He won’t last. Ashley and Boehly vibes. Worst of both combined.

His wrist is "ok". A friend of mine bumped into him this morning.

Lucky he didn't injure him.

Don't we have to pay him whilst he's on gardening leave?

Yeah.

Whatever it is, though, it would be worth it .  

4 mins injury time 

Booking all day long for any other team in the league.

Don’t know. Is it even as bad as the Roeder injury crisis?

From memory Roeder had a month or two with about 11 or 12 players out, then usually had between 4 and 7 out for most of that crisis.

We've had at least 9 players out for about six months, and I think we peaked at 13.

So yeah, from memory, I think it's worse.

I don't actually think it's that bad, Holgate legs are a bit wild but it's not horrific or anything. Definitely a red card obviously but the Co comms going over the top with it once again.

 

 

 

Suspect your avatar is pretty accurate in this instance.  

“Twisted his wrist” apparently. 
 

We’re now in the realms of injuries I didn’t know were possible.

How many injuries have been “freak” injuries?

Off to the top of my head,

• Barnes toe snapping off while jogging.
• Burn's broken back.
• Anderson's broken back.
• Murphy's shoulder popping out (twice).
• Pope's shoulder popping out.
• And now Wilson's chest snapping.

Annoyed if he goes.

He was a symbol of the new era, a kind of "we're ready to take football seriously again" statement.

Losing him to Manchester Fucking United of all clubs is a bitter pill to swallow.

That said, he's not the only good Director of Football in the world, and provided we replace well, it's not a huge deal. Good riddance if he jumps ship so quickly.

Not one for the eccentric goal celebrations, but genuinely enjoyed that one from Luiz

If that were one of our players, there's a reasonably good chance they would have dislocated both shoulders.

We've definitely changed shape here.

Trippier and Miley playing DM!? 3 at the back. 

It's all over, but definitely looks intentional.

Honestly no idea how to call this. Could be easily be a landslide either way or score draw.

0-0 draw it is.

Burn better produce a hell of a performance. If he's rinsed and it leads to us shipping goals, it's fully on Howe and inexcusable, tbh.

It was also nowhere near as bad as Murphy's finish

Not sure Murphy actually hit the target from one yard.

0.64 XG on that Longy chance  

 

Mate

Less than I thought, tbf.

Feels like Anfield, this.

Nine minutes? WTF?

He certainly didn’t read that about Longstaff on here

huh whatever happened to Zaniolo being investigated in that betting scandal

Got off with a fine, I think.

West Ham have agreed a deal to sign Kalvin Phillips on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season, according to reports.  (Mail Sports)

He'll still be here Colback-style in 4 years time cause when Bruce eventually gets jettisoned we'll not be able to get him off the books.

 

Still he'll be good for the champo.

This aged very well indeed.

Defers revenue to next year maybe? If we're not buying anyone and have nailed FFP for the last 3 years, then there is no benefit to additional revenue in this period. 

Isn’t it done on a rolling 3 year basis, year by year? 
 

In which case revenue is revenue and would benefit a three year period regardless.

I continue to be puzzled by this narrative. Why do we have to sell one of our best players to “advance to the next stage of the project?” If we sell Bruno for 50m and buy his replacement for 50m how is that helping anything with regards to FFP? Why not just keep the good players we have and spend what we can instead?

I think because if you sell the player for the cash up front, you can spread the replacement across five years, and that has an accounting impact.

So selling Bruno for £50m, you could sign 3x £50m players on three year contracts.

Or something to that effect.

It's nonsense.

Edit: @sushimonster85 explained it better above.

Well, yeah.  

It’s total hindsight.
