This has been really, really poor, especially second half. Ings looks affected by this poxy contract situation.

I’d have kept Adams on over Long, no matter how poor he was. What’s the point?

Schools have been the elephant in the room since September. With this new variant clearly more transmissible among children, the government have a clear choice to make. If they decide to keep schools open, they need to level with the public that the R number is very unlikely to fall below 1 as a result. Get teachers higher up the vaccination list and then batten down the hatches and hope for the best until spring. The current dithering and window dressing cannot be allowed to continue. The choice is easy - keep them open and have the virus largely out of control until spring, or close them, reduce the R number but deal with a loss of education, exam chaos and mental health issues. I don’t really envy those making the decision.

This game has the referee it deserves

God the quality of this game is beyond awful.

Laughable that Salisu isn’t ready to start.

Vestergarrd out for 4 weeks FFS

Replacing Ings and Vestergarrd with Stephens and Long. Strength in depth.

I’ve read all 2000 pages and can confirm it’s not as good as Brexiteers insist and not as bad as remainers insist.

Quite. It was an election won on delivering Brexit and delivering Brexit only. And they’ve done that, fair play to them, let’s see how it goes. Thank goodness a proper public emergency that’s a matter of life, death and finances hasn’t come along to test how really ‘proper’ they are. Ah, bollocks.

Pretty much spot on CB Fry! Good call.

Let’s be honest, they’re absolutely useless.

Southampton moved into tier 4 from Boxing Day. So no more crowds.

Looks like they’ll be no Vestergaard, Ings or Redmond.

I still haven’t received my Man Utd refund. Bit of a joke now.

Not the worst set of fixtures really. Ok Liverpool will be tough, but Leeds and Arsenal aren’t exactly terrifying and Leicester’s home form is awful.

We look a bit toothless with Djenepo and Tella. Redmond on now.

Wish a player would take a lifetime ban just to smack the arrogant twat Dean in the face to be honest.

Redmond must be feeling a little hard done by at the moment.

Christmas cancelled for London and the South East with a new tier 4 then.

I can't wait to see this army of volunteers coming into covid-ridden secondary schools to help out with mass testing. I'm sure they'll be lining the streets! Maybe those on furlough could help out and earn their wages for the month?

Moved the ball too slowly against 10 men.

Armstrong sure loves giving the ball away.

I stand corrected 😂

He did indeed. Matt Holland also said 4-2-2-2. I don’t think the coverage is that bad at all and certainly not one sided. Not sure what people expect sometimes, a few of our fans are a bit precious about our standing in the game.
