RUUUUUUUUUUD We shithoused the first 70 minutes of that, but we were a snapping, snarling counter-attacking unit at the end of the game. Amazing turn around in attitudes. Mads kept us in it, but there were some class performances tonight from players written off in here.

Lots for the new manager to work on. We are being overrun, and a rare clean sheet doesn't look likely. I think we need Skipp on. Facundo is a fabulously gifted player, and on his day he wins games, but he's having one of those "nothing comes off" matches. Hope he can turn it around. Bilal has put in an immense shift, probably further back than we would like, but has an assist and I've been impressed. The GOAT being just his usual GOAT self - scoring, scaring the crap out of them, harrying

So many of them wearing gloves COYB

People blaming Ruud for a selection they don't like two days into his tenure, with an injury crisis and during a woeful loss of form?

PULL MY FINGER

How have 2 x Man City defenders not been booked for dissent, there?

The passes between the centre backs for Salah to run in behind, yes. Except with us yesterday, it was mostly down our right, but Man City are being run behind down their left hand side.

Looking forward to administering a rough pasting to both of these over the Festive Sesson.

Seriously. I did not spot it until the 3rd or 4th time I saw it.

Booooooooriiiiiiiiing

I think Dawson will be omitting this one from his CV.

West Ham need that geezer with the flag to come and plant it on the centre circle.

Would quite like West Ham to get a right rough doing here, with their famously mardy fans booing before leaving the stadium on 65 minutes, and their players demoralised.

Arsenal's utter domination in this game so far reminds me of when they came to the KP a few seasons ago and were 2 nil up quickly without us laying a glove on them.

It was noticeable that Bobby DCR came on for some light jogging at the end and exercised his shoulders by shrugging a bit. Good for his fitness.

The smiling, after doing stuff that should haunt him, is beginning to grate.

Manager confidence will be interesting this week

Garbage. From selection to set up to application. Dawson taking the mickey. Brentford looked like Sixth Formers playing against a Primary School side, and their Schade seems to be a smooth operator.

I'm not blaming JJ as much because he's been asked to play as a wingback and his positioning might not always be totally his fault. Faes on the other hand. Wow. International player puts in [waves hand] *that* performance. Poor, but not unexpected.

Given the Ndidi has also played centre back, it could be 6-2-2.

Ah, the old 6-2-2

Anybody who hasn't seen this announcement and is aporoached is going to think:

No, I'm saying those who argue against assisted dying often suggest that instead of changing the law on it, we should work on and improve palliative care facilities. Not only would the government never be able to spend anywhere near enough on palliative care provision to make it a viable option for all, because there just aren't the resources. But also it seems to be really easy for rich people to suggest that dying people avail themselves of these mythical facilities, when they themselves won't be left dying in agony, misery and indignity, because the rich can afford to pay for the care (or the death) they want. Having watched slow painful cancer death at close quarters, frankly, even if there *were* some massive investment and guaranteed excellent, clean dignified hospice care for all, (which, remember is currently nowhere near hapoening) I would still want the option of supping the hemlock or whatever. IMHO, better to finish things sooner rather than later, and not have my hand patted by a dedicated nurse (even if it were on soft furnushings in a clean & dignified setting) while my insides nevertheless painfully consumed me. Millionaires can currently go to Dignitas. Why can't I have the same choice without leaving the UK?

Come on BHA, get a late one. Let's see Russell with that taste of cold sick face, just one last time.

Agree with the posts about ending suffering. I've seen awful, painful, undignified stuff and I have the firm intention to sort myself out sharpish, if I get told I'm on the way out painfully. Another point to add is that it's really easy to be in favour of maintaining the status quo, or working on it, if you have loads of money. If you are poor, you don't have many choices when the Hospice has no room. If you are poor you have to lump it when you are shoved into a packed ward full of screaming strangers in pain and without dignity, and when the hospital (fearful of breaking the law or being sued) prods and pokes you til near the end to see what's wrong instead of letting you slip away in comfort a few weeks earlier. If you are poor, you can't afford a ticket to Dignitas. Don't want to be assisted in dying on your own terms? Fine. But don't deny me that chance.
