Grimly agree. You think dalot gave him a tough time semenyo will give him an absolute plundering.

I thought we hadn’t heard from Demba Ba in a while

He has all the attributes you like to see. None of them at the required level yet though

As an aside (possibly) do you ever wonder if we leak names to inflate prices of players we aren’t massively into?

Feels like we’ve stung a few teams with not great players for big prices.

Yes.

Tsimikas could never.

Some title challenge from Newcastle. Lasted 3 days.

Never seem to get a keeper on an off day do we?

They’ve surrendered everything in the name of control, somehow, that list now extends to control of their own destiny.

In short - it’s mainly social media.

We all discuss all things more than ever before, to keep the discussion going we look for other angles. Go through enough angles and you’re in a post truth age. This comment included I guess.

Feel like someone should tell @hignfy.bsky.social just to be sure.

Gary Neville on the stats again is he

But has anyone shown Florentino Perez a pedro porro cross?

Fair. The two things are not mutually exclusive, convenient in many ways for them to make an offer.

You don’t make an offer for a player who’s unwilling to leave their club. Think this is step one of the PR management - ‘the club had a chance to get a fee for me’

I reckon his agent rami walks into negotiations and just opens twitter and points at things

Shame he doesn’t score. Bergkamp taking notes if he does

Relax. United pay 57m for him in the summer and he’s dog shit 4 months later.

I thought exactly that earlier.

And the manager doesn’t really look like he has an answer other than ‘sell the fucking lot of them’

Sounds like an earth wind and fire tribute band playing at your local this Saturday

Lots of people panicking too much I’d say. 7 points. Newcastle a difficult team at home midweek.

Didn’t deserve the win, annoying because it was there to be had in the end.

Straight from the mourinho playbook.

But, the fact he’s lifting straight from the mourinho playbook is notable in itself.

The kick ups were 🥶🥶🥶 soon as I saw that I knew he’d score

Best goalkeeper in the world apparently.

Rationally I agree.

But I don’t agree. 11 points is enormous and hopefully to make city concentrate their (seemingly limited) firepower elsewhere.

Would we feel better about it if we weren’t 8 points clear?

Somehow, there feels like more pressure because it’s such an opportunity.

Will Phil blundell be joining us? I miss his willingness to go against the tide with his opinion. Occasionally in the wrong direction.

But also, what’s nice is I’ve not finished watching it feeling absolutely knackered. It’s been pretty comfortable watch really.
