While we are all (or at least some) discussing whether or not the Spanners equaliser should have stood, and indeed acknowledging that they deserved something from the game, perhaps if they had started Callum Wilson or at least brought him on earlier, then they might have actually got a win.
He's a proven goalscorer and a proper pain in the arse for defenders and he can create chances from very little. I don't know if he's carrying an injury that limits his minutes, but he could have done a good job for us this season.

He’s about 57 in fairness.
 
Mourinho back to Real is a pretty big move.

I think it will end in disaster. Yes he can manage big egos, but last time he was there the egos were attached to players who were actually good. Beyond Vinicius, Valverde and Mbappe (and Bellingham when he can be bothered), there is nothing special about this Real team.

The game has moved on, Mourinho hasn't.
 
And in other Real-related news, Casemiro has just said that Bale was a better all-round player than Cristiano Ronaldo.

That noise you just heard was millions of keyboard warriors rushing to their PCs.

It'll be entertaining watching it unravel though..

Mbappe is one of the problem egos from what I've gathered

He has previous for being a disruptive influence in the dressing room

If he has season long, year on year demonstrable
delivery like CR7 and Messi had, then you could
perhaps understand the ego.

The above doesn't seem to be the case, does it.
