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

Last night showed that, once more, to beat Liverpool, you have to also beat the ref so I’d rather not have that to contend with at Wembley as well. The deck doesn’t need stacked higher

What a bunch of spoiling, anti-football bastards they are. Still, a cakewalk in the end. Our left side is absolutely lethal and Tonali is the absolute daddy

As an aside, it’s crazy how so many uber talented young players taper off in their late 20s these days. Alli, Rashford, even Sterling to an extent. By product of playing so many games at such a young age? I’d add Sancho but he’s even younger and time seems to suggest he was a flash in the pan

Perfectly poised for us to nip in and win the Carabao against some leggy sides. So knowing us, Isak and Bruno will have injuries in the post

Finish at 6 tonight, quick change of clothes and into town for it. And I cannot be fucking chewed

From The Football League Paper but that can’t be right as apparently he’d be putting Gordon out of the England squad by now?

Aye, it was something else. Poor lad has spent all day sleeping apparently so he’s obviously been frightened and stressed wherever he was. Chinese has been bought and then I’m going to bed for 12 hours

Aye, the little cunt strode down the drive at half 6 this morning like nothing happened Luckily, my lass was looking out the window at the time and clocked him. She opened the front door and he darted back in. I’ve got a feeling that he was just over the road, either under one of the cars that hadn’t moved in two days or bunkered into someone’s overgrown garden. He’s spot on though. He was obviously anxious since he darted right in and then when he seen me, he sprinted at me for a head scratch. He’s had his tea and now he’s been asleep since half 7. We haven’t slept a wink so I’ve just had 4 hours there and managed to get a half day in to start later. The other cat is still a bit skitzy with him but she probably just needs to sniff his arse a couple of more times. To say I’m relieved is an understatement
