So you want to take off Valery and replace him with Salisu and KWP? I think the ref might notice if we start the second half with 12 men on the pitch! 😉

Well, there is an excuse for it - the fact that we have two tough away games in the next 7 days and need to kep players fresh. But he has under-estimated Coventry and made too many changes.

That was a decent run and cross from Small.

Should have been 0-2.

Wrong choice from Armstrong. redmond was in acres of space in the middle. He looks like he's trying too hard to impress at times.

Redmond coming on so we're changing shape. Valery as a CB in a 2 terrifies me.

He's 17 years old and he's 25 minutes into his senior debut, and you've already written him off as crap. Classy.

Shocking defending.

What on Earth was Small thinking with that header? I'll chalk that one up to nerves due to this being his first senior start.

Reminds me a bit of the kit we wore for the EFL cup final in 2017.

In fairness that was a decent effort on target from him just then.

Money can't buy moments like that.

Well at least now we know Utd won't be live on TV in the next round.

Some top quality penalties so far.

Apparently because there was another touch before it was put in the net. I'm still in favour of using VAR but that's farcical. Such an obvious handball. What's the point of even having VAR if it's not going to pick that up.

How did VAR not disallow that Boro goal?

I note they are really struggling to find any senior MPs to come on the air and continue to defend the indefensible. They'll be wheeling out Comical Ali next

Exactly. They've all scarpered before before the despicable prick can throw them under the bus to save his own sorry arse.

It should henceforth be called the Minsk memorial points comparison thread.

Corruption in African football you say? I'm shocked 😐 In all seriousness, good on him for sticking to his principles and refusing a call-up. It's good to know there are still people in football with morals.

Exactly. If you're going to have a "no lying" rule then you can't also have a rule preventing people from calling out lies. It's ridiculous.

So let me just get this straight... On Monday Ian Blackford states an established truth that Johnson misled the house, refuses to back down and gets ejected. Today at PMQs, Johnson refuses to withdraw/apologise for his earlier slur against Starmer which has been established as untrue - no consequences whatsoever. What a joke.

It's not on terrestrial TV (cos nobody gives a shit about a cup tie between a mid-table PL team and a mid-table Champ team). Unsure if there will be any streams either, cos the game would have to be televised somewhere in the world for there to be any, so I doubt it.

I can only echo this Minsk, and extend my sincerest sympathies and thanks for your contribution to this community over the years.
