious so can't overrule" it seems drastically unfair on us yet again. Obviously I'd mind a lot more had Trippier not bagged the freekick, but still...

Southampton would be about 4-1 up if Stuart Armstrong could shoot.

Cheers. Gone for I Like To Move It in the 3.35.

I'm on this as well with the free fiver.

Think we'll have our eyes elsewhere come the summer but we can't just go out and buy a team of galacticos, we need to upgrade every position and have options and he's an excellent one. Would be super happy if he came back for a couple of years as we start to build and played a part, if not a starring role.
