Wtf happens with us in the 3rd round? It doesn't matter what the level of competition is, we are utterly gash

I can't imagine the level of desperation Derby fans must be feeling now knowing that they're going from one shit owner to the next.

Poor bastards.

Surely all these linked players are just trolling is by liking their own transfer rumours? I'm loving the last week of noise though, it's just nice to be linked with everyone and anyone and not just Hamza Choudhury or Slimani on loan.

Does Trippier think he's doing this by Zoom so he only needs to get half dressed?

No announcement on the club feed. Do you think he's turned us down on seeing the wheelie bins?

We needed another striker anyway but we could do with a 2nd on a loan deal unless Eddie thinks he can get a goal out of Dwight.

If Longy has been offered as bait, it's going to stick in his neck if he doesn't go before January is out. I'd keep him for now and shell Hendrick instead. Of course if Jeff has kids in school he's going nowhere, is he Isaac?

Only 4 to go (at least)

Christian Eriksen anyone? Free agent and is looking to come back to England.

Geordie Fax machine engineers on standby to keep the thing going throughout the month.

Makes me feel very uncomfortable when I want Man Utd to win.

He would be a great start. He's got application and ability and while his wages might be high, what price to stay out of the championship? I'd take Auba on Loan if Arsenal wanted rid of him for the rest of the season, but I'd not want to buy him. Same goes for Alli. I'd rather buy Oxlade Chamberlain and Lingaard.

We need to drag Brentford, Leeds and Everton into that fight and hope Burnley don't get much out of their games in hand. Watford and Norwich look poor.

We ARE paper thin and we got away with it. The fact we have shipped so many goals this calendar year shows how shit Bruce was. The guy was a disgrace. Hopefully we can dig ourselves out of relegation but I think we need 4 players in - CB, LB, RB and a striker.

It's odd that last year we were dug out by Joe, and this year it looks like we might also be dug out by Joe, albeit the one who looked least likely to do so .

Joe has been incredible so far.

He fell out with Bruce, hence going on loan. Bruce fell out with both Longstaffs, not sure why Sean didn't end up with a move.

I think this round consists of those who have had it, those who have got it and those who will have it before the year is out. It seems like everyone has it at the moment, and it really isn't something to be concerned about.

I've been testing for the last week due to events, work etc. Started feeling ropey with cold, tired etc on Monday but still negative. Continued doing it and yesterday morning got an immediate positive. Checked twice and got same result. I've been to work for the last 3 days! I wouldn't have taken time off for this level of illness normally, but now I'm forced to.

Are you Ebeneezer? (Not Goode)

He looks like he's been smoking crack since he left.

Big Joe has really stepped up a couple of gears. He gets involved in the game, seems to have more confidence on the ball and his work rate has improved significantly since Howe arrived. Just odd that Willock and ASM seem to be going the other way.

Played better this half, frustrated them definitely.

It just fucks me off how far we are from them. It's like watching an FA cup game with some non league hopefuls. They get paid more a week than I do in a year yet they can't put a few passes together. It's fucking shambolic.
