Brainy

Apologies if that's tongue in cheek but that's absolute bollocks

5 big games this season, bottled 3 of them from winning positions, didn't turn up to the other and if I can put a dampener on the only one we've won, it came at such an early stage of the season that it didn't really matter. Hmm

I just don't get on with this one for some reason. Pretty much always use the same tactic which has done me well for years and that continued in my first game in Israel. Cannes was alright but a struggle for different reasons, but Guingamp was shite with a really good squad, got sacked halfway through the season though I did turn into Brendan Rodgers after about 10 games and was gagging for the sack. They got relegated, joined Bastia which was a small step up from Guingamp also in League 2. Just can't get anything to work. Started a new game in Scotland with Stenhousemuir. Came 2nd in the League Cup Group Stage (should have been 1st really), with a notable and somewhat deserved win away at Motherwell. League season started okay then I go and lose 6 on the trot. Just cbf with it

Gap is already 6pts in my head so anything better in 6 hours time is a bonus. Pressure is all on them though, it's still something of a free hit for us. I'll start being concerned if we lose tonight then drop points at home to QPR

Only thing to be seen is how much other teams have caught up which you can not tell as of yet, as it certainly seems Red Bull haven't cocked up their car (and why would they have with no major rule changes)

And they will always pass off downright reckless as entertaining. This brand of cricket will do alright but the blind optimism and lack of responsibility on days like today will continue to irk me

What's more infuriating is that I initially put chasing 555 before thinking nah, that's far too many

Looking forward to us capitulating to 120 all out chasing 500 in 140 overs, all in the name of entertainment. If we can come out of this game with a draw it will be a fantastic result, especially with the series in the balance right now. Unfortunately "a draw" is not in this teams vocabulary which, in some scenarios is fine... Here you're just consigning yourself to not being able to win the series. Especially with the India squad so depleted I'd be pretty disappointed when we don't look at the bigger picture that this is a winnable series if we just hang on in there this test.

On the plus side we have to play both these teams and they weren't impressive

Touchy I'm more than aware he didn't do much good when he came on. Just find it amusing at the time of looking that his cameo seemed to be the main talking point from the match. Though probably goes to show how normalized winning has became for us

So tonights hot topic after another routine win is how bad was a guy's 10 minutes cameo when added to a team playing in 2nd gear all half

In my mind it still just comes down to just not getting sin binned it will only dampen the experience for fans of the team who are a player down. Doubt the other fans would care. I do get what he means but again, a player gets a traditional red card and generally that team goes defensive, no one moans about that?

Could just not abuse the ref then??? As said above though I don't agree with blue cards for tactical fouls

I like it for dissent, not for the actual football aspect of things though

Swear Forest are on Sky every week

You'd be lying if you said he's done anything less than a good job this season, but any manager who does that Klopp shit to his fans at the end of games can get in the bin IMO

I know what he's done but I'm not telling any of you, I just want to let you all know that

No word of a lie I have seen that badge once before and it was in the Praet thread, similar opinion too

What people always fail to realise when they say we're 1 injury away to so and so is that this applies to every single other club in this league. Also an injury to Winks for example, as horrific as the prospect is, does not turn us from likely record breakers to relegation fodder.

Headline stories from deadline day are a Chelsea reserve going on loan to a midtable side and a free agent going to Asia. Sky must have had the month off trying to flog "best of the rest" players to the big 6

I mean I can't say I studied it, nor recall anybody questioning dodgy limbs in the posts afterwards

What was that picture of Sensi in the black kit earlier? Was it just a photoshop?

That Asha kid will be crying in his sleep tonight, even if his character does appear to have gone full circle on him

Out for a month with arm ache
