Are we late, or are they just early?

Fuck me. Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen as the pundits on my stream. The usual media impartiality in effect, I see.

I'll take a win against anyone by any method at the moment. I don't care about the performance.

The left hand side isn't very threatening, especially when we're basically playing two wingers together. But they have no chemistry together. How many times have Doku and Nunes actually passed to each other or made runs for each other in the attacking third?

A few signs of Foden's class coming back into the game.

Against the rules to be stronger.

Was genuinely furious when they did another short corner. What do I know?

Rugby tackles in the area fine now.

Lucky to get that free kick.

Fucking hell, how many times does the ball break perfectly for them after they get tackled?

In theory, that's fine, and for us who typically qualify for everything every season, it could work. But most teams are not in our shoes, and aren't guaranteed qualification to these extra competitions (and we're doing a good job of showing that our qualification is far from certain too). And...

I love it when people leave the UK and claim that the developing country they've moved to offers a better quality of life. Yes, it does, because you've gone from being poor in a rich country to rich in a poor country. When I lived in Malaysia, I lived in a city centre apartment with a pool and...

The standard 'red team aren't winning' amount.

When does Operation Dipper Penalty begin?

When I was at uni, Barry from Eastenders was on before Girls Aloud and he was way better. Didn't scream 4 songs and fuck off for a start.

Not a support act, but at a festival we wanted to get near the front for The XX, so we went early and London Grammar were on. Absolutely fantastic live band.

The worst part of my colonoscopy was all the stuff you've got to drink the night before. Literally like that Billy Connolly routine.

Yep, nothing better than being given an injection and then instantly waking up with everything finished. I had to sit through 90 minutes of getting an impacted wisdom tooth removed once. It was awful. Having said that, the first post-anaesthetic piss is a tough one.

A special mention for the BBC for this headline: The game finished 1-1. I honestly reckon they thought it up before the game and thought "Fuck it, it's so good, we'll use it anyway."
