I'm at the point now where it's worth just joining the crowd and getting some immoral* owners in like Saudis or US who hate what football actually is even more than ever before. Let's get the extra game in America and Middle East and wherever else they want and just be done with it. *i know our owners aren't squeaky clean...

So the mismanagement isn't just related to football then. Who did the deals with their government? Rudkin?

Ben Foster for me

Way to call one of your best players out...

Wow. Tough on Celtic and Kasper.

Edit. Wrong thread.

Orient brilliant.

Do you forget what happened in his final season with us?

Chris Sutton thinks firstly it's Goretza and then thinks it's Guerreiro that slid in and missed it. It was the big brute that is Kim Min-Jae

Wow.

Sadly, the answer is yes. A resounding yes, at that, which speaks volumes. The disconnect between ownership and fans grows ever larger.

I don't want them to because or Rodgers but it'd be pretty special it Celtic were to somehow nab a result here and qualify over Bayern against all odds.

Love Atalanta but what a run Brugge are on. 3 up away!

But Ayew isn't doing much either! We're conceding at a stupid rate regardless. I think Mavididi given game time can at least make defenders think twice about how forward they push. Ayew is ridiculously easy to play against.

I hope they're getting the help they need at this difficult time.

A blind child's choice of footballers without knowing what football actually is.

Is it a bowl shape?

Hermansen Woyo - Faes (!) - Okoli - Kristiansen Ndidi - Soumare Facundo - Bilal - Mavididi Vardy On the basis RVN doesn't veer from the only thing he knows (4-2-3-1), that's the best team we can put out right now. We need goals and therefore we need quicker players in attack. If we have to bring on Ayew and Reid in the 2nd half but let's try and at least start fast from the off. If you're a full back and you see the OAPs starting, you're already thinking you've got a decent game ahead of you. Up against a pacier LW and a skilful RW at least gives them something different to think about. I'd hope Ndidi and Soumare continue to link well. As for Faes, the lack of alternatives is alarming.

Distance to the pitch is probably the biggest difference. There's a really steep stand which makes it feel very imposing or gets fans to feel very close to the pitch. Apparently transport is a major issue for fans that went last night. And that's only 10,000 allowed. Public transport infrastructure needs to be improved.

I'd change it to a 4 3 1 2 Take out Aribo for someone else. Does Dibling play anywhere in midfield? I'd leave Bilal as the CAM, then have Delap with Cunha instead of Hutchinson.

Yeah that's Leeds up. What has the Sunderland keeper done.

Woo Sunderland 1 up. Isidor with a decent finish, albeit probably against the run of play.

Come on, Sunderland.

Someone recommended Cow Town in Salford the other day. Never been there myself but is apparently good for a pig out.
