    No smart arse I did not mean your two off beat characters, furthermore my spelling for Origi was spot on so you must be some kind of idiot to allegedly misunderstand who I meant by confusing him with a ******* Japanese paper folder :rolleyes:

    As for Iheanacho, as I mentioned in my original post my spelling was a bit off there, but I think most people probably realised who I was talking about, except perhaps for fools like you who seem to think I was talking about some sort of snack eating monster :p

    Has anyone admitted its been gash so far? Or are all the pundits and commentators creaming themselves over it?

    Leicester looked very ordinary tonight. Our point against them isn't as impressive as I thought based on the way they played against Brighton.

    Surely more likely after Anthea “gave us a twirl”?

    Really enjoy seeing the match day staff disinfecting the goalposts during water breaks. Genuine highlight of each match day for me.

    I turned off tonight's Leicester-Brighton match to watch The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross which, I think, tells you all you need to know about the game! One of the books I've been pretending to read during the lockdown is 'Can We Have Our Football Back' by John Nicholson. If you're as fed up with the SKY TV Premier League hype and bullsh1t as I am, I thoroughly recommend it.

    They may as well not bothered.

    Ball has hardly been near the goals

    Our game tonight will surely go down in history as one of the worst ever.

    Owen Goal scores for Spuds. About the only way it was going to happen.

    Just against the ressies as far as I can tell, the club certainly didn’t publicise anything.

    West Ham are way out of luck on the goal but Spuds have missed a load of chances before that. Just the sort of goal teams in trouble concede

    Can we all just take a second to appreciate how deeply funny it would be if Wet Spam went down.

    A 80,000-all-seater-all-but-empty-not-really-a-football-stadium in the championship will certainly be amusing to see

    One thing is for sure, none of the teams below us are going to reach 40 points. Garbage.

    Massive two games coming up for us now! Back to back wins against Burnley and Saints potentially will see us 7 points above Wet Pam if they lose their next game against Chelsea (which you'd imagine they will). Would also all but see us safe IMO!

    Got to pull out all the stops Thursday night first! No excuses, we should be beating a severely depleted Burnley!

    Will pubs near football grounds be allowed to open on match days?

    That must be a potential risk for crowds.

    Spam were awful. They looked dejected and lost out there. I'm dreading our match against them.It is going to be so Watfordy.

    The weather is going to play a big part this week. It's going to be close to 30 degrees when we play at Burnley and for the games tonight. How the hell do you play with any intensity in that heat ? I anticipate lots of 0-0 scores.

    It’s Burnley. It’ll be 30 everywhere else in the country but Burnley will be wet and grey (and racist).

    Yes unfortunately not traditional grey racist weather tomorrow. Maybe the heat will affect the gritty northern whiteys more than our black and Latino players ? God punishing racists ? Or maybe it will be played at walking pace and the outcome come down to one set piece, in which case we are doomed. God punishing wimps?

    I expect the MOTD pundits will come at this from a similar angle.

    ‘He’s put the corner in, it’s sailed over Pereyra’s head and you’ve got to ask yourself, is god punishing him for being foreign and a wimp?’

    I think you are wrong, RP will work at his normal speed and intensity, everyone around him will be slowed by the heat so he will look quick. A match winning performance from RP at Burnley.

    I suspect they have already pre-recorded this comment to play following the 25 seconds of match highlights.

    With David Luiz signing a contract extension at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has said: “David is a really important player for us.”
    Not as important as he is to all the teams who play against you, Mikel!
