Aye, fingers crossed for Henderson he was using the term ‘black’ to Gabriel as a way of calling him a scruff rather than a racially aggravated comment

If we get 3 points from either this, Tottenham or Chelsea it’s really going to feel like we’ve entered a completely different level. We know we’re going to be competitive, but it’s only when you get the wins that the belief really starts to come

Going to say 2-2 for this one. Think both sides will definitely score. Expecting an even match with both the result and the play. Likely to get screwed by a decision at some point though

Not good enough, dock @54s wages

Ridiculous that they stopped the game for so long there

Would be fucking weird if it isn’t true like, would be taking the piss out of footballers who are gay and are thinking about coming out

When we finish in the top four the narrative among other fans will be that we’ve bought our way to success, which is the same narrative for pretty much every single team that finishes top four, it won’t be about the fact we have an outstanding manager, have bought well, have improved every part of infrastructure in the club etc, and I honestly couldn’t give a fuck

Maybe he’s really struggled adjusting there, hard to imagine he’s started acting like a dick but maybe if he’s feeling low or irritable it’s affecting his relationships with the rest of his team

Not sure Froggy has ever played up the nice guy image, he’s always been a troll and at times a very successful one. He’s largely taken baiting about Man U pretty well though

Already picked City Saints haven’t they?

Always loved this guy’s attitude, and his pressing. He’s always given us everything and sadly his end product hasn’t matched up to his effort levels and his actual ability until this season. He’s never going to be perfect on the wing for us but Howe has fashioned him into a pretty vital part of our attacking system now. The fact that he’s starting to actually deliver with goals and assists is amazing. His link-up play with Bruno is outstanding and I think he’ll link really we’ll with Isak too. He reads the game well and his confidence is sky high now so I think we’re going to see the best of him consistently from now on. I don’t think him at his best is good enough to be a starting player for us in 12 months’ time but he will definitely always be useful to us as a squad player with his attitude, running and understanding

This is class

1-1 Bournemouth Leicester, hopefully that holds or Bournemouth get the win

Why is John Anderson so fucking miserable?

The news I needed to hear

It’s not like they’ve sent out a shit team either, I imagine they’ll turn it around in the second half but if not, will be a major confidence hit for everyone at the club after they got so excited about ETH

I’d say Maddison would have been a genuinely extraordinary signing pre-takeover as it never ever would have happened. Now, I’d say that it would be a brilliant signing but not extraordinary. If you look at the clubs he could likely move to, it’s Arsenal, Newcastle, Chelsea or Man U. It’s not Tottenham as they have Kulusevski as he’s been forced out the side, Man U have just bought Antony and have Bruno Fernandes so he’s not going there. Chelsea have more midfielders than they could ever need but you can never rule them out wanting one more. Arsenal, is Odegaard playing a similar role to Maddison there? Playmaker across attacking midfield? If so, are they going to be after him? He doesn’t have a load of options despite his talent

I don’t rate him at all and would prefer for us to sell him as soon as there’s any interest but he’s clearly a good lad and has a good attitude. Hope he ends up having a decent career, he’d be quality in the championship

“Who else could they bring in?” Has to be amongst the biggest giveaways that a pundit is either thick as shit or mates with the manager in question. There are literally hundreds of managers across so many leagues. Get out of punditry if you’re not even interested in following the game aside from picking up your easy pay packet with a bunch of platitudes

West Brom’s final ball hits the first man almost every time

Impressive stat, he needs to keep his game as simple as possible. Just run with the ball and release the easiest pass you can Jacob after you’ve managed to run 15-20 yards

“When I was at Newcastle I used to sleep in my Liverpool pyjamas every night and I’d sing myself to sleep with YNWA. I even told my wife whenever I was going for a wank that I was going for a Shankly. PLEASE LOVE ME LFC FANS!!!!!!! Xoxoxoxoxo”

Would like to see Rafa clear his name after all the shit he’s taken during and post-Everton. Not sure this is the club to do it at but if anyone can get them organised defensively it’s Rafa and he’d have most of the season to do it

He is the best they could hope for. They should do everything to get him

He did say he’d sooner quit the forum than give up making his Mexican jokes. Maybe he received an ultimatum
