Everton really trying hard to nail down that mid table spot.

Interesting fact, Thomas Delaney is red-green colourblind.

Incredibly lucky indeed. Think of some other teams of a similar size and stature to us... Palace, Norwich, Wolves one could go on and on. They never had anyone close to Le Tissier, and for his entire career. Won't ever happen here again.

"I came from a Sunday league team in Southampton and with my background I didn’t know many footballers and didn’t even know how Chelsea Academy worked, I thought playing here was unrealistic. I admired Portsmouth and Southampton because that’s all I knew, I always dreamed of becoming a footballer but my family and I never thought it was realistic, then when I got the chance everything happened quickly and it was unbelievable." Eeek

Part of pre-season

Just won the French league, not passed it yet. Free agent? Get him back and keep him around the place forever.

Can we sign Roman Yaremchuk from Gent please? Reminds me of a more mobile Pelle.

Well a huge thanks to TWar is in order for all the laughs this morning.

New kit's alright, I'd probably buy a sponsorless one.

Such a waste of all our time

You're right. 1 out of 10 is too harsh. 2 out of 10 perhaps would've been fairer. He was shocking against Fulham and has been all season except in one game against a Championship defence. Not hating on the guy, just stating reality.

It's been hard having to keep this one quiet until the official announcement! 😁 Glad it's all sorted. The whole family is relieved, especially after the year we've all had we didn't want Theo disappearing somewhere up north again. Mel can sleep easy again now bless her.

Great f**king day. Arriving into Waterloo with OWTS bellowing around the station was a joy.

What a f**king loon 😂

Oh my, number one really is beautiful

Redderz! Get in it's about bloody time you put in a good performance, and that was a great performance. The cynic may suggest that he's found his level against Championship defenders who back off and back off, but let's not take away from a solid 90 minutes from him. Hopefully that can now give him the much needed confidence to go and put a good shift in against Prem teams. Loved both his finishes especially for his first. Please keep it up Nathan.

Is Tella injured? He's looked good recently.

Jesus f**king christ. We need a facepalm emoji on the reactions for sh*t like this.

If he plays well we'll be delighted. If he plays terribly once again people will point it out. Seeing him on the team sheet is such a massive downer. Bournemouth stand a far better chance of winning with him in the team than with him on the bench. Let's hope he rediscovers some form today. Please. PLEASE!!!!

What rivalry? They're not trying to pretend we're their rivals are they? 😐 If so, just like Bournemouth, desperate for some relevance. Brighton are alright. Nice place, decent club, play good football. Rivalry! 😂 (laughing at the idea of a rivalry, not you Mr. The Cat)

Worth a bump

Redmond would command something between 5-8 mil I reckon, which is still 5-8 mil more than he's worth. Tella on the other hand looks dangerous and his pace is going to cause plenty of teams problems. He's going to score soon if he keeps getting starts.

Yet another composed performance from Fraser. Made a great save from another offside chance which apparently isn't allowed to be mentioned, and looks so assured. He commands his box far better than McCarthy and his handling is far better too. Why has it taken so long?

He got caught way out of position for one of Newcastle's goals. Both Stephens and Bednarek aren't decent right back options annoyingly.

It's definitely not all Redmond's fault, obviously, but right now he's playing terribly and has been for weeks and weeks.
