The Bear

Anyone's this now. Great stuff.

I can see Man Utd eventually binning Amorin and throwing big money at Southgate to bore them to safety.

It's just pressure and expectation. It must be incredible to bear at such a young age. He's coped ok throughout the year because he's still emerging. But when you get to an event like this and you see the bloke who beat you in the final last year get knocked out, can you imagine the weight of it all on your shoulders? Plus these longer formats suit him I think. Seems to get better and better the longer he's out there.

Believe.

God knows

Nothing is decided yet. There's still half a season to go and only 3 points separating 16th to 19th.

They're still 8 points clear of it with GD. They'd sack the manager again before they got too close.

Ryan Joyce deffo looks like Luke Littler's Ghost of Christmas Future.

I watched all of those on Plex. There were loads of episodes! Loved Nigel Bruce as Watson and Rathbone was good, if a little over confident and stylish for the book version of Holmes.

I hate wooden floors with a passion. My next door neighbour has them throughout and you can hear him clomping about constantly. Carpets FTW.

He can point and shout all he likes but if Vestegaard is too slow to get there it's not much use. At Wolves he had Boly and Saiss either side of him who weren't slow. Playing in a two is a lot harder than sitting back and sweeping up in between two guys in a three as well.

Good idea. I'll leave you lot to your bitterness for the night.

Shameful comment from a supposed football fan.

RVN chose to play Ward over the other guy. I've already covered Cunha.

Shame on you.

How so?

Cunha off with a knock at HT. Can't see us getting much out of this game.

That's got nothing to do with luck. Blame the FA. We're deservedly behind any way. We had to reshuffle our own defence with Dawson coming in and Bueno to LCB who doesn't look comfortable there at all. Both goals have come from that area.

Justice. Sa saves a penalty which should have been a foul to us. Yet VAR don't want to get involved. VAR are just a bunch of cowards nowadays, as I've mentioned before. Not just today.

Absolutely painful trying to watch this Nebrida guy. I'll be glad when he's out.

The crowd at this tournament really is tedious every year. The same boring 3 songs over and over and over and over and over. Every. Single. Session.

Just illustrates how well people don't understand xG. 0.69 is almost equivalent to a penalty kick and a very likely goal. xG (expected gash) after a loud smelly dump is probably 0.05 at best. Especially if the bathroom is en suite.

I don't know about underperforming. We were averaging almost 3 goals conceded per game.

Public transporter pads can't come quick enough IMO. When we have that sort of energy and data analysis available to make them work that is. Certainly not for a couple of hundred years at least. Would be awesome though, if you ignore the moral and ethical implications of such technology that is.

The issue is it's a Misconduct charge, not a Violent Conduct incident. So that obviously takes longer to sort out as with Bentacur and Gibbs-White previously. This. We've had a couple of good games and look a lot calmer and composed as a team defensively, but we've still got a tough run of fixtures coming up and we'll no doubt lose Cunha for 5 games or so (like Kudus got). Hopefully from our pov one of those will be the FA Cup so he will miss one less league game. All depends how quickly the FA get their fingers out really. You have to remember that we're only just coming up to the halfway point of the season and a lot of things can change in that time with injuries, suspensions and manager changes.
