Hope he takes the opportunity and does well.

Ndiweni bagged for Annan again today

Think this Leeds / Leicester game tonight could be a belter.

Barnes has looked canny when he's played, the injury is unfortunate as fuck. He only missed something like 5 or 6 Premier League games in his last 2 seasons for Leicester. I reckon he'll end up having a better goals per game/min record than Palmer if you take away pens and compare them both after a full season next season, assuming both play a fair number of games.

We're set to compromise apparently. It's still £20m or 18 months sat on his arse, but we'll let him keep his NUFC keyring as a keepsake.

So I didn't know much about Jim Ratcliffe before this Man U takeover stuff, I'll be honest. Reading his entitled, moronic comments about Ashworth and how he just expects us to lie down and take it up the arse just because it's Man United.... what an absolute fucking bellend. He'll fit in well at that club. Got the feeling that when Klopp leaves Liverpool, Man U will very quickly get back to the top of my most hated club list.

I think it'll be another one of those mental games we've seen recently where we look good going forward but have nae control over the game whatsoever. Which for this sort of fixture I'd actually prefer than us camping in our own half Bruce Style and waiting to get done 3-0. It's disappointing against Luton or Bournemouth at home but away in a tough fixture I think it's the best method of potentially nicking something. Think there'll be goals, we'll score one or two, as for how many they get is anyone's guess.

The lad for Rotherham with a panenka pen in the 93rd minute to level the game against Ipswich sheer nerve.

Great result for the Heed that.

Good point, I totally forgot. What I said will still be irritating if it happens mind.

Pep's a fucking nightmare. Got Elanga on my first seat of the bench with 6 points so can't wait for KdB to amble on for the final 11 minutes of a 4-0 City win where they elect to boringly pass the ball round the back two thirds.

"The Theatre of Dreams" Given the absolute muddle the supposed biggest club in the world has been in for over a decade now, I'd suggest The Slaughterhouse of Hope or The Coliseum of Tragedy as better names.

There goes Roy Hodgson. I must remember to thank him.

Rest easy, Roy. Would love to see him involved in media work at some stage if he fancies it, just a low-key legend of the game and you can tell he loves the game by his outright refusal to retire til he physically can't do it any more.

Wonder how long it'll be before Doddsy's luck runs out and he's the next one ran out of town by the massive lads fans with flaming torches. Personally I've got loads of time for Wally Mick Beale, he came in, let us breeze to a nice comfy derby win, pissed the mackems off, didn't pull up any trees at all and then fucked off. Will go down as one of the great mackem managers.

Mackem in my office seems to think they'll go for Dodds til end of season but hasn't a clue beyond that.

At least he's got the chippy and the fruit and veg stall to fall back on whilst he looks for his next managers job.

Give it Bally til the end of the seysun

Scouting mission for his new employers.

Hope he's got a decent sized garden. By the time Man U have stumped up enough cash he'll have time to do water features and all sorts.

Ah man, I hope they're just rewmours, was hoping to see Wally Mick Beale continue his excellent work down the road for a while longer yet.

Garnacho is a greedy player like.

Always nice to see a young lad make his debut. He's a Bruno card or an injury away from a start so glad he's at least had his debut.

Can't wait to see what he's like in a settled, control-based side that isn't playing kamikaze basketball every week. He's class.
