Perfect learning curve for Ben Dawson working with Beardsley, on a "Don't do as I do" basis.

Aye that's very true.

Tempted to stick a tenner on 1-1 for every game they play til the end of the season. Safest bet in town.

Draw is still a shite result like. Elias off the bench for a winner please

Lovely waking to that "we've been totally shafted by the officials" feeling again. It's part of the weekly routine now.

Aye. Nearly everyone I was texting after the match said it wasn't a foul, absolutely baffled by it.

He's fucking toilet like. Didn't stop a single cross all night and hopeless positioning as per. Pathetic shite.

Fuck me, Yedlin's awful. Otherwise we've been OK and goes down as a decent half. Will be 1-0 either way this.

Footy accumulator RAB Jiminez and Rondon to score, Bennett and Yedlin carded 250/1. Mint price. Also backed the shots on target boost.

Give it to Bally til end of the season

Get the feeling he'll be on the bench tomorrow and we'll see him for 20 mins. Hopefully we are still in the game at that point.

Unlike him to concede possession cheaply

We bought the title a few years ago when we made a profit on transfers remember.

Aye basically with a poor error he lost us a point we didn't expect to get yesterday. But he's won us umpteen more that we didn't expect to get over the last year. Still think he's class.

Yeah, and I get all this, "oh, Crumpy, you're a brilliant driving instructor, you're stuck in Ashington, while it's Rafa that's off, you know, making all the money, and he's rubbish compared to you". And I go, "don't slag 'im off." I say, "I've been there, I've done that, that's behind me." And I respe-- thing is, we're both good in our own fields. I'm sure Rafa couldn't run and manage a driving instructor business. I couldn't do what-- actually, I could do what he does, and I think he knew that, even back then. Probably what spurred him on.

Fuck me Atsu is shite. If Almiron is even half decent that'll be one hell of an upgrade. Alright half, Perez looks sharp.

I think that if we can avoid defeat in 3/4 of those home games against those around us and win say 2/4 minimum, that'll be enough.

Prefer Sterling than being in the Euro though. Leave means leave.

Burnley, Cardiff and Huddersfield IMO.

Really really hate Zaha's woe is me commentary about being fouled a lot. You'd think he was the only bloke in the league who gets kicked. Also, I wonder why he doesn't talk about why he dives a lot too, the fucking con artist. Ward-Prowse is a fucking legend for winding him up and getting him sent off like, absolutely textbook goading.

He was good again and of course won the pen. He's not had a bad game yet, deserves his place in the team. Well done to him.

Cross not challenged, keeper nowhere near it, three or four stood ball watching whilst Aguero knocks it in. A real freak occurance.

Hope Perez got booed for that shot in preparation for Almiron arriving.

Great start. Fulham and Hudds trail early doors.

No Diame is the key issue, Hayden is fucking garbage and Longstaff whilst trying his best and doing quite well has no support in there. 0-2 or 0-3, OK performance but just too much quality to handle. Standard really.
