Bloke needs to look at a route map.

I can’t believe money has ruined the once pure trade of being an ITK gobshite online

I’ve always been a fan of Brazzers.

Dubravka’s agent has said he wants to leave in the summer. Regardless of whether he stuck around or not, Pope’s injury has elevated backup GK to a must-fill position. It’s not inconceivable he suffers another dislocated shoulder next year and that’s the season completely fucked again.

The club don’t really do sentimental. They’ve been very clear about the need to trade. That said we’re not going to flip Isak anytime soon unless we get an absolutely astronomical fee. That’s one transfer that doesn’t make sense right now. I think the plan this summer will be huge clear out of the lesser first team players (Miggy, Wilson, Murphy, Longstaff, Dubs etc.), a shock departure (one of Trippier, Joelinton, Schar, Willock) and then we’ll wait on Bruno. I’m certain they’ll want to keep the spine of the team, but if we get £100m he’ll be on his bike. Wouldn’t surprise us to see us line up looking something like this next year (injuries permitting) Pope New LB - Botman - New CB - Tino Tonali - Bruno - New CM Gordon - Isak - New FW

I’d be looking up the definition of ‘next’ if I were you.

The evening Pope got injured we were three points behind City who were in second.

Jonbezcomesock iirc

Aye. Made a couple of good saves which masked the fact he flapped at virtually everything that came into the box. He played a further 7 games that season, conceding 18.

Kept goal like he’d never seen a football before.

Nothing we didn’t know. The man had more air miles than Judith Chalmers.

People checking their accas is bad enough. Think I’d have leaned over and chucked her phone onto the pitch

These aren’t new things. I remember some absolutely dreadful times during the Rafa years. Had to stop going to the matches for a period because I just argued with pricks around me who’d fuck around on their phones non-stop and only look up to tear a strip off someone for misplacing a pass.

Yep, it’s not going to get resolved without the club making themselves unpopular and shuffling people around. You only really need a couple of areas where people persistently sing to drastically improve the atmosphere.

As in daft. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it but it looked like he nearly snapped his own neck. Laughed out loud when I saw it on the replay.

It looked absolutely ridiculous man

No. Ashley gives him the same short shrift and we end up with some absolute chancer like Owen Coyle.

Probably not. Feels like the Emirates and Wembley really changed the idea of what a modern football stadium could be but they opened more than a decade after Castle Leazes was being pushed. We’d have probably got something that was modern, practical and very nice to look at but not a driver of huge commercial revenue.

Robson after Keegan is the obvious one. I think a lot of the Ashley/Man City owner stuff is bollocks. The timelines never add up. There was definitely interest from the ME that Ashley scuppered but it was from other groups after Man City had already been taken over.

So many words on there that look like archaic slurs.

Why does Bruno - one of the classiest players we’ve ever had - take a penalty like he’s never seen one before, only had them described to him?

Turned up expecting a stroll.

Likewise. Fair enough, he’s a bit of a square peg because of how threadbare the midfield has been but he’s been horrendous tonight.

Strange take, considering we’ve got Miguel Almiron.

Delighted to report she had a mint time. Massive smiles at the end when we got the winner. I get the feeling we’ll definitely be back. My first time going to see a lasses match. The entire atmosphere around the game is really refreshing. Just relentless positivity and everyone having a nice time.
