Something I hadn't noticed but look at Maxis chance in the first half. Van Dijk pushes him in the chest with both hands as he goes to strike.

Let's be mature about it. It was a sending off. Honestly, I like a bit of bias as much as the next guy but fuck me.

Alreet lads, i was just making a wider point about a goalkeeper being the last line of defence. Chins up and all that.

If we lose this game, it won't be because of our Goalkeeper. Besides which, De Gea has a rick or two in him.

It's unreal isn't it. Who the fuck does this guy think he is?... Nick Pope? One mistake and people are telling him how to be a keeper.

I love our Eddie but can't deny this guy is a class act. This is how an articulate, intelligent manager reacts to defeat. The fact he sees right through Emi Martinez tells its own story.

Yep, the usual suspects with very short memories. Complaining about the lack of investment in January is the best mind. it's as if some have been missing for the last 15 years.

Ronaldo embarrassing himself on every thread on this forum is quite something, especially since I only managed it on the traitors thread. When he got married and lost his virginity he was chilled as fuck and disappeared, almost makes me long for the days of Mike Ashley.

Perfect for next week.

Isak looked dangerous on the break with Maxi, so I'd start him but I'd be shocked if Wilson doesn't start. Maxi on form is a massive plus.

4th/5th in the league and in a cup final. I'm leaving this here for the whingers. Its disappointing, its frustrating, its annoying a couple more times but please fuck off with the over the top stuff. We are going places.

I'm actually more proud today than I was last weekend.

Who can I blame? I will blame Anderson because I'm a bairn and it makes me feel better.

Rafa is so cool man. You could totally understand him having loyalty to Liverpool but he just plays it nice.

Eddie seeing Anderson as a CM might have something to do with him playing CM TBF.

Nice from Eddie that.

Yeah that's a great shout. Nobby is doing soccer AM tommorow, so he could get the train up too. Would be class to see a generation of players there. Harper and Shola are easy wins for the club. Shays always knocking about. In fact, go and get Bernard from his pub in Blyth?

I still can't quite fathom how good he is. It's like the U9s have invited an U11 to play and their just bouncing off him. He's just so much bigger, quicker and physical than most (all) other midfielders. It's like the way people talk about Haaland bullying defenders, Joelinton bully's midfielders. If he had just a bit more killer instincts around the opposition box he'd be absolutely unstoppable but I'm more than happy the way he is.

If they don't know who keegan is.... they will after they have met him.

What a bizarre thing to say.

I think I'm in 531, on there.

Left on there I think.

Massive if we can get him back and let Joelinton go back out left.
