Not having a go at Howe before the usual lot start, but we all called it in midweek, there was no need for Bruno to come on. Disappointing that Isak's work permit hasn't come through. Was expecting both in the squad when I woke up this morning. Our bench looks horrid though. Wolves have a lot more quality in midfield than we do, but that's not to say we will give them the time and space to make that quality show. Needs to be a battling performance I feel.

Michael Dawson would put anyone to sleep. So boring.

Might just go back to sleep tbh

Probably out with a broken heart.

Just seen the lowlights, Hanley and Krul were up for fucking them over today like

Watching Soccer Saturday is so shit. Someone screams "goal" then some other muppet carries on talking about nothing for 5 minutes

Just had a quick look for the hilarity of them, and they never fail to deliver. Like this gem: If Sainsburys offered you a check out job with a lot higher salary than Asda, would you accept the job? No. Never in a million years. Because my first thought would be to all my colleague friends I would leave behind. They mean as much to me as the job. Aye right

You could well be right. I thought they were offering Declan Rice £200k a week or something though so who knows. We probably didn't see value though like you say.

I wouldn't be surprised if West Ham are paying him a huge wage, meaning whether Howe would have liked him or not we were priced out.

Probably more than a couple of weeks like.

Chronicle are saying it's at 10am. We love delaying the official announcement so I wouldn't expect anything in the next few minutes really.

I was expecting this level of transfer I'm not afraid to admit, however I'd started to think we had been unable to convince a player of this calibre/profile to buy into our project. Nice to see that concern was unfounded.

Can we watch his press conference live? If so, where?

Merson is chatting shit about us again in relation to this. I won't bother with his quotes as we all know he's not worth anyones time. We still live rent free in his head.

Moyes thought he was 23. They aren't the sharpest tools in the box are they

David Moyes going full-on idiot I see. "I won't talk about him" then goes on to talk about him "23". Erm, he's 24 Dave. Hopefully he's fucked Paqueta off enough there to ensure what little chance there was of him signing for West Ham has gone out the window completely.

Needed to see a photo of him here to believe I wasn't dreaming. Get in

I'd be sad not to see Bernardo Silva in the Prem. Last weekend excepted of course.

Even John Aldridge pointing out how stupid that take is.

The cheek of this prick moaning about the referee

Yeah, fuck that.

At least we're at home.

We are if we tell him he has to stay.

Maybe a telling smile from Eddie on transfers there.

It's one thing being able to perform in a decent team. It's a whole other thing being able to lift the quality of a poor team around you. Which since January he has shown he excels at. What a player and what a leader he is.
