Kid Dynamite

The Americans are getting on my tits. Hundreds of celebs who know fuck all about football getting Miami tickets and waxing lyrical about the "GOAT" after a 10yd pass

Or try and pull a Mutu and sue him for breach of contract

West Ham aside, we should be aiming for back to back wins in these

I know you've made your mind up that this is DEFINITELY the reason that his form has dropped. But do you realise it might be bugger all to do with that? He's playing in a different midfield now. And he was carrying an injury last season

"Stop focusing on your kid, dickhead!"

Mackem-esque behaviour here mind. Hero worshipped last season. 3 average games and the knives are out already

I've brought my bairn into the office before, aye. Not that's got owt to do with anything. Bruno is a bit off form at the minute, but jumping to conclusions that it's entirely down to him being a new dad is 2+2=76 man

Aye, this conspiracy theory about his kid has got a bit out of hand

Miggy's replacement taking the piss in Holland

I think it was Alex who said we had outgrown Targett quicker than expected. He did well for 6 months after we signed him and was better than what we had under Bruce. But we went into warp speed last season and you can tell he's now clearly a step below Trippier, Botman etc. Dummet wants to thank his lucky stars he's come through the academy and counts towards the homegrown quota or he would have been on loan at Rotherham this season

The quality is awful. Proper stretchy fabric, £5 market stall stuff. Compared to our older adidas and puma kits, there's no comparison. And thats before we even get to them forgetting to put badges/sponsors on kits, taking 3 months for delivery etc. The faster we are shot of them, the better

Also, Burn and Lascelles as starting CBs is the stuff of nightmares. Let's hope Schar hasn't done his hammy and that Botman is back soon

Adidas bloke on the documentary saying when designing the new shirt he was inspired by 3 thick stripes down the front (or words to that effect) 😢 Just remake the 95/96 home and away shirts man!

Interesting insight on the documentary about our transfer planning. Obviously open to interpretation, but it looks like - Burn is considered a CB in the long run by the club. - Dummet and Ritchie were always going to stay - We were after a 6/back up for Bruno, rather than someone to play alongside him - Anderson greyed out suggests the plan was for him to be on the fringes - We hadn't planned on buying any wingers until ASM went - We wanted a 3rd striker (low priority) - Given Barnes was a direct replacement for ASM, we bought one player less than planned (RCB) You wonder whether Tonali wasn't really the type of MF we were after, but when he became available we felt he was too good to turn down. It's early days, but trying to shoe horn him and Bruno in together seems to be upsetting the team balance atm. I'd be tempted to give Longy a run of games. We looked light in midfield when he was injured at the back end of last season. And without Willock's work rate we are getting overrun far too often in midfield.

Maddison looking pretty impressive for Spurs on MOTD

I thought Isak was one of our better players today. Created a few chances but no one anticipated them. Wilson looked sharp too.

WTAF. All came from another shit pass

It's not working. Players having to dribble past 4 players to try and make a pass because no-one is moving into space. Howay Eddie man. Change it up

Behave man. He was one of the best keepers in the league last season

Eddie needs to shake it up 2nd half. We've been hopeless going forwards for the 3rd game in a row. Madness to pick the same midfield/front 6 over and over again

Has their keeper made a save yet?

Burn having a crap game so far

Ugh. Brighton the better team so far

Remember when we crowded their keeper last season and he didn't have a clue what to do

Botman aside, this is the same team for 3 games in a row. And we've lost 2 of them. If we lose today the lads on the bench can be forgiven for knocking on the bosses door and asking why they aren't being given a chance
