Cummins is having some day.

Hope he gets to his hundred before he does something daft.

PL with another STATS STINKER!

Doesn't look like this Irish lass's team should take on any under 13s any time soon.

No more shitting in the street for pewer Jords.

Dee-fence! Cha Cha Cha! Dee-fence! Cha Cha Cha!

The music on that second tweet.

Fucking yanks will put Trump in the White House, possibly TWICE, but Joelinton can't get over there to play a few football matches.

(ignoring the "world class" comment)

Eddie Howe is the consummate professional and a nice bloke, who's saying the right thing about a bloke that has been a good servant to the club. That's all that's going on there.

He's gonna love it in the middle east man. Get on the hookah and play a game of Helios with Jordan Henderson. Check his bank balance. Mind if it takes 9 hours to explain the rules to a normal person, he's gonna need to set aside a week for Jords. Bit seriously, no one is turning down £10m a season when the club wants you gone.

Whoa, Dr PaddockLad and his social media based neuro divergent diagnoses!

Disgusting.

Craig Hope made a good point on his latest video. We talk about ASM in terms of the 3 or 4 good games he had last season. You need players you can forgive for 3 or 4 bad games, not ones where you can only point to the 3 or 4 good. It's obviously less black and white than that in reality but you get what he's saying. There's no room for passengers in a team that wants to go places.

His one footedness is fucking painful as well. From what I've seen of last night's highlights, Tonali looks like another natural footballer in the same way Bruno looks. He looks strong on the ball as well. If I was ASM, I'd be on my way for £10m a year. He's not gonna go to a club that wins things, so trophies aren't in his future anyway. He might as well work on his bank balance in a league where he'll enjoy the freedom to do his thing. I don't think going to the Saudi league is any slight on his character or his ambition either BTW.

That's it then, deal done.

That is absolutely no way to talk to PaddockLad.

Fabrizio Romano has tweeted that discussions are taking place over PM about a possible deal. No firm agreement in place yet.

Nothing will bring the stats bros back together quicker than this. Stats is thicker than water.

Dave, this is pragmatism. It's not the foolish romanticism thst we used to get from you. You better learn to tell the difference and you better learn QUICK!

Nice one Strawb, congratulations.

I don't even seriously think I could say his name out loud.

Jealousy.

Under normal circumstances, I'd say we should only be letting the absolute dross go. ASM can start games and change games so, given how thin the squad is and the fact we clearly are still being very careful with transfers, I'd sooner we keep him. However, this is the summer that these Saudi clubs are going mental, so maybe we just have to take advantage of a set of circumstances that might only be fleeting. Good luck if he goes, he's gonna be fucking minted for life.

I've been slagging the ice cube tray off all morning. Gonna stick it in the freezer now and see if Ricky Lambert isn't on to something. Might be able to start a business selling moody ice pops.
