Shelvey...

You would have to think it's simply a matter of waiting until they have the right man for the job lined up. As much as there will be joy simply at the removal of Bruce the key is the progression that comes with bringing in someone who can immediately improve us. Problem is, because of the Bruce lead state that we're in many prospective managers would not want to come due to the real and immediate challenge of staying up.

Certainly not in a meaningful way.

Honestly Joelinton should conserve his energy instead of bothering to win aerial duels only to immediately turn it over. Would also spare us the contrarian dolts who try to use those statistics to tell us why he's actually, despite all evidence, a good player.

Absolutely, the way he was pounding the ground, honestly get fucked. There's enough else wrong in the sport that we don't need confirmation that many of the players are dickheads.

The club would like to congratulate Steve "the professional" Bruce on his 1,000th game as a manager. We wish him the best of luck for the future.

How can a player be injured by that? He walked into our player... what a put on that is, fucking fanny, especially the rest of the team carrying on like princesses in the aftermath.

Was Son involved from an offside position there?

Great news that.

Good point.

Noone marking Moura there, our defense is an absolute shambles.

With Lascelles and Clarke in the centre we can't expect much.

We're getting the full extent of wild conjecture from the commentary box - from players looking to impress to get big contracts to only 2 or 3 of them being there in a couple of years time.

Expect Lascelles to get a different sort of phone call come January.

The pretend new manager honeymoon boost is over

And more amazing that he keeps getting played.

The amount of errant passes from Joelinton

This Tottenham strip is terrible, 6-a-side quality.

Callum Wilson is some player, massive to have him back for this. Joelinton is still Joelinton

Fucking yes!!!! What a start

Well this is honestly a very strange feeling. The enthusiasm and excitement is real even though we have the exact same players and manager as the last time I watched us play.

Well said, the problem is that elements of the media and other supporters in general will twist it such that supporting the club is tantamount to supporting the regime. So even when it doesn't apply it's easier just to say it so that things can progress. The separation between club and owner has already been in effect here for more than 10 years, the difference now becomes that we're likely to see advancement in footballing and facilities and general professionalism under the new owners as it will be run as a business on a completely different level.

We've got to get out the requisite "I'm conflicted and don't endorse the Saudi regime" stuff before we can get back to the football.

I thought Shia was pretty good in the transformers movies despite some of his co-stars being a bit robotic.

Looks like a heavier Joelinton, which is to be fair what we've all been crying out for.
