Northern Red

Either very brave or very stupid depending on your view.

He didn't give it the Siuuuu nonsense, which is a giveaway that he didn't touch it.

You'd like to think they'd learn the lesson from Fulham last season.

We did get Liverpool not so long ago but messed up the replay against Shrewsbury.

We scored 6 the other day.

They always qualify for these things yet I never remember them doing anything interesting, except beating Spain when they were defending champions a few years ago.

I'd not sure what would be funnier, drawing Boreham Wood or them getting a trip to Anfield or Old Trafford.

Good to see the performative outrage competition has started a day early.

Pearce is down to do Ghana v South Korea tomorrow, with Antoine involved he'll barely be able to contain himself.

Yeah, yesterday was one that could have gone the other way with a bit of luck and better execution. Luatua being back makes a hell of difference, just need to keep him fit. The point about lack of relegation is a valid one, it does take the pressure off and perhaps means that coaches are more likely to try different things and take risks with the knowledge that if they lose then it's not the end of the world. It does seem that the league is in a bit of a state of flux at the moment with the 2 teams pulling out and nobody quite knowing what the structure is going to look like beyond this season.

Bosch!

Newport lead Derby through the superbly named Priestley Farquharson

Game over

Sunderland and Millwall are playing each other next Saturday although that one is a rearrangement from the weekend that was called off after the Queen died.

Reasonable chance this ends in a brawl at full time.

The Polish manager could pass for Nige's chubbier younger brother.

I don't think you actually believe this.

Doesn't help when ITV News are making out that England's qualification is in far more peril than is actually the case. Sensationalist nonsense that only feeds the overreaction.

I thought you were boycotting?

Performative outrage competition is in full flow. Some strong entries so far.

But we didn't especially need a goal at that point, we needed to be more solid because they were all over us. Henderson did that. Maddison is injured.

We did. Doesn't add much creatively but we were a lot more solid.

Meh. If you can't win make sure you don't lose. I'm sure the reaction will be calm, sensible and in no way irrational.

My word.
