Fair play, sending strong message that no one guaranteed a game. None of the chancers in charge last season had the balls to do likewise

+ Matsuki

No Championship but you’ll get some champions league/europa, plus the odd LOI game.

Manning excellent for ROI tonight

Strange move if you believe there were up to 13 clubs interested in him. Will be a long slog for West Ham this year, with high chance of new manager(s) who may not fancy him.

Lovely stuff altogether. Horrible club.

Best defender on the pitch today

Colin Clarke Neil Maddison

Front 8/10 Back 5/10

Missed an open goal there with the plain back, I don’t get it. That said, I reckon white looks better than red. Shame as it’s a nice shirt from the front

Buffon Cafu_McGrath_ Baresi_Maldini Keane _Zidane Maradona _Le Tis_ Messi Bergkamp

Fair play, never thought I’d see a day when Bournemouth are doing £50M deals with Real

Can’t comprehend why Leslie doesn’t start if fit, this won’t be pretty.

That was grim, again. Formation without a striker didn’t help, but too many of our lot were way too casual. No bollocks the lot of em. Sick of it.

I like the cut of his gib, hopefully he can restore a bit of pride

Puma really are shit. Their designs haven’t been at the races for a good few years now, but this pink effort, and the home shirt, are absolute muck.

Bottom half.

No way Juve are forking out 40m next summer. He’ll be back..

Hopefully one or two of the young lads gets off the bench at some point. Scratching my head how Manning starts again, he was muck on Wednesday

Very decent second half, but we shouldn’t be hanging on at the end. Between Baz/KWP/Downes for my motm. Che and Manning very poor again

Manning… for fuck sake.

He was excellent against Nederland tonight, could’ve been a rugger score

Love it. As a nipper I bought the Danish national shirt, then the next year Saints released practically the same shirt which I obviously got too (both still fit me😇). Haven’t bought a shirt in years, well tempted with this one..

That’s not too shabby, but I only want stripes if they’ll be on the back of the shirt too. Several seasons now of a plain back- sick of it!

Excellent as always.. that should be mandatory reading for the geniuses running the football club
