AA never scores that.

Brilliant finish! Archer.

More defensive confusion.

LND's facial hair is criminal. Another save Macca!

And a Macca save.

Macca! Christ.

Seem to be pressing much more than we have previously.

Ohhh.

But we did go forward.

Some tidy passing already (despite my earlier Quarsie comment).

Underhit pass from Quarsie.

Watching on the Now TV tellyboxps4machine. In technicolor. COYRs.

Sneaky bastard. Managing them AND playing LWB for us? SR out.

Okay - overall not a bad line up, but with one issue. WTF are we 3CBs again? Fuck me Will, you are trying people's patience.

They got Tall Paul.

Oi! Why are using my picture for your PS profile pic?

Hmmm. Think he should have stayed for another season. Think the move is too soon. And Everton? Really? No convinced about this. But still: I wish him luck and will watch his progress with interest.

I'll put a call in to my old uni buddy, 'The Beastmaster'. I'm confident he'll find out how well she commands her box.

True. However, I believe the more direct style we're seeing this season will mean we score more than last. Assuming we sign a 10 and a winger or two. And stop with AA through the middle.

So how many $Longs would Long be?

Except, we were promoted with Baz and Macca last time around. And that was behind a LegoHead-coached 'defence'. Our keeper options aren't a disaster.

Football is a squad game, and having this type of keeper around is something we've done before. Stuart Taylor made a career of it. So Long is a shit keeper? Doesn't matter if he isn't on the pitch. My annoyance here is that clearly Baz will be our numbr 1 this seasonl but that's not Long's fault.

Give them a small bone.

Got yanked off at half time?

He turned 60 in the last few days, according to TwitterX. Which doesn't make me feel really old. Nosireebob.
