Think I’d rather Newcastle lose to Brighton and have heaps of pressure on them. Without pressure they’ll just do what Fulham did to us. Want them nervous.

Even if we somehow put up an 100% park the bus defensive masterclass and constantly throw bodies in front of goal bound efforts we get done by a huge refereeing decision that only scousers will agree with. Liverpool are on a march to European football and no way we shit house a result against them like last season. The VAR boys will stop that.

What a stupid comment.

Just a shame our best two full backs are so injury prone. He’d be fine as back up to them.

We must be due to score first. These are terrible. Get in front and blow them away to the championship.

The scenes had he not strayed offside for that second. Would have been carnage.

Shouldn’t be starting again this season. I’d rather Daka as a wide option on either wing than him or one of the mid field lads who ain’t starting.

I just know their keeper is going to have an absolute Worldy if they don’t drop him. He’s made Danny Ward look good in recent games. Tonight he makes save after save.

If he starts very game he probably a 18-20 goal a season striker.

He’s shite tbf. Get rid. But we probs stuck with him on massive wages.

Make him captain and sign him up.

Massive win. First win by a single goal all season and without our top two scorers.

That World Class core of Montoya, Wiese and Pollard is the key. All three of them were missing at a couple of stages during the season and now they are all back firing the difference is enormous. With the quality England players back now we are going to be an extremely hard side to beat. Sale won’t want to be playing us in the play off semis.

Couldn’t really form an opinion on him on Saturday as we defended well and he didn’t really have a save to make and was unlucky with the goal. He doesn’t look particularly comfortable on the ball when we are passing it around close to our goal but didn’t make a stupid error so can’t criticise him really for that. Having had a traffic cone in goal for most of the season I’m quite happy to see him given a fair crack.

We need to learn to win ugly. We just don’t win by the odd goal anymore. We only win well. Relegation battles are about scrapping and nicking points you sometimes probably don’t deserve. When was the last time we got a shit house win.

4-0 to Leicester.

The dangers of running down your contract.

Really seeing the class now that Pollard brings at 10. Given that, barring himself and maybe Harry Potter who would be first choices, he’s got a lot of first choice backs to return to play with him soon and he’ll look even better.

On top of that I’m not sure the offside line is entirely straight. Doesn’t look 100% parallel with the penalty box. Maybe an optical illusion but looks further away towards the bottom.

These situations are ridiculous in top class sport in 2023. Imagine the same happening in football. The situation is made worse in that we also went several weeks without a game earlier in the season with the two clubs going bust when we had access to our England contingent. Surely time the fixture list is overhauled.

I watched the last five mins or so of the Villa losing to Stevenage match yesterday on Betfair. They had crown noise without any commentary. It was how I like it best. The crowd noise but no voice overs. Shame Sky and BT etc don’t have that option.

Try about 90% pal. I think you’ve walked into the covid freaks who still believe all the bull we’ve seen over the past three years or so.

I hope the Rugby is a good game. Will help me to forget the football is on.

Shows the depth of the squad nowadays. I know the Welsh regions aren’t as strong as in the past but to go there without so many first choices and to win was something we’d have never been able to do pre Borthwick era. Even with all the changes though we still looked a strong team on paper.

I’ve long said that their adverts should either say, if you are shown to be unprofitable to us we will ban you. The other option to this in order to get a license there should be a minimum bet they have to accept from whoever. I’m one of thousands who are forever using third party accounts in order to get around the stupid restrictions they impose. Yet start playing the casinos and you’ll be given the Royal treatment from them and offered all sorts of bonuses. I’ve had new accounts opened and I have purposely spent a month or two building a mug profile on a new account to make it likely to last longer when the real bets are going to be placed. Playing casino games. Taking poor odds on horses that I know are bigger prices elsewhere. Betting on obscure late night sports. All to make the account look ideal to them. Even I was amazed at some of the offers I had.
