    He's deffinately throwing his toys out the pram (hat in the ring) for what appears to be an open vacancy on the board.

    The love child that was created without Netflix and chill. <laugh>

    I've always known them as Athletic Bilbao... Whether that came from as far back as when we played them in the 90's, which I do remember, I'm unsure.

    If they were allowed to change back in the 70's, they took their time about it. I'm with the others on here that only seem to have realised relatively recently.

    If Bruno is out with illness (as I suspect he will be considering he's, by reports, not trained) what would your team look like?
    Personally I'd go:
    Ramsdale
    Trippier
    Thiaw
    Botman
    Burn
    Miley
    Tonali
    Ramsey
    Murphy
    Woltemade
    Gordon

    Barnes
    Barnes
    Barnes
    Barnes
    Barnes
    Barnes
    Barnes
    Barnes
    Barnes
    Barnes

    With Barnes to come on after 60 mins.

    I was more thinking he could replace Barnes as he will have run himself into the ground.
