Lump in my throat watching that. So many incredible memories. I remember that Burnley home game when we were camped on the edge of our own box in the final minutes hanging on for dear life to win that game. Then fast forward to that PSG game. What a difference.

This should be good. 30 mins long apparently.

I've got sky through my virgin TV subscription. Would that still work on the sky app using my virgin log in?

Being owned by the wealthiest owner in the World, yet another owner being heavily in debt and them being allowed to spend more is just a mockery of "financial fair play" and "sustainability" It couldn't be anymore blatant about what the actual agenda is. We have an owner willing and wanting to put say 1 billion into the club, but we can't buy a couple of 50m players as it risks us going bankrupt and ceasing to exist. It's an absolute pisstake and has made my true love for football diminish. Job done for the greedy cunts I guess. Still, I can't wait until we get there, because we will, and it's going to be so sweet seeing the look on all their faces. Richard keys, Daniel Levy,Delaney. All of them.

Technically we're so so poor. Simple passes and first touch is horrific.

I'm 42. Like you I've seen my club play in 3 major finals and my Country play in 2 major finals and not seen a single trophy lifted Complete pisstake.

Poor result but my boy is still capable of smashing a result away at Chelsea, bringing them back up here then smashing them again sending them out of the cup. Before welcoming Arteta to St.James' smashing him as well, and sending him back home to his place of non-time wasting , non-back pushing and ball still in play place outside of his own technical area. Eddie knows we're shit at the moment but he'll sort it.

Maybe Lee Dixon should just fuck off as he's clearly not enjoying it. Moaning bastard. Anyway, get Watkins on FFS.

If the little shitbag Delaney is claiming this is a good thing and it will strengthen PSR () then I think we can safely say this is a huge huge positive in our favour, as whatever he says, the complete opposite usually happens.

Not officially but from little bits of info on various things I've seen over many months you can basically nail on Liverpool,Spurs,Man Utd, West Ham,C Palace,Arsenal for a start.

Oh look. What a surprise who's backing with the PL...

Season before last I think it was we were very creative with set pieces especially our corners. Always looking to catch teams out and it felt as though you never knew what trick we had up our sleeve next. Strange that all that had disappeared, with hardly any pre worked routines now and just mostly punt it in the box.

Ah yes of course, the good old "huff and puff" If you don't huff and puff enough you won't win in this game. Brucey knows that more than anyone. At the end of the day,they'll roll their sleeves up and move on to the next. (Judge him after 10 games)

Haven't read the article but does it explained why we signed up and why it was for so much money? I just cannot understand why we do it with PIF supposedly agreeing with it too?

So Hope has exclusive insider information on the thoughts and feelings of Eales,Mitchell,Howe,Staveley AND Parish. Who's his source with all that knowledge, the invisible man? Absolute bullshit article. No need for it.

After last seasons injury crisis we really really needed to add strength in positions of the squad. Loans, youngsters, older experienced stand by's..whatever. Had to improve us in case of injuries. Say Schar and Krafth get injured for a while now. Who are we playing CB? Miggy and Murphy get injured. Who's playing RW? Pissing around with £70m in our pocket waiting for a player that was never going to come is absurd. Yeah we need to strengthen the first 11 but what's the point if the squad is thin? Last season should have been a massive warning that injuries can decimate your squad fast, we seemed to be happy to take the gamble again which I would not have expected with the top professionals we have in the boardroom.

Really disappointed we haven't at least found a young understudy for RW. We did it for ST and we also should have done it for CB. There must be someone out there, 19-23, between 500k and 5 million, decent potential who can strengthen that area of the team. Norway,Belgium,Denmark,Portugal,Turkey..etc There's really no one in any of those leagues that can be a hidden gem?

That draw schedule is ridiculous. Teams in Europe have squads of 30+ players. Little minnows have squads of about 15 but they get told to shut up and turn up who ever you get drawn against. For "financial fair play" why don't the minnows get to play the European big boys at home to make themselves some much needed money. Also having a draw off screen is absolute bullshit, whatever the circumstances. Anyway, bring on the Dons.

That first half pass to Barnes inside their box when the obvious choice seemed to be Isak was outrageous vision. Always wants the ball and always look to play a killer ball. What a class act.

Forceful knock from the oppostion player

I love watching a video of something when there's A GREAT BIG RED CIRCLE right over the bit you're trying to see.

It's no different to the slightest bit of contact for a push in the back and the ref calls a foul. Everyone knows it's bullshit and the player goes down at the touch of a feather but it gets you free kicks. That's why every player does it, especially at the end of a game. Diaz went down softly of course but you can't lead with your head. I'd be saying the exact same thing if it was Schar went down and Diaz got sent off. It was stupid by Schar, really stupid. We had just won the free kick from the foul on Bruno too.

Why do people think that wasn't a red? You can't go moving your head towards a player man, contact or not, soft or not, you simply can't do it.

Smokescreen before Parish started blagging

Think this lad gets a lot of unfair stick. (Not on here as much mainly on the cesspit that has been ruined by Elon) He was fantastic when he came here on loan, and making the move permanently was a solid addition to the squad and fully justified. He's had an unlucky time with injuries but if he gets back to his form he had with us at the start then he's a real solid LB. The amount of time he stopped wingers with a dead block tackle was crazy. He may be on high wages but he was never going to accept 40/50k a week with us. And at the time we really needed to strengthen that position of the team. Seems a good bloke and even though we've improved massively as a squad since he arrived here, he's a vital part of the squad in that he's at worst a very good squad player. Someone we can use in cup games,bring on late in games to shore up the defense etc. Will also never forget his part he played in THAT Bruno goal v Leicester. Really hope he finds his form again as if so, him and Hall at LB really makes that area of the team solid.
