The rivalry lasts 90 mins. Sometimes more if it's a cup game.

We offered 35mil for Botmn but paid 15mil for Burn. We offered 25mil for a LB and got Targett on loan. We supposedly offered 60 mil for Cannibaga and got Bruno for 40.

Almiron vs Palace. No question.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about "challenging" those places. That would seem like a drop from actually playing in the CL with Lyon, so his project is in line with our own. Just the way I read it.

But we don't know what project was sold. From watching Bruno, on and off the pitch, I think he's more excited by his role in the project. We'll build a team around him and he'll be central to our progress. I reckon if we're challenging for European qualification he'll be content, even if we fall short at the last. He seems the kind of character that would be inspired to improve upon that.

Almiron and Trippier could be very effective next season. He's linked up well with Krafth, and the addition of Trippier's skills will make that side a lot more productive.

Clear your diary then.

Such scenes. Not gonna lie, I got a tear in my eye. The spirit running through the club right now is something to behold. Long may it continue.

At first I thought "none of our players have a top-knot.

Keep. There are 7-9 players who can leave in the summer and that's plenty of space for the incoming.

Aye. The fitness levels tonight were unreal, considering where we were.

Because he plays football.

Nah, his decisions were spot on for most of tonight. Barely put a foot wrong. A little eager on an early cross but otherwise looked a valued team member going forward.

Beautiful.

Had a great first half.

Always liked Tony Cunningham. Can't remember why but I took an instant shine to him. Don't remember him pulling up any trees. I think I just liked the fact that it was a big fuck off to the NF lot.

I'm reluctant to pass judgment on Cornet until I've seen the raspberry ripples on his lass.

Good for him. I atually think he could be the destroyer next season while a young prospect settles in. Especially if we were to spend our wad on Bruno's mate. The three of them in the middle would all work for each other. Joelinton is quality at winning the aerial duals and Bruno can mop up on the ground. Cannibaga also works hard [from what I've seen] despite being an attacking midfielder

I might be wrong but I get a feeling that it's perfect for creating a wall of noise due to everybody singing slightly out of time with each other. Most songs are obviously like this but the way the rhythm increases kind of adds to the effect.

I was under the impression that owners cannot just make sudden cash injections. Could this not be a way of bypassing that?

Does it help them spend that money without FFP coming into effect?

That star has five points. The same number we had when Howe joined.

Aye. Like squad building isn't part of the manager's job. In reality Howe has done better than Frank, because Frank got Erikssen for nowt.

we can replace like for like with a bit of profit from the sale of Lascelles.

Keep him as first choice but buy somebody who is ready to step up. Give them a season as understudy with a nailed on guarantee of game time next season and we'll be set for the year after.
