Superb!

Well this isn’t going according to plan. But then again, anything to keep Ole in the job.... small victories and that....

For the record, Fred is up there with Allan, Lo Celso, Ceballos, Jorginho and Fernandinho in the cunt stakes.

Maybe. Leeds look a little naïve in the way they play, all out balls to the wall for 100 odd min - reminds me of some of our early runs under Our Teutonic Man Mountain of All that is Good in Humanity - but if they learn from this season and kick on next, they might up there in the mix for CL spots. Purely on mentality they’ll have more mental strength than Everton and Arsenal, but then again that’s not saying much....

Need Leeds to bum Ole’s boys now

Nice. Cheers for sharing that. That the refs fall for it is one thing (it really isn’t) but the fact that “pundits” spew this nonsense where Salah does down easily pisses me off no end. My bias might be showing but I reckon he doesn’t get many calls when being man handled in the box.

Kane gets a penalty when it should a been a foul by him (for making a back for Lallana) outside the box. VAR overturns a free kick decision. Complete bullshit. Brighton denied a penalty by VAR for a pull back (a very minor shirt pull) inside the box. Makes no fucking sense. Lallana and Lamptey are way too good for Brighton.

I love Almiron. Works hard, good acceleration, quick turns, always looking to advance and learning to be stronger in the ball. He is what Keita should be. I’d love him in 4213. Not that we really play that way, mind.

Anything with Burnley is a tough watch. Very much channeling Tony Pulis. Surprised Dyche hasn’t bid for Big Andy. Newcastle are absolute tripe and that Saint-Maxim bloke is a fucking soft as shite fraud. How he has a professional contract is mind boggling. Always bet on him running into traffic, having the ball taken off him and then him rolling around looking dazed. A shit Jordan Ibe that bloke.

Cheers for doing the report so quickly Dave. I’m still seething. We’ve known what Atletico play like for a while now. Plus we had good experience against similar in Qatar against Monterey and Flamengo. It’s not their shithousery that bothers me (and I’m livid at those snide cunts) it’s that we didn’t step up. Our play was too ponderous, too predictable, too monotonous against the best in the business at this sort of backs to the wall play. They played to their strengths and probably played to their potential. We did not. I hope we rip them a new one, but a lot might depend on the ref. Ideally we put the game to bed before the ref gets swayed by their bullshit.

Yeah... as did the rest of the club. Even Bournemouth by the look of it.

Brad Smith. At loan at Cardiff, from Bournemouth. We flogged him for 6m. I always thought he had a future with us. Had a good cross on him.

The wage thief, I get but adding gerrymandering to it was genius. Gerrymandering wage thief. Superb.

I was thinking the same thing, watching it Live and on replay and again the highlights later. It's a clearance not a cross. When things go your way, take advantage. And did we ever. With Ings' penalty denial and Trent's clearance. About time the luck fell our way.

Ah..... cheers mate.
