Arma blatantly pulled back right in front of the ref, who completely missed it.

Che Adams with his left foot!?

Watford definitely looking like the best team we have played recently. Need to improve drastically in the 2nd half if we're going to win this.

That one just now?

Oooh, we managed a shot!

We've got our standard 70% possession so far but not managed a shot yet. What is impressing me is that despite playing our normal possession game, we're also pressing very well when we don't have it and strangling Watford's ability to break forward.

Or Surbiton maybe?

I have only two strong memories of this fixture. The first was going with my brother on a very cold Boxing Day (I think it was our first season back in the Cshp in 2005/6) and getting outmuscled all over the pitch and soundly beaten 3-0. And the other was more recently, in the days before VAR, when Doucoure literally punched the ball into the net to equalise and all the officials completely missed it.

Just too far ahead of Fraser. Shame.

Sounds like a cracking atmosphere today

Just seen this on the BBC report. I don't know who watched the game for them but they are obviously very easily pleased.

Fucksake. They should be well in the lead by now. Another dreadful performance from us.

Looks like a hammy for Sully

This and this. A few times they had players over-committed in our half and we had the chance to play a first time ball forward, but you could almost see the restraint on the player's faces as they remembered their instructions and just passed it around at the back instead. It's infuriating and boring to watch.

Is this your crew I just spotted at Barnsley Station @Turkish?

Leeds totally dominating against Rotherham but still somehow level. Sound familiar?

Edit.

I've had no takers for mine so far so it's yours if you want it.

I have one spare if you're still looking for one?

I have a spare ticket if anyone lis looking for one.

Thanks for the previous links. I guess I should have realised that we aren't the only country that has rowed back somewhat on its net zero pledges. I'd love to know though - on what do you base your assertion that the drive to reduce emissions is making us all poorer and more miserable?

This is simply untrue. https://www.iea.org/reports/an-energy-sector-roadmap-to-carbon-neutrality-in-china https://www.iea.org/commentaries/india-s-clean-energy-transition-is-rapidly-underway-benefiting-the-entire-world

Such as?

You do realise that this problem was solved because the international community recognised the danger and worked together to do something about it, right?

Q&A: Warming of 2C would trigger ‘catastrophic’ loss of world’s ice, new report says - Carbon Brief Global warming of 2C would see “extensive, long-term [and] essentially irreversible” losses from the Earth’s ice sheets and glaciers, warns a new report. It would also lead to polar oceans that are “ice-free” in summer and suffering “essentially permanent corrosive ocean acidification”, the report says. The 2023 “state of the cryosphere” report from the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI) lays out the impacts on Earth’s frozen land and seas from sustained warming at 2C and the “catastrophic global damage” that would result. These impacts would include “potentially rapid, irreversible sea level rise from the Earth’s ice sheets”, the report says, with a “compelling number of new studies” all pointing to thresholds of sustained ice loss for both Greenland and parts of Antarctica at well-below 2C. This would commit the world to “between 12 and 20 metres” of sea level rise “if 2C becomes the new constant”.
