Where they got that from? Did I miss something? Genuinely asking as only half watching. Looks none stop end to end?

Didn’t take it that way personally. He will. Especially if we make Europe.

His game hasn’t regressed it’s his confidence that’s regressed. It’s up to the supporters to help with that yet many seem to fail to see it that way. Like him or loathe him whilst he’s wearing our colours try to support him. If you do his form will return. If not then don’t think yourself any better than those Everton fans chasing Gordon out the club as there is less difference than you think. Sadly it seems it’s gone beyond the point of return. Next summer will tell us this.

With 3 1/2 on his contract regardless what we do as a team this season he’ll be here until summer 2026. Wouldn’t be surprised if no contact is agreed until summer signings land and show clubs intention. Then 2025/26 becomes the biggest season to show everyone else the club’s ambition as it seems to be forgotten about or marginalised that we want to become No.1. Meanwhile basic guesswork would suggest no one in Italy or Germany could afford him. Only PSG in France could afford him. I doubt Barcelona could afford him unless they cheat the system and Real Madrid have just signed Mbappe and their recent policy suggests they try to get players to run their contracts down to join them. So that leaves us with England which would drive the price even higher. Without too much pain only Man City could afford him and have re-signed Haaland for 9yrs so that move would make no for all 3 parties. Chelsea could maybe but at a push with some juggling but their project doesn’t seem to be that great with a vastly differing approach to ours. So that leaves Liverpool who could give him the platform and stabilised project but they’ve not been able to cash in on Salah as they might’ve privately hoped and not sure the figures required would fit with them as comfortable as some would assume. Then Arsenal who he’s most linked with I feel come 2026 seem like their project cycle is coming to a bit of an end with Arteta. I may be wrong. Ultimately we just need to ignore the noise as fans and look to the club to either re-sign him with an almost unreachable buyout clause or we let him run with his current contract to allow him to see the club’s intentions and show we are just as ambitious in our own way and budget and then show it on the pitch 25/26.

Was different knee so thankfully not a recurrence of previous injury. Didn’t sound serious so hopefully ok for Man City.

So basically 6 is quite realistic but 7 not really going to happen?

Thanks @jack j @frankpingel @huss9 Ive went against my natural instinct and paid for parking for safety 🅿️ 🚙 😂 Not far from Cricketers Arms and ground so both a relaxing stroll away.

For the Hey Jude haters. Proof again it’s still the best song the fans react too 🤷🏼‍♂️ https://x.com/toonmouthtyne/status/1887813958263849087?s=46&t=DDNXUN2PoOBhgKmoF77zNw

Any local parking knowledge on here? Been a few years since my last trip. My pet hate is paying for parking so bare that in mind with suggestions

Last time we played them at Wembley. Revenge for 1974 after we were struck by a sickness bug 😷

The strong rumours are the cup scheme will be categorised So first dibs will go to those that have been to all 4 home plus one away Then all 4 home Then 3 home and 1 transferred ticket Then 2 and 2 As I have said it’s only rumour but don’t be surprised…

Is it not worth selecting him in the squad next league game and come on very late and get booked? Serve his two games injured.

What!?

The way we’ve been cut through lately 5 at back probably smart for the game. Height and experience. Hopefully crowd respond to defensive play as much as they do attacking. Early signs in the ground good 🤞🏻

Thunderstruck apparently for players entry music.

I just don’t want anyone posting this is their first game in a while and yet to see us win. Cursed us twice against Bournemouth and Fulham

Thanks both for confirming 👍🏻

I read somewhere that loans are bad business sense with regards to PSR as a loan fee (hefty these days depending on the player) can’t be amortised. Is that all correct and another reason why we don’t look to short term solutions like some?
