Yeah he's sat on my bench as well, for absolute fucks sake.

I was trying to quote the stream post but it disappeared when I posted it (someone linked to an illegal stream).

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright

Didn't realise Chris Wood was a Kiwi. That's a bit exotic for Burnley.

Good spot.

Nobody with a genuine fondness for the club would say it. Funnily enough, Benitez never said owt like that despite no previous connection to the area.

Actually reckon that'll be a 442 with Hendrick on the right and Joelinton up front.

I'd criticise the lineup but wouldn't want to insult Nice Bloke Steve.

Sweat, grit and sausage rolls

Will have been feeding the players worms all week, hoping that's Dyche's secret.

Got a big future ahead of him, that lad.

Every job he's ever had the fans end up hating him so he must just assume everyone hates him, hence the relentless defensiveness. The irony being that the Sheff Wed fans didn't hate him (yet) when he decided to shithouse his way out of that club for a bit more money at NUFC.

Today it was, yeah. Edit - it's always 1.5 hours before the first game, was 1 hour last season but changed due to team leaks on Twitter.

He should have gone there when he first had the chance. Fuck knows why any young player chooses to sign for or stay at Chelsea.

Wewww gan on Ando son

I think this explains the Shelvey cupped ear to the journos in the last game. Seems like Bruce is whinging to the players that the nasty press are saying horrible things about him and them. Probably thinks he’s Sir Alex and trying to engender a siege mentality. The absolute cretin. So an 85th minute equaliser against a League Two side was meant to be vindication for Bruce after the previous (light) criticism? Not disputing what you're saying but thought it worth typing out

No chance he has the integrity to do that.

What a snowflake.

The Entertainers vs The Entertainers 0-0 (shots)

Their average age must be crazy high.

Chelsea are always in some shitty little group with 3 sides I didn't know were in the Champions League. Always lucky with domestic cup draws too. The Steve Bruce of football clubs.
