Fucking yesssss

We've got the subs on the bench to break these. It's not over. Use the injustice to fire them up and come out swinging. With decent officials we'd be 1-1 and a clearance off the line

Ritchie is not anywhere near the starting XI. Think you're being harsh on the others, but the reason they're around the squad is because of FFP. We can't just go out and replace everyone overnight and we're at the FFP limit

It's been even. It's frustrating because this season we're better than these frauds. Just feels like one of those days where nothing will fall for us. Be delighted to be wrong mind. We score I'm wracking up a noise complaint from the neighbours

Rushed back imo. Don't think he'd be starting if Tino wasn't injured

The Australian sun has obviously burnt your retinas clean out

Kicks him in the heel but not a foul. Okay

That was a gift. Fucking hell.

Fuck off man

God I'd do anything for a stressful unearned 3 points here

At least they squeezed in us winning a game. Should be grateful really

I didn't think that was allowed

What's the betting it's Neville on co-comms?

Mackem fan Dave Jones there to bring some balance though eh

Eh, I generally back Howe's decisions as he'll be working with more info than us, and he normally gets it right (probably will again here). Doesn't really work that way with keepers though, you can't bed them in with sub appearances. If he's fit enough for the bench surely he's fit enough to play?

Nice balanced panel there

Happy with that lineup, such strength on the bench. Confused why Pope isn't getting back in the team if he's fit enough for the bench, and I'd probably want to start Joelinton, but more than enough there to bit those twats. In Howe we trust. Let's fucking have em

Big Joe has had 2 cameos off the bench. I don't think it's too outlandish to think he may start? Will be all about how he's looked in training

Y'all got any of that team news?

The kids are live

Oh don't get me wrong, I'll be nervous as fuck if it comes to that Right now though I'm pretty confident. They're shit. Capable of fluking a result against us at home, but not beating City at Wembley. If we don't lose on Wednesday we're there imo and it's all about chasing Chelsea for EL

Nah, they're not winning the cup

Aye, edited after posting. Not happening tbh

3 points against Brentford, or a draw on Wednesday and we're guaranteed at least some kind of Europe. Great position to be in. (Unless there's like a 22 goal swing between us and Man U but that's not happening. Or they win the cup, but that's not happening either)

Thank fucking Christ for that
