The state of that Mendy foul on Joelinton 😂

Disappointed if the first port of call isn’t the Garter at that time.

Confusing him with David Moyes.

Loads of work Xmas do’s on marra.

Some would say a tout’s dream…

No, other than if the ticket is already downloaded to another wallet (but it can be deleted from that wallet and then distributed to whoever).

Listening to Eddie’s presser today, I think he’s going to be getting more minutes sooner rather later. I know Eddie always speaks ultra-positively about all our players, but it felt like he was going a bit further, name-checked him a couple of times when the question wasn’t directly about him etc.

They want him for numbers in training. I have no idea why having 5 keepers as opposed to 4 is particularly beneficial in a training sense, but they seem to feel it is.

78 v 58 isn’t really a battle for the ages.

Is his release clause active in January? I seem to remember it being slightly convoluted in the summer, and was only active to a certain date?

The first part of that sentence is subjective, and whilst I may disagree, I’ll respect a different opinion. Second part of the sentence is absolute bollocks.

But you’re saying if we’d just sacked Gillespie off that would have sorted our keeper problems. Any reasonable/good PL-level back up keeper will be on a minimum of 30k a week, and if you were able to get them for free/minimal amount, it would even more. Dubravka might have gone significantly downhill (we’re about to find out again it seems…) but the notion that virtually anyone is better is far-fetched to say the least.

An upgrade on Dubravka for £15k a week? Best of luck with that.

Longstaff has already had his triggered, although Hope says that’s so we can sell him.

The fact that Dubravka’s been the keeper on the bench all season tells you it’s 100% going to be him.

Our issue seems to be going behind and having to chase, especially in the second half of games. We’ve created enough chances earlier on in games (Palace aside).

Yep, Hope says we’ve triggered the extension.

Not sure why you’re determined to compare football to the real world?

It’s from Hope’s latest article.

Ndidi definitely out. With Soumare suspended we’ve got to be exploiting that.

You’re going to be disappointed…

£200k p/w. No wonder they’re desperate to get shot of him.

Playing, or attempting to play, with a hamstring ’niggle’ only ends up one way.

For who? Even if a new signing were to come in and no one were to leave, I’d rather be removing one of the FIVE keepers, in the (admittedly ever decreasing) chance of him being available at some point before the end of the season.
