OTF

It wears pretty thin on cold mornings when we have no posession or clue. Every now and then I am pleasantly surprised, but in this case that will need to be through one of the concurrent fixtures elsewhere. I do get some sort of mild perverse enjoyment from taking the piss in real time, but there's a limit to that - when we're hyper shit (such as against Man City) even that fails to provide any sort of consolation.

Hopefully they're in a generous mood or else this will be a complete and utter waste of time. Deapite this I will still be compelled through tradition and stupidity to watch at 1AM on a Monday morning, just so I can complain about it in real time.

Honestly the quality of the strip is defined by the team who play in it, if Ashley is still at the helm this will be our worst strip ever.

Utter nonsense, Bruce has taken us to a record premier league points total despite being loaded with the burden of a team who can't pass the ball, leak soft goals, don't know where they're supposed to be playing, always get injured, don't create chances, and look just plain dog-shit and completely clueless most of the time. It's just lucky we've got Brucie at a time like this.

All time classic match this, looking forward to the blu-ray release.

Watched to the end, it cut off before someone hurled a full bottle of stella at him unfortunately. What the fuck does that song have to do with anything?

Spotted: Glenn Roeder monitoring Dirk Kuyt playing pool with Tranquillo Barnetta at Namco Funscape.

Have to feel for Luke Edwards in this one. He'd have had to have waited for 25+ minutes to decide if he was watching this or not.

After doing his best to end his season through just not giving a fuck, Schar has had to resort to an injury to get the job done.

One thing that never shocks me is how ill informed and full of actual shite commentators are when it comes to us. Seems to be right across the board too, then I'm sure we only ever get the B teams.

That was a much better goal celebration from Kane.

*makes that fucking annoying noise*

You can definitely tell that he's trained with some quality players in the past. He's in the midst of one of his good patches, I'll write him off again when he reverts to type.

It's probably being slightly unfair, but when I look at Bruce I imagine his thinking is along the lines of Homer Simpson.

Joelinton warming up, they'll be shitting themselves about him coming on said no one ever.

Harry Kane's celebration is fucking gash

Add another NUFC assist for Sissoko.

Not in England commonly, but you do see the quality of spraying the ball about with accuracy in some of the better sides. Historically Gerrard was a player with exceptional ability on the ball. I agree that you won't see interest from top sides which is down to temperament and consistency.

Pack of cowards.

I think if he was in a good competitive side you'd see the best of him far more often. The best of him brings a dimension that other players, even very good ones, don't have.

He's caught in an any interaction is good loop that has the net result of presenting his intelligence and social awareness being on par with an early teenage troll.

TBH in this one they're not that aggravating because apart from a pretty lucky finish they've been largely dreadful.

You could do with having him out there if you have the quality elsewhere to maintain posession and to make something of the chances he'll create.

Unlucky for Gayle there.

At our level you can get a fullback who has a maximum of two out of the following characteristics: - Good in defense - Good in attack - Fast - Good variety of hair styles and tattoos
