Be. A. Utiful!!!!!

We will play worse then that this season and win, better then that and still lose. But my goodness that should have been a point.

Game. Set.

Changes needed here. Djenepo for Romeu. Move Ward-Prowse into the middle.

That is highly irritating. We have been playing well until that point. Most important thing here is the reaction. Show we learned from last week.

A fair point, although I believe delays can be held for postmortem purposes. Hopefully he isn't injured. It would be good to see his reintegration continue.

Funerals take time to organise.

No convenience.... Just missed that bit! But yes, what you are saying is right following that up. The board have a tricky job keeping people (not just the players, also the fans) onside when this clearly is the only way for us to compete in the short/medium term. There will always be some fans whose frustrations over the players that leave will continue to leave a bitter taste.

The most interesting moment was the club stating firmly that we are not a stepping stone club, whilst also saying that if we take away player's chance to develop here then move on, then 'what do we have?'

Left him reeling?

A central midfielder apparently.

He did alright for us. Can only assume his wages are leaving a nasty taste, although he does seem a bit of a prat on social media. But, his debut goal at Old Trafford, his Purple patch at the start of the Puel season and leading the line in the San Siro. Those are good memories.

I doubt he took it with the NHS.

The curious part there is the statement that Ingolstadt's defence was solid but they wern't the best going forward. Very positive article mind.

Ché Adams, 1-0 on 2 minutes. Held off his defender well to turn and finish.

Loved Crouchy. I was very skeptical when he signed him, thinking it was a bit pointless to bring him in when we had Pahars, Ormerod, Phillips and Beattie. Clearly the wisdom of those in the club shone (rarely) through that year. Saw him play a reserve game v Leicester that year at Rockingham Road, Kettering. Cold tuesday night, he scored one or two, looked great then got into the first team properly and gave us a little hope in that poor year. A rare breed of good natured, down to earth but very talented sportsman. Football is poorer for his retirement.

Maya Yoshida v Aston Villa

Trottman. He has a chance of lasting the rest of the game without injury. (Yes, i'm aware we are in injury time.)

If only they had spared comment on his knees....... (up mother brown......)

Alan Bennett. He did look really useful for a spell but was always tarred with that horrible game.

Following in the footsteps of Tommy Forecast. Poor sod.

Any many, many people acting as though it was normal beer. That was quite funny.

Loved that away day, hopefully not a once in a lifetime... But if it was no regrets! The strike thankfully didn't effect our party, with easy travel in and out at Linate airport. Couldn't help but feel that as impressive as the San Siro is they certainly don't make them like that anymore. The concrete shell that comprised the upper tier with the various amenities and walkways stuck on the outside of it.

Cannot grudge Ryan a move, particularly to a CL club abroad. We need someone else to replace him though, Targett is not good enough. Even if Ralph can do his wing backs formation properly, he doesn't convince me.

Birmingham possibly about to 'Do a Rupert Lowe' by overpromoting the youth team.
