It stands to reason that we've agreed to it so it must be beneficial to us in one way or another. Maybe we've added an Admin fee for the privilege!

Booking Fee like Ticketmaster etc?
And interest on the loan?

OTOH, if he get's crocked will they cancel the deal?

Seems like Hall signed a new contract which is great news.

Agreed, fantastic to have him locked in for a little longer. 5 years I think I saw

Did anyone ask Manchester Reds if they were ok with this?

It just means they need deeper pockets next year.

[ellroy]

Not convinced he wants them. He’s better than that shower.

Plus with Dad’s family from being up here I reckon there’s a bit of a pull on the heart strings for them all.

Not to say he won’t move.

Still doing it for the toon…..

Was a crackin' goal but TBH I'd rather the Makkems won than bloody Arsenal. I rank them along with Manure as my most despised club.

I think we might have the making of an all time classic PL match in the making tonight lads. Lets just hope we come out of it on top.

That or a 0-0 draw...

[Skyedriver]

Feckin' 'ell

The first was unfortunate the second a disgraceful mistake by Steur

Edit: they've got us on the run, all at sixes and sevens
Need to stabilise or this could end up 3 or 4 -0

Or even 5-0.

Only for Leeds. We've been absolutely dreadful. I think I'm only giving Hall and Hornicek any credit for that 45.

[TX1]

Not much to say apart form we are playing like st, gonna watch something else to forget this half ever happened.

[ellroy]

No midfield to speak of and a defence that seems to be wearing clown shoes at times.

What the hell has happened to Botman?

We need Schar back and big Joe rapidly.

This game is the statistics of the last few biting back with some force I’m afraid.

Said the same thing to my brother Ellroy. I've not been convinced, albeit have been happy with the results. We look completely lost and hopeless. I've turned it off, can't be dealing with it. Well played Leeds though, they look the real deal.

[DoctorX]

Embarrassing.

[Skyedriver]

Sloppy, weak, careless. Lacking in commitment, too easily beaten, giving the ball away, I thought after the first couple of games we were going to be OK but here's the reality, welcome to 26/27

[Chicken Chaser]

Men against boys. Barnes and Hall played well, Wissa tried hard

Yes, think that just about covers it. I'd also say Murphy was trying.. Thiaw kept looking around wondering where the defence had gone. Botman was simply atrocious and the midfield, sadly that includes Miley, were floundering. When Wissa got a ball he was so quick the others couldn't (or wouldn't?) keep up so he was on his own. Felt sorry for the bloke.

[Xenoous]

I'm almost glad it happened though, because we've played similar in each game this season. We can't just hoof the ball up field and score, there has to be real substance to the team. It's the most basic of tactics and we've been found out. I'm certain it'll get better and we just need time for relationships to click, but last night made us look like relegation fodder.

Hope Nico is ok, also worrying that Elanga is injured.
