Yes.

What’s this ‘flag shagger’ business? Reminds me of the Palestine flags you see frequently in England these days.

Yes. Because that’s the only thing that really matters.

Oh right. Let’s see.

I just googled - AFCON starts 21/12 and the derby is 7 days before. It seems likely they’ll be away by then.

Well we’ve got Kraft. Even if another LB was brought in, Eddie won’t drop Burn from the side so unless we get two injuries at CB, then Burn’s playing at LB.

I think the players need to leave their clubs at least 2 weeks before the AFCON starts. That being the case, the mackem ones would miss the derby?

The derby is on 14th December. Their African players will have left by then for Afcon, I believe.

It was a head in hands moment when he missed that header but his run into the box for it, together with the build up, was a thing of beauty. Delighted he made amends at the end. Big goal.

What are the arguments against a safe standing area? I can only think of positives.

Jesus - completely forgotten about that. How many years ago?

Aye. Listening to games on the radio’s like Chinese water torture and I only listen if I can’t get the game on any tv/stream. The best way to work out what’s going on is to listen to the crowd noise. It’s always slightly ahead of his commentary and you can tell straight away if we’ve scored or missed and how the game’s going generally.

I thought he was better today but still a long way to go. Baby steps.

Some people can’t escape their ideology. It seeps into every opinion they have.

Isak’s lucky Liverpool signed Wirz too - it deflects a lot of attention from his potentially disastrous signing.
