You have started something now. I have instructed Alexa to play "In the summer time" and the wife is not happy.

I knew you were an ok guy. Mungo Jerry.

Not at all. You're alright. Take care.

On my third bottle.

No honestly. You're full of shit. You know nowt about football. You can tell that you mess around on Football Manager and haven't played a game in your life.

And you can fuck off also.

Eureka!

You have just confirmed that you have not been following this thread so keep out of it then.

That you are talking shite!

Yes but Eddie ...... I give up. Are you lot winding me up? Your manager is not going to come out and say "I decided to put on a 20 year old on because Maxi was shite". What he might say is "Maxi had a tight hamstring". Now do you understand?

Oh god, he's not lying, Eddie is ........ I give up.

Could we agree with "disinterested"? Because I saw a team buzzing all over and totally dominate the opposition then witnessed Maximin not even bothering. I'm telling you and everyone else that was the reason Jones went off it and why we saw Anderson on the pitch in the second half.

Will fuck off do?

Great argument you put across. How old are you?

Nobody is "piling on". I have already said that I am the first one to defend Maxi. However, his display on Friday was shocking. Yes ..... shocking.

You must be so naive. Of course Eddie would hot come out and slag him off. Eddie Howe is the utmost professional. He's not lying, he's being cute and clever. No matter your love in with Maxi, he was woeful on Friday and the suggested "hamstring" was a get out by the coaching staff.

I'm wrong then?

I remember Bruce being interviewed after the game and he was asked if the Christmas tree formation was his idea and he was totally perplexed. He eventually stumbled the words "I will let you lot make your own minds up". He was obviously clueless as to what the Christmas tree was and as always rude and snarling to the interviewer.

I thought at the time that Jones was scathing about ASM. Come half time and ASM is missing. Make your own minds up. In my opinion I thought Maxi was atrocious (and I am a fan of his). The suggested "hamstring injury" is a load of shite as far as I'm concerned.

Not quite sure what you are implying with that gif but I will stick my neck out here and predict a huge Toon win. I will be on here afterwards, I hope you are.

This always makes me chuckle. Even when it's aimed at me.

We won 2-1 last night and I should be happy. However I am still fuming about the Anderson disallowed goal. It's almost as if the officials have said "right, how do we disallow this". They took an age to scrutinise what was a perfectly executed goal and yet couldn't be bothered to glance at the shirt being dragged off Andersons back that would have led to a penalty.

Good save by you. Not what you thought earlier. (Smug face).

Well it was a foul. However Jimenez was the player that committed the foul.

Please, please watch it again. Jimenez has tried to con the ref (and has been successful with you) that he has been fouled. I used to play centre forward and probably would have done similar (cough). Jimenez has actually fouled Pope. Trust me, I have exhausted my reasonings on another thread. No pen, foul on Pope.
