Horrible for Aluko.

F**k me that’s a save

Charlton will be down to 10 at this rate

Right now I'd take someone who plays pragmatic football, and most importantly is a bit of a tough/mean/grumpy bastard who will give the whole squad a good bollocking and accept that some of the soft ****es will down tools. Much prefer to have the 11 players on the pitch who will run through...

Regardless of how good or bad the manager is, if this squad really is one of the strongest in the league we’d have seen some evidence of that. We can’t berate the players each week for being **** and then claim to have a strong squad. The evidence tells us it’s not.

Apologies if it's been provided elsewhere, but do we know the severity of Stewart's hamstring injury?

I’ve made a career out of being great in interviews and then f**k all follow through. Year one “this guys great”. Year two “where’s the delivery?” Year three “Sacked”. Entire career based on 24-36 month roles….

Although there is a difference between ‘we don’t want to sell’ (the fans) vs what the owners want. Those two things may be aligned, but they may not be….

Ot it may be that he just needs a few weeks to recalibrate… Think he’s capable of playing with more pace and adventure, but he’s had it coached out of him.

I play rugby just the other side of the river. Once a year we do something great just as Fulham score and for a moment we get to pretend we have a massive crowd cheering our genius….

Effort in defence up by a mile. Sure, it’s easier to find the motivation when your chasing an equaliser and making chances, but even so….

or is it just Sky sports reporting the Ramsdale speculation 3 days after everyone else?
