Perez under a coach like Howe would have been extremely good. He was a quality player who never reached a consistently high level. All the parts were there

Trippier must be first in line now, will enjoy watching our games more with him in the side

I’d level that mostly at the goalkeeper. Sarr didn’t need to get so close as that and it would have made more sense to run wider. It’s a freak own goal but pretty stupid of the goalkeeper to just slam it in the direction of the player running into space

Have a whip round, I’m sure Shola has deep pockets after robbing a living from the club

Benitez lowered his expectations for the club? He was the only manager other than Keegan who genuinely pushed against Ashley and saw that the club could be so much more than what it was. Pardew talked us down at every opportunity and would have been delighted finishing seventeenth season on season

Why? Because he was an absolute buffoon and so incredibly out of his depth?

I think McClaren was a very poor manager but I dislike him a lot less than Pardew, Bruce, Souness, Carver, Kinnear and Allardyce as he seems like a decent bloke and he’s quite amusing. The others listed above have huge egos, were awful and are all dickheads of the highest order

I forget that this lad plays for us, do we think we’ll try and sell him in January now that we have Isak? If we want to recoup even the smallest fee it feels like we’ll have to sell in January or the summer but the only buyers I can imagine are in the championship and not able to match wages. Therefore I imagine the most likely scenario is that he runs his contract all the way through and picks up a few minutes here and there and gets maybe 60 mins in some cup games

Could see that going horribly wrong quickly. Watched a few Watford games this season as I wanted to watch Pedro. They have one of the best squads in the championship and certainly the best attacking talent and they looked pretty poor from an organisational and coaching perspective.

Absolute insanity what’s gone on there. Does anyone have the stats on how much Cooper has changed the starting 11? They look like a bunch of strangers on the pitch

Fuck me, our record at Anfield is disgusting. Can’t wait to start going to places like Old Trafford and Anfield and get results

Grew up round the corner from my grandparents. He’s someone you barely ever hear about these days

I mean, it’s hard to have much of a stance on it until the findings come out. It would surprise me if Henderson said something racist as he’s always come across as a decent lad but clearly something was said and it was either really abusive and potentially racist or there’s been a misunderstanding

Aye, not many managers show class when it doesn’t go their way. Mourinho went from loveable rogue to miserable wretch. Ancelotti always had huge class to be honest. Klopp is snide fucker like, clearly has an enormous ego

Betrayed? Did it turn out he didn't get to pick the team after all? What an absolute rectangle, should have just left for Real Madrid, only got himself to blame

It's baffling how little responsibility Gerrard takes for his side's failings. They have bags of young talent coming through, it's not like the players are lacking. With the right manager they'd be finishing 9th-12th I imagine. He's a monumental wanker

Abject game of football. Would be gutted if I supported either of those teams

Ramsey has been a right little bitch all game

McGinn

Forest’s ball retention is absurdly bad for a premier league team. They shit themselves and turn the ball over so often before even looking for a proper pass

Aye, I game where I could care less who wins but hope it’s a good watch and that Gerrard makes a fool of himself at some point

Fuck off Real Madrid

Awful news for him especially but also for Brighton, so unfair when he’s only at the start of his career really

It’s the same thing as people loving free speech hating people using free speech in certain contexts. There’s a pretty simple rule in life that 95% of people in the world can follow: The people telling you what to do who are rich as fuck, are complete cunts who are only interested in their own gains

Wow, from 5th to 22nd for a team that is the absolute archetype of a yo-yo club. You’re absolutely shit Bruce, now get out the game
