I'm also 60, yea, same for me.

Right in the middle of my workday. I'll check which meetings I can cancel.

Not sure if money is an issue or not but I have to imagine sitting in the top four to start the year has to be extremely attractive to sponsors for next year. We gotta be lining up for an influx of money.

I struggle to call the League Cup important but getting some silverware and the goodwill and confidence it would generate I do get it. Getting to a cup final would be exciting for everyone.

I somewhat defend Wood but holy shite, he looks really bad at times. Nobody can convince me they can't find an improvement this window. It doesn't need to be an 80M striker. Just an upgrade when Wilson or Isak need to come off.

I'm sure you watched the game. They didn't "smash" us but yes, it was embarrassing somewhat. I do get the idea that you play all the first XI and grab a lead then come on the Murphys. Thing is, you have no idea how long that takes and really you should be able to field a weaker squad and win. It was very unfortunate but I wouldn't lose my mind about it. I am concerned in general about the lack of goals receently.

You really didn't say which of the games you'd have rested players. Which one? Sheffield Wednesday Leicester Fulham?

Which of the three games do you want to get monkeyed in? Can't go full strength in all of them unless you want to kill the squad.

Maybe he should play more, assuming it's never at LB. Murphy was pretty bad today.

Bravo! A man who makes perfect sense.

Congrats to Wednesday. Well done by your lads.

He should only think it.

Smith was pretty good today for them.

Ritchie doing his best Longstaff impression.

Howler of the first order.

Oh boy. Wood? You have to go.

What is worse, a loss or a replay? I say a loss although replay would suck.

Eddie is fired up. I'm sure he told Tindall "Fuck all this"

A hint offsides.

OK, enough fucking around. Nice on Bruno and offsides even out.

No, just a very good keeper I watched. I got nothing against Lev. Like Van Der Sar, good keepers I've seen.

Was a nice finish tbf.

Well, that's kinda fucked up. When I said I wanted a good game I really didn't mean it.

Fair point by the commentator on Newcastle's lack of goals.

Like being a "hint" pregnant.
