You flat out refused to believe this was true when it was first posted, now you're posting it to suit your agenda.

To Burnley.

Fonte gonna get lynched in the same way Redmond was for that then?

Oh give it a f*cking rest, Austin the messiah has missed those chances as well, as has every single football player who ever lived. The ball was behind him and had too much pace on it for him to adjust in time.

Shoulder to shoulder with Baines down by the byline, got a little shove and went flying into a metal chair according to the commo on SSN. WTF a metal chair was doing at the edge of the pitch is anyones guess. At least he didn't get put through a table or thrown off the top of the cage.

Are we really criticising him here for not scoring an absolutely world class goal that no-one had even tried in the Premier League in god knows how long?

Playing decent stuff, but still restricting ourselves with safety first backwards passing when there are "risky" options further forward.

FFS, SportsnationHD is sh*te today. Any links to a stream that doesn't cut out every few seconds?

Massive gaping wound on the back of his head apparently, but let's have a go anyway. Second time he's got an injury like that this season I believe - shows commitment to my mind.

SportsnationHD has let me down for the first time. HD stream is too jumpy to watch, standard stream is just a green screen except for a strip at the top.

According to the beeb Mike Dean was lenient on a wba player in the first half who should have had a second yellow, but we get one of ours sent off instead.

Almost like he suddenly remembered he was in front of the cameras...

But he got the shot away, so he clearly DIDN'T deny a goalscoring opportunity!?

Dier at centreback for them, suddenly much more optimistic. Come on Jay Rod, prove me wrong...

Bless, he probably sent it to Santa.

It's related, there'll be a minutes silence on Wednesday.

Christ, yeah that looks in poor taste Fonte with a zimmerframe? Just noticed the giant schlong hanging out next to Yoshidas head! I assume this wasn't tweeted by the club!

I might be dumb, but I really don't understand what I'm looking at.

In a game played in a much smaller area, with only 6 aside, and a squad of roughly the same amount of players. And the games are half an hour shorter with 2 breaks instead of just one. And I'd disagree that it's anymore physically demanding, other than the occasional fight.

You'd be surprised. A lot of clubs are still pretty thick when it comes to valuations - they go off form from a couple of years back, sometimes years and years. It's why you still see players well past their prime in their mid to late thirties getting clubs. We could get much more for him than you're saying purely off of last season performances, from a club lower down who are desperate for a striker. Palace or Swansea would be prime candidates.

I think we'd take anything over £15million. Definitely not sell him for less than we paid, so anything between £12-15million only if we have someone lined up that we can get in for that amount.

And, in fairness, it's a much tougher division this year!

You do realise we won the trophy you are complaining we got knocked out back of in 2010? Wouldn't want to win this one this season anyway, we shouldn't even be in the competition.

We bought Van Dijk for £12million for f*ck sake. More money doesn't guarantee better quality.
