Yeah, the challenge itself was an unlucky red in that a split second difference and there’s no contact but you can’t come down on someone’s ankle like that and expect to stay on the pitch. Nothing dirty about it, I do think that Bruno’s only weakness is keeping a level head. I hope other teams don’t target him for it

I think they’ll come out hard for the first fifteen, think it’s their only chance to try and throw us off. They can’t afford to let us dictate otherwise the game’s over for them

Reckon we’ll save it for after, sometime this week

Walker-Peters was their best player in the first leg. Keep him quiet and don’t allow them to get any free kicks for Ward-Prowse and let the Brazilian boys hound them all game long. Willock is going to be eager to have a quality game with Gordon having arrived. 2-0 win

Yeah, he’s still too good for a championship club. Last season his commitment, running and crossing caused other teams a lot of problems. He’s a tenacious player and could still be playing in the premier league for a bottom half club for a good few years yet if his body doesn’t fall apart

Wait, is Dummett out of contract then? I thought we’d extended it but maybe it was just until this summer. Really hope it’s only until then as he’s essentially broken glass

I see everyone’s chilled out in here

It’s a loss to not have Shelvey with no replacement but there’s easily enough cover for Fraser

Probably on balance a very sensible move but we need to be really active in making changes if we don’t score / control the game

Multiple clubs eh? Time for Chelsea to stake their claim to one of Scotland’s greatest exports, a £65m bid might see this one over the line

Think my order of wanting clubs to miss out on Top 4 / finish lowest is: Chelsea Spurs Liverpool Man U Normally Man U would be near the top but Chelsea are vile, Spurs would be the spawniest fucks ever and Liverpool are so awful that I’m not remotely worried about them getting there. I’ve basically accepted Man U are finishing top 4 at this point

Extremely grim

When Chelsea say so, and that’s the bottom line

I think he’d choose us but if Chelsea don’t want to sell to us then it’s not going to get done and I don’t want us giving them a ridiculous amount to get it done when they’re the ones inflating the market

I thought he’d be up for going there given he had a great experience and it’s still in London. Would imagine they’d be high up on his list

Are Chelsea against selling him to Palace? Or do they just not have the cash to make it work?

Wish I could be a fly on the wall in Dyche’s office right now

Big Jow’s scoring tonight, guaranteed

I just gave the green light to myself to check this thread again, who the fuck is John Kirby? Couldn’t even spell his name right, Birky, what a weird name. Don’t trust him

Feels like a lifetime ago that we loaned Wood out, that in itself was a huge bit of business

That video is class, super endearing. Was nice to see him talking about how he recognises that his shooting needs to improve but he’s not putting too much pressure on himself to get it right. Honestly, if he could improve his striking of the ball he could be a fantastic box to box player

Hope we can keep our heads tonight, that’s the main thing. We were really loose with the ball last week and we need to make sure we don’t do anything stupid because of how emotional the game is. As long as we can approach it like a normal game then we’ll win

Ashby certainly not, but Gordon will be competing most likely with Willock for a starting spot in a few weeks time, unless Howe changes things the formation up and gives Longstaff a rest

Hilarious how everyone is ghosting Everton. Who else could we offload to them?

I think Gordon is a great addition, Ashby fits the profile of player we need at RB, have never seen him so can’t comment on his game at all. Mainly delighted that we’ve finally managed to shift some of our players who are not going to contribute much more to the club. Hope someone can find a home for Fraser before the end of today
