Murillo has been outrageously good tonight. Anderson not far behind him

We somehow stay in fifth

Mad night of results here, all great games from the look of it. Hope we buck the trend with a boring 2-0 win tomorrow. No fucking about

His shock as well He must be the only bloke who doesn’t realise he’s a right dirty cunt

Must admit, I thought us beating Forest (I think they lost the game before that too?) would see them drop off but fair play, they’re getting better as the season goes

Palmer scores and Owen Hargreaves has spunktaenously combusted

Looking at Bournemouth’s bench, they do seem massively stretched. Hopefully it’s a 0-0 draw tonight against Chelsea and we can take advantage on Saturday

I agree with regards to injury to Isak, like. If we can do it all, I’d be trying to get someone in on loan because we all know Wilson’s February return date is about as likely as Richie Edwards nipping back to his old gaff for a change of clothes

Consistency is always the issue. If not for that dodgy run in the autumn, we’d be up there. FWIW, I think we’ll gradually improve the squad in smart ways, it’s just shifting some of the shit is proving nigh on impossible.

I’m sure the rules will be similarly lax if we try anything

Good lord, don’t get many of them to the pound

We have three current England internationals

It could be that Barnes is much better when he gets settled into the team and has a run of games but the quality of Gordon makes that look very unlikely unless the latter gets an injury. And he seems pretty durable up to now. It’s hard because he is a much better option off the bench than some other teams have but he probably also wants to start games.

Gemmill’s crippling lack of taste exposed again. Sad!

Oh my god stop. It’s like arguing with someone who thinks water is dry

Well, if they’d have turned up in numbers and supported their team yesterday, the “consideringly” lower opposition team could have been them again.

Consider this: be quiet

Thought we were shocking first half and, if Barnes isn’t injured, he’d have no excuses about being taken off as he was fucking shit. Likewise for Longstaff and Almiron. I know they’re in and out if the team and confidence is probably low but Longstaff was receiving simple balls to feet and his touch was fucking shocking. I don’t think we would have needed Gordon and co to win it but it was nice to have the option. Made up for Osula to get his first goal since he’s worked his socks off since he got here

I’m enjoying Silo, it’s just slower than last season. Will work better as a binge rather than week to week

That attendance yesterday is absolutely criminal, the more you think about it. Third round FA Cup tie on a Saturday afternoon against a team in the same division when your league form is going well. Surely, you’d want to get along and support them into the next round for a potential away day against an actual good team but no, time to sit in the house watching UK Gold and eating custard creams. Suppose when you can’t hand out 10,000 free tickets every week, things will suffer

Was saying similar to my lass last night about the TV choices. If Liverpool or Man City had to go away to Accrington or Salford, then fair enough but you’re basically just televising training matches on a Saturday. I know you can’t do much about the draw putting them at home but they’re even showing all PL ties when we can see that twice a season on the IPTV. Like everything else TV has touched, they’ve absolutely fucked it

Fucking seagulls flying all over the shop as well, man.

They were about 15 points clear before everything stopped

Fucking state of the crowd today. Only 2 stands open apparently and they’re already losing

I’ll be a bit disappointed when Alexander-Arnold goes to Real Madrid as I can’t get great pleasure from pointing out his shit defending and total lack of discipline anymore
