Kid Icarus

I tell myself that Barca 08-15 is my favourite style of football, but then I watch Joelinton, Tonali, and Bruno ragdolling opposition midfielders and I really have to think twice like, I absolutely fucking love it. Reminds me a lot of how I would have never said Carroll was my type of striker, but then watching him bully defenders was unbelievably satisfying.

We're only 3 points behind our 22/23 tally in a season when a loud minority thought we should bin Howe.

Toughest match we've had in a while at home and one that so often throws up a 0-0, 1-0 either way or 1-1. Think this one will be 1-1, they're in decent form.

Still West Ham I think, but he has a few really good matches under his belt now, including a cup final.

His shot conversion rate today was 100%

Sometimes you just have to put your feet up and say hei, what a weekend of Barclays Premier League football action

Some of our best performances under Howe have been at home to this mob, always upping our game and really going for it. Today weirdly is probably the most competent I've seen Man United during this time, and the most casual I've seen us, yet it resulted in the biggest winning margin. So easy in the end and we didn't really get out of 2nd gear. Pope: 7 Trippier: 7 Schär: 7 Burn: 7 Livramento: 8.5 Tonali: 8 Joelinton: 7.5 Bruno: 7 Murphy: 8 Isak: 7 Barnes: 8.5

Absolutely bricked up whenever I see Sandro tying his shoelaces

Good subs

He's been fantastic today.

Get 5 for Kegsy

Barnes fucking loves important goals

Weird that we conceded because we looked much better after our goal after a weird start. Really need to find ourselves again 2nd half because too much of that didn't feel like us. Shooting towards the Gallowgate 2nd half and likely seeing Gordon at some point will get us there.

We don't look right here

Christ, all of the streams are absolutely miserable viewing today

Could have been better but you'll take that all day long.

Chelsea are shite. It's incredible that they're still involved in the hunt for CL places. Expect they'll fight back, but being behind to Ipswich by 2 is bad enough.

I care to the extent that I like things that are funny.

Absolute extreme minority tbf, which is weird because they normally hate them as well.

Tbf I like it in that it's really enjoyable to take the piss out of how soft cock it is. Singing "norf landan fowevaaa" in the softest, meekest little voice you can muster up.

I do feel much less confident without King Edward there like. Hopefully he's able to get some messages to the players at kick off and half time.

Main worrying thing for me is that everything we know about him suggests he'd never cause a fuss. Just hope it's something short term and he's alright.

Results are about as good as we could have realistically expected

Yes! About fucking time
