i've always wanted to visit basque country but haven't got around to it yet. the food sounds unreal

late night at the taxi stand, was it?

i reckon botman starts in an unchanged side

tbh i might start going out dressed like this as standard after knocking myself out at the match on sunday

i'm just off for a gentle stroll to the bakery myself as it happens

how much? originals from that era go for £100+ on vinted

Looks like chicken man has embarrassed himself again with the Botman “scoop”

it is funny, and little surprise, that the myriad AI-generated efforts by fans look more polished.

am i the only one who twas expecting it to be even worse?

Massive blow for us and for him.

Miley and Sean both cover the same role. The right sided 8, I think the kids call it. Bruno’s current position, basically

£12m doesn’t seem much for an English player with CL experience coming into his prime years. Hopefully if two clubs are interested it will be closer to £20m. PSR means we have to sell well as well as buying well

we stayed in friedrichshain

the east side of the city is very cool for bars and restaurants - dirt cheap last time i was there too, though that was about a decade ago

That was meant to say mate, not late I’m in the two cat club too and would be devastated if this happened to one of mine

So sorry to hear this late.

Sounds like I’m in the minority here but I’d welcome the return of derby day. I’m mates with some Sunderland fans and it’ll be nice to consign the six in a row nonsense to history. If they are lucky enough to be promoted, they’re going to struggle just as much as the recently promoted teams. The gulf between the championship and PL has never been bigger because of PSR. Only Forest in recent years have managed it and they only did it by flirting with relegation after a points deduction. Bring it on. It’s unlikely to end well for them, whatever happens

that’s not entirely fair. The question was if we do finish second, do we have the second best squad? I think most of us would say we don’t and it’s an amazing season if we qualify for the CL, let alone finish second, after winning a cup. Sherwood said as much, paying tribute to the job Howe has done. It is an incredible achievement by Howe if we finish above Arsenal, Chelsea and Villa when you compare the squad quality and levels of investment in recent seasons

yeah. gooner at work said trossard will probably miss out too

sounds like they've only got two fit forwards and no CF as well as no rice. it is ON

no, and you wouldn't want anyone else taking pens. he's ice cold in those situations. but his all round game has definitely dropped off in the past 4-6 weeks though. it's just not about his goal scoring. he doesn't seem to be moving around the pitch as freely as he was in the run up to the cup final, which to me suggests fatigue or he's carrying a niggle. we also have history of continuing to start players when they're managing injuries, so it wouldn't surprise me. i have faith in the medical department since bunce has come in. we have had way fewer injury problems this season but i wonder if they have weighed up how important isak is to the team against he lack of viable options on the bench and decided to defer his rest or op till the summer.

two of those were pens though, right? not scoring is fine. There has been a noticeable drop off in his energy and mobility. Might just be fatigue but I wouldn’t be surprised if DK’s source is ITK
