Are Sky so desperate for ratings that they have to drag this draw out until after 11?

Krafth just seamlessly slotting in at centre half after a year out and looking like Maldini ffs I’m never second guessing Eddie Howe again

Eddie Howe making it his personal mission to get Erik the Fraud sacked has been the highlight of his time here tbh

Fucking hell. These are absolutely ready for this baldy nonce to be sacked. The lads aren’t the bench aren’t even warming up ffs

That’s definitely a line-up.

What we have today is largely a result of instant access to the history of pop music, warts and all. So you’re getting a lot of bands who are smashing together a load of disparate influences and, in most cases, coming out with something less than the sum of its parts. That’s not in the mainstream obviously, that’s recovered slightly from the 2010s nadir but it’s still 98% dogshit

We get linked to one of these every window and they inevitably join Chelsea’s loan army

Absolutely loads of things age well Fish, please do not try and justify your love of skin-deep American comedy again

This has a penalty shoot out written all over it, I think

Erik the Fraud will run along back to Ajax in due course

Absolutely no chance I’m having us losing to a team with Jonny Evans in it

That’s a soft penalty but fuck Man United so I don’t care

Must admit, I found the reluctance to make subs strange especially when Targett looked pretty composed in attack on Wednesday night but I assume Howe is going to make wholesale changes for the cup again, against a Man Utd team he expects to do the same. He probably thought it was best to keep the full experienced unit on to help us see the game out? Both Livramento and Hall will get their moments but I do think it’s probably worth looking at some short term players, especially in central midfield. Phillips will be massively overpriced but there’ll be plenty of value abroad. Saying that, I do think we take a long-term approach to things and Howe will bank on the fitness of the squad to get us through to another international break and won’t sweat the odd dropped point here and there. With some good fortune, after January, we’ll have just about everybody back and firing into good form ala last season

Behave yourself

Wouldn’t say we were lucky since I think we’ve done alright even if we do look leggy in defence. Plenty grass cutters from Wolves but if Trippier comes out with a better second half, we could get a third within ten minutes

Did Pope forget he could use his head there? Very entertaining game even if we look knackered and they don’t have a lot of quality.

Tbf to Ronaldo, he’s also spent a lot of money to keep his face in good condition as well

Go North East are on a potential 12 week strike as of tomorrow due to the company being a pack of cunts. Fucking fair play to them, it must be a misery of a job if they’re willing to go a potential unpaid 3 months ahead of Christmas

I’ll take a tight 1-0 and no more injuries tbh

It says “no weapons” which is a very classy way to go about it, you see

Thought this was a bit of a come down after the ridiculous highs of previous weeks but even then, we were massively unlucky not to score in the second half. They’ve been the best side we’ve played so far tbf to them, no idea what the Dortmund fans are thinking if they think they’re shite Losing Isak early doors seemed to throw us off a bit so let’s hope he’s ok but Wilson struggled a bit against their centre halves who were tremendous. Albeit they got away with some dodgy tackles by a ref who seemed desperate to show who was gaffer in a game that really didn’t justify it. Especially when he was misjudging blatant fouls as dives or slips. Group is wide open now but a Milan loss next time out and a result for us puts us right where we need to be

Didn’t he love Goodfellas? Not as much as Spender obviously but I’m sure he had a few exceptions.

The recency bias for click bait is strong with the papers these days, like. I’d say Mourinho had a pretty fucking immediate impact at Chelsea when he first got there for one

Into these

Glad Stevie is on the mend and looking forwards. Even if his absolute hatred of anything vaguely American was equal parts exasperating and admirable
