I'd settle for a basic shot on target at this point.

Not yet. Boro could have had Danny Ward between the sticks sitting in a deckchair reading a copy of The Beano, and they'd still be winning 2-0.

Is he on the wing, or is it 2 up top?

Terrible posture from KDH. He'll soon have a back like Richard III if he keeps slouching like that.

This is exactly what has happened. They'll throw the occasional bone to keep everyone sweet, but nothing more.

Not needed here under the current system. Doesn't want to be here under the current system. Forget about him. Just keep loaning him out until he's off the books.

Would Corberan, having been sent off in the first half, be allowed to give the half time team talk?

Absolutely class game between Kevin Painter and Jim McEwan.

Wednesday at home on a Tuesday? This should be...

Every little helps with FFP.

Agree. Being a lineman (offense and defense) requires an incredible amount of skill, technique and intelligence. If it didn't then we'd all be eating our way to 25 stone to earn NFL minimum wage. It's all about leverage, footwork and hand position and takes years of dedication to master. You'll often see the centre making line calls before the snap, making his fellow linemen aware of who might be blitzing, and possible twists and stunts by the defense. It's not just 'fat blokes falling on each other'.

Tbf he didn't miss it as such. It was blocked. Maybe he should have set it on a higher trajectory but it's an important distinction nonetheless - like when a keeper saves a penalty rather than the taker simply missing the target. As much as the Purdy fanboys won't want to hear it, and he certainly wasn't terrible, but the difference was the QBs. Mahomes simply outplayed Purdy, who had several opportunities to put the Chiefs away (particularly early in the 3rd quarter) but couldn't get it done.

Nah

Really sloppy first 15 minutes. Well crafted equaliser seemed to settle them down. Decent from then on.

The only comfort I take is that someone has to lose. The thought of smugfaced Jed York being presented the Superbowl trophy is just as nauseous as the whole Kelce/Swift thing.

Iversen's loan to Stoke has been a complete nightmare for him so far.

Currently watching a Jonny Hayes vs Tom Lawrence midfield battle in the SPL.

How did we get on to the subject of NHS dentistry?

Length of contract is the key issue. He's going to be 32 when next season starts. If he's happy to take a one-year extension, then I think we should do it. But I suspect he'd only accept a reduced wage if he had the extra security of a 3-year deal, which (imo) the club would be bonkers to offer. Maybe a compromise could be reached at 2 years.

The 18 year old lad breaking through at Besiktas, Semih Kılıçsoy, looks like a good prospect.

Same as with Iversen. Deemed not good enough with the ball at her feet.

Good job Chelsea recalled Casedei to aid his development by letting him rot on the bench in what must be a toxic environment.

And another direct from a corner. 2-0.

It was coming tbh.

Could've done without West Ham beating Arsenal.
