Should be playing until about 101 mins now.

Why is Smallbone playing upfront?!

Trump was a Russian asset, FFS. They even had him trying to extort Ukraine a couple of years ago.

Not sure we can assume Salisu will be here next season, to be honest.

Piss poor at the back without Sali, and our strikers plus Moi are all having terrible matches. Forster has kept the score down. Never mind. Let’s PLEASE try hard in the next round of the cup.

For a "comedian", I'm finding Zelenskyy's latest material somewhat moribund.

Geordies will be crying off matches again, no doubt.

By the way, Gary Kasparov is an interesting person to follow on Twitter. He's been writing about Putin for years and pretty much predicted all this.

Seems to me that Putin underestimated the lack of enthusiasm for this within the Russian forces themselves. The young men on the ground don't want to kill Ukrainians and are really in quite a predicament.

If Henry VIII was alive now, what car would he drive?

Who invented the skip?

Very much in with a shot here. Unfortunately the 15 mins with the back 3 worked out badly as we missed Romeu too much in midfield. I can see why Ralph changed as we were getting overrun out wide but it was a mistake, in hindsight. When we get on the ball we’re good. Just need to watch against over committing as counter attack is the only way they look likely to hurt us.

Brilliant stuff. One of our best performances under Ralph.

Why should they? Walcott and Long would not get in many Championship teams and Armstrong has a lot to prove before you can say he’s better than a Champ player. Small and Stephens are all over the place defensively. Valery is not arguably better than a mid table Champ player, although he’s been decent today, and the keeper is a 50 year old who hardly ever plays a match in his career.

Shockingly complacent team selection. Stupid from Ralph. If you pick a front 3 of Walcott, Long and Armstrong you are virtually guaranteeing a load of dross. Armstrong, Perraud, Adams and Salisu on for Walcott, Long, Stephens and Small. If Walcott comes out second half then Ralph out!

Yeah, unbelievable that a team which has been utter shite for 70 years, bar about 5 years when it operated as a money laundry, is utter shite now.

Who is cooking all the breakfasts?

Absolutely never a penalty. Terrible, terrible officiating. Shows they know the laws but don't understand what they're seeing. Utterly terrible.

Indeed.

The Quizlamic State?

Funnily enough, I've just left a Taoist shrine.

Still doing it if I try to type much. I'm worried it's effectively made this forum unusable for me and you will all struggle without my insights.

Maybe we can spend more than what we make now?

I've updated my Android OS and now my posts seem to automatically get lots of extra lines added to them.
