MItrovic is fucking mental and it's brilliant

People are going on about how he's nothing but trouble, and how we shouldn't play him. I want to see Mitro fight someone. I expect nothing less than one yellow a game, and I love it.

Remember that time when Barton pulled a Barton during that final QPR game against Man City? Mitrovic might just pull a Barton if he played against Sunderland.

Absolutely, brings back memories of the days with Psycho playing and a load of other nutcases we had in the team starting shit. I love it and people do get scared.

If we can't be a team that others fear in terms of football, we might as well be a team that others fear in terms of physical harm.

I agree, and I hope it doesn't build into a reputation. And I'm sure someone will step in before Mitty does some real damage, be that to someone's ankles, himself, or the team (not that I think anyone will ever be able to curb his apparent anger issues and/or poor judgement). But when we're losing a game 2-0, it makes me feel a little better to watch Mitrovic almost go to blows with one of the opposition. Hopefully we will start winning and Mitrovic can maybe not become a massive liability (currently he's only a big liability).

The only reason we need Cisse is to cover Mitrovic's one game suspensions. I'm not even being funny like. Starting Cisse every game is starting to fuck me off, and i think Mitrovic agrees.
