"Dude"? We ok with this, guys?

neither could she

looks like a happy kid having a great time to me. like to know how the little cunt got his ticket though.

Looks like a melting tupperware tub.

Fair play. I'd rather live in Liege for a year than Luton

That's Longtime Admirer when she heard ASM was fucking off to Saudi isn't it?

Do we have a correlation between his bleached blonde hair and his performance level? I feel like he performs better with. Over to you stats guys.

I like the fully enclosed bowl, I'd imagine the crowd noise has the potential to be phenomenal. having worked with metal all me working life I tend to get a bit sick of the sight of the stuff, so I'm not too keen on the cladding. I'd have been tempted to go more rustic and gone for the cob effect and covered it in mud and straw, a bit like this...

“By very definition, the only reason for any government to seek to leave the ECHR is because it must want to pass laws which might be in breach of ECHR standards. Doesn’t that prove the very point that we cannot trust our government always to respect human rights? ” In a nutshell. I wouldn’t trust the sly bastards currently in government to run a bath, never mind the country and it’s future. Armed revolt is coming, rise up, grab a malllet, we have numbers!

Wilson- finisher? Almiron- Box crasher? Isak- Reamer? C’mon, dude, you’re not even trying.

There's at least 36 roles now, per position, and that's not taking into account low block audibles or mid-sector transgressors.

Got this and repeat and I can't breathe

Keep Schar and Wilson. Ship the rest out.

You shouldn't have left your crease prematurely, is that a gingers thing ??

Looks fucking hideous

I think it was his positioning which disappointed me mostly in the last match. He got a proper telling off from Tripps at one point there. And then (from memory because fucked if I'm going near a highlights package for the game) for the second goal the young Brighton player received the ball between the lines pretty well exactly where Bruno should've been situated (at least according to Trippier's earlier expressed opinion). It's more complicated than that, of course, but it does seem that Bruno isn't executing on his defensive responsibilities as he should be at the moment. I think there is potentially an issue here whereby Bruno thinks of himself as a more attacking player than perhaps the needs of the system are calling for and he is roaming forward when he shouldn't be. If we can assume that Howe and Tripps are aligned, then Bruno's role is to protect the back four. Perhaps Bruno has been given some license to roam about but if that is the case then it isn't working so Howe would need to revert back to being more solid. I think we've worked nicely with some fluidity in the team (Joelinton & Willock exchanging spots on the left-mid/left-wing, for example, but I don't think it's working with Tonali/Bruno interchanging between the 6/right-sided 8, perhaps because neither of them is fully enthused about the more defensive aspects of the 6 role). I dunno, I'm talking shite at this point. The Liverpool and Brighton results were hard to take. But upon reflection we're not far away really. We have a much better squad. Tonali is a proper player and will settle. Barnes has looked quality. Gordon has started the season brilliantly. Both our strikers have a few goals and look in decent form. And the youngsters have shown at their previous clubs that they have some clear potential. A few defensive blips aside, we look alright. The squad is absolutely improved and we're moving in the right direction in general. We just need to get the momentum rolling. Now that some of our hardest fixtures for the year are out of the way (excluding CL) we should be pumped up and ready to fuck in the league come the end of the international break. As an aside, I agree with PL's sentiment that Bruno deserves harsher criticism because he is an exceptionally talented footballer. I do think the idea he is distracted by becoming a parent is incredibly far-fetched, however, based upon a few seconds of footage from the pre-game the other week. If anything becoming a parent makes you more determined to do well in life not less. At least that's my experience. He'll come good. He's an amazing player and seemingly a really decent human being to boot. ❤️

BUT HAVE YOU ANSWERED HIS QUESTION??????

Everybody’s free to suggest that, I couldn’t possibly comment

Divint gan forgetting your trequartistas. Especially in the fantasista mould

All cunts tbh

Trippier - Progressor Schar - Spreader Botman - Aggressor Burn - Safety Tonali - Creator Bruno - Creator Joelinton - Box crasher Gordon- Wide Threat Isak - Roamer Almiron - Box Crasher Wilson - Finisher Barnes - Wide Threat Anderson - Unlocker Longstaff - Orchestrator

Man United have got the Box Crasher market cornered.

He also gives away a lot of free kicks which is better up the pitch.

It's not bad (at least as good as Longy's 😉), better than big Jo's but then they can always switch to Portugese.

It's a different type of pressure isn't it? The opportunities for disaster are far higher if Newcastle are dispossessed around their box, but when Joelinton is bursting through into the final 3rd, the risks aren't as high. You need someone like Bruno, who can win or receive the ball under pressure, and find a pass or move the ball up the pitch another way. Joelinton can't really do that. He can receive the ball around their box and either use his strength to hold it up for runners, or be that runner himself. That kind of play doesn't work in the defensive third.

I think that’s his plan isn’t it? A fluid midfield three that interchange positions. A bit like Willock and Joelinton did down out left side last season to good effect. The problem is it isn’t working at the moment. I would be instructing one of them (probably Bruno because he did it so well last season) to just sit in front of the back four until we start winning games again

I'm concerned that the poms have concerns that this match thread isn't in the spirit of match threads. Nah. Just fucking with ya. I care about winning.

What you stick up your arse is your business

Emlyn? I believe Tommy Smith used to call him ‘Thrush’

Wait till he wipes Declan Rice all over the Hampden turf next Tuesday* * terms and conditions apply

Wait til Billy Gilmour's balls drop and he's bringing his little scrote onto the pitchnin a Scotland babygro, feeding it Irn Bru from a Tommy Tippee. We won't be hearing any of this shit.

@Dr Gloom I said this earlier. This is why I’m giving Bruno 6 nowt and this is why I don’t criticise Miggy. I don’t do scapegoats. I’m saying his outside influences are affecting his game. And when you’re an attention seeking little-house-on-the-prairie fucknut someone not blinded by infantile fuckin fan worship will notice 👍

Is it just me or has anyone noticed that Bruno's been a bit off it lately?

You’re right am still an utter cunt at times …..but let’s face it, that’s the only thing you’re right about

If any of you bothered to look at what I’ve actually said instead of misrepresenting fuckin everything you’ll see I described him as a great player this morning. He was however completely outplayed and overshadowed by wee Billy fae Saltcoats at the weekend Go figure that one out on a spreadsheet
