MMXXVIII

What's everyone's guilty pleasure with words? 'Spacker' is mine, though I do like 'flid' and feel it's criminally underused.

Get some hoes.

Confidence is playing a big part, but I don't think many of them have the ability to play the way Howe wants us to.

You would think Willock is the most likely beneficiary of playing Wood. I like Howe and do think he'll get us going in the right direction once the deadwood is out, but aye he's not making sense at times.

Same. Rafa knew they weren't up to playing football and forged a plan to keep us up. Howe wants to play another way but most of them aren't capable of executing it. Trippier spun a couple of belting balls into Fraser in a dangerous area today and he couldn't even get control of it.

I'll be surprised if there's a slower midfield in the country. The amount of basic, unforced errors we make is unbelievable. Usually results in all hands to the pump as well. Lascelles and Saint-Maximin are the biggest culprits.

It felt like he values anyone who panders to him over everything else.

Made me think of Fury v Wilder III.

I think Hayden was feigning a head injury to get the play stopped, but there's no way Dean could have known that and aye if that's at the other end we'd not have had a chance to get the cross in.

Apply themselves like that til May we'll be fine. If Dubravka is in goal we win today; first mistake and I knew it before kick off. Might be a player in Joelinton after all.

I expect Hales took the pics.

Howe will prove to be an amazing appointment. The players are limited but capable under a capable manager, I'm thankful it's happened in November. We'll look ready to push on in a few months.

My mate wrote a script where this cunt got kidnapped. Never made production; shame, Kelly Rowland was on board.

I think he just concentrated on getting us fit and hard to beat again. He knew it was short term and it was the right approach from where we were in a period of uncertainty. I'd have done the same.

The mole was actually Steve Bruce indulging in a sex fetish. He'd make the call then read The Daily Mail with a side lob.
