This lot are funny as fuck man, hope they've done what they need to so they can avoid closing down. For the sake of people that might have to interact with them when they go out into the real world as well as for our amusement

If we're looking for straws to clutch he'll still be observing Ramadan - adheres to it pretty strictly IIRC, doesn't even drink water - and the sun won't set until around the end of the 90 minutes. So there's a chance he'll be a little bit off his usual level anyway. Extra time may be an issue though!

Ha - I'm up there tomorrow and the website and ticket email (although weirdly not the ticket itself) actually said/say "Safe Standing," so anyone who has bought can't plead ignorance. Might have to squeeze an extra pint in before leaving the pub so I'm fully prepared for that bullshit arising 😅

Obviously not the thread for a longer discussion about it and may have already been mentioned in the ref one, but there seems to be a trend now where the refs blow up for fouls but make a point of wanting to keep their cards in their pocket until around 60 - 70 minutes, after which they're dishing them out for everything. No doubt it's some daft "managing the game" directive from Webb but surely they must realise if they're letting fouls go unpunished other than the free kick they're going to lose control/the game looks like a farce? Possibly some mitigation where teams are clever and different people take turns fouling (see Bournemouth in Jan) but there's still nothing stopping a ref giving a card to stop that either.

Feel like this is the perfect summary 👌🏻

Not known to have been involved in a scrap or punched anyone yet this season. Needs to take a look at himself

He'll be stepping up his data gathering and doing something about Newcastle next year when we batter Villarreal in the Europa League final or give Real Madrid the PSG experience at SJP

Fucking hell even Joe Cole is on about Arsenal and Isak. Relentless these fuckers 😂

Yasir is the main man in PIF isn't he? Other than bin Salman himself signing it off there's nowhere else for it to go

Noon tomorrow until noon Thursday

Well, the pressure on my colleague who reckons he can get us 2 in our end from an EFL partner company has just increased substantially 😅

Someone needs to check he's alright, there were positive noises from him about summer transfer activity last week too

Fuck Liverpool. Fuck all of their players, most of their ex-players, fuck the staff, and fuck anyone associated with them. Fuck their bellend supporters. Fuck their whole always being on an inexorable march to glory and utopia bullshit. Fuck anyone or anything else I've forgotten. Fuck them. Cunts. (But aye, get the Vaseline out on Wednesday)

We've played miles better than we have here and lost. And how are they third in the league?! Will obviously take it. Hope we properly put these to bed now

We'll win 2 or 3 - 1 today, tight but comfortable in the end. Howay the Lads!

Aye the Nags Head and the White Lion opposite are cracking boozers 👌🏻

Man City having an option on him is still a bit of a wildcard. You'd think they'd look at more of a "sure thing" signing anyway but with Ederson and Ortega both looking ropey means we could do with having this tied up sharp

Din't forget yer curry soss and bisto to chuck ower any mags you find in the strongholds marra

I don't see us being a "we'll give him to X" operation. If we're not in Europe next year - unless due to some weird circumstances like last year - I think he's gone. No "start of the year," and rightfully so. If you don't fancy him, move on. Tough gig when hitting targets isn't enough, but that's where we are. I write words for all my clients for a living and I can't comprehend what I'd say if this guy won the lot with us, which is obviously what most of us want. (Full disclosure - I was an Eddie skeptic, I'm now all in on the bloke)

He was shit today but that's 50/50 between the tactical miscalculation and him. He has a use. A no brainer to be the PSR unlocker or the exchange offering when a club in the shit rings Get Mitchell's Badge In over the summer

This is essentially why they're where they are. Teams are so wired to playing Pep football in and out of possession that they've not got a clue what to do when they play a team like this. Hope we beat them 10-0 then they go unbeaten and win the league 😂

The point in a money game where shithousery comes in and there's a conversation about sharing the pot with the others left and choosing accordingly...
