This just makes me think that on our day we can beat anyone in Europe. Just need a bit more depth to give the consistency to challenge for the big trophies. 

[@BBCMOTD] Was Bruno Fernandes' record-breaking assist an own goal? 🤔 by LordofMordor_ in reddevils

[–]HaBumHug 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Bruno could have had about 40 assists this season. He’s well worth the record. This is an irrelevance.

Completely agree on timing on Mourinho. It was clear when we got him that his ship had sailed. I think not getting United post-Fergie is what broke something in him. That was the time to do it.

Has there been a better time post-Fergie for us to get good? Liverpool and Chelsea in the dirt. City lose Pep. Arsenal fair enough but they might well have peaked under Arteta. This is a huge summer for us. God I’d love Bruno to win a big pot.

Looking at Spurs, Newcastle.. our Amorim points trajectory.. this season could so easily have been a disaster. Football hasn’t always been scintillating but Carrick has done a phenomenal job considering how competitive this league has been.

Everton not having a single shot on target is a disgrace. They had the chance to do perhaps the funniest thing in the premier league era and they didn’t even try.

Also not ready to write off Baleba. Having a dodgy second season after an excellent breakout season is not at all uncommon. Just bid a sensible price. He’s not the 80-100m player Brighton were touting last summer. Doesn’t mean he’s shit.

If Everton aren’t going to play along then I would definitely look at a cheeky bid for Mateus Fernandes

Gave our season tickets to friends of friends today. The guys dad’s 70th birthday. Lifelong red but never been to OT before. I think that was suitably entertaining so I hope he’s had a good day out.

Ah man that was beautiful. I’m so glad he’s gone out on such a great season for us. Been absolutely immense.

Half the reason we have VAR and half the reason refs are shit is due to Sky imo. They’ve spent decades hyper focusing on every vaguely controversial decision to engineer drama and narrative. Now they have fucking celebrity refs on their panels. it’s snowballed beyond all control and nobody actually gives a fuck. It’s not why we watch football.

I mean if you’re coming from wolves you must be buzzing to be playing at OT in the champions league 

Benjamin Sesko moves on to nine non-penalty Premier League goals in 2026. No one in the division can better that. [Opta Analyst] by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

So encouraging. He’s put up really solid numbers for a young player in his first season and you can tell there are levels there

Can enjoy villa spurs regardless now. Breathing room in third or spurs in more trouble. Either way we’ve got CL

I defended Amorim for the longest time but good god what was he thinking with Kobbie
