Anyone who starts a prediction/claim with "My understanding is..." is never to be believed. It's journalese for "I'm not at all sure, frankly." If you "understand" that X is going to happen you just say "X is going to happen". "Our next match is at home to Portsmouth" not "I understand that our next match is at home to Portsmouth."

Play pretty badly and win 4-1. I’ll take that!

Kind of crazy that it’s only early September and we’ve played the league leaders home twice. And won twice.

Bit lucky there. If Scienza, Azaz and Larin all play well, we are brilliant. But Leo & Cyle weren’t at it tonight. Props to Flynn Downes. Excellent. MotM.

So far, this is a truly fantastic transfer window. Two players out for £60m. Peretz and Larin in for barely £10m (I thought we'd get neither). Scienza and Azaz stay. JWP in for peanuts. I would have ripped your arm off for that in early July.

He's fantastic. Easily our most underrated player. And possibly even our best player.

Switched off after that abysmal first 20 minutes. Did I miss anything?

Nice win. A 6/10 performance. Downes MotM by a mile. Was getting frustrated that it look us so long to make a sub. But what do I know? It worked v well ultimately.

This is embarrassing

Any away pubs recommended in Colchester?

Relations between Tonda and the players are surely now dire. He has to go.

It seems insane. Sure we’re guilty. We cheated. But it’s like getting capital punishment for shoplifting. (Or shoplifting maybe 3 times).

Why? Why wait?

That's pretty weird then. If - by some miracle - we don't just beat Hull, but then manage to stay in the top flight for 27 years (as we did from 1978-2005), we would begin the 2053-54 season in the Championship at a points deduction?

Can I ask about what people mean by a "suspended" points deduction? Does it mean "suspended" until we play again in the Championship (maybe next season, maybe a long way in the future) or does it mean "suspended" in the same way as a prison sentence can be suspended (not served at all if there are no further offences in the future...but added to your sentence if you're found guilty of a similar crime at a later date)?
