Knowing how Howe works, I don’t think he’ll bring Botman straight back into the starting 11 either. Whether or not he should is a different matter.

Every time there’s a derby coming they sack their manager looking for a bounce ?

Aye, I hit no interest to all of those daft hospitality seats. Imagine the cost when they’re already charging, what, £600+ a pop for those new hospitality areas?

Received the email and replied. Lots of focus in the questions regarding getting people into the ground earlier if offering better bars/beer/food etc. Similarly what percentage extra would you be willing to pay for your season ticket in a renovated SJP. My only concern is we don’t get flooded with hospitality type areas as the atmosphere will be shit and people can’t afford silly money for their season tickets up here.

Is the obligation definitely based on number of appearances? Personally, I'd definitely sign him as his potential is massive. There's others in the squad who are more likely to be moved on to make room in my opinion.

Fuck me Police will be dusting off their riot gear

The march of the white trainers

I sit in the Gallowgate and the atmosphere was good in my opinion (as it always is) especially second half obviously. It did start off a bit quiet but I think that’s largely down to there not being a huge amount of positivity pre match. Crowd seemed a little on edge. After the goal it was markedly better. I don’t really know what Mehrdad’s on about. Possibly he’s meaning more in a general sense and I of course would agree with that. Thing is there’s so many tickets go to ballots and you never get the same group of people going and sitting together which has a detrimental effect on the atmosphere. If they wanted to, things could be put in place to help improve the atmosphere but that’s more on them and their ticketing system in my opinion.

At the time it felt like exactly that. I was convinced they were going to overrule it for something. The ref was awful all game and was booed off at half time. From my spot in the Gallowgate I didn't think there was anything wrong with the goal. The "push" could have been given, but the VAR officials obviously didn't think there was enough in it to award the foul. I agree with others that the defender was stooping to try and flick it back with his head and fucked up. It's just ranting and raving from their point of view on something that's entirely subjective. Embarrassing behaviour.

Christ. So fucking entitled it’s surreal.

Not too happy with the draws, it’s pretty suspect in my opinion. I certainly don’t fear em but a home draw would’ve been nice.

O’Neil frothing at the mouth about the pen decision in his post-match. I thought it was soft, but I can see why VAR didn’t overrule it.

I reckon this’ll be a back 4 of: Livramento, Lascelles, Dummett & Targett We’ve got to really, Schar and Burn have played every game.

Same. Thought it was good in the Gallowgate Upper. Definitely depends where you sit.

Yeah, we’re doing well given the start. I just wish we could have seen that Liverpool game out. I still think it’ll be a push to make top 4 given the number of games and accumulation of injuries we’re bound to pick up but this team just keeps proving people wrong!

Aye, it's not a job for a young manager like Howe, it also has the potential to ruin your career early. Southgate's got the job & is delighted to be in it as he isn't getting a better one. He's a smoggy level manager which no top half Prem club would go near.

Hopefully we sue the fucking trousers off Milan.

So we’re all just assuming the worst?

Could be good news for us. If he’s a niggle he can have a couple of weeks r&r.

He’s entitled to his opinion without people getting so upset about it, or it being even remotely considered controversial. Female pundits have not lived the same experience as the top level men when offering opinions on men’s football. The same could be said for men commenting on the women’s game.

Eddie Howe & Jason Tindell

Official Denzel ffs ??

I think this is more of an ‘internet’ thing. Most people you speak to in and about the city are perfectly realistic in expectations and very happy with how things are progressing. I read about all this negativity online but I’m not seeing it.

I think it looks great. It’ll tidy up that whole corner.
