All players do it not just ours. Connor Gallagher cuts loads in 

Yeah, I know. That's why I said do it too.

Those random ovals on the back of the Arsenal socks, are they part of the design or random holes? They look awfu!

There's a bit of a trend with players cutting holes in their socks to relieve pressure on the calf muscles if the socks are tight.

Bruno and a few of ours do it too.

That DCL red is diabolical. 

Absolute joke.

Surely the £200 million would remain in the clubs accounts until they decided to spend it, whenever that may be.

My understanding is that it would be lost.

Whole thing is a farce.

Neville's excitement there.

This is as bad as under our previous managers. 

Unfortunately, yes.

Pleased for him tbf

Quite a likeable chap. A rarity for that team. 

Howe’s under pressure now. 

Just now, LionOfGosforth said:

It wasn't good today, and the away form is poor but it doesn't take much critical thinking to see why it's like this. I've seen "woeful, clueless and pathetic" and "disgusting, lazy and a disgrace" hoyed around in here. Fuck me people, do you even think for a moment before posting

I don't think they were lazy in any other game this season until today. 

Turned it off.

Howe isn't under any pressure, but the performance today was as poor as we've seen under him. And he's had more players absent than he's had today for a number of matches where we've performed a lot better.

Howe frequently says about how his players give everything. I don't think they did today, and to me that's unacceptable.

There’s absolutely no chance of top 4/5.

Long gone, unfortunately. 7th should be the aim now.

Did Lascelles and Miley go off in the same game break?

Yeah

Worst we've been on the pitch since Bruce, unfortunately.

Is there a link to a graph for this season so far? 

I don't think so. Think the data's purchased by the papers/agencies through Premier Injuries.

Also, this isn't a new thing.

Last season was bad, despite not being in European competition.

No midweek games after Christmas until the end of Jan, then none again for ages after that. We'll be able to take a bit of pressure off of the squad and get players back to being 100%. 

Which makes a total mockery of why there's so many rounds of matches in December.

You squeeze in nonsense international friendlies, then play:

• 25th November
• 28th November
• 2nd December
• 7th December
• 10th December
• 13th December
• 16th December
• 19th December
• 23rd December
• 26th December

Ten fixtures in 31 days is a total joke. I appreciate there's Champions League in that, and we can't buy what we've needed due to FFP, but it's another example of how FFP is designed to keep the proles in their place.

Sick of this shit now. 

Gotta be honest, I've not been prepared for the amount of football this season.

It's been such an emotional rollercoaster with injuries and some great wins, I need more time to recover between matches than one every three or four days.

Cannot imagine how the players feel.

Just now, WideopenMag said:

Yeah didn't really play a big part in the campaign though did he

Nope, he didn't.

You just said he didn't get to play a part in the Champions League matches, I was just pointing out that he did play the full first match. Just in case you'd missed/forgotten.

Our biggest miss, actually feel sorry for him after his hard work in getting us top four last season he didn't get to play a part in the champions league games.

He did play in Milan.

Could be a fixture of our midfield for the next decade and beyond.

Unreal!

Didn't notice his right foot the first time.

This'll get chalked off.

Miggy!!!

So Fulham can have 6 staff on the touchline, but we can't have 2?

Just asking for a friend.
