This is the reason nobody should ever choose captain and vice captain from the same fixture btw, was an especially useful tip during Covid.

Think it'll be open til they decide what to do about Bournemouth-Luton. If the 2 teams accepted the result then points would stand I think, although it would appear more likely it's replayed and points are wiped.

Was just about to post about this, it's worth watching for anyone who hasn't seen it - 0:24 on this vid: Pretty sure Alan Neilson cleared one for us that same season, was almost as impressive even though it was on the ground. Can't find a vid though, anyone remember the game?

I'll be pissed off with the cunt if he gets more gardening leave, always wanted gardening leave myself but some twats get all the luck.

Unless he knew about it then it's a non-factor, surely. How's he meant to have known?

Haven't watched yet but pls stop making the little bairn do interviews, man

Imagine just assuming someone was left footed and not checking. I don't think I'd do that before posting on here

Start throwing games ASAP.

Would it help you lads if I told you that none of us have any control over the team selection and Howe will pick the team that he wants to, regardless of what's said in here?

Press conference on SSN just now, said: - Joelinton and Schar don't look too bad but he's reluctant to confirm that til they see the scan results today - Botman has recovered well, they need to decide if/when he's ready to start - Trippier will be in squad for Chelsea but has a knock, need to see how he is in training - Anderson went to a specialist for a review, injury is healing slowly - Targett is on target with rehab after surgery - Had some hard League Cup draws, determined to progress and create more memories - Have a bond with competition, thinks last year has helped us with the games this year - Game on Saturday was important mentally for us to re-focus, not be too emotional about setback versus Milan - All players are popular as there is a good camaraderie but certain players lift the team and Botman is one of those - Everyone at club rates Botman as a footballer highly, he gives confidence to everyone around him on the pitch - Isak had a scan last week, groin problem only minor but they are being cautious. Has a chance for tomorrow

Uh oh.

was it, fucking hell

What are the words to the Last Christmas song?

Tarnished the whole day for me, seeing this kid.

Thought it was pretty bad from just under the away fans and I normally veer on the side of positive about these things. Nice and loud and defiant first 10 mins, (justifiably) nervous til the first goal then alright after that but a bit muted. Guess it depends where you are sat.

Four of the first choice back five!

I don't get why they're moaning, because the club are doing what they're being told to?

he's a massive gobshite.

nice thread. Higuita, Chilavert and Campos were the standout maverick keepers of the 90s. Chilavert scored over 50 goals according to wiki

Yeah it hasn't worked out well so far but we've signed 3 of them on 5 year contracts or whatever. Tino looks fantastic, Tonali and Barnes will be good signings, and we'll see with Hall. We didn't really do anything wrong in the window, it's just sod's law how the first few months have gone. As I say I'm not taking issue with anyone pointing this stuff out but when it's the same people offering the most negative perspective in every thread, it's tedious.

You are negative. In every thread. You can justify each post every time someone gets sick of it, but it doesn't change the trend.

He's just Alan Partridge, isn't he? Except not funny.

I'm glad we went for it and always want us to play that way but do feel there may have been a bit of an oversight in not considering the opposition's motivations enough. Milan had to win, they had to open up themselves sometime so perhaps we shouldn't have blinked first in that sense. Whether that was possible with the personnel and the fitness levels, no idea. I'm sure we'll learn from it, this was new to almost everyone.

It's mental. Can only assume these new posters with a grey cloud over everything respawned on to the Earth in January 2022. Tbh I'm more on about a few new posters and some of the usual suspects. You've not been that bad but you do seem frustrated aye We all are, but big picture innit. The last week or 2 has been painful but we'll get through it.
