Ha ha, what a load of s***. Was there some Stefano Gerrardo playing for Atletico and Spain when Torres did as well.

I don't even remember Quansah being that highly rated as a youth player with us. It just felt like he was put into the first team squad as next in line to play centre half rather than being the next big thing.

It's because he looks like he should be shuffling around outside The Asda with a tartan shopping trolley, but is actually dead fast, like a prank off Jackass or something.

Curtis Jones, Quansah, Morton, Neco Williams, Connor Bradley, they all have top flight careers. Raheem Sterling, Suso, Connor Coady, before that. There are successes there, but not at the hit rate of the likes of City or Chelsea's youth teams. We still make decent money for our youth products though. Look at the fees we got for the likes of Doak, Bobby Clark, Quansah, Hoever, Morton, Neco Williams, Brewster etc. Gulacsi too, he had a great career!

Could pave the way for Danny Murphy as his assistant.

You can get Igor Biscan t-shirts? Take my money!

Imagine being Steve Parrish. All of your good players are bailing out, your manager is bailing out, your star striker wants to bail out, but can't pass a medical. The club is on fire.

Yeah, it was pretty widely reported that we were bang into Bruno Guimaraes and basically didn't move for him because we wanted to wait until the summer and thought that there was no chance that Newcastle would sign him. Think it was in Ian Graham's self tribute novel as well.

Oh right, yeah, we'll definitely catch those Harvey Elliott hating bumbaclarts.

He's the son of our former owner George Gilet. Yeah, I hear he hasn't played for them for most of the season.

Love the optimism, but we'd have to win every game and they'd need to lose 5 of their remaining 14 and we've already played them twice. They they've still got 8 of the bottom 10 in the table to play amongst those 14 as well. The only influence that we're having on the title race is whether we beat City or not. We could knock them out of the CL though, that might have to do.

I'd just like to apologise for my disgraceful comments about bald people. Not all bald people are c****, just some of them, particularly yesterday's referee.

Absolutely, but wasn't it Tal Ben Haim?

Also, Hooper is on crack. I hate all bald people, c**** to a man.

f***ing embarrassment this. How can a team this good be so bad?

Nah, because it coincides with trying to get the little b*****ds ready for bed.

On the bright side, it spares us their usual pomp and circumstance bulls*** where the least good player from a Juventus team who made the quarter finals 25 years ago takes 20 minutes to draw each team from a load of fishbowls.

We'll go 2-0 up and then draw 2-2. Woltemade will score and they'll sing a mean song about Isak.

But him winning neither...

Whoever the commentator on TNT Sports was last night kept calling him Wee Urtz, like he was a small Scottish child. Really irritating. Great performance though.

I don't know, how does any party play that? It would be humiliating for everyone involved.

That has to be one of the most frustrating matches I've ever watched.

Alonso is going to manage the Japanese national team?
