Not sure how you've come to the conclusion that he's far better than Ritchie like. Like what I've seen so far though. Very good, especially as a sub, at this level. Aye, Ritchie had a good season in the Premiership last year where as Atsu couldn't get a game for Bournemouth. They're in the same team again and it's a similar story, despite the grumbles about Ritchie. Atsu seems to fluctuate between looking unplayable and anonymous. I do like him as another option though.

Wasn't it agreed that you can wear it on an armband?

I disagree that they have a lot of filler like, no more than you could say we have with Gouffran and Dummett - ie players who are more than good enough at this level but hardly the reason we're doing so well, although they contribute to it. I'm not saying they have a better starting XI in any case. They have a really strong side and it can definitely be argued they shade it player for player, although being biased I'd disagree. In terms of the whole squads combined I don't think it's close however.

Never seen Solly March like, but Stockdale, Dunk, Bong, Stephens/Kayal, Knockheart are all probably better than some players we have playing regularly in their positions (Darlow, Lascelles, Dummett, Hayden/Colback, Gouffran). You can make a case for others like Bruno (who they seem to love). Some people seem to think they've fluked ~90 points last year and 48 so far this year though.

Did yous even read what I said you creeps? "player for player you can argue they shade it" If yous believe our first XI on paper is unquestionably better than Brighton's yous are deluded like, they've got an excellent side. Their defence is a lot stronger and their midfield is also great, a lot of their players would walk into our side, hypothetically.

It's a disgrace Ranieri was given the Coach of the Year award last night ahead of Nigel Pearson.

I don't really understand the logic like. So Steve McClaren cannot take any credit for taking Derby from 20th to 7th?

We have a stronger squad than Brighton (although the first XI is close, player for player you can argue they shade it) and it showed with the ease of that winstreak - only really Preston massively troubled us. We're only 1 point ahead but that includes our hilariously bad start to the season and the single worst refereeing performance I've ever seen.

Thought Hull looked shite personally. Think the conditions were more of a factor than their defending. From like Palace onwards though most teams are far far stronger than ours, Burnley, Boro, Watford and Bournemouth not by much like.

are they doing it because they think it sounds cool?

Errr, you wanted him dropped instead of Gouffran. The bloke in your avatar knew best though and he assisted the first goal. Sell him.

We were having such a fun and happy time too.

Kodjia's canny like.

It's disgusting, like. I want him to do well in management but I don't want these weird cunts benefiting from it. Hopefully he's hounded out early on and ends up winning the Champions League with Barnet.

Reads like it was written by Stifler.

Baffles me how anyone can think Murphy is a pointless signing like. Gayle gets injured and we had Mitrovic and Perez, one of them who isn't even a natural striker.

Where thr fuck were these cunts when he was destroying out club like?

Fucking hell EDIT: that decision.

Jammy cunts.

1st goal. Ritchie set up with a lush left footed, quick first time ball from that bloke who cannot see a pass until he has it at his feet. Great finish by Gayle

Fucking definitely Didn't even need to check names to see it was you two miserable barstewards Howay man POOT, it'd be saccharine in the extreme mackem levels of making mates.

Fucking definitely

Didn't even register that there was anything unusual about it until reading this There ye gan, more proof. Eh? I'm not saying you're lying, I thought it was BBC Radio Newcastle playing it until I read your post. Unless you just quoted me but were making a general point?

Anyway it sounded like Burton, in a huge game for them, played very well and made us work for that.
