That place has gone fully PooAnon.

He'll love the place until long after he's left the club, and he'll defend it til he dies.

The smirk Howe got on his face when asked if he had used Ten Hag's comments to motivate the team told you everything you needed to know. As if the cup final wasn't motivation enough, he gave us even more to play for, the clueless prick. He might think twice before calling us annoying cheats next time.

Have Burnley got a bunch of PL players on loan or is my perception of that wrong? Cos they'd have to either sign them permanently or hand them back next season, wouldn't they?

I mean what you're suggesting is fucking mental and just not how the world operates. You don't make progress to the next level and then put things on pause to see how the current set of players does. Best case scenario you slow your progress down massively, worst case you bring it to a complete standstill. And that goes for every competition you're playing in. Neither are good outcomes.

That's not how progress works.

I think we're all forgetting the slide-by tackle that he executed after he'd lost the ball to someone in the second half, which was tremendous. If you'd got a camera alongside that I'm convinced you'd have got a freeze frame of him turned to the side and doing the finger guns at it.

Absolute pisstake. Was that McTominay he did that to?

According to some dweeb on the TF podcast, Sunday's match was his highest "chances created" since he joined the club. If that's right then maybe he's doing exactly what Howe wants him to do.

Effectively a point ahead of them with two games in hand

Thunderbastard.

Given a penalty away now, the pricks. They better at least get relegated for this.

Fucking wanker boy Doucure sent off for pushing/punching Kane who made a pathetic show of hoying himself to the deck. Hope Everton just dig in for the draw here. Someone snapping Kane for being a cock would be decent too.

HUGE fan of the scouse mackems tonight. Hope they smash the fuck out of Spurs.

That's not the actual podcast tbf. I can't watch the YouTube thing cos it's those two trying to be funny for 10 minutes and it's unbearable. The proper podcast is actually alright.

Run slower, score more. I think you might be on to something.

The attitude is bizarre like. They seem to exist in this alternate reality where they're simultaneously not good enough to get out of the Championship AND good enough to finish mid table in the Premier League. And the complete absence of logic just doesn't even occur to them. It's like watching Interstellar whilst standing next to some Spanish bins.

9:52 - Eddie responding to Nike Air Morphy Richards on his comments about time wasting.

"if it improves the team". We're THIRD in the fucking PREMIER LEAGUE, you STUPID CUNT.

That finishing has to be coachable. You can see what Willock's doing wrong technically - the commentators spelled it out yesterday. Give him an hour a week with Shearer over the summer and he'll be bursting the net with these chances next season.

Renton on his way to pick up the Guardian and the pains au chocolate this morning.

The point about having subs that can change the game. The mad thing is that's mostly only really happened cos of the quality of coaching. Longstaff being borderline undroppable for instance which means Joelinton can't get a start. And who 18 months ago would have called Joelinton someone who could come on and make a difference. Similarly Murphy is now good enough to start which keeps new £40m signing Gordon as an option off the bench. It's ridiculous stuff from Howe and the coaching staff. Howe is the true Minister for Levelling Up.

Potter has "agreed a severance deal package unrelated to the five-year deal he signed when he replaced the sacked Thomas Tuchel." The fucking wet lettuce. He's taken the shine right off his sacking for me.
