Were Derby really worse than these? They’re absolutely honking.

Have a good one tonight! Nice one, man. My wife and I are flying to London for an extended weekend in October and it happened to be when The Libertines are playing Roundhouse, so had to bag a few tickets for that. First time I'll be seeing them live

It’s frustrating. It’s raw. But I honestly think we will be fine. Tonight we completely bossed the in-form team in the league for 80 minutes. We had a perfectly good goal disallowed. We missed mega chances. The latter is on us, but I think my point still stands. Had they rolled over us and won 4-0, I’d be way more worried. They got three goals from a mistake, a double deflection and a deflection. It’s a huge stroke of luck, really. Having said that, it is alarming that we always tend to do this. We throw it away. When they scored, I was 100% sure that they’d score again. It seems to happen time and time again, and that’s why I absolutely can see why people think we’re soft and weak. But in terms of the bigger picture, I just cannot see us bottling this. Not based on how we played for the majority of tonight’s game .

Been saving this absolute bucket list of a beer for a special occasion. Tonight seems fitting. Come on lestahhhhhh!!

Burnley are poor but Man City are clearly getting to the point where they will dominate the rest of the season. KDB is just too good. Gonna be scary when he actually gets to play with that big Norwegian lad

It’s the post of a 5-star man that’s what it is.

Loved Yuki. For me it's Neil Danns. Remember his rubbish app or whatever it was? He was always banging on about it and I even remember one game he had "Spitter2" on his undershirt in the EFL font

Decent dipa for New Year’s Eve. Have another Soma in the fridge for the football later

Couple of mates of mine make these beer advent calendars every year, so it’s been 24 days of sensational beer for me. DIPAs from the US, Cantillon lambics, barrel-aged stouts etc. Not gonna lie, it feels kind of empty now that it’s over, but probably a good thing really int it

Great player and seems like such a character too. Needs to work on his decision making but that’ll come as he develops. A really promising talent and I hope we sign him permanently!

Got away with one there Fatawu. Mind you KDH was onside at the beginning of the second half. Firm believer that all that stuff evens itself out

I know we think they’re annoying but it’s a hell of a season they’re having for a promoted side. Fair play to them.

Villa looking brilliant against City. Such a scoop for them getting Emery. I’m happy we have Enzo, but I think we could’ve picked up Emery if we’d have sacked Rodgers around the time Villa sacked Gerrard.

Tonnes of snow in Denmark these days and the big fella is loving it. Having a dog is a huge responsibility but honestly most the time it’s like therapy. They’re just the best.

Pokemon Let’s Go is very accessible for kids that age. I’d imagine that’d be a huge hit if he’s into Pokémon. Apart from that, Mario Odyssey, Mario 3D World and Mario Wonder are all excellent games (even for adults) where you can co-op your way through the adventure. I think the latter two even have characters that can’t take damage, which makes it a bit more accessible for kids.

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2023/231108.html didn’t know where to put this… live-action Zelda film in development. I want to love the idea but I simply can’t see how it can be any good

Spurs’ high line is an amazing watch at the moment. Fair play for not parking the bus!

Right, on Saturday evening the kids are out, wife is out, so it's a rare evening in on my own. I've already got the beers in and I was hoping Viaplay Denmark would show the match, but they're showing Cardiff-Norwich instead I'll be on my way home during the match, so can anyone who's purchased a one-match thing on FoxesHub tell me if you can rewatch the full video feed after the match is finished? Or is it only available live? Also, if you have any tips on how the hell to navigate lcfc.com to find said video without having the result spoiled, please share

No. VAR does a lot of things right but I don't like not being able to celebrate a goal like mad as soon as it hits the back of the net. For me, that little delay takes away the immediate joy and relief of celebrating a goal - arguably the best thing that can happen during a football match. Casadei's winner against Cardiff the primary example I can think of this season. It was so nice knowing that no idiots in a little caravan were gonna examine it to death. Iheanacho vs Everton a few seasons back is probably the counter argument to this, since VAR pretty much gave us that moment. But as I said, it does a lot of things right, but ultimately, it's not for me. As Stan said, don't implement it throughout until the Premier League have got it right.

More points between us and Leeds in 3rd than between Leeds and Rotherham in 22nd

Disagree with this. I think the two scenarios are more or less incomparable. First of all, the difference between 4th and 5th meant different competitions which affected potential contract extensions, the calibre of players we could attract and brought in less money. Not to mention how it shattered the players to go through that experience two years in a row. If we finish 2nd this season, we will basically win the same prize as 1st, apart from a nice trophy we’ve already won 7 times before. We would probably still be a more attractive PL proposition for potential incomings than, say, Ipswich given our facilities, recent history and probably finances. If Ipswich beat us to the title, I can’t see it affecting the players’ mentality or confidence one bit as long as we achieve our main target of promotion. I get that we have the best squad in the league, but Ipswich are a quality side too and they’re potentially only 2 points behind us after their games in hand. Do I want us to obliterate this league and break all the records? Yes, of course. But I’d 100% snap your hand off for 2nd right now and I wouldn’t even remotely compare finishing 2nd this season to blowing CL qualification in 2021.

Only a couple of levels in but yeah it seems pretty cool. Very creative!

Just a heads up for anyone interested. Nintendo will reveal their new console today at 3pm UK time. I'm a massive sucker for Mario and Zelda, so I'll end up buying the console regardless.
