I wondered if it might happen. He’s been around for a long time and worked in different structures but has clearly done some very good work. Really depends on what his overall skill set looks like. On the face of it, it doesn’t seem ambitious but none of us are in a position to judge

Genuinely believe if he stays at a club for a few years he’ll produce good results and probably put together some serious cup runs

Bit harsh on Joe Cole, the rest are rats though

Looks class, hopefully John Terry doesn’t get involved, cheers honorary son

Would be well up for a few matches of that if some big players take part

Wild West shit in those days

Battle of 1892

Don’t have Twitter any more, give me a run down son

That elbow is about as bad as it gets

Thug, season ban would be the only fair punishment

I’m excited by the prospect of a proper squad rebuild in the summer. As great as Wilson has been when he’s fully fit, I can’t think of many players less suited in terms of durability to Howe’s approach to training and pressing in matches. Who is highly likely to go in the summer? Wilson Dummett Lascelles? Miggy Ritchie? As a minimum?

That’s outstanding

The whole thing’s going to come crashing down soon enough

Honestly struggle when I think back to Keegan’s initial managerial spell. Scarred me for life how close we came

I don’t think us getting Modric would have transformed Ashley’s tenure. It was always always going to be a disaster by the end but the way everything fell apart so quickly after that transfer window really fucked us as a club for years. If we’d actually had a good window and Keegan had stayed we’d have had a very successful season

What a strange career, all the talent in the world, continually under performed for clubs while playing great for France. Seems to not give much of a fuck and then gets banned for four years

Could do with Man City being done for their 115 violations and getting thrown out of the cup. Think that’s our only way through to the Semis

Not to wade into the ASM debate too deeply as h always liked the lad a lot despite his major flaws but he’s only got 3 goals from 20 league games over there. He has got 9 assists which is way better than his stats over here but the quality of that league is a complete joke. Allan was a brilliant player to watch, a great character but he didn’t play effectively in a team and he often made the wrong decisions. Barnes invariably makes good decisions, understands how to play with others and is far more clinical. The debate about Barnes should centre on whether his signing was a priority or not, not whether he’s more effective than ASM which he clearly is

In or around? Thanks Lee. The opacity of this deal is a little frustrating but I guess there’s good reasons for that

Love a bit of Sbragia, largely because of that account on RTG. He seemed a good person though

Good man, loved the club

Can’t fault the lad in terms of his mentality. He’s over achieved really when you consider his ability. It’s all down to his brilliant attitude. Glad to see him get another good performance in for us as I’m fairly sure he’ll be off in the summer

What a shocking night of football in the draw and on the pitch

Penniless Rat isn’t going to be buying a single player from us. They’ll be in the bargain basement for their signings

Wasn’t even a good free kick, definitely doesn’t mean that
