The Prophet

It's about normalising the KSA presence in football. It's why I don't think they've particularly rocked the boat with PSR, APT, etc.

It is a strange quirk, that clubs (previously "the big six") would rather pay a ludicrous amount of money for a player, rather than take a gamble on them for peanuts when they first arrive in the league. Obviously it reduces the risk of a dud, but the much smaller outlay offsets that.

Have a word Bruno...

Aye, thought the same.

Aye, delighted it was this lot that brought it home.

He had a good game, the only thing he got slightly wrong was the ball to Isak for the Kelleher save, even then it wasn't easy and Isak nearly buried it.

There was a point at about 70 minutes where Liverpool picked up the ball, went long and it drifted out for a throw in. That's when I knew we were going to do it, they looked completely devoid of ideas.

Playing fast and loose with "reliable" there like.

Our man knew.

Feels like it's an absolute age away.

They've found a bit of form away from home and are exactly the type if team we struggle against. However, SJP should be bouncing and I'd expect the players to play with a bit less pressure and a lot more freedom. Comfortable win.

Before Villa, my perception was that he was an excellent tournament manager who'd had mixed returns in terms of league performances.

I'd rather listen to me ma getting ploughed than tune in tbh.

Miguel Delany and co released a new podcast on it this morning in which you know he'll be getting stuck into the fans as per.

The two weirdest fan bases in the country fawning over a lad who will probably sign a new contract with us in the summer is pretty funny though.

He must have been saying the same to Burn too.

It's a bit steep for me. He's had an outstanding few months in a very well coached Bournemouth outfit, but it's still early days.

A few more bits and pieces in this, if you're still gasping for more content.

A. A total unicorn of a midfielder, he can pretty much do it all.

I don't think Emery is disrespected at all, if anything I'd say the opposite.

Aye, thought it was pretty desperate that Romano was linking Isak with Liverpool about an hour after the final.
