Another thing. 9 points clear and the narrative would have been that it’s all over. Which it wouldn’t have been. And on the back of what would have been a frankly undeserved win. Could easily have turned into complacency. Now we’ve got a sense of injustice, anger and resentment. And a reminder never, ever take anything for granted and that it’s never done until it’s done. There’s a lot to be said for this kind of lesson. And who wouldn’t have taken this position at the start of the season?

Ok I’m as devoed as anyone but we are 7 points clear in February. And we never, ever, ever have to go to that toxic f***ing s***hole ever again.

2nd best here in truth

This is incredibly frustrating

I’m having serious mood swings between properly nailing these and I don’t see how we don’t get beat. It does worry me how we react to what will undoubtedly be a uniquely toxic atmosphere.

I was on the Gwladys. I’ve thought about it a lot over the years. Our goals were like small groups of lads performing wild, joyous Russian dances in a dark brooding forest being watched by thousand of sinister, evil eyes. Their goals were like being small groups of desolate lads stood on rafts in a terrible storm in a dark s***ty ocean.

It’s going to be feral, that much I do know.

It would have broken my hair ref.

We should have fielded them today.

Some sort of prescient fear, presumably.

That was really poor. When I saw the line up I thought it was a surprising it strong front 3 and should get the job done. Diaz put a shift in but he seems to have lost his ability to impact games. Jota wasn’t really on his game but got 90 mins under his belt at least. But Chiesa’s ability to do the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time was just incredible. Nunez was as Nunez is. And yeah Elliott was horrendous. I’m actually quite down about it really.

Daniel Farke needs to Farke off. He’s taken people’s failure to understand both the tone and the context of what Shankly said to new levels: (re Millwall chanting about the Leeds fans killed in Turkey) When asked about the chanting, Farke said: "During the game, I was so focused that I didn't hear [the chants]. "But in general, you know my attitude and there's nothing more stupid than the old quote 'football is not about life or death, it's much more serious'. "I think it's a stupid quote and has nothing to do with the values of the whole football world. "The health of human beings is always much more important than just a football game.

We need to *ahem* win the f***ing lot. If we do then I suspect you will get your wish. Yeah he’s clean isn’t he. Contrast him with Ten Hag with his flat caps & polo neck jumpers and that. At his high water mark I think he was only a couple of wins away from sporting a fedora.

Some performance this

Will they recognise each other’s co-hosting?
