Gayle's back and there's no more fixtures against teams who keep the ball. We should be fine.

East is east.

Last season was just as competitive. Burnley only won promotion with 1/2 games to spare and Brighton vs Boro went head to head for the last automatic position. Last year 2nd finished on 89 points though, if that happens this year we're 100% up.

ridiculous, nothing can excuse grown men being paid grotesque amounts of money going on they way they clearly have. It's annoying how the narrative is going to be skewed to Shakespeare being the main man all along too.

It'll probably be on camera and they'll have seen it all like, doesn't really matter who did what, if they were all in a group acting in a threatening way they can be slapped with a public order offence. Whether they were drunk doesn't really matter either (I suppose it could score some points of sympathy with the judge on the day), it's still the same charge. Not sure if footballers see leniency like, but it's definitely not highly unlikely to result in a custodial sentence. It's a really serious charge.

Violent Disorder is considered pretty serious, one down from rioting iirc. I don't know the exact stats but I know it fairly often carries a custodial sentence.

Same incident (she'll be the 45 year old). It's probably fairly likely he'll see jail for that tbh.

err, it's one thing not liking him, it's another claiming he's an average Championship clogger and laughing at the suggestion of him being good enough for a league Alan Hutton spent 10 consecutive years in. EDIT: I don't want Dummett starting for us next year, although I wouldn't be surprised if he still was.

West Brom play Craig Dawson at full back, man Leicester won the league with Danny Simpson. Do you honestly think Dummett is any worse than Martin Kelly, Stephen Ward or Phil Bardsley? There seems to be some mental view that a Premiership fullback is some all-round marauding faux-winger. There's plenty of cloggers up there, Dummett will probably be one of them either with us or someone else.

An average Championship clogger that's easily good enough for the Premierhship? Fair enough. Gouffran isn't good enough for us but he would still do a job for half the sides in this league.

People are defending the players against nonesense like Dummett being a League 1 player, or suggestions we should sell Shelvey as soon as we go up. Our team is definitely one of the strongest in the league, arguably the strongest, but it's not lightyears ahead and it was basically cobbled together in 1 window - this whole season has been a bit of a rush job, which it had to be. We have clear weaknesses that should have been addressed in the summer and if it wasn't for Rafa and his apparent shite tactics then I think it's highly likely we'd be fucked.

Your words shouldn't be able to be put out of context in that situation tbf "Would you be fine with a gay man in the changing room?" "Yes."

Tbf they probably wouldn't want Rakitic in the changing room either the ugly little rodent.

But aye, thankfully Dummett will start against Birmingham as he's clearly the best left back we have.

I think the last thing I'd want us to do is play a back 4 of Gamez Mbemba Hanley Clark for absolutely no reason like.

Depends what he does off it I suppose. If Glen Whelan found the cure for cancer it'd be canny big news.

What would be so great about having a massive fanbase of cunts who despise what you are?

Probably just cannot be arsed to go through the hassle of a pregnant girlfriend.

Leeds are nowhere near as dangerous as Fulham from what I've seen like. Fulham have pace and pass the ball well; Leeds rely on a shite Kiwi up top. Thankfully our run of playing the ball hoggers is over, I don't think we match up well against them at all. Huddersfield were naive but I wouldn't want to play them again, home or away.

He's one of probably only 3 or 4 PL quality players we have in our squad. As he showed the last time we were there................oh wait. He was still one of our better players last season. He got dropped directly before our best run of form I can only remember him missing the palace game? He played against Swansea, Liverpool and spurs, no? He didn't start any of the games when we went on a good run at the end of the season. He looks a lot fitter this season than last season Didn't he have to train all summer to get back into the reckoning under Rafa? Either way, he was complete gash in the Prem and I've got serious doubts how he'll do next time around. He's only decent when he gets acres of space/time. He started first few games this season and then was dropped for a couple till his fitness was sorted. Didn't start against Fulham on the opening day did he? Played pretty much every game since then though?

He was absolutely shite last season like. He clearly couldn't be arsed and any benefit from his passing wasn't realised because our movement in the final 3rd was pretty much non-existent. Rafa wasn't even planning to start him this season going by our line-up against Fulham. Last season was by no means a fair reflection of his actual ability like but he's still going to need someone alongside him with a good engine next year.

Blatantly trying to keep himself in the limelight, he knows if he's at a TV game the cameras will pick him up.

I will when some enjoyment starts We're top of the league man

Think I'll give the Football section a rest for a while like
