Big Geordie

Looks back to his 'box-to-box' self, over the last few games. Was excellent tonight, 2nd only to Hall. More please, Jo.

Best player on the pitch today. He was terrific.

Too soon to write off - he needs a good run in the side, given he missed out on pre-season and then picked up the injury. He will be ok

Disappointing to lose tonight, but we competed well and didn't really get the run of the ball when it mattered. Again - Hall and Big Jo were outstanding. :thup: Players have made huge efforts over the last week or so - no shame in this.

Still in it. 👍

Looking like a game too far for us tonight, which I feared it could well have been,

We’ve done well - playing the right way against this lot. Hall been terrific, as has Big Jo. 👍

The prices.

Nigel Clough returning to one of his previous clubs (as a manager) Now 3-1

Portsmouth 1 Arsenal 4 Martinelli (hattrick)

Portsmouth 1 Arsenal 3 Martinelli bags his 2nd

Derby 1 Leeds 2 Tanaka

Derby 1 Leeds 1 Gnotto with a raker

Kicking off a bit at the final whistle.

Want to compete - this is what you have to deal with. There's time for the club to get a couple of bodies in on-loan to bolster squad depth - maybe's some loans?

Thomas Frank next for the 'ol heave-ho?

Will be in the full England squad before long. So calm and assured - belies his years.

I know he divides opinion on here, but I like the lad - if I'm honest. Some super stops for the pens.

Another mad game! Always like Newcastle United to put us through the wringer. This is a really good win and against a bogey team as well. Ramsdale with some superb stops in the shoot-out.

Wayne Rooney sounding really emotional when talking about his brother (manager of Macc)
