Blackadder worthy.

That was my point - Rafa doesn't tolerate players not doing exactly what he wants them to do. There's no wiggle room with regards to "he thought the short pass was a good option there". And the fact is that Rafa blames Mbemba for the midfield giving the ball away in that game, because even though his passes went to feet, they went to players who then turned it over and, in Rafa's plan, they should never have had it in the first place. This was reported a few weeks ago, pretty sure in The Chronicle. It fits with what we know about Rafa, it fits with what we saw in that game. Rafa had a plan, Mbemba didn't follow it, we lost, Mbemba doesn't play again. Probably compounded by the fact Mbemba was fucking useless all round that day, to be fair. And the fact he's simply not Rafa's type of CB.

We already have that in Lascelles/Hanley/Clark? Eh?

I wondered that. They won Division One, in 1923–24, 1924–25, 1925–26. I'm assuming that's what they represent. Yup. Apparently Huddersfield were the side to beat, back then. For the record, I think Wagner has done a terrific job. I don't wish any ill will on them. They play good football and it would be cool to see them get promoted too. Would it fuck.

I didn't. He's a detestable Klopp wannabe.

Are people so thick they can't comprehend that notion of allowing the other team to have the ball, like?

Ritchie's about as Scottish as I am, to be fair.

Diame the main one for me. He couldn't run after 70 minutes. Him and Anita should be benched for this.

That's a bit strong, like.

Derby have hit form recently? Their fans are all mongs, man.

He'd score blindfolded at this level, like. Fucking love watching him play.

They're totally reliant on a Man City player.

Surprised by the tiny bit of pace he showed too! Yeah I've noticed he's not half as slow as you'd think. Got a long stride.

5 wins alone will probably see us promoted now. 9.5.

Mine too.

Fucking brilliant finish.

Not sure what he'll do 50 yards from the rest of the team mind. Score, usually.

Mitrovic would've missed that, to be fair.

Diame should've been off half an hour ago, like. Doesn't have the legs for 2 games in 4 days.

Anita's looked lost at sea, like. Not the game to bring him back.

Did Darlow just celebrate their goal?

Shelvey you fucking idiot.

Did his hamstring stay on?

Not sure what he'll do 50 yards from the rest of the team mind. Score, usually.
