Been exceptional today.

Week after week after week, we get shafted. VAR only seems to be in operation when it's against us, when it's for us they don't even look.

Fuck off and don't come back Ciaran. You're a fucking embarrassment to the sport.

Thick as fuck. Picked Clark again, same result. You're shite Eddie.

Dropping Schar ahead of Lascelles is disgraceful like. Might be for fitness reasons but it just sends out the wrong message. Clark playing at all is a disaster. Back four is probably the worst one we've put out since the Huntington, Solano, Moore, Babayaro days.

Rudiger, Moutinho and Neves SOT each 40/1 Dendoncker and Azpilicueta cards 25/1

It was 9s but its shot down, must have been backed in heavily.

Jacob Murphy card a stonking 9/1 on Sky. Various card doubles trebles and quads mainly featuring the back four, Joelinton and Hayden today, small stakes on all. And pen scored & red card in the match at 16/1.

The Laca boost was absolutely printing, turned a good day into an even better one.

Drammeh/Forshaw 20/1

First win in ages after weeks of near misses. McNair card single 5/1 (thankyou betting village) and the double with Billing at 16/1. I missed their treble with Howson and the two above at 80/1 so praying he doesn't get one.

0-3. Think we'll look tired and leggy and they'll be fresh and full of zip.

Dean's got form for ignoring head injuries. Remember when Willy Boly elbowed Perez in the face in the penalty area and he waved play on? The man is a monumental cunt and a blight on refereeing. Up there for me with Rob Styles as the biggest consistently anti-NUFC ref I've seen.

One of the better showings at Anfield and I think undone by a combo of a cunt ref and individual errors for about the 10th time this season. If that tackle on Fraser is the other way round, Dean gives it and VAR doesn't overrule. Soon as Trent flew in I knew we'd cut to Dean waving it away the utter prick. Some decent performances in there tonight but Hayden was absolutely disgraceful. Probably worth sticking with Willock if he's the alternative.

Yet another utter cunt today 100% intent on ruining our day. I hope Mike Dean gets cock rot the arrogant shit wanker.

Hayden is fucking dink

Cash back on Lewis at least. Have just re-bet Ritchie and Ritchie/Lascelles with the freebies

If so I'll cash out and hoy it on him instead, even more of a liability

Also like Murphy 15/2 as a single on Sky if he starts at RWB.

Lewis card 5/1 likely playing vs Salah seems a hell of a price (bet365). Taking the single and the double with Lascelles at 22/1.

Guehi's card record is class.

He wanted the bloke in the middle but unfortunately couldn't agree terms.

He's picking fullbacks in their correct positions which is a start, but playing Clark/Lascelles ahead of Fernandez and also the insistence on the Shelvey-Willock 2 in midfield is leaving us horribly exposed. Not so sure I can see this work taking shape just yet. Feel like we see so many managers go into bottom half teams and immediately make a noticeable positive impact and whilst Howe is clearly doing more behind the scenes and is good in front of the cameras, I've not seen it yet at all. Appreciate the comparison is maybe unfair as we're talking about 14 years of neglect versus maybe a few months of shit performances at another club, but I was underwhelmed when he was appointed and that hasn't changed any for me yet.

I'd bench him for Liverpool. He looks tired and shot to bits. Bring him on for the last 20-30 mins if by some miracle we're still in the game at that stage.

Presume this is as a result of getting loads of shit from some of our pond life support. He needs sitting down and the armband taken off him, desperately. Not good enough and not showing any obvious leadership qualities on a matchday. I'd make Wilson captain for now, but we should look to get someone in January who is skipper material, we could do with a nasty snide cunt in midfield who can tackle and spoil a bit and that might be the ticket.
