they got the fat pig in now and can't afford them both. they can't justify the sort of wedge he's on these days

Great that Big Joe has agreed a new deal. It's imperative we keep Bruno too. He's our most important player. Just give him the captain's armband. The way he has managed to control himself these past few games to avoid picking up the final yellow card that would result in a two game suspension has been unreal - particularly as his performance levels haven't dropped. He loves it here. Make him captain - let him be the one to lift the firs trophy. (watch him pick up a booking against Spurs now for a reckless tackle or mouthing off to the ref now)

I know they mean well but can anyone explain how the leader of the UK opposition party can stop Netanyahu’s assault on Gaza?

i was surprised to learn he was still alive when he was announced as our manager and that was more than a decade ago

i remember thinking that when news broke that he was going to be our new manager RIP Joe. Heard he struggled with bad dementia in his later years which, as most of us have probably experienced, can be a brutal

it felt that way walking out of the ground but less so after watching the highlights and Howe’s interview back. We couldn’t see Howe bollocking the players from the away end but there was one moment during the first half when he was caught on camera talking at the players where he definitely looked angry. however I do think the idea was to stay in the game and keep Anderson and Barnes on the bench to freshen things up. The bench is so important the way the game is played now with five subs and I think going forwards some of our better players will be kept back for the 60 minute mark so we’re not left like we were against Everton with only willock to bring on and the rest all blowing.

As awful as we were and as risky as it was i think it was part of the strategy. We were barely running at times in tne first half let alone pressing. the plan seemed to be to let them have the ball and fall back into shape. i think Howe told them to conserve energy so we could have a go in the final third of the game instead of running out of steam on 60-70 minutes with nothing on the bench to freshen it up, like usual. Unconvincing but it worked. Murphy, Longstaff, willock and Krafth were all awful. Neither longstaff nor Willock look fit to me. Murphy just had one of those days where everything be touched turned to shite Krafth reminding us how good trippier and Livramento are. I lost count of how many times he ambled forwards with acres of space ahead of him only to check back and pass it sideways. Game of two halves. Bruno dragged us over the line. Schar and Burn looked good too. Did that finish by Longstaff at the end look as bad on the telly as it did in the ground?
