I'm at great danger of bringing on an error but I'm quite enjoying having Ciaran Clarke back in the side.

I for one certainly was not just thinking minutes before what is the point of this guy?

Good timing.

Nice passage of play and a well worked goal.

Probably best not to at the moment unless you're a big fan of Leeds.

Don't know what game you're watching, we're bossing this with 26% of the ball.

There must be an element with Joelinton of "if he gets injured it doesn't really matter". Looking forward to seeing a full game from Fraser, somewhat an unexpected selection for the wee lad from Bag End. Jamal Lewis absolutely flourishing under Brucey's stewardship.

And now, onto the premier league for the Manchester derby.

Gayle showing in his cameo why Joelinton will never be a goalscorer. League apart in terms of positioning and instinct.

Shame his best work came after he was subbed off.

Brilliant ball in from Murphy and nice header Gayle.

Excellent header from Gayle there, aware defending and good goal line clearance denied him a goal.

There's a reason it was only a rumour. But yes, tough to compare the expectations on a fullback at Newcastle versus Liverpool currently.

Bruce needs to change something up, we're terrible currently.

I really want to like Lewis, and I still want him in the side, but honestly I haven't seen anything from him that speaks to the price we paid.

Have to say they deserved that. Cracking finish it was too. Now to see whether we ca actually start playing again.

Shite end to the half. If we give them that much of the ball and that much time in the second half they'll get something from this game.

Whew, we almost played ourselves into an attacking position there before thankfully self correcting and passing it straight back to Darlow.

And we're one nil up after Joelinton laid it on a platter for Almiron who slotted home with less than a minute gone.

Karl, Krafth, Hayden, Clarke Ritchie, Shelvey, Longstaff, Almiron, Lewis, Joe, Wilson Disguised 5, 3, 2 with a 'we're not sick' makeshift central defense.

It's match time, insert some comments about it below thanks.

It doesn't have much in the way of guy eating food in foreign locations but if you can move beyond that The Queen's Gambit is a canny good watch on Netflix.

Don't think it makes you sound like a snowflake. I think the unity of this approach was part of the appeal - ie. Everyone doing it together regardless of your background or experiences. Of course certain people will feel more strongly about issues that may have affected them or those around them directly but if it's only those in that position it will become divisive more than inclusive. Even if some knackers are only doing it for show, better that than open up the potential for more ire and outrage over who is or isn't participating.
