Sheaf Saint

And then then he doesn't book Neto for simulation, after reversing the penalty decision because VAR showed it was a blatant dive. Bizarre.

Can someone please explain to me how Podence deserved a booking for that? Chilwell was timewasting, wouldn't give him the ball, and appeared to put his hand to his throat from the replay. That's ridiculous.

Are we allowed to claim that this game is 2 of our European chasing rivals currently taking points off each other? Or is that getting a bit ahead of ourselves?

I watched the highlights of their game against Burnley, and they actually created some decent chances and forced a few good saves from Pope. I'd like to think they won't get anything like the time and space around our box that Burnley gave them, but they are not as laughably bad as many are suggesting. Will be a difficult game for sure.

Looking good against Gillingham is one thing, but producing regularly in the PL is completely different. If he came back now he would be 5th choice competing for the two AM positions. Probably wouldn't even make the bench most weeks. Time to let him go and build a career as a first team player, as his ability deserves.

That's it then. California has just formally given its 55 votes to Biden, taking him to 302. Will be very interesting to see what Donny's next move will be.

Don't think so as the game isn't being shown on Sky.

Well that was short-lived. He's back to spreading the same baseless drivel on Twitter again. Is it today that the electoral college vote to finalise everything?

It's a weird one alright. I struggle to think of any games for us where he really shone. No lack of effort, and he was very good at winning the ball back, but he never managed to do anything with it once he had because his passing was always so poor. I was very happy to see him go for the fee we got for him.

Perhaps because, this faux pas aside (which he acknowledged and joked about), he's clearly more intelligent than your average ex-player, is usually very knowledgeable and insightful, and is actually one of the better pundits around these days. But yeah, if it makes you happy then you keep telling yourself he's only there because of some leftie, liberal 'woke' agenda, you monumental bellend.

If Cedric starts for them, at least we know we won't have to worry about any attacking threat from their RB position. Means we will be able to commit Bertrand forward more. And any FKs we get anywhere near the box, we'll just instruct JWP to aim them at him and get JV to mark him.

I'd rather they hadn't lost tonight TBH. No matter how bad they are right now, I can't see them losing at home twice in one week.

Thought that was going to get ruled out for his fingernail being offside. And there's number 3. Seems Brighton are a pushover after all.

Bugger. Down to 4th as it stands.

Decent game this. Brighton are no pushover as we found out on Monday.

He probably knows what we all know - that Lemina's ability is undeniable. But his application and attitude will forever prevent him from being a truly great player.

That's his one decent performance done for this half of the season then.

Brighton didn't deserve to lose to us last week, and Leicester only beat Sheff Utd with a very late goal in a game they didn't really deserve to win. A Leicester win is far from a certainty. Having said that, they'll probably smash them 5-0 now 😂

Yep. Theo's run which won the FK that JWP put just over the bar being a good example.

Liverpool wil inevitably get their usual suspect penalty in the second half.

Oh yeah. For some reason I thought that was our 11th game, not 12th. Oops.

Our PPG is up over 2 now. Can't remember the last time that was the case.

Redders on for Theo.

Adams a good shout. JWP has been absolutely masterful today. JV has been a rock again, but given how toothless their attack has been it wouldn't feel right giving it to a defender. That ball to Ings from Adams was glorious.

If we're going to wait until 80 mins then it's probably not worth taking him off at all.
