1500 on a Saturday has become the graveyard shift for PL games. Why are all the big games on a Sunday now? Foreign TV audiences?

Nuno to West Ham

West Ham are pathetic but it’s sickening watching Chelsea’s £1bn squad and stacked bench. So much for the greatest league in the world. This season will be the one the ESL cartel clubs power away from the also rans. The anti-competitive nature of the PL will destroy itself.

I like the narrative that’s building around Isak being welcomed back Into the fold. Not because I ever want to see the traitorous cunt at SJP again but because it will wind the fuck out of his agent and lead to another cascade of paid shill tweets from the usual cunts.

He went to PSG to be behind several galacticos; I don’t think he gives a shit.

I think TC is actually a Brentford fan, he’s always maintained that Wissa to NUFC gets done. Also that the ‘£60m’ price tag is wide of the mark.

I’d take Jackson at a decent price and I think Howe could really improve him. Fuck getting involved in a bidding war with ‘several’ other clubs. I’d sidestep that shit.

Pot 4 again? We’re about to become every team’s Pot 4 nightmare.

That’s more than a reasonable offer for a player who will be 30 next season and a free agent in 12 months. Walk away and let Brentford sort out that shit show.

Exactly, a fully committed Isak and the three or four top tier players we thought we were getting and we’d be challenging them. This is so disappointing.

Love to know what the squad think of that statement…

Last desperate throw of the dice. No offer from Liverpool on the horizon. Mood music from the club that he’s staying and will be asked to ‘re-integrate’ with the squad when the window closes. Both him and his greedy fucktard agent are getting desperate so have thrown some more fuel on the fire. Made himself look totally weak. What a bellend. He only deserves our disdain. i hope this has hardened the club’s stance.

Jackson would be the Isak replacement, similar playing style and circa £60m. Not saying we should buy him but this mythical ‘Isak replacement’ doesn’t exist. We just need two strikers who can score 15+ goals a season.

Fucking ridiculous that.

No way that’s a pen.

Need to drip feed a few more ‘Isak will be expected to reintegrate’ type articles just to wind his agent up and watch the coordinated response from the paid shills.

Dug deep today for the team. No complaints here, he looks motivated.

The bloke is like Frank Beckenbauer these days. Great technique, positioning and anticipation. Seems a long time ago I’d have my heart in my mouth every time he was on the ball.

Stranger things has have happened, after all the rhetoric and damaging Isak drama at least we have the outcome of this match in our own hands. Howe will have circled the wagons, we need some big performances but a win would stick two fingers up at the cartel press and that sulky Swedish twat. Howay the Lads!!!!

He’s obviously talented but he still looks very raw to me, a lot more ungainly than Isak when we bought him. Time will tell but I’m not convinced he’ll set the PL alight.

Jammy cunts.

Yeah, even if Liverpool get their usual 90 +9 winner I’ve seen enough to know they are flawed. Slot will know too, no way they walk the league this season.

Lucky bounce, not impressed by Liverpool so far. They’ve spent £300m and look worse. Defence looks shaky, Wirtz and Ekitike (despite the goal) look off the PL pace. We’ll smash these at SJP.

Konate looks shite. Very Boumsong-like.

We’ve definitely improved overall quality and squad depth but I’m going to go all ‘emperor's new clothes’ here and say every player is probably a tier below what I thought we’d be doing this window.
