Oh, bring me a Botman, I'll give any money
And you for your trouble rewarded shall be
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey
Or scull her across the rough river to me

Just watched a couple of sim laps of the Jeddah circuit. High speeds, hardly any run off areas. It's going to be carnage - and I'm not sure in a good way...

Joelinton was quality though. Won everything.

Ugh. All that hard work for 1 point. I hope Clark never plays for us again.

I f***ing hate Ciaran Clark

Emenalo would be good - not quite Overmars level of overperformance but good track record.

Yep, quite excited about the appointment (despite the generally middling feeling in the press). And he needs this as well.

God that was an awful second half. Darlow is not a good goalkeeper, hopefully Dubravka is back next week. ASM hasn’t pulled his weight this week or last, zero tracking and zero creation. How Fraser, Ritchie, Krafth and Clark are getting games over Almiron, Lewis, Schär and Fernandez is baffling to me

Can work the other way too. My nephews spent time in the Singapore education system and both felt like idiots there, near the bottom of the class in everything and then returned to the UK and found themselves walking it. Especially in regard to maths and the sciences. Plus there's the difference in...

A proper manager

His payoffs are fecking huge!

Is he a good family man though?

My girlfriend went to school with his son and apparently they're a whole family of tossers. So I guess he's a role model, of sorts.

Great race. Max at risk of running away with it now though…

Defensively we were better, but still had multiple serious let-offs. Worldie from Wilson got us out of jail, but we’re still deep in the s*** and Watford’s win means we’re risking getting cut off at the bottom. Chelsea next week is going to be grim…

How can their centreback be allowed to hold two men’s shirts to stop them getting a jump

ASM playing like Atsu today… he’s lost the ball so often

I think we’ve been defensively better than we have been in a while, but that has come at the cost of our attacking play… have we had a shot on target…?

Ritchie is a defensive liability mind, giving the ball away constantly and a yellow card waiting to happen.

I’m guessing this is 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 with Ritchie and Fraser as orthodox wingers. Dropping Willock is a big shout

Finally. Good decision. RE: Graeme Jones as Interim Manager rather than just a caretaker, I'm OK with this. Gives us a couple of weeks to sort out our whole structure, including the Sporting Director and Head Coach. I think ideally we'd have both of those before Brighton (6th Nov), so the new manage...
