    Joe Willock

    My guess would be until first sub i.e. starting eleven. Their first sub was on 61 according to BBC and ours 65, so there is a four minute offset there albeit not matching up with the 64/68 in the graphic.
  2. I said this at the time too - couldn't believe they didn't pull the trigger after Chelsea. I know someone who's worked with Rafa and apparently he (Rafa) was adamant that had he had those extra two games and the time before them to work with the players (rather than starting with Champions-elect Leicester with little prep time, and three away games from the first four) he'd have kept us up.
  3. Not read all the previous posts but anyone else think Bruno isn't moving so well after kicking Merino's studs?
  4. Isak not squaring it to Big Joe was poor, but the loss of possession on their winner was just as bad. He's been really poor (not the only one) this season. He's arguably cost us four points in the last two games
  5. Maybe I've got this wrong, but if Tony Bloom 'wrote off' his investment to mitigate the interest payments and fall into line, what's to stop the PIF giving us a 'loan' and then writing it off? Would this not equate to just ploughing cash into the club?
  6. Don't think so, but I'm assuming it was when he got his foot stood on in the first half v Wolves.
  7. Haven't we beaten them the last six times out, four of which were away? In fact we've won our last five at their place, including the cup.
  8. Probably just a coincidence at this stage but all four of our second half goals this season have come between the 75th and 80th minutes. Barnes should really have put his last minute chance away though and I suspect we might have had another chance or two on the break had we had a sub left to throw Osula on for Hall when they were committing men forward in stoppage time.
  9. Tony was the guy on the left greeting them - he's usually there on the tunnel/dressing room videos.
  10. I always class that period as the Keegan/Waddle/Beardsley era. Now I've nowt against Peter Haddock, but that was a bit of a random one to throw in. πŸ˜‚
  11. Yep, me too. I actually cheered that goal as it gives the draw a chance. Feel if Villa scored first it could have got away from Everton the way it started.

    Fabian SchΓ€r

    Came here to say the same. πŸ˜‚
  13. I looked at Krafth and Livramento and they were both around the 350 days mark from injury to playing return. Perhaps Botman's wasn't a full rupture but December would still be exceptional quick for a return (based on that admittedly small sample).

    St James' Park

    I suspect the percentage of Man City/Arsenal might be lower than the other two mentioned as they've witnessed success in their new stadiums. West Ham would be an interesting one. That's arguably the worst move.

    Jamal Lewis

    With that sleep pillow it looks like we've flown him in economy. Well done Darren πŸ‘

    Anthony Gordon

    Dead balls were decent, apart from that last free-kick. His best work today was winning free-kicks and relieving a bit of pressure towards the end. Barnes looks the more productive of the two at the moment though.
  17. The same as for Barnes if Isak had squared the earlier one (I'll forgive him)…
  18. Because when you gift them the ball in your own half they break quickly and are fairly clinical. We're doing that 5-10 times a game at the moment.
  19. Saw that - early goal (5 mins?). Into the second qualifying round now with the National League North and South guys. Fancy a Hebburn v South Shields draw?
  20. Excellent for Gateshead. Top of the league clash and won it with ten men. Thought they were done for when Allan got sent off and Eastleigh equalised straight after.
  21. Sooooo close to Barrow again. We're never gonna play them in my lifetime it seems. Still, I'll take that, albeit away again. Think that's now over 250-1 for eight consecutive away draws?
  22. Was quite funny watching Andy Walker on Sky Sports at Barrow, thinking he was at Carlisle all night. The whole night they went to him he was talking about Carlisle - never mentioned Barrow once until the pens (someone must have had a word by then). Someone on Twitter caught one of the best ones:
  23. Isak, Wilson, Bruno plus others. We'd played Man U, Arsenal and Dortmund in the three games (11 days) preceding it.
