What the

Declaration = worst form of tokenism possible
The Premier League has united with the UK football family in signing a joint declaration, committing to make mental health a key priority at all levels of the game
About the declaration:

Sometime this week Bruce will talk about Brighton being a good team. He will mention luck. He will talk about having to be ready for their attacking capabilities and strong defence.

I wish someone would explain to

that Newcastle is a place; a city in England. Newcastle United is the football club. Newcastle United have instructed Lawyers, not Newcastle.
“The Premier League are believed to be standing alongside its major £500m overseas rights holder beIN Sports” says The Mirror.
Since when did the influence of an overseas rights holder become such a critical aspect of the PL O&D Test?

Probably not.

They are against supporting investment that might threaten the status quo of the current influential so called Top Six. A case of know your place.

Bruce simply gave up after 7 minutes. Had nothing to offer in the way of changing tactics, a plan B or even a slight showing of encouragement or anger at what he was watching. He has to get the elbow i’m afraid.
Javier Manquillo put in a great shift yesterday. Outthought and outplayed Zaha for 90 minutes. gave 100% and that’s what supporters appreciate. While Miggy took most of the headlines it was Manquillo that we were talking about last night.
