This ref. Wow. New levels of incompetence. That bad it warrants a word with the EFL, honestly.

Looked a pen on Diaz for me, but I am the other end of the ground. Of course they go down the other end and get a free kick and us a booking though.

That pass from Buckley summed him up this half. Shocking. I’m usually a fan, but today hasn’t been his day and that’s being kind.

He can’t possibly be, JRC is shite.

Alarming lack of urgency from our lads. I’ve only caught twenty minutes of this half, but it’s been shambolic. Stray passes galore, bad crosses (when they do cross it and not cut it back for a short 5 yard pass instead). No threat in attack really, out muscled, out fought, out enthused and generally outplayed.

He pushed a ref once, nobody needs lessons in morality from that weapon.

Can we stop saying people wouldn’t be happy if we signed world class players? It’s absolutely well tiresome. Ta.

Dolan being muscled off the ball far too easily, lad needs to get on the weights. Shout out to the ref too. Absolute lamb shanker.

Got in mega late owing to a couple of crashes on the A59, get to my seat to see Kaminski fuck that up. Happy Saturday…

I did not, but that’s one for next time. Whilst it’s apparently more of a Porto thing, I had a Francescinha sandwich. Absolutely incredible but sure I could feel an artery clogging up while eating…

Had lots of Vinho Verde a few months ago in Lisbon- I can confirm it’s superb.

If Mowbray went to Sunderland, at least he couldn’t complain about being far from Middlesbrough- despite knowing where the club have played for the whole of their existence.

I’m not totally against the Caulker signing, seems like he’s turned his career around over in Turkey. Having said that, we would still need another centre half, given his injury record. We don’t need two Ayalas…

If we sell players and don’t use the proceeds to improve the squad then that tends not to end well….

If we get £15 Million for BBD and we don’t spend it on players, (wages or fees) then it’s not gone back into the playing squad. That’s about the size of it!

If he’s breaking speed limits in a big way, then it’s an hour and a quarter! Otherwise, probs nearer two hours….

Poorly worded from me in a hurry- I meant that it won’t be going back into the playing squad.

Well, wherever it goes, it won’t be going back into the playing squad, I’m sure we can all see that.

If we sold BBD and reinvested the money into the squad with players we already have lined up, it wouldn’t be ideal, but I’ve expected him to be on his way for a while, really. Just to be clear- I have absolutely no confidence in our hierarchy to do this though. The Armstrong money went unspent and I think the BBD cash will go the same way. Saying it went unspent is easier to pacify fans, but I think we all know it will be getting trousered.

Seems unlikely- I don’t think we need to be calling everyone moaners just for having a different opinion to be fair.

Some are negative, some are positive- you said it yourself, people have different opinions.

Toxic? Don’t be so melodramatic. It’s hardly that deep- people are just passing comment on what they think so far.

VVD has looked poor so far this season for me. He’s obviously been a major reason for their success in the last few years in his defence. Every time I have seen Elanga play for United, he’s looked a real threat and he’s making TAA’s life hell tonight. Though he has been showing far too much of the ball to him in one on ones…

Strong start from United and a very calm finish from Sancho. Liverpool absolutely nowhere in this game so far.

I agree, but that has nothing to do with what I was saying. If JDT keeps asking us to ask Greg, then either, Greg needs to put his head above the parapet, or instead, JDT needs to say, when there’s something to update you with, we will.
