I think when shelvey comes back you will see targett back into the team. At the moment when we have the ball trippier moves forward into midfield, and burn stays back giving us a wide 3 at the back with botman central and schar right. When shelvey plays he sits in front of schar and botman who split and let the fullbacks both get forward. Its about passing options and trying to keep the ball

I've been known to.

If Mordaunt gets the job then we’ve gone from “maybe would” to “definitely would” so it’s not all bad news.

By next week my four month old will have lived under three PMs, two monarchs, four Chancellors and three Home Secretaries. FFS.

Sadly not Ian

Somebody wants us to know that he's started shaving. Honestly.... Pathetic.

Grant Shapps being referred to as the ‘excel genius’. Have we ever seen Shapps and Gemmill in the same room?

Aye, but that's cos we've grafted our whole lives and just want to experience not living wage slip to wage slip. This cunt has never had to worry about his mortgage, he's just playing dress up and wants to have a bash at being the big boss

@ewerk who do you think we’ll sign in January then?

This is exactly what Walker was on about last night. The elevation of the talentless. These fucking idiots have no self awareness whatsoever. Brandon Lewis should be on a garage forecourt chasing people round as they peer through car windows, but the cheeky cunt genuinely believes he can run the country.

You're 50:50 on us winning the league? Typical deluded Geordie. In all honesty, I've not been moved from my pre-season prediction. I think we'll get injuries to our strike force that'll mean we'll drop points. If Isak and Wilson are both out at the same time, we'd be relying on Wood and Wood does what Wood does, which isn't a great deal. Dunno if you've ever looked at some Wood, but it just sits there and does fuck all.

Irrelevant when we win the fa cup

Will H from Steps do?

I know it's the many years of watching us but I still feel nervous with some of the playing out from the back and also the last few minutes having watched so many fuck-overs. I think it'll take years of use being able to do what we did last night as therapy before I can relax.

This shows where we are heading IMO. Closing out scrappy games like that. We didn't look threatened once at all tbh from what I can rememeber. Fair play to Fat Frank. He's got them as dirty as he was and diving, moaning and generally acting cunts. Uncle Tezza must have come in and helped with that. Once Joe went off though we didn't control the midfield as much and Bruno wasn't as influential in an attacking sense. We more or less sat back and allowed them to come at us and broke up their play quite easily though. Willock coming on lifted things, albeit he took a while to settle. But the attacking was better then. Chuffed with 3 points though against these tramps. Botman and Schar are solid. Trips, well, he's Trips init. BDB, I think Gordon had the beating of him once, but he doesn't have the intelligence to try it again. What is the SP with Tragett?

I would, from a Labour pov, (and this would play really well with the public) keep saying the Tories haven’t got the balls to call a general election and don’t trust the voters to decide who should be PM. That’s the only fucking drum I would bang at this point. Keep it that simple.

I dunno like, you might have just landed yourself the job of watching the second half of all of Villa's matches, on top of starting NUFC match threads.

That's the one im Blaming

Nadine Dorries is set to have an INSANELY wet fanny for the next week.

Raiding the larder before Liz is kicked out.

Ta-ra Liz. Number 10 has become an Airbnb

Gotham didn’t die for that shit

But what’s the difference between Labour and the Tories?

This doesn’t sound healthy Craig, you should try joining a local history group or metecting club.

Since before the season began, I've have 7th in my head. Anything better than that is a huge bonus.

I tried in the first lockdown and it annoyed the shit out of me. Plus I am *cough* strawberry blonde

Listen here, you little shit. We're struggling to score because we're missing two very good attackers. They can't score with their full strength team out. Plus, this new manager might be terrible and when the Potter effect weakens, they might drop down a bit.

Shout out to @Meenzertoo for having the minerals to start the thread.

Man up ffs.

Imagine being ribbed by CN

Lucky Fucker. I was ill as a dog and expecting the old usual heart wrenching late equaliser.

Burn is actually a pretty solid left back, but physics dictates that someone that big is not going to have the agility of all of the wingers he will come up against. Although Murphy does plenty of running he's too lightweight and indecisive to be effective defensively so together I think they're a slight defensive weakness. That has to be weighed against the benefit of having Burn out there for set pieces, both defending them and having them ourselves. At the moment you can't really argue with the results given we lead the league in fewest goals and most clean sheets, but there has been a good few times where we've ridden our luck down our left. At some point if Burn is shown up and we concede then it will open up for Targett to return as I think Eddie has full confidence in him also.

Can’t really recall watching us in the past and thinking at 1-0 we’re coasting to this victory. But that’s how it felt. Even with all that stoppage time. It was like Everton didn’t believe they could get anything. Having the best defensive record in the league us uncharted territory too. Like others have said, not exactly a classic but still a comfortable win.

Is that a steward there asking to see his ticket? Might take a while if it's in his pocket.

Hours from now, CT will be unable to raise a smile, wrapped up and immobile on the outdoor sofa/rats nest while the family keep up a constant supply of Bhuna and Lemsip.
