Knew it

But it wasn’t a goal scoring opportunity - it was Mavididi going through

Was just slating Mavididi for messing up the previous break and then that happens! It should help. Should.

What is this strange concept of which you speak

Yesss, Fatawu avoids a red. Gerrimm away from the bench just in case!

Got enough notepads there guys, it looks like a waiters convention

I knew it. Begovic, infamous time waster of years past falls foul of the new rules

I need another 7 pints!

I think “Skipp” does it, a metaphor for “anonymous ambling bloke who looks like a stressed 45 year old plumber in a football kit”

How much longer…..until we see Monga ?

But what a goal it was, well worth the other 49 blanks and every penny of his salary since then

Fatawu meant that, he targeted their left back

Quality ref, been saying so all night

Does Rudkin ever sit and wonder why none of the likes of Burnley, Leeds or Wolves saw the likes of Faes, Skipp, Winks, DeCordova-Reid, Soumare, Daka, Kristianson or Vestergaard as viable options to help keep them in the Premier League, going against his opinion when he recruited them that they were good enough for that? Wages and “no better than what we have” would be the answers and the level of transfer fee we may be asking / need to ask. Justin was identified by Leeds as squad cover, one registration who can play in multiple positions and our promising keeper went to West Ham. We’re stuck with the others on bloated salaries with little sign of that changing in January, maybe Faes will find a loan with it being a World Cup year (can’t cope with Championship opponents but eyes are fixed on World Cup standards!) The question in response to Marti’s comments is “why do we have so many” and that should be being discussed daily in the boardroom with the person responsible for recruiting them in the first place. But you don’t HAVE TO. use them Marti. Hard to manage those numbers, hard to run training sessions, possibly, hard to keep everyone happy - well that’s deserved the moment they stopped chasing, straining to block crosses or get their bodies in the way.

Yes it is

Following the first relegation there were claims that there would be a root and branch investigation into everything including I presume recruitment / contracts / wages. Mistakes had been made, identify them, draw a line in the sand then say “never again”. Fast forward a year, with every penny needing to count a huge slice of our budget goes on Skipp. For such a fee and contract that player should be integral to our side week in week out but look at it now, one thing Marti has got right is his assessment that he’s a championship sub who you don’t even use in rotation when you’re on an awful winless run. So for me it’s Skipp, it was one we had to get right and came after the alleged deep analysis of past mistakes.

There’s a strong case in this “system” to not bother with one, pick an extra body say Mavididi (with Monga Left Wing), to float around as a false 9. After all, we’ve been playing with a false 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10 & 11 already!

When she replaced our cuddling profile picture on facebook with one of her cat. Oh, with City? years ago. Conceding 2 in 3 minutes, twice just days apart (Spurs at home, Forest away in cup) the leadership and standards were non existent and have remained so since.

Reminds me of Wayne Clarke, anonymous, not involved in the game but reliably informed / rumoured if a chance comes his way he’ll score. We used to call him corner flag because they had a similar amount of movement.

But Rudkin will still enter through the sewers like all the other rats

And there’s a lot of crumpet at the start of Allo Allo “Reneeee’”

I’ll drive him there. And I don’t drive but I’ll girrit a go.

The bit where he dropped his shoulder and ran at / into four Blackburn players Mate, you’re not 1986 Maradona, you’re a competition winner with long legs.
