If we could get our £25m back on him in the summer, he'd be a good signing (on paper) for a newly promoted team.

See Howe saying Joelinton went to Barcelona last week for an injection in his knee. I wonder if we'll be breaking the emergency glass next weekend if things don't go our way today.

I think that might be someone else's joke from last time it was posted btw, so apols if it was someone on here.

There was something in the Guardian yesterday, a headline saying Starmer was bigging up "much closer ties", but what he calls that and what we would call it are usually miles apart, so we'll see.

Aye Trippier (calf) and Willock (thigh) both injured - not serious ones. Definitely some tactical changes there though, so maybe he would have done this anyway.

Hope against hope that this is a prelude to some sort of much improved deal with the EU but probably not.

Not ideal to be having to make unwanted changes, given the importance of the match.

Botman and Gordon in for Trippier and Willock.

Wolverhampton Space Invaders.

There's zero chance that this Labour government will introduce climate change into the curriculum, if that's what that teacher is on about. It would be like a red rag to a bull with the right wing press, and they haven't got the balls for. It.

It was worth it just for "let's facking give it to em"

Definitely twists and turns still to come this season. Man City definitely weren't dropping any more points until they couldn't beat fucking Southampton yesterday. Lose or draw today and it definitely gets harder, but it's not over by any stretch because results like Man City yesterday can happen.

Arsenal's form. If Liverpool bother their arses tomorrow, it could be 5 games without a win.

I'm not remotely arsed about Villa btw. I'd like to see them drop points, but if we let these finish ahead of us, we'll have completely fucked it. We might even be 7th if that happens. Forest and Chelsea are the concern.

Fucking Bournemouth.

The NUST are the Handforth Parish Council bloke. "Read the standing orders. Read them and understand them!"

This Bournemouth lad and the physio...

Fulham are absolute knackers though. Those lads couldn't give a fuck once they get to around mid table. I bet they've got a shite bonus structure for the players and it's just not worth their bother.

Do they get a vote on a choice of badges at the end, or just an offering of views in the early stages? I'm pretty sure they'll come up with something that's fine either way. I can't imagine being violently opposed to a badge.

Same. Absolutely convinced it would cause a goal. I gather Marmoush hit the bar in the last minute. Any of us checks the score, and that bounces down and in.

Great lads Southampton.

She's unreal, his lass.

Only if they want it on the side of a pig though.
