Mateta joining Haaland, Woldemade, Joao Pedro, and Watkins in the back pocket of Dan Ballard.

I know we don’t play until Monday, but it seems counter intuitive to allow players to jet off to Paraguay, Dubai etc in the run up. Surely down time could have waited until we have a free week when we are inevitably knocked out the FA cup by Oxford?

Serious question - who gets dropped for Xhaka? I know we started the season with ELF on the bench, but we can’t drop him now surely? Hume maybe with a formation rejig? Or is Xhaka droppable and goes to the bench?

I don’t even support either of these teams and I can see how bad the ref is favouring Arsenal. #CarabaoCup

Two players, looking at the ball, running into each other is a penalty now? #NEWBRE

Trippier trying to put the player off by yelling in his face. Unsportsmanlike conduct. Red card. Should be down to 9 these cunts.

Clearly losing this game. We are woeful. Brooks never a captain.

You see performances like Nepal's today, Netherlands yesterday and you THINK it will be a catalyst for the despicably run ICC to invest more in associate cricket. But the fact is, Netherlands are in the exact same place now as they were 17 years ago when they beat England at

Mags: we aren’t deluded Also mags:

I gave it a week when the announced it was “fixed” a mere two days ago. Unbelievably bad infrastructure management. Couldn’t run a bath.

Rarely post anything negative, but by Christ Mundle is not a premier league footballer as long as I have a hole in my arse. Stick Wilson out there instead, he’d be more effective.

Irrespective of end result, being 105/5 against Italy is beyond woeful. Massive reset needed.

Only Sunderland could buy a highly rated young star, barely play him, then loan him out to a team in the CL with an obligation for them to buy him for less than we paid. Mental.

Erm, Greggs you okay hun?

An interesting one, because they’ve hit their form and found a good system fairly late on. They do have a far better attacking threat than us in DCL. Other than that, the two teams are fairly even with the exception of Roefs clear of Darlow. Better than us though? Debatable.

All these penalty area fouls going unpunished in Everton vs Man Utd but Brobbey dares touch someone yesterday….

But but but but 24 points ahead of us last season!!!

I don’t think Im exaggerating when I say that we could easily get 120mil for Ballard and Sidiki combined. Priceless for us, but honestly, they add 5 mil each game.
