The Kraken

Definitely this. I thought he was creating all sorts of problems. And although BBD 50p headed one cross, that looked like it might it might be a productive supply line. Also thought KWP was brilliant first half, just popping up everywhere.

Not today that’s for sure. We got 0.86 less than that 😪

Tbf he’s done alright to not publicly dig him out too much, and he does say he recognises that the mistake will be the narrative. I reckon he’d have been ok saying ‘it was a mistake and Alex has held his hands up’ but we know that’s not really RM’s style in front of the cameras. Just hope that such a glaring eff up so early in the season and so detrimental to our result has hardened resolve to get a keeper in this window.

Howe and Martin interviews are up on BBC. Russ not blaming AMC but blaming the players overall for taking their foot off the gas. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c2041nprd9nt

Literally nobody said that having a man off means you lose, but ok 👍

The Nathan Jones school of common sense 👌

Because you said having a man off is to a great degree irrelevant. Having a man sent off actually has a significant effect on a game. The level of significance varies from whatever your source data is. But heres a quote from the first study I called up. On average, having a home-team player sent off was found to reduce the points the 10-man home team obtained from the game by 0.8631. Similarly, having an away-team player sent off increases the points of the 11-man home team by an average of 0.3529. Note the former number is over twice as large as the latter. This suggests that the negative impact on the home team's points from having one of their own players sent off is more than twice as large as the positive impact from having a player from the opposition team dismissed. In other words, a home team suffers a lot more from having a player expelled than it gains from having an extra man.

😆 No, that’s not what I said either, is it.

😆 It really isn’t, and any statistical study out there will clarify what a whopper is a statement that is.

Up to the sending off we more than matched them, I wasn’t impressed with Newcastle and thought we could nick something. The sending off changed the whole game, and I disliked our formation in the second half. First half the best bit about our formation was how KWP and Suga were pulling them all over the place. Edozie is the same no-end-product merchant he’s always been. Crap result. Terrible ricket from AMC. Disappointing subs. Crap day.

Over an hour with a man advantage and we’ve rummaged up 4 shots on target all game. Just not good enough.

I haven’t seen a good angle of it but saw the replay and def looks like it was going wide.

BBD must do better there.

What the absolute fuck was that?

“He’s conned the referee”. No he hasn’t you absolute dope. Hes made too much of a meal of it but if he doesn’t react at all the defender still gets sent off, it was right in the ref’s eye line. Stupid from the defender.

no nothing 🤣🤣🤣

He certainly does seem to have a default state of invective bitterness. Not a great way to live, I'd imagine.

Down with paying people a fair wage.

Reported for being nonbinaryphobic.

And why did he invent crisps and chips? Eh??

I had coronavirus again just a few short months ago. Really makes you think.

I think you'll find that two and three are already well on their way. It will satisfy those who look at the net migration numbers and say "net migration numbers down = good" but the effect it will have on universities will be damaging and in particular the damage to the care sector over the next few years could be catastrophic.

.

Definitely would, I don’t disagree. But I think it would also leave our midfield massively exposed.

It might sound harsh but both of them are weak links for us at PL level IMO. So is Stephens to be fair, but his place looks solid as long as we’re going for the 3 CB approach. Although I’m not sure I see Adarma, BBD and another striker as our starting lineup.
