Not excited by this prospect. We definitely need Wood for this game

Worrying

Absolutely desperate for this match to come around. Bruno MoTM performance incoming

Think this is very poor judgement from the lad, his options for other clubs are going to be poorer after sitting out the second part of the season. I imagine he's frustrated at not being part of the squad plans but he could have done with some pragmatic voices around him helping him to make the right decisions for his future

Aye, there’s no getting away from the fact it’s a cracking joke. Reminds me of that unforgettable line from The Office - “What’s the weather like up there” still in stitches at it to this day

Unless the chequebook boys make it rain

Levy’s really starting to fuck that club up good. If they don’t get champions league football they’re going to surely be in terrible shape

But Paul Merson is an angry middle aged man, who’s arrogant and doesn’t do any research or even seem to enjoy following football, that’s what the viewers are screaming out for

Fuck off Alli, hope Frank’s English lads get relegated

We're not a million miles off from making a signing like this now. Can't wait

Wouldn’t even be surprised if we didn’t end up with Lingard or Ekitike but some name that’s not got a lot of traction right now. Definitely think there’s one more surprise in store

If we don’t get Lingard then I’ll be asking Sue Gray to investigate what’s gone on here

They’ll surely be paying only a fraction of his wages. Bit of a sad end to his career

Please not Mick, got a massive soft spot for him

From those clips, he doesn’t always catch the ball that cleanly and seems to play entirely on his right foot. But I like his technical ability and he looks like he’s got good movement and is a quick thinker. For 19, there’s a lot of potential

The goal from like four yards where he dinks it over the keeper, then cuts back onto his other foot is quality

Do they though? I’d have a listen to Gabby Agbonlahor if I was you. No one wants to come here

Get in the sea mate

Really good business this, I like how we’re making pragmatic signings alongside absurdly impressive signings

Yeah, my eyes are awful, disappointed it’s not Simon Grayson now

Simon Grayson looking to stay out of work for the rest of his career, eh? Smart move I can’t read, no idea who Simon Gwynn is

Yeah, I mean it’s a spectrum, you get some abusers who are ‘good’ most of the time and then lose it at certain moments (e.g. alcohol, specific jealousy trigger) and then you get abusers who are abusive almost all the time and you get everyone in between. The thing that links them together is that they all use coercive control and a lot of the time it’s there even when they’re not being noticeably abusive

Let’s not go down this route, if you’ve not been in an abusive relationship, especially one to this magnitude (physical and potentially sexual abuse) then you’re not in a position to comment on what a victim should do. Maybe watch “Maid” on Netflix

Wrote in the wrong thread but this is an amazing piece of business and everyone involved in this transfer deserves congratulating Also, big fan of the breaking news banner

I think we have enough to stay up, but I think if we want to make our lives a lot easier we need a pacy winger / striker with good movement who can score five goals by the end of the season
