Likewise. I’ve lost many a hot take which I ended up concluding I didn’t need to retype it anyway. Which just means less engagement to see the ads ironically. Would like to see the number / size of ads reduced where possible. Appreciate this site which we all enjoy (sometimes) need paying for.

He must be really excited about becoming their manager in January. Joking aside, Chelsea are starting to look scarily good IMO. They looked good under Poch and I don’t think Maresca has significantly improved on much since he came in. Not that I have paid a lot of attention but they countered...

The problem isn’t Minteh but the fact the club signed Minteh for £30m~ where as we signed Solly from Lewes for as good as free and made him “one of our own”. Minteh’s price tag comes with pressure and that’s a shame for him and us as it is very hard to look beyond that. I think once he settles...

Calm down

I don’t mind people being a bit crap if they cost £6m tho but in excess of £30m should guarantee a standard of final ball. Minteh looks wild. Rutter also incredibly unrefined. Those are massive transfers. Breaking our structure for those guys has waved a bit of a red flag for me. C’est la vie...

Both of those players would have cost us £16m a few years ago. Now when Brighton come calling there is a success tax. Bizarre how we’ve been spending £25m+ kinda casually. All part of the Southampton mimicry I guess. We’ll all be scratching our chins in a couple of years wondering how we ended...

Concerned about Minteh and Ruttner being really crap but costing £70m

Ok, I see now. So old Div1 and PL are being treated as the same thing. It feels murky to me. Crossing the streams like this. Anyway, good luck to anyone wanting to find out the answer.

By virtue of the alphabet, have we even ever been bottom of the premier league?

As the player went in to make the foul, before contact was made, I said to myself “this is going to be at least 6 months”. Hope that helps.

Yes, serious. Agree with what you say, because it will always be too hard to prove intent. But my point is that intentionally bad tackles of this severity, verging on ABH, have consequences. If we’re talking about business and assets etc then “where there’s blame there’s a claim”. I don’t...

Yeah, quite. I think ultimately it will be too hard to prove but it would be nice to send a fax over after breakfast filing for £xM. That’ll wipe the smirk of their faces.

What are you talking about? I think it’s perfectly reasonable for the club look at legal action after that tackle. 6 minutes in to a debut for a £25m player to be intentionally crocked. 100% worth investigating. The intent is hard to prove, but it’s not unrealistic at all. Neither is it tInPoT.

I think footage last night will be enough to justify Brighton opening a legal case against the challenge. Lesley’s comments at the end are an admission of guilt if you read between the lines. Referee was appalling all game. f***ing clueless, but his ineptitude wouldn’t have stopped the...

The referee has had a nightmare there. It’s a straight red and looked it as it happened. Could see it happening. Shocking tackle, and the referee has endangered the players by letting that go unpunished. Booked later for another reckless lunge on Julio. Not acceptable from player or referee...

Very sad. Went with great dignity. RIP.

Really hope Everton go down. Their fans have become a bit of an embarrassment. Not withstanding the eye watering amounts the players are paid this no way to talk to anyone. Utterly pathetic from grown-ups but at least it’s not rioting.

Unfortunately it’s an unpopular opinion that JS is useful. Personally I am delighted for him and recognise his experience as a grounding presence in the dressing room. He’s had both a good career and an awful one at the same time 😂 but I think that’s helpful for a young squad. He’s no mug. Not...

Tbf the queen died and he had a lot of time with the squad.

I actually feel like Moder is more of a leaner, taller, faster gross / lallana figure. Even post injury has recorded one of the fastest sprints in the PL (allegedly) and has played successful roles at LW and LWB as well as more centrally. "While Jakub Moder might have only played 17 times for...
