Salmon and prawn pasta bake with a decent Sauv Blanc. Prepared with my own fair hands. The pasta. I only opened the wine.

Seems sensible. The admin was getting too much. We get the option of a refund or carry forward to next season. If spectators are allowed back this season, priority still given to those who bought season tickets, paying per game or deducted from c/f balance

This is very long and I'm not suggesting it's necessarily a definitive analysis, but there's plenty in it to give credence to the suggestion that this was a carefully planned operation intended to end with Congress stopped from carrying out the ratification. Particularly chilling was the suggestion that Trump wanted the military and National Guard to march with him (to protect from Antifa) rather than protect the Capitol.

Some had baseball bats. Others smashed a fire extinguisher over a police officer's head and killed him. Will that do?

Salisu is reported injured

Disgusting player. Disgusting attitude.

They've got a glimpse of how most teams feel against them most weeks

If only we'd been there

Don't understand why that wasn't a foul fir dangerous play.

Romeu not suspended. Suspect the missing ones have either tested positive or been in contact with McCarthy

Smallbone not starting. But no McCarthy, Romeu, Vestergaard, Adams

Never a penalty. What's the point of VAR? Just as biased as the ref on the field. The Sky justification was ridiculous. "The defender was too close to him so Pogba just hit the deck'

Yes.

Unusually defensive bench. Three defenders, three midfield. Only two forwards.

At the recent Fans'Forum, Ralph made the point that he isn't keen on sending players on the verge of the squad out on loan as he wants players to learn to play in the system he wants, and other teams don't play that way. The obvious difficulty with that is the restricted game time available to fringe players.

Was never a foul on the keeper. Ref blew too soon. If anything, a penalty.

They had their moments and at least we didn't lose. But I just don't understand how VAR didn't give the handball pen. The ref bottled the freekick on the edge as he didn't know whether it was in or out, so unlucky on both counts. JWP's free kick was so nearly in and a shame Che misjudged the rebound. Plus two narrow offsides and all in all, with Ings, Redmond, Vestergaard and Romeu out, we were unlucky. Take the point and move on.

If we're playing this way, try N'Lundulu fir Long.

Ralph just said Vestergaard out fur 4 weeks, Redmond the same, not sure about Danny.

Swap Djenepo for Redmond and I agree.

Lemina can't play for them and he's been starting recently. Probably means Harrison Reed will start. Wonder if he'll feel he's got something to prove?

But the rules as changed this season are clear. Arm away from body. Ball hits arm now the sleeve. Penalty. Would have been at the other end.

I don't think he's been poor. His running at defences is important. But he seems to me to be breathing hard and I'm not sure he's fully recovered from his Covid.

It was reported Aguero had an injury/illness setback on Thursday. Can't see him playing a full game.
