Sorry, I lost my way there! I just hate the 'product' that football has become. As if it's a fucking Disney film, there to shift lunchboxes, cheap replica kits and bedsheets.

Love that, I’m going to steal that

I imagine it is on the thread somewhere, but save me looking, who is our game in hand against?

I assume Sheffield United, Arsenal or Citeh. UTV.

Sheffield United.

Thanks. I see a win for them would secure 5th, so they would be seriously motivated.

They've had an incredible season so far
they were my favourites to go down at the start, I thought they would finish adrift at the bottom

Even if they were 3-0 up with 9 minutes to go, I wouldn’t back us to lose.

I thought they would struggle to score , which they have to a degree but they are rock solid at the back.It's the major difference between us/Norwich and them , Norwich and us are awful in defence

Watching the Dortmund game , subs wear masks and sit 2 mtrs apart - whats the point haven't they all been tested.Lack of fans made worse by size of stadium just a echo chamber

Just please get to operation restart, get our game in hand won and then shut the god damn thing down!

This is about where I'm at with it. I think it'll be extremely unlikely that there won't be another stoppage when/if it starts again, simply because I don't believe there won't be another catastrophic rise in the infection rate. Smith might get two games to get us above that line and we've got to take that chance.

Zing! 

Andre Green's brightest, most beautiful moment. What a fucking header...just thinking about it now has made me miss football for the first time since Covid.

I like those highlights, it's very easy to spot myself in the crowd by the end!

Amazing finish. I lost my voice for about three days afterwards.

I didn't. I sodded off after 72 minutes.

No need to thank me!

You weren't alone. I was in the Lower Holte and there weren't many left around me. Felt like a full house when the third went in, though!
