18:20 Ryanair tomorrow night from Stansted into Malpensa then 06:40 friday am back to stansted for work on Friday morning! 3 of us travelling Staying in Garibaldi area! Can't wait.

When is Boufal due back? Could he be in?

Very good first half. But with Redmond and Long we have two absolute terrible finishers up front. Desperately need Austin on.

Good performance. Martina and Austin should start Sunday.

anyone got a boxing stream?

ANNOUNCE THE SCHEDULE! Also bore off with Israel/Palestine comments this ain't the place. Tel Aviv is an amazing place, can't wait.

We should try and get Rashford on loan from United. clearly not in Jose plans at the moment. He could be great for us and get game time.

Just got back from a lovely weekend in Manchester. Some thoughts: Far better teams than us will go to Old Trafford this year and lose by more goals and have less chances. I thought up until Zlatan's first goal we were good and in control of the game, just didn't take major chance (Long), made me realise we need a striker, a clinical one who works in this new system. Second half I thought we were ok but it was a lot of passing and not much else. Need to be far more ruthless in final third. I don't really get the diamond, but if that is what he wants to play he needs to buy a striker who works in the system. It just felt to me watching as this is a slightly poorer team than last season, with none of the signings apart from Hojberg giving any indication that they will make us better. Also I am probably reading far too much into this, but I thought the body language of some of the players were poor, not much talking and Fonte looked particularly miserable. I found it interesting as well Puel just walked straight down the tunnel no clapping of fans, don't really mind but surprised he didn't come over with players at end. FINALLY - why were our fans singing ' Mourinho's right you're fans are ****e' - he said that at Chelsea about Chelsea fans. bugged me

Have my ticket and very excited! Do have a sense having not gone last 2 seasons and have missed us win there twice, we will inevitably get spanked tomorrow. Think Fonte and Cedric must play that parternship kept Pogba and Martial quiet in Euros. Should be good atmosphere, if we can survive first 30 mins then we have a chance. Looking forward to seeing Zlatan, Pogba and of course Pied play in the flesh!

Why leak negative news, which you will know be posted on an already very negative forum. I can't wait for The Secrets of the ITKer to be published so we can understand these dark arts.

I think this is a fair view, and sums up what a lot of fans think. No other clubs seems to go through this kind of overhaul each summer, which as fans make it even more frustrating. Although some of the players in the Arsenal-Liverpool game had to be sold, it was galling watching so many ex players score. Added the bringing in of a manager no one knows much about and signings that have been good but not exactly exciting, I can understand why people feel frustrated.

bizarre they want to change captain, seems like an unnecessary reason to rock the boat in a Summer where we have already lost Koeman and other first team players.

damage limitation

great to read everyone loving gastons performance...

hmmmmm. I miss Pelle and Mane...

:thumbup::lol:

Can someone give a quick update of why this is thread is suddenly at fever pitch and something may happen today? Thanks from all the people just logging in now.

Sam Cunningham ‏@samcunningham now30 seconds ago Tottenham's head of recruitment Paul Mitchell has handed in his resignation at the club. Full story @MailSport. Lets get him back.

When we were last linked with a player by a credible outlet? Feels a long time ago. very quiet.

anti climax

THIS IS EXCITING

Surely Fonte and Cedric must be back in training today ? Interesting to see if there return is made a big deal of?

must be done deal. not sure why club would leak story if not

With fitness record of Jay Rod and Austin the idea of not getting replacement makes me concerned.

£13 mil sounds a bit cheap for Chinese market... ? Weren't Watford offered 38 for Ighalo?
