That's not what I was suggesting. More that with Joelinton now out we'd have to play Phillips immediately if we did sign him and he's unlikely to be ready for immediate 90 minute games. I'd welcome him with open arms, but also dreaming of someone coming in who can hit the ground running.

Not that he was actually crossing to Silva, but Silva showed his class with the finish. Could we be giving them any more space?

Fuck there goes any chance of atmosphere, not that we've given much to the crowd.

Petulance

Someone who is immediately match fit though which Phillips won't be. How is that not a yellow?

If he's good enough he's old enough, and not like there's a choice, have you seen our bench? He's coped incredibly well with the pressure too.

None of these three have physical presence. Obviously Joelinton is shoulders above in our squad in that respect, but even Willock's energy would be welcome. Bruno on a yellow now is fucking shit. Stupid really.

Exactly what Isak exuberantly asked the ref.

I've just taken a photo of that right foot cross from wor Miggy.

Bruno saw Almiron coming towards it with his right foot and knew that Edison would be back from injury before he got a shot off.

It was Walker not Longstaff that caught him. And seriously, Longstaff pulls out his best finish in months when it doesn't count

What a crazy start this has been.

Kyle Walker has fucked someone else now.

Must be a global re-launch as it's also back down under in the coming weeks. When I was a teenager they pulled me out a crowd to film a bit for a Gladiator advertisment next to one of the female Gladiators https://www.gladiatorstv.com/international/australia/gladiators/storm.php They didn't end up using the footage in their ads, upon reflection it may have been because one of us wasn't attractive enough.

We demand a club that tries. And also wins.

It's a controversial opinion but with Joelinton out injured there's a job here that Hayden's experience could be valuable for - rubbing down big Joe's quads during recovery and thereafter pre and post match.

Exactly, whilst we all still consider the Saudi League to be a bit of a joke, they don't, so they aren't about to belittle themselves by loaning out players whom they have just spent big money luring there. We just have to be patient. Last season was amazing, but that's not going to be possible this season, so we'll have to be shrewd in summer and come at 24/25 domestic season hard.

You're right; our commercial and marketing department was Penfold answering the phone using a slightly different voice. If any company legitimately wanted to do any sort of deal they'd have had to wait for his order of Commercial Sponsorship for Dummies to be fulfilled.

Maybe he was better on a wet track having impressed in Scotland?

Does anyone else recall there being some rumour about Boumsogn(tm) having small feet and wearing boots that were too big (something like this anyway) which was why he fell over so often - or did I just completely dream that up?

Love is love

Yes but apart from these and a few others you couldn't fault the lad.

Dubravka though he had fuck all to do most of the game managed to make a couple of very good saves when he was called on.
