    I don't know, I think it's fair enough TBH.

    Yep. And when you consider the complete mess that the likes of Chelsea, Utd, and Spurs perpetually find themselves in, year on year, despite spending hundreds of millions every window.

    Eddie Howe and almost the perfect recruitment to this point. They've still spent a reasonable about, but we all assumed they were going to do a Man City or Chelsea when they first got taken over kind of splurge on big name players and that hasn't happened.

    Eddie Howe should be the next England manager if he wants it.

    Bournemouth would still be milling around the lower leagues without him and the job he has done at Newcastle suggests that he can do it at a bigger club too.

    I pray this happens. Would be surprised if he left Newcastle so soon though.

    I reckon Potter is not taking a job on purpose because he knows he'll be in the frame after the Euros.

    Southgate has kept faith with that useless sack of **** Maguire and the lesser spotted Kalvin Phillips. Sigh.

    Rinse and repeat. Same old s***e favourites of Southgate. Have to feel sorry for JWP. What more does he have to do to get picked over the likes of Henderson and Phillips? So bored of it now.

    Doesn't get in some of our own fans' starting line ups, but gets called up for Argentina, the best team in the world <laugh>

    Also, Russell take note.

    Yet we won’t auto qualify for Euro 2028, although that’s down to UEFA.

    There’s a bit of a suggestion it’s to disqualify South America from trying to host 2034 in order to pave the way for Saudi Arabia, which I can firmly believe.

    That will raise his profile ahead of the January transfer window. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    It's incredible how many assists that JWP is getting from corners this season, we had hardly any in the last 2 years.
    It's crazy that he's not in the England squad given his current form.

    Charly’s response to the club posting about his call up on Instagram just makes me love him more.

    Surprised he could understand the message seeing as he can’t speak the language

    Hardly his fault our players couldn't score headers!

    His corners were routinely on the money...
