Oh absolutely. I remember after the first month wondering why we'd replaced March with him, with a guy who didn't offer as much in attack but wasn't obviously better in defence. Then he found his feet and proved me very wrong

I wouldn't be surprised if Dan Burn gets a call up

It's certainly disappointing that Undav apparently isn't ready to start a game. It may have been a tactical move to have an extra midfielder, but in the end Mwepu just seemed to be playing the Welbeck role, but nowhere near as well.

Would have thought Ajax have a no dickhead test as well. Still, as much as I love us, Ajax or Brighton feels like a no brainer decision

We've just played our three bunny sides in a row, we're 1 defeat in 27 Premier League games against Newcastle, West Ham and Leeds. Now we come up against Fulham who we've never beaten in four PL games. Will be tight, no doubt

Maybe Webster should sit on Mitrovic?

I think it's helped that all the big guns are off doing the hundred, so although we lost Phil Salt, he ain't playing against us. PS we're not doing well in the CC :(

Oh I think those two Liverpool defenders were crucial to their sides victory. Probably would have lost without their defensive performance

We've just come off a run of playing our three bunny sides, Newcastle, West Ham and Leeds, since promotion we're 1 defeat in 27 games against these three teams. Now comes a run against sides we have generally found trickier

Arsene Wenger only ever played amateur football. So did Sven Goran Eriksson who retired from playing at 27. Roy Hodgson only ever played non league football in Kent. Jose Mourinho was a reserve team player for most of his brief career, going to university at age 24 and moving into coaching...

If another team does a Leicester it likely won't be done the same way. Leicester (a) had four of the best talents of the last two decades all reaching those heights at the same time - Schmeichel, Kante, Vardy, Mahrez, and (b) all the main competition had managerial turmoil, culminating in City...

Ditto, although I went for Connor rather than CMS, even though I knew Leeds fans have mares about CMS

*made up name alert*

Plenty of women's teams have male managers and some are amongst the most successful in the game.

What's the option for 'I really don't know?' I still believe that he will get better and at age 28 /29 be a top top striker. But for that to have been realised with us would have required Potter to pick him as first choice right now in order for him to sign a new contract. And there's no way...

If he's still here in a year I'll be delighted. Probably one of two things will have happened, we either end up underwhelming into a bottom half finish, or he fancies staying on when we're in Europe. As to his replacement, it has to be a continuity candidate in terms of tactical nous and...

They'll do alright, but it's not a given that Howe can manage a team to that level, however well he's started out

I'll miss him. I really think he will blossom into a top striker, we perhaps forget how young he is and how his stats compare very favourably to other to strikers at a similar stage of their career. Last year felt like the breakthrough but then he went off the boil, and he doesn't really fit...

My daughters first league game of the season is against Forest Green, so this is kind of cool

What we don't know yet is how they will play in a game against Arsenal, City, Liverpool etc when we're defending our box for large parts of the game, can they have the same tenacity to win the ball in those tight spaces and bring it forward. Hopefully yes, and we will see
