The song is approaching literal truth now, good job I'm not married.

This is basically the situation, I can't dislike him because he puts in decent effort. Quite funny that he keeps getting into good position for headers but he's so unable to convert them.

Stoked to get back in the car after football and find we haven't been abused. I was expecting a load of 12th Man texts about Man Utd goals! Sounds like a great performance from the lads, and a great point.

Think he'll benefit from these kind of injury-induced chances without the pressure of being the actual 'number one'.

True, far too soon to draw any conclusions except that he needs to pull his finger out to give himself the best chance of making it.

TBF to Jonas, he invites physical contact and players do rough him up to try and get the ball back. I wouldn't say he's a diver.

I don't even want to think of his contract situation, I'll explode with joy if he signs again.

He was good out there. It's just that his play on the right is limited now we have absolute shite up front. Real battle between him and Rooney at times, good to see them both very controlled with any aggression. Hmm, it's not like I'm even decided on whether he's better RW or CM, but the team seems to work better with him on the right.

Absolutely. Got in to some brilliant positions tonight but didn't get the ball. If he can take up those positions and we can get the ball to him, with Shola up top and Nolan supporting from deep, we could tear them apart. I'm up for this now!

What was his body language like?

I think this is the key, we just can't accommodate them both on the same pitch.

Sounded like he was getting into Rooney quite well at the end there. 5 Live talked some nonsense (or is it?) about his not really being used properly on the right.

Shouldn't be, he's just signed a juicy new contract.

Yep, I wouldn't be looking to buy a starting CB right now, we have bigger priorities. Although our backup in that position is slightly dodgy.

Sounded decent tonight on the radio, though I only caught the last 30 minutes.

You could tell from the expression on Hernandez' face that he'd dived. He was doing his best to look shocked. If you're going to act, next time do angry. Or book acting lessons with Steven Taylor. Taylor's a ham though, he rarely actually convinces in a role.

He didn't sound awful from the radio, which is pretty encouraging.

Is he not celebrating in that last one as well?

On reflection it was quite funny, I just scrolled past it originally.

For me there is no pressure or expectation around this game at all, so I'm not that worried. I just hope we don't receive a total ravaging.

Fuck no.

Bit of an exaggeration tbh. Yes, for effect. I would like to see your reaction if Mike Ashley had renamed NUFC "Team Sports Direct" like. I'd kill him. I would join in TBF.

I'm playing football tonight so I can't watch... give em hell lads!
