Winning the UEFA Cup or Conference League would comfortably bring in the same money as the CL stage. And a trophy, plus both competitions have some fantastic big teams and historic clubs from all over Europe. I bastard love European football

Has more bookings than any other PL player this season …

Grown men have better engines; Miley is still a kid. He’s still got a lot of growing to do until he’ll be able to keep up.

It is, though I don’t think that Conference League qualification would be a booby prize

Thought he was superb tonight until he tired - understandable given that he was constantly bursting from midfield. Sometimes he was playing inside forward.

Best game in yonks for me. Miley in particular but also Longstaff pushing forward allowed him to play the holding role properly. He was just pinging it about. No booking either

Christ, they continue to manufacture a rivalry with zero history before 2009

Masterclass from Howe tonight. Fixed the Bailey issue by going five at the back - it was more experience than what was happening in front of me that made me a bit nervous after that

‘Ah’ll fukkin chin his hamstring if it fukkin isn’t’

Six-goal swing in our favour vs Brighton, too

Villa tannoy cunt drowning out the away end

YES! So sweet that. Happiest I’ve been after a game in yonks. Great performance from players and staff.

Good lad Zaniolo run that clock down, you daft grass

I got them mixed up a couple of times

Dubravka makes me anxious on corners mind

+9

Fuck how does Longstaff not bury that?

Oof that was naughty on Trippier. How the fuck did the linesman not flag?

WTF happened with our FK?

I’m guessing +7 mins IT?

At last

Christ almighty. Change it Howe

Good save Dubravka, Bailey is going to be a pain in the arse here. BDB has been excellent but wonder if Tinp needs to come on?

Edit - wrong thread

We don’t want to be losing Isak. We need more forward options and for any underlying medical issues to be dealt with or managed as best as possible. No doubt in my mind that it’ll be dealt with in the summer
