audience of one and it's the guy in the mirror, Mike.

TV out the window the next time they first name that daft Greek criminal Maguire.

Well done Elanga. Had a canny game aside from those two daft crosses.

Always go back to an incident back in the 09/10 promotion season where Lovenkrands went down under a challenge from the keeper. Keeper didn't actually touch him, but didn't get the ball and clearly impeded Lovenkrands despite not touching him. We got a pen and it didn't feel wrong, though maybe a bit harsh on the goalie seeing as there was no contact. That was similar. Lammens doesn't get near the ball but clearly prevents Ramsey from doing as he intended. It's not really a foul, it's not really a dive, just crack on without making a game-changing decision.

If we never scored I think every game we played would finish 0-0.

Meh

Would love it if people would get off Gordon's back for a bit. Another big night from him so far.

Don't miss bonny lad

Absolutely exceptional from Gordon. Really stepping up again tonight.

Penalty

It's hardly simulation. Don't think he's tried to con the ref at all.

Ramsey sent off. Cool.

Mbeumo misses a sitter. Ergh come on lads. Please have some quality

Joelinton has been 3/10 and 8/10

Hall owning Mbeumo so far

So frustrating.

Didn't think that went out, assume they'll probably score

Good foul from Ramsey. Shut up McCoist you annoying div.

Good God Elanga's crossing.

A lot of fart so far. Dying for a shit.

Incredible let off. Feel that Tripps is probably gonna have a rough night.

As long as we sign a proper number one I could live with it. We do need a backup goalie and I'd be happy to say so long and fare well to Popey at this point; feels like he's run his race here.

Why? I still look through a lot of things through the "it's not the Ashley era any more" lens. Would highly recommend tbh.

My impression of Verbruggen is that he's a classic shithouse of a goalie that's always made a big contribution to them fucking us over at SJP. No idea how good he is really because I go out of my way to avoid that club, but our next signing for that position has to be absolutely spot on. Brighton are a bona fide talent farm so no beef in principle with us shopping there. A quick glance at their forum seems to suggest the prices being quoted re Bayern and (surprise surprise) Chelsea are tempting, but they do fucking love selling players.
