Potter has more chance of getting a win at Quidditch with that shite Chelsea side.

That cunt today needs taking behind the referees curtain and shot. Wanker.

Willock FGS 20/1 - been backing him every game this season so I probably just made my money back

He leads the press well. That's about all I can offer. Tbf on Wednesday night he made loads of good runs and got ignored nearly every time. Probably cos the lads know how frustrating and profligate he is with chances.

It's written in the laws that if the hand is planted on the deck as a result of someone going to ground, it's not a pen as it's deemed a "natural" part of going to deck rather than gaining an advantage e.g. arm waiving around above the head etc. The ref and the east stand lino have been fucking minging in general but letter of the law that wasn't a pen.

Quite right with the yellow card there. First good decision he's made

Class by Willock. This ref is a soft nonce

That East Stand linesman's arm up like a fucking rocket when Tripps is well onside. What happened to "keep the flag down til late"? Dickhead.

Hope to fuck Schar is alright

Currently 16/24 L1 sides scored at half time. Just short of £2k for the full house... Almiron 2+ SOT 6/1 (Sky Boost doubled from 3/1) Almiron to score 2 or more 50/1 (B365)

Got 18/1 for Brentford at the start of added time, that's a belting start to my weekend.

This is near as bad as our first half vs Villa.

Unbelievable technique to catch the ball as sweetly as that.

Great to see numerous lengthy VAR checks for absolutely nowt whereas Wilson gets chopped down in the box most weeks and it just gets waved away without a check.

He did nowt in the Euros. I've seen him have some excellent games for Chelsea but he contributed nowt in the tournament games for England, especially the final.

I was going to mention this. Large groups of people gormlessly wandering up and down the stairs looking puzzled about twenty minutes after kick off, get to fuck.

Shame he couldn't put himself in the shop window like that when he played for the mackems.

Felt a bit bad for him in that Manquillo was crap and we kept trying to force it down Maxi's side for the first half. The booking was harsh as well, looked like he slipped rather than any intent. Won't have done him any harm tonight though. If we sign someone in Jan he's surely ripe for a half decent Championship side on loan.

Hate that stutter run up, still haven't forgiven that dickhead Rashford for trying it in the Euro final. His energy and desire to inject some creativity and urgency into the side as sub was so refreshing though. A proper player despite the pen.

Can't be arsed doing match ratings but Targett, Manquillo & (particularly) Maxi were bloody dreadful with the ball tonight. Anderson a non-event too although we didn't play down the right too much. Most of the others put a canny shift in, it just lacked quality and you could see a lot of them were rusty. Tripps and Bruno really lifted it when they were introduced and what a hero Pope is for getting us through the tie. A year or two ago we lose that tie 0-1, absolutely nailed on. It's pleasing that if we aren't firing going forwards we look absolutely comfortable as fuck at the back even with the changes we made.

He's fucking brilliant like.

Best thing he did tonight was stay the fuck away from the penalties. An absolute disgrace.

Gordon booked for Everton for a two-footed tackle the horrid little cunt.

Gordon & Stacey card double 40/1 Got a few btts and corner dabbles on tonight, small stakes.

great thread that.
