All the best, ladies. As always, knuckle down and we’ll get through to Boxing Day in no time

Saka out for “several weeks” with his hamstring injury apparently What a shame

Aye, I’m not a boxing know it all and I had a lot to drink last night but this was my read of it. Fury would spend a round throwing punches and then spend the next round fucking knackered

Lot of cheek firing from Gemmill, a man who used to use Tapatalk with a straight face

I’m going to this so adjust expectations accordingly. I did go to the Villa home game last year and that worked out well though

Pleasant afternoon. Shame that Burn’s didn’t count but can’t have many complaints there

I’d be hoisting Willock off here. On a day where we’ve been excellent, he’s been cack

And now here’s Kalvin Phillips to help

Murphy was sensational there. Made up for Isak to finally get that

He definitely had to prove he could find us in some consistency and address the balance of the team but he’s done that with aplomb in this last week.

This has to be the day where Isak gets his hattrick?

Isak deciding to sit the keeper down before tapping it in

That Murphy goal is one of my favourites for a while. No messing, laces through it off the bar and in. Lovely

We’re cutting them open at will when we get forward but it’s still only 1-0. Need that second one before HT at the very earliest

Fucking hell, Gordon

Classic “These are better than us so we’re going to pretend the ref is giving them all the decisions” newly promoted crowd here

Let’s just keep doing what we’re doing and pray nobody notices

Other than this being the League Cup, the final being in March and the games taking place in the middle of unprecedented fixture pile-up, it’s just like it

They’re just absolutely desperate for it to be the case tbh. Look at how much they called Ten Haag a good manager because he won a couple of pots while their league form tanked. They’re also absolutely blind to just how massive a job it is to turn that Man United ship round atm

The Father John Misty album has been on in here quite a bit recently and I feel it might be his most complete album. Vampire Weekend performed their new album fantastically when I went to see them last week. Lemon Twigs dropped another pitch perfect 60s pastiche that contains genuinely strong songwriting to stand out on its own. Can’t really think more atm but feels like it’s been a very consistent year across the board. Sure I have a general list somewhere hidden in my Google Drive. oh, was that Four Tet album this year? I had that on quite a bit during some sleepless weekend this year

Big fan of the lad flying straight in with a Christmas avatar

That was the Nolan hattrick where we did them 4-0 so that adds up. Before that, I couldn’t tell you when we won

We got fucking battered 3-1 down there IIRC. Sure Murphy, D scored

I heard they’re making Peter Rabbit transgender too

No Delap for them is a big boost. I could easily see him giving our centre halves a hard afternoon
