Dr Gloom

3 points for Wigan

Fuck me, we haven’t won at the emirates since Carrol scored that header. I was at that game in an executive box. The prawn sandwiches were flowing freely

he had an illness, apparently

They were pretty toothless without him at sjp

Balls. Odegaard is back

I was convinced he would I start Longstaff though so fair play to Eddie. Looks like he’s going to try to attack the game.

I would have played Miley. He’s the closest we have to Bruno to in terms of creativity on the ball. That midfield doesn’t lack industry or legs but not sure it’s balanced

we’ve still got to play all the “big” sides away from home too so I think top 6 is a good season for us. Top 8 probably about par. Anything lower than that would be disappointing but would be mitigated by a cup win

the wife threatened to leave me if don't give up my disgusting habits. i was so shocked, i nearly spat out my toenails

i saw an old man fall into a well. i guess he couldn't see that well

I wasn’t sure about my beard at first But then it grew on me

A book just fell on my head. I only have my shelf to blame

Because of course they’ve got another £70m to drop

we'd have to win pretty much all of our remaining games to have a chance. even then, it would leave us on 89 points, which isn't always enough. so yeah, probably less than a 1% chance of it happening. this run has put us back in the mix for champions league though, as it will probably the top 5 that qualify this year. i'd say we have a top 4 first team but a midtable squad. if we can steer clear of injuries and add a player or two this month, we can get champions league football again.

i think odegaard and martinelli are injury doubts for them, plus saka is out

I’m ice cold about this fixture. If we can grind out a draw or a defeat by the odd goal, it’s game on back at SJP

hope they don't drag us into the type of game they want

Dury: “this is how Liverpool United is supposed to sound”. Cock in hand as he drools over his two favourite teams

Truly terrible to see one of our best players back in form again.
