Pretty sure Pope made this gesture to the Brentford fans at the weekend as well.

If you put your ruthless hat on for a second it does make sense, Eddie won’t want to risk our entire season on Pope’s shoulder - not after it cost us so much this time.

Deliberately ignoring the caveat from his post, yes I agree 8th is not a great season.

Bruno not a good passer. Jesus wept.

They repeatedly passed the ball directly to our players, Casemiro is an absolute liability which we completely failed to capitalise on. All three of their goals you could argue we had a hand in. Make no mistake, they are shit and a one man team. We were just worse on the night. Wilson’s unavailability cost us again, Isak was clearly a passenger. We had 1 or 2 too many cloggers out there - probably still edged the game but somehow they’ve scored 3 goals.

Well that was horrible. Another shite Man Utd performance where they pick up the W. We were so poor; Hall & Gordon the only bright lights.

Maybe I have been got but I think you can quite easily make the point. If I was writing the headline it might read something like ‘Soaring child poverty and tory austerity is driving local councils into the arms of foreign dictatorships in order to feed desperate families’.

Not at all. I’m no apologist for the Saudis but I can also remark on how privileged and blinkered you have to be to see Newcastle Council trying to feed kids in poverty through a connection with the club and your reaction to that is ‘I’m concerned with the councils relationship with the Saudi regime’. edit. Grammar

I’m sure the starving kids will sleep easy tonight, safe in the knowledge they’re not being nourished by the evil Saudis.

If he’s got a set of car keys, stick them in his hand and make them count.

Is he a toon fan?

I love watching him at the minute, so exciting to have someone at left back who can use the ball like he can.

I don’t think it’s any deeper than the line he quoted beneath the reel ‘some people live just to play the game’. Translation: I’m a baller. Can’t really see him staying at Fulham.

If he wants to come in for £60m with an £85m release clause, play out of skin for 2 seasons then jump to PSG that’s fine by me.

He’d have to do a lot worse than that to overtake Owen.
