I see they are linked with Christian Pulisic, Enzo Fernandez and Cody Gakpo now... How many more before the World Cup ends? Anything to generate clicks from the hordes...

Sunderland away please - purely as it's half my journey time...

The night stay is my fave option - for obvious reasons, it should be so much more doable with the trains though if they were to run reliably per their timetable. Early start at 6am and driving scuppers the pints etc. Still, last game before the WC so a small sacrifice. Heading down myself too...

Yeah, not a fan myself. Given the train drama, I'll be leaving Edinburgh in the car around 6:30... Still, can't wait. Massive 3 points here and Arsenal dropping anything later on Saturday would be sensational as we break for the inconvenient WC.

Well, I've had a fair few comments on the dipper thread so best even it out a little bit more by adding a comment in here... This lot still take the proverbial biscuit for me when it comes to hatred, they are still the club I enjoying seeing lose more than any other. Liverpool run them close...

There's this and then Brentford on Saturday, then we break for this chaotic and stupid winter World Cup (cheers Fifa, you corrupt bastards). I think we go strong for both. I appreciate there will be a fixture pile up to an extent in the new year, BUT, it's a chance to eliminate a side that win...

Well, well, well... FSG are looking at the big 'Exit' sign above the door and have decided now is the time to get the hell out of town. Either that or the 'investment invite' is akin to having the begging bowl out which in itself is comedy gold. You've got to hand it to them, they bought the...

Well, in the past few days I’ve decided to set off from Edinburgh down the M6. It’s too unreliable mate! I’ll inevitably be able to claim a refund when Transpennine screw up the trains on the day…

I hadn't seen that mate, but that would be fantastic irony and not entirely unsurprising. I reckon they will try and go for a 'name' though. If' I'm Beale, I'm steering clear of that job. They appear a bit of a basket case with somewhat lofty ambitions in a league full of cash, whereas he has...

This was inevitable when Michael Beale took the QPR job over the summer. Or at least it seems that way. Beale's always been lauded as the brains behind Gerrard's managerial successes at Rangers in terms of breaking Celtic's quest for 10 in a row, and some of their decent European performances...

Well, fingers crossed I get the day return for Brentford on the trains. Crack the cans open on the way down (wait until a reasonable hour of course... 9am!) and then the train back up. The Mrs is already saying "what if the train back is cancelled" - told her I'll cross that bridge if I come to...

The frustrating thing is that it's not even the strike action (yet!) that is causing a lot of the issues with Transpennine. They appear to be pretty piss poor in general with their service. The past few days the trains I've booked have ran so hopefully that continues as a I fancy a few pints at...

Yeah, it is and that's my fear. Even if there's no strike action, the time table is littered with warnings about their short cancellations just now. I'm only 15 minutes from Edinburgh Waverley, but a short notice cancellation of the 8:12 service leaves me screwed for a 12:30 KO so just have to...

Spot on mate. Waverley to Manchester Piccadilly Think I'm on a train at like 8.12 in the morning.

That's a nightmare mate. I've got the return train booked for the early kick off against Brentford on 12th November. Hoping that remains un-effected but just have to keep checking...

I'm looking forward to Saturday, I always want the next game to come along after a defeat so that it can be put to bed. Sunday will hang over me disproportionately until then. Gutted we ain't playing Arsenal this midweek given the respective positions the clubs are in at the moment whilst...

Fantastic achievement by the whole club and well deserved. We can add that to our history wall. Shame for Liverpool, tucked underneath City in second place as usual. I really hope that an award is created for the best dinner lady at each club so that we can win that as well and boil further piss.

I think they've done brilliantly so far this season, considering the reputation they've garnered over the past few years when it comes to challenging for the big prizes. That said, I'm not convinced of them keeping up this pace for the whole season. There are signs of them riding their luck...

Yeah, I stupidly felt confident all week going into the game as my posts will show. I saw their team line up and thought, we can do a number on this lot today. Then I saw how we were lining up and thought - I'll take a win of any description, maybe even a point wouldn't be so bad. Liverpool...

That owl on the kit due to their Spotify sponsorship is quite possibly one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen on a football top. It belongs in the pound shop near Hillsborough. This is a club who once prided itself on not having a sponsorship on their shirt. They've been reduced to...
