Miercoles

It's funny how I'm less nervous than I should be for this. I'm somewhat confident of a result, even though we've been shit the last couple of games, and even though the reason we've been shit (fatigue) will be even stronger today. I hear things about how Milan is in disarray as well, and I dunno we are just savages at St James' so I don't fear any team coming to town whether we have a team or not.

If it was at home I would secretly fancy us to win, but away I think we will probably lose. That said, Spurs have shown they are fully capable of fucking up anything.

What you talking about, four of those nine players have started a game for us at least once, making them starters. And in modern football, if you're not aware, it's common to name your fourth choice keeper to the match day squad, it's called an impact substitution.

Feel like de Gea is a clear violation of the no cunts policy. I'm happy to see the session out with Dubs and Karius. TBH I might try Karius ahead of Dubs, but that's probably just meddling for shits.

Extending Schar is an easy one for me, he's basically free compared to what you'd have to spend to bring in a comparable player. To find a ball playing center back that can actually defend, plus scores a game winner every year, not going to be cheap. It's not like he's 38, sign him up.

You ever write a post and then realize you're absolutely shit-faced? My brother's birthday today, so I'm holding it together pretty well all things considered.

Yeah, Eddie handled it nicely last season I think, brought him on to get the face-off out of the way. I don't remember Gordon doing much that game outside of winding up the supporters, but if nothing else it meant that this season we don't have to wonder how he'll do in front of them. Gordon didn't seem bothered in the slightest to my memory.

The table Google puts together seems to work fine, I just search nufc women and get the table and fixtures that way.

It's an ownership issue. They're doing the Mike Ashley program just at the other end of the scale, so just enough to stay in the competition so you can trouser the TV money. Just in their case it's champions League instead of premier League that they're trying to just barely qualify for. That attitude, trying to actually make money with a football club, is always going to keep them away from sporting success

Looking at the table just now and after nine games played they've conceded one (1) goal against. Preeeeetty preeettty good

Probably player of the season at this point, by a margin.

You rarely see that combination of peak physicality and expert diving in the same player, truly a generational athlete.

Shoulder? If so that's probably the season.

Aaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Fuck yes.

Feeling better and better about the PSG result. It's one of those where it just hurts because of how it happened. If we had held on all game and equalized late we'd have been buzzing to finish 1-1. Think we ought to have the tiebreaker over PSG if we end up level too. Not a huge stretch to think we could beat Milan and PSG get held by Dortmund...

A win and a draw to PSG is fucking great, yeah. And when the draw was made, if you offered us a chance to qualify on the last day at home a lot of people would have taken it. It's just the fucking hope that crushes you.

I'd have taken a draw before the game. Going to keep repeating that until I'm able to stop crying.

Love the confidence, I've lost mine! Trying to remember that PSG are the ultimate choke artists to get myself back up for it.

Crazy thing is we can still win this group if we win out and Dortmund lose to PSG and Milan. Not saying it's a prediction, more like this group is crazy. Must be fun for the neutrals.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Still a little worried about that, gone down while changing directions with no contact, usually means fucking ACL time but hopefully he's alright.

He kicked the absolute fuck out of that ball I'm convinced it could have gone anywhere, just happened to be bottom corner!

This dude is so legit, looked totally sound on the left, maybe not as much going forward but that's okay. Bad news for Hall, I guess.

Looked 100% a premier League player through the full game today, and of course the pass was very pretty.

Beautiful assist today
