Wasn't it the other way round and Bruce told Jones to fuck off?

Gordon at the end to Tripps there: "I thought you were taking the penalty!"

Seemed to play a lot higher up at times Who's his bestie without Almiron or Joelinton around? ? Manquillo?

Looks like an absolute world beater.

think that's off

Going to be awful to lose this one because Forest really are shit.

There's no Pope error in the extended highlights either. But they keep the shot of him walking off at HT looking sheepish for some reason and cut in a bit of commentary about Wolves being frustrated due to "some of the decisions".

Really hope Palace drop

Absolute shite lol

Pope, what the fuck?

Seeing all the pace merchants end up like that is legitimately a bit sad. Same with Bellamy near the end at Liverpool

Is ASM really gonna be trusted to cover Traore?

Our future number 8 coming on

By Sky I'm just talking about the short highlight videos they upload for free to YouTube/Twitter in the evening. I imagine most people just want to see the goals/main talking points and they can do it on their own terms from their phone without having to sit through an hour of actual programming. The reason I mentioned the MOTD audience being presumably older is that they're probably people who aren't particularly online (of course there'll be some who want extended highlights or the discussion, or who just in general enjoy the tradition of MOTD, but I would expect fewer people watch since highlights became available in the UK much more quickly since 2019 or whenever it was that Sky started it).

Once Sky Sports started uploading match highlights within hours of the games finishing I thought MOTD's days were numbered. People interested in tactical analysis are probably watching dedicated YouTube/TikTok channels too, not the kind of generic stuff you get from Shearer and co. I'd be interested in seeing a demographic breakdown. Ironically I'd assume most MOTD viewers are older (i.e. the kind most likely to hate Lineker )

Just good at free kicks imo. I think he's basically a slightly better Seb Larsson

Such a vague thing to say. "Coloccini type news". fuck does that mean

Can't see us winning. 0-0 sounds about right

Is it true he's not even able to train properly anymore? Injuries probably caught up with him now. Looks shot.

Think we'll end up 7th or 8th. Does 7th get the conference league?

Three games without him sounds quite good tbf

Trippier is honestly a bit of a liability defensively

Sir Bobby themed triple sub

Held our own might be a bit much but I remember playing quite well in one of Rafa's narrow losses there. The one where Yedlin scored first

Still doesn't look like we have any forward ideas other than the switch out to Trippier and the Almiron combination stuff.
