I don't think he'll do that. Over the medium term our form is terrible. We need to be going into the Leicester match with a team firing and settled, and winning together. The last thing we need us to just chuck matches away just to avoid injury. Far too much value has been placed on the concept of bloody "rest" on this forum. What about the concept of "match fit"? Ings, Walcott etc need to play, not rest. The WBA is a week away, the cup semi 6 days after that. No rest required.

Excellent debating skills.

I wasn't debating you. I see United have taken the lead against "so good" Brighton. Do you think you can sleep easy tonight now, petal?

Absolutely pitiful.

Jesus wept.

Just remember the twats on this forum that were willing us to chuck our FA Cup games away because they were shitting themselves about bloody Fulham. Pathetic.

Fulham now one win in six, four defeats out of last five. Three goals scored in six games. Three goals. There's your boys lads. Ain't they doing well?

She doesn't do Christmas lunch, then? She must be furious with you because we all know that you have one, every year.

When you've grown the balls to berate your own mother about it, let me know. You've never spoken to anyone you are close to about it. Not once. You know it, I know it. Tip-toeing gutless wimp.

As someone has already said this is the lowest of the lowest hanging fruit. Anyone can tell a Jehovah's Witness where to go. Shooting fish in a barrel. Absolutely pitiful that's your only answer to my point. Pathetic, considering the crap you've put up in here. I mean actual humans, actual people you speak to. Real people. Tell your Mum she supports genocide when she sends a Christmas card. Tell your nieces or nephews you won't give them an Easter Egg while you give them the peado speech. Have a big discussion over the Christmas Lunch with your siblings, your father. Real people. You believe this shite, so tell them. Go and tell them, don't just type it out on here. Tell them to "counter your points". Tell them. Tell them. Ask them to provide proof. Ask them. Ask them. You've never ever done that and you never ever will.

You've never said any of this stuff to a real human being in your life. Not once. Just typing out horseshit on here, while enjoying Christmas Dinner, presents and Easter Eggs and everything else like the rest of it. You're absolutely full of shit.

Don't you cherry pick all the bollocks about genocide? And you cherry pick all the bits of Christmas you want to celebrate because we all know you have never ever expressed any of these views about "all Christians support genocide" to any actual real human beings around your Christmas table. Just type it out on here. Because you celebrate Christmas (and Easter) just like the rest of us. Cherry pick chery pick cherry pick.

I guess Fulham will be looking nervously over their shoulder now. Maybe, just maybe, with a big dollop of good fortune, we can catch them?

Hesgoal is on the Dutch commentary which us quite annoying

Nowhere near the strength of side that the likes of Fulham, West Brazil Albion and Newcastle can put out, but all in all the best we can put out there. No excuses today, lads.

Fulham have lost three of the last four, scoring a breathtaking two entire goals in the last five matches. Not sure how that is "in form". They need some actual, real form for them get to or past the 40 points you think we need to be clear of them. Newcastle are shite, West Brom are already relegated. If you swapped our situation with theirs and put us 18th, with 26 goals and 5 wins there is no way you'd be identifying the team in 14th, seven points clear as the team going down. No way on earth. We're not going to be relegated and we should be absolutely going for it in the cup. Not that this us anything other than a moronic debate - whatever result we get today has no relationship to what happens at Wembley in a fortnight. Absolutely absurd.

It is a foregone conclusion that they are relegated. "Only 8 from safety". For crying out loud, these people.

Desperately need Chelsea to save us from certain relegation in the next 15 minutes here

Here's a non-paywalled Covid vaccine side effects update from me. I had the British-is-best Oxford AZ jab on Tuesday. Four days on, slightly surprised and delighted to say that I've seen no side effects at all. Maybe a bit of a headache on day 2 but really nothing. The missus had Pfizer the day after, and more of a sore arm and a bit tired on Thursday etc but nothing beyond that. Not sure what that tells anyone apart from to say that in some cases there is no downside to the vaccine, only considerable upside.

But Ings wouldn't really be a "cheaper" option. If you believe what Pep is saying, that Man City want sustainable signings and won't over pay, that does really mean spaffing forty odd million on 29 year old walking treatment table Danny Ings. Signing this Halaand kid is likely to be better value for money, even if he is three times more expensive up front And Pep's quoted as saying "there is more chance we are not going to buy any striker for next season" and "we are not going to sign any striker. It's impossible" So basically it doesn't matter what Pep said, people just reframe it as "Ings is going to City" because they've decided already. Anyway, the quotes are standard press conference bollocks and as your interpretation shows, people just use it to prove what they already think is going to happen.

Look, we tried everything we could to keep him.

I think that it is very much too early to be ruling out 1-1.

Nice to see you've got a brand new thing to shit yourself about.

When did International U21 football become the yardstick of how good a player is? I mean, come on it's glorified reserve team football of no consequence at all. Just look at prety much any U21 team in the history of the world and spin five years forward and see how many truly make the grade to top level international. Redmond was a U21 regular under Southgate for example. I've no idea if this kid is any good or not but I am pretty confident that he is not the world beater right now that some seem to think he is. If Ralph isn't picking him thats fair enough, not some scandal.

I've heard he's been linked with the Internazionale Hotel in Milan.
