Fear not. Mr Clutch is on.

Bernardo has been a rat for years. Snidey, cunt of a player. Ref ignored loads of yellows. Then finally got them out for some handbags. Shit reffing.

Yep. He was basically our only attacking outlet all half and on another day has a couple of assists.

Poor, cagey old game. But we managed it very well. I can’t imagine they will be so passive second half. Especially with their bench. But we have played well. Big Joe, Botman and Hall all good. Gordon lively. Murphy had the beating of Ake almost every time. Shame he had to go off. Wissa infuriating. Makes us better and somehow worse at the same time.

They will have all kinds of analytics and know where they are with their fatigue, recovery etc. Barnes played 102 mins and then 120 mins back to back. Put a shift in and was heavily involved from start to finish. Whilst not ideal that our man of the moment isn’t starting. I get it. Similar can be said for Woltemade and Tonali. Bench looks very strong and some different types, at least. I just hope Ramsey follows up with another good game. Looked far more comfortable as a deeper 2. Gets a bit lost in that wide 8 role and drifts out of games too easily.

Ruben Interim replaced with yet another interim.

Carrick is a lot more slow build and possession based stuff compared to Ole, isn’t he? I remember Ole being great at counter attacking against better sides. But I might be misremembering. They’ve had a fair few managers in recent times!

Finally getting nervous. I’ll think of the game and the ol stomach goes or my heart skips a beat. Not shit me self or keeled over yet. So far so good.

Gravdiol and Dias out. Stones still out. I think Pep referenced limiting Ake’s minutes for whatever reason, assuming it’s related to a previous injury.

Up to 8 weeks wouldn't seem so bad if it wasn't for the fact that our players are usually out for longer than the dates given. And for the fact that we probably have something like 15 games in the next 8 weeks!

Created a shit load of decent chances against what must have been close to their first choice back 4-5? Assuming Trafford starts and it is the young lad and Khusanov at CB. Then you'd like to think we can cause them problems. It's at the other end and the fatigue I'm more worried about.

Just tried that. Won't let me add to basket. Even though it shows as in stock.

Stuck in a meeting this morning. I wanted the jumper. No dice.

Vini Jr is a myth. The most overrated ‘best in the world’ conversation player in my lifetime.

It’s an odd response regardless. But the bloke phrased the question terribly. Howe is clearly paying them a compliment about playing them over 2 legs and mentioned how they make slight tactical changes every game. The guy has made out like Howe said City change their style and tactics purely to combat us and specifically, Eddie Howe

Would Man U do it for Liverpool and vice versa? Seems a ridiculous thing to try and get the players to do. Especially one with so many big egos. Mbappe has a point there.

We should sign him based on this

Why? Are you actually a Real Madrid fan? Been taking the piss all these years and didn’t realise you genuinely like the cunts

Yeah. All those misses since the takeover. So much money wasted on crap. I have no faith in them, either.

Worse or as bad. Gordon was at least running full tilt and there was pace on the ball. Even though it was horrendous. Not sure what Wirtz was going for there?! Never keeping that down with that technique.

A hot egg FFS

He was taking the piss out of the moaners. That keep saying we have been crap for all of 2025

What on earth is Slobber Dog up to there?! Barnsley been pretty good TBF. Deserved.

Birmingham in the FA Cup last season.

We’ve had some brutal luck with cup draws since Howe has been here. Well, especially in the last 2-3 years, anyway.
