That was the least threatening corner we’ve ever done

Wait, do people use pseudonyms here? I, Leonard Eithblue, am shocked and appalled at you all.

Not that’s he’s doing badly but I can’t really work out where Nunes is playing today

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/jan/16/next-stop-manchester-city-khusanov-the-train-back-on-track-after-bumpy-journey The Train! About time we had a player with a proper nickname. It’s been downhill since we had the King of the Air

God I hope not. I’ve been to Hibs and Hearts women’s games against both the Old Firm and they’ve all still attracted Neanderthals singing about the ‘RA or never surrendering, throwing fireworks and trying to kick off with kids and families inside and out.

That is genuinely bad defending.

No Salford fans were watching on the telly. So that’s 3.7m fans each for United and Arsenal watching their game and 3.2m for ours. Sounds alright.

No, no, according to the rules set down by a load of Irish, West Country and Australian United and Liverpool fans that have never been near a stadium in their lives you measure attendances by seats not filled.

Wembley. Missed our flight back to Edinburgh too, so slept at Luton airport

There was barely a whimper on here when we let Rogers go. And 70+ teams above Lincoln passed on him when he went. He’s turned out well, but it was hardly a surprise he didn’t break through, he didn’t do enough in his loans or in training here to give a hint he’d come good.

If Rogers was showing anything like the potential to turn out like this then he wouldn’t have gone to Lincoln City. This isn’t a Cole Palmer job with clubs lining up to take him on. The scouting teams of 70+ clubs between us and Lincoln passed on him too. There was no outcry whatsoever on here...

To be fair, when he was coming through we had Rodri, Fernandinho, Silva x2, DeBruyne, Gundogan and Foden in the way. We couldn’t have kept him hanging about for three years on the off chance he turned out that good. If he was showing that much promise then he wouldn’t have ended up at Lincoln...

I’ll take that £35m we kept knocking back for Silva now

Ah great, another centre half injured

Huge gap between Kovacic running around in front of the back 4 and Haaland. Silva and Foden might as well be sat at home watching a Bond film.

Bury at home (1-0) Stockport at home (2-1) Lincoln away (4-1) That should do it for defeats that hacked me off. Nothing this century comes close.

We’re leaving at 6am - but I get to escape the in-laws at least, so, swings & roundabouts. Kids will sleep the whole drive down though.

Wasn’t it Villa last season we started with Stones and Lewis in midfield and it was pretty catastrophic? Gulp.

I wonder if there’s a thing in attention spans too. Without going into the early leavers black hole (but I still don’t believe 25,000 people walking out on Sunday evening had a longer drive home then we did) but I just don’t get leaving early at all. 20/30/40 years ago you’d stay. You’d...

Good thing it’s the early kick off so if it goes to form we can get on with the weekend without the shadow of impending doom hanging over it.
