Echo comment saying most excited I've been for a signing since we signed Vicente. This really feels like a marquee signing. A real step change for us as a club, in terms of caliber and stage of career. Remember this moment. Yes we've still got some £1m youngsters coming in, but just take stock...

It's the intention, but not how it's actually going to work (in my view). On average, a premier league game has less than 55 mins of actual playing time. Small changes in rules to stop time wasting will have big consequences here. Even if we only stamp out 10-15 mins of time waste (so still...

I'll give you my take - A extra 15 mins per game, is going to cause havoc on injuries and squad depth. It may not seem like much, but this can easily be an extra 20% of effort and running per game. Players are already exhausted at the end of games and we know injuries mount up through the...

For those who watched, how did Lamptey perform in the Newcastle friendly? His injury should be behind him now. Will need to get match sharp, but really feels like a make or break season for him to stay at this level. It seems like RDZ is putting faith in him for the season, but feels like...

Nice to lose the piss yellow and get proper stripes back, but why is the middle stripe not centered like this example pic? What we've actually got it the edge of the strip centered to the middle, which makes the whole shirt look unbalanced. So nearly a beautiful clean kit, with proper equal...

Looks about right. I personally think gross is best even further forward, but other than goaly he can literally slot in anywhere he's so versatile

I'm hoping for this signing. Would be great fit both for player and us.

Bit of a bummer. But we just don't have the squad depth. As soon as Wellbeck got injured and we only have Undav as an attacking option it was obvious we were going to struggle. A shame to go out, but such a clear difference in size of club - they are making subs bringing on quality players like...

Sanchez isn't done. Roberto is just giving him a bit of a kick up the bum to push himself to higher standards. Quote from De Zerbi Just on Sanchez to now respond in the right way, and step up to get his place back in the first team squad.

Yeah, it will be interesting if Steele plays in cup as well. If so, not sure how Sanchez works his way back into the squad?

I wrote this in another thread about Steele, but putting it here as potentially interesting/conspiracy view - but could this be some clever trickery from De Zerbi, to have Sanchez in goal and with a point to prove for the FA cup? Potentially sees the FA Cup as our best opportunity of Europe, so...

Slightly contrarian/conspiracy view - but could this be some clever trickery from De Zerbi, to have Sanchez in goal and with a point to prove for the FA cup? Potentially sees the FA Cup as our best opportunity of Europe, so wants Sanchez in goal for these games. Not only gets our best (?)...

That's pretty brutal. This feels less like a kick up the backside for Sanchez, which it first seemed like, and more like they've fallen out a little. Will be interesting to see if this spurs Sanchez on, or actually demotivates him. Sounds like he's on his way out. I wonder if De Zerbi has...

CONFIRMED AS VAR ERROR!!! Now what? What appeal process? Linesman and ref didn't call it as offside - VAR overruled it. Can it be rescinded? Do they understand the importance of beating our rivals Palace? How we spend weeks only thinking about this game. If we miss out on Europe by two...

If they aren't sure then they have to give it. If they are sure then there must be a better angle. If that's the only image they have this is absolutely scandalous and those involved need to be hung, drawn and quartered. Hopefully MODT cover it tonight, if we make enough commotion on that tweet.

I'm fuming if it turns out to be offside. That could be the 2 points that cost us Europe.

Tweet here if you want to make some noise on it:

So MOTD show that VAR drew the line on the wrong defender. What the hell is this? Should the goal have stood? If we miss Europe by 2 points... ------ Update 12/02/2023 CONFIRMED!!!

:O LOVE that!

Most important thread. How many ahead of Europe tracker giraffe?
