Martinez's distribution is incredible

Eesh, Villa nearly go up the other end and score. Gonna need to score at least two more tonight...

Get in

Got away with murder there

Villa looking very sharp. Need to make sure we don't let them get a second.

Jammy.

He's been in my team for weeks so obviously I benched him now. I finally transferred Palmer out too so will enjoy his goal and assist later in the weekend.

*or get him in the team

Would be horrified if we sold Miley. I don't think we'd consider it but I'm perturbed by the gossip. It feels agent driven and if he's fussing about lack of game time then we need to get him out on loan. He can definitely feel aggrieved about being behind Longstaff in the pecking order, though hopefully that's just a means to an end.

Yes. It's very funny.

Yeah I think there's some trivia crossed wires there. I'm sure the thing about Wakefield is that it's the biggest city not to have a professional football team, or something.

Thought that was really good. "I've got me biscuits and TV shows. Shocking at football."

(Great sketch too)

Outrageously good looking man.

I was firmly in the 'prefer to be in the Europa League' camp and always have been, literally until last night. That competition looks to be on its arse as far as the winners go. Winning trophies means a lot less if you're the default favourites. If Bilbao win - and if say Betis win the Conference - my faith will be restored a bit. Probably a moot point anyway cos we're torpedoing our way to CL footy regardless.

Followed the mayhem on here last night but only just caught up on the highlights. Aside from my utter dejection at what's happening to that competition, my main thought about that game is: is this really where we're at with commentary now? Is that really what viewers want? And, if so, how many spikes am I allowed on the mace I'll use to batter them with? The slide to having club 'representatives' on comms has quickened a lot over the last few years but even the more obvious cases hold their professionalism to some extent. Last night felt like a shark jump. Any vague pretence of neutrality was utterly absent and it shouldn't be like that; it's basically not commentary any more. Made worse of course by the voices themselves. Not sure you could find two bigger melts than Ferdinand and Savage.

Aye, it's in all the shady bits. Feels like a hiding to nothing trying to deal with it.

To my shame I've never defeated moss. I scarified two years ago but it's all back again now.

Amazing noise when he saved it.

I agree with you; I've always preferred this competition, but the problem is that - certainly on the basis of this season - it's being undermined by various things now. Most of all the Premier League's financial strength, but secondly because of the format changes. The CL dropouts entering never felt 'fair' but it gave the competition that necessary gravitas and ensured there were teams capable of dispatching PL opponents (see Sporting and Sevilla a couple season's back). None of this takes away from Bodo's achievement in getting so far.

wot

Urghhhhhh

Just what the doctor ordered. What a fucking calamity. Joke club.

Holy shit come on!!

Sending a guy off for that, ffs.
