This is the key. There should be zero chance of him starting this game unless all other options are injured (except Dummett of course).

If he's on the reported 80k I'd offer him 100 and perhaps another 20 in performance related add ons. He won't be offered that anywhere else unless he sees out his contract and goes on a free.

He wants parity with Bruno, which is £160k a week, about double his current wage. Whether or not he's worth that is a matter of opinion. If we were to sell him in the summer we'd pretty much get what we paid for him.

1-1

Yes, but it's almost certain the winner of that will be one of the top six anyway. Looks like ultimately the Tonali fiasco may be the deciding factor in missing out on europe.

But you've missed the point though. Nine times out of ten when you realise you're not going to make it you're not going to get back into position in time either.

I couldn't catch a cold as a keeper but still know the first rule of keeping is if you come for the ball you don't change your mind half way through.

Could he have done better for the first two goals today or am I being a twat?

I think 6th is the very best we can hope for now, but 7th-8th is looking likely. I wouldn't mind being in the conference league, but use it as a run out for fringe players unless we get to the quarter finals or beyond.

So is this right regarding european spots: If England gets the extra CL spot and Liverpool win the LC: 1st-5th get CL, 6-7th EL, 8th ECL If England gets the extra CL spot and Chelsea win the LC: 1st-5th get CL, 6th EL, 7th ECL If England does not get the extra CL spot and Liverpool win the LC: 1st-4th get CL, 5-6th EL, 7th ECL If England does not get the extra CL spot and Chelsea win the LC: 1st-4th get CL, 5th get EL, 6th ECL All the above assuming Chelsea do not finish in the top 8 of course.

Light grey like 99% of the planet atm.

Burn will take the Dummett role when he gets booted at the end of the season. No reason at all for him to be starting ahead of Tino now unless due to injury.

Unless he dyed his hair and lost a couple of inches in height at half time.

Leicester 89/90 anyone?

Four

He's still got two years left at the end of this season

Christ he fell off a cliff after leaving us, three goals in 40 odd games for Stoke.

He should be in the 25 for the rest of the season, taking Joelintons spot. As has been said he would be a useful option to help close a game out with 10-15 mins to go.

I know bringing him back from his loan would never happen as he fell out with Howe, but he would've been useful to bring on from the bench now.

I bet he still tries to get on the bus for child fare.

Is that the 66 WC final commentator on the 87/88 game? Quite a comedown if it is

Phil Browns lovechild.

Sign Paul Kitson tomorrow

I see your point, but I was reffering to over a season. Pardews worst record is 2 wins, and I think we will beat that but as things stand it's certainly Pardew-esque.
