Out of interest, does anybod fancy Liverpool for the league? Riding their luck and have not yet played as well as we know they can, whereas Man City are top minus De Bruyne. Suppose a lot will depend on the Champions League. Liverpool may write off Europa if they don’t beat Napoli.

Ki the game changer. Fernandez class again. Onwards and upwards. Missed this feeling.

I fucking hate them and couldn’t even begin to imagine the wankfest if they won it. Hoping they get Real Madrid next and Ronaldo bums them back into their attention seeking, murdering holes. Great to watch though. I actually fancy them to win it, or at least get to the final. They have nobody to fear.

Aye, think these will win today.

Women presenters/commentators. Realise this is probably going to come across really sexist (something I’m definitely not) but the whole thing feels really forced in light of the publicity the equal pay/jobs/work etc that’s been in the press quite a lot lately. I just can’t get away with a women’s voice commentating on men’s football and the push for women to be involved in the men’s game. It’s a recipe for disaster. Women’s football is on the rise let’s just keep it at that. Probably sound a cunt but it really gets on my tits. Sorry...my nerves.

Barnsley goal.

Nice touch when Dummett got a round of applause from the corner/Gallowgate. Really like him.

Who with? I’ll have a bit of that!

Would much rather a team was picked on merit/stats rather than persisting with the same players and formula constantly. See Pardew, Alan.

Was Dummett bad on Wednesday? Can’t say I noticed to be honest. Seemed solid enough.

Been class since Lascelles chinned him. Good on him. Was like a 2012 Yaya Toure last night!

Gave him the benefit of the doubt all season, but I hope I never see him in black and white again. He’s fucking shit and cost us many times.

Eh, we have had talks with West Ham for Carroll (Sky)?! Put off apparently.

Contrary to reports over Christmas, we confirmed on Sunday takeover negotiations remained ongoing between Amanda Staveley and NUFC. Staveley setting up a new company that looks suspiciously like the holding company she used to buy Manchester City has sparked fresh talk that an announcement is imminent. Chris Waugh has spoken to Staveley’s people and we’ll have an update from that very soon. But wilder social media talk of an announcement today or this week looks just that. Premier League sources say the fit and proper person’s test hasn’t begun and until that happens, it’s difficult to see how there’d a grand announcement. This one will run and run.... From Douglas.

Have no idea where our next points are coming from. Them performances against Liverpool and Southampton seem light years ago. Find it hard to hate on the players but they’re simply not good enough. A serious lack of investment in the summer needs fixed in January else there’s only one place this team is heading.

0-2. Think they're a good price, although I'd feel dirty backing it.

We look solid enough tbh, but don't look like scoring. This season's Boro.

In fairness he only returned to training on Friday.

Didn't they make good money for Henderson? Seven years ago. 2011 they sold him? Sure it was the summer after we sold Carroll in the January.

Man Utd at home is the leak. It's apparently on the Sunday, although it's probably wrong.

(most) of our signings of the last few years have came relatively out of the blue. Last summer can't remember the likes of Diame, Clark, Yedlin, Murphy, Sels etc being linked for example. Even Wijnaldum and Mitrovic happened fast if I remember correctly. Could be wrong like, but I'm not worried at all.

The ten minutes from when Gayle scored, Villa equalised and then their result being confirmed was fucking magic. That's exactly why you follow football. What a day yesterday was.

If (big if) we win the league, will he do a John Terry?

Gayle v Norwich. If I remember correctly at that stage it would have put them 7 points clear of us, it really took the stuffing out of a team who I thought would be our main promotion rival. Second Murphy away to Brentford for me. We had just lost to Blackburn the last championship game before, were looking really shaky at the time. Brentford equalised and by all accounts it was backs to the wall, then we scored against the run of play and went on another decent run. Seemed a pivotal goal.

Thought Perez had his best game in a while. Mbemba was good too. Our best performance in a while, although they were shit.
