Very easy to force change - if all the clubs agree to pass the penalty to the opposition keeper instead of taking a shot, the PL would act within a week.

We literally don’t do anything well under SB, nothing. We don’t move well, can’t attack for shit, can’t defend, we’re not dangerous at set pieces, can’t mark, can’t press as a unit, we’re badly organised and tactically inept. I honestly think we might fair better without a manager!

Pretty sure Almiron hasn’t controlled the ball a single time yet. Just keeps bouncing off him!

Why would you play 5 at the back when you don’t have 3 fit CBs?! Surely you play the formation that suits the best players you have available to you. Or is that too obvious?

Personally, I love signings like this. Zero risk and nothing known about him but there’s just that small chance he could turn out to be brilliant. Far more exciting than signing already established players!

That's got to be a miss-print though, surely?! He's not going to spend 60% of his wages on a mansion. And what the hell kind of place does £40k per month get you anyway?!

Where has this Ashley asked for more money line come from?

Great story Michael!

Good things like that don't happen to us.

His fault clearly, but it’s not just one mistake is it - he looks a shadow of the player he has been, in every capacity. He’s been sat on the bench most of the season and then played in an unfamiliar midfield role 2 games in a row where he didn’t exactly excel. Then he’s put into a back 4 against a high-pressing Spurs team. Bruce sees him every day and should know his strengths and weaknesses. Maybe Rafa’s attention to detail has given me unrealistic expectations of what a manager should be/do. ??‍♂️

What the fuck has Bruce done to this lad?! He’s gone from being one of the classiest CBs in the Premier League to an error-prone liability. Poor bastard!

I can't see Saudi Arabia going to the effort of cleaning up the piracy thing off the back of a 'maybe'. Why bother? It's £300m which is a drop in the ocean for them. The only reason I can see them doing it is that they're promised to do it as part of an already signed agreement.

It’s frustrating because he was class against Bournemouth and it felt like he might’ve turned a corner but he was noticeably stand-out wank today! No one covered themselves in glory but to be the shittest player in that pitiful performance is just embarrassing!

Just literally winced at a Sky Sports News presenter saying ‘Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United’. Took me by surprise a bit! He’s been here what, a year? My brain still can’t process it.

That’s fucking hilarious!! ?? Breaking records all over the shop. Brilliant & fantastic!!

BRILLIANT and FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

You ok pal? Feeling a bit dizzy?

Apparently we’ve been brilliant and fantastic this season! Who knew?! Fucking paid thousands to talk shite!

Bruce will sort him out - he’s better than Rafa!

Is there a version of this where I can get the pitch noise but no fucking commentators? Professional shit-talkers!

They’re all playing like they’re pissed!

Wouldn’t it make more sense to start Miro? If he’s trying to help Joelinton gain confidence, starting him up top on his own against City, when he’s going to have 10 touches if he’s lucky is likely to do more damage than good. He’s throwing the game anyway, might as well play someone he clearly doesn’t give a shit about up front

What the fuck is that?!

Whoever the presenter is just asked Alan Smith if the Bournemouth fullback should have backup against that run of ASM’s. They’re literally looking at the screen of two players backing him up and ASM skinning them all ? Thick as pigs hit!
