Mmm I’m not ready to call him out yet, I think we’ve been in all three games. Does need to be bolder though.

Boos definitely for the referee.

These are so ****ing beatable, get at them

Ball’s hit the useless twat ref again

Villa deserve nothing from this, they’re absolute trash. So so lucky.

You know who else is shite? Villa. They’ve been absolute dross.

Ref has had a very very poor game.

Can we have some ****ing cards for them ref

Think if you’re dropping a centre mid here it’s Winks, so poor.

Fannying around at the back.

He surely had offers to continue, he must have decided he was ready to finish. Suspect he has a decent coaching career.

Absolutely have to play the first team tonight, aside from anyone who has obvious fitness issues (Vardy). Need to get minutes, unity and confidence into them.

You can get registered with the GP as a formal carer and this should open doors for you, potentially even with your current employer. There’ll be a local carers support network that can help you, in Yorkshire it’s called Carers Resource but have a look at what’s in your area.

The quality of the analysis on MOTD this season is really very good.

Disallowed

Think they've got a decent squad honestly, no more than mid table but I expect they'll be well safe. Let's go Shithouse FC. RE: Soumare - sort of hoping we're just using him during the transfer window to make it clear he's "fit" and tempt a club in to take him.

No, yes.

Suspect Skipp goes straight in alongside Winks.

Maguire was good for us but never brilliant, his limitations were clear in my opinion. He merited a move to a bigger club but not as a marquee signing and club captain. His level was always upper Prem with modest ambitions in Europe and a decent England career.

Aye he’s fine in a lower block. We really should have played a low block the season we went down. We’d have stayed up, all we had to do was shithouse a few more points.

What Chelsea is doing is a disgrace. As far as I can tell from reading around the topic, what Chelsea does boils down to the way PSR treats transfer fees, in and out. The way that fees in count in one go but fees out are considered over the duration of the contract. So what they're doing is stockpiling players to use to sell for upfront fees to other clubs and then bringing new players in on long contracts, essentially pushing their transfer outlay further and further down the line in terms of PSR consideration. It's manifestly corrupt and it's a poor way to treat human beings, as if they're trading cards to stockpile and swap. I do see it as something the players themselves need to tackle though, the PFA really ought to be organising a pushback against it because it's a matter of time before a young player comes to serious emotional harm from being abused in that way.

Who’s paying you to be an apologist for the rich? They’re perfectly capable of looking after themselves. The idea that the poorest in our society are the ones distorting our economy and dragging the rest of us down is nonsense propagated by the ultra wealthy to maintain the status quo. The beneficial effects on society of a robust welfare system and sound public infrastructure have been demonstrated time and again and the fallacy of trickle-down economics firmly rebuffed. The reality is there is more than enough wealth to level the playing field and it’s being hoarded by a small minority who largely make their money from the labour of others, sequester it in ways that are economically inactive and then often largely live on credit, leveraged against their egregious wealth, so they don’t have any liquid capital to be taxed. To be clear, the problem here is exploitative wealth. A professional who works 48 hours a week for a high five to low-six figure salary is not breaking society and existing mechanisms already extract a good amount from them. We’re talking multi-millionaires and billionaires. Corporations that endlessly raise prices and lower quality to maintain perpetual “growth” and maximise dividends whilst pretending wage rises are inflationary. Celebrities and their entourages who have to gouge fans for tickets to ensure there’s enough millions to bloat the bank accounts of their middle men. Businessmen and women who hoard their wealth in tax havens to evade tax. All of this in the name of “growth” which grows numbers on a spreadsheet but does absolutely nothing to nourish society. I genuinely wouldn’t know where to begin fixing it. The tools they’ve got to suppress dissent are so many. But a good start would be to stop Joe Public fighting their battles for them with this kind of nonsense.

If we had the money I’d absolutely take McTominay for £30m. I don’t think we do though.

- The merest suggestion we may actually have a bit of bottle. We kept our heads despite being absolutely battered and created enough chances to say we just about deserved to get something from a game we were clearly inferior in. - Hermansen confirms he’s a good enough shot stopper. Distribution not great tonight but I doubt he was asked to play out much. - Faes and Vestergaard came through the game largely unscathed, don’t think either really did much wrong. - Fullbacks showed flashes of the capability to take us forward in the second-half. - Midfielders were ran ragged but had the legs to stay in the game and even control it for 20-25 mins in the second half. - When we had the ball Fatawu and Buonanotte showed they have the ability to trouble defences. Buonanotte in particular a clear standout player in both halves. - McAteer’s work-rate was really helpful in seeing the game out and I like Mavididi as an impact sub, although I can’t help but think he’s better than DCR - Vardy - Vardy - Vardy - Vardy - Vardy
