    They should be on itv or bbc free to all. It would lift some spirits during the gloom ahead. Let's not forget new lockdown starts Thursday i read it as.

    I think 91/92 the fans certainly helped get us over the line, definitely the 12th man.
    I started to notice the opposite effect really at the end of the O'Leary reign, expectations were high, we mostly all started to believe we could be a regular CL team, things started to go wrong and the frustration soon built up on the terraces and onto the pitch.
    Then we had the dawning of social media, where everyone is an expert, without knowing any of the facts, they believe the negative ****e put out because that's what they want to believe, most clubs have a scapegoat and the keyboard Warriors let them know it, so straight away the players confidence is low, they are concentrating on not making a mistake rather than having a positive impact on the game. First mistake and the groans feel 100 times worse than they should it all escalates. I have never and never will boo one of our players, we've had some dross over the years but if they give 100% then they have my support.
    I said at the time and I still believe the lockdown helped our team in those last 9 matches, the final home games the previous seasonafter the SU game were almost unbearable, the first 20 minutes were great, but it soon went quiet and the groans were ringing around the ground, then it was Cooper, last season it was Bamford, neither doing too badly now.
    Having said that, the noise at ER for the games so far in the PL would have lived with those players forever if we were allowed back in, hopefully it won't be too long before they get to experience it

    Hugely one sided first half. Palace hardly ever crossed halfway line

    Different dynamic up front without Sam Greenwoodo young Max trying to get involved. Kenneh is a beast though and can probably play in goal as well as striker if he was asked. Cant belong before this U18 gets a chance in the first team because before long this lad captains England. Thats how highly I rate him

    In fairness it is their 3rd game this week and have a game in Bulgaria to look forward to on Thursday. Be interesting to see how big the impact all these European games have with the season being over a shorter timeframe.

    True. Bielsa is going to get us seriously fit, we’ll run a lot of sides into the ground. Villa were shagged by the end of the game against us.

    As everyone knows, I am the voice and brain of football. I discovered today that Klich is now worth £230m simply because I remembered that Pogba was bought for £89m
