Very weird, in my case the only thing the app showed me once I’d updated it was the entry field for the code, so it was straightforward once I worked out where my email client had hidden the message. It seems like somehow your phone thinks the app is up to date and therefore doesn’t install the...

Well... this app certainly seems to have riled up our local technophobes! Haveing said which, they seem to have made a complete pigs ear of this update process. No idea why it suddenly decided to ask for an email address, when it normally has a single-sign-on thing going on, iirc. Anyway, the...

I’ve wondered too why he hasn’t been picked up by other clubs. He’s a fabulous player, for sure. I wonder, though, if he’s just a little bit short of the pace needed to be a top premier league fb?

I think he's *almost* really good. But he goes bundling into tackles in a way that looks really clumsy and as a result gives away free kicks just where we least need them. I can understand why a manager may not really trust him

Trust Rusk to put round bickiepegs in round holeipegs

Hmm, I was expecting to be sailing on Sunday, which gave Me a good reason to miss the carnage at St Mary’s. But with racing almost certainly cancelled, seems like I have to go!

And actually Pep didn’t say the thing people on here are quoting, what he actually said was more nuanced and interesting. He said one reason they only scored one was because they didn’t have much of the ball (less than 60% in fact which is remarkably low for City at home). He then went on to say...

Well... in some parallel universe it makes sense - the one where we keep a clean sheet until 60 minutes and then bring on the cavalry. But then the players fall for the quick free kick routine and RM's plan A is ruined. And we know he doesn't have a plan B

It’s the Cape of Good Hope that kills you

Not the result we wanted, but still: just a game of football. For Stuart Armstrong though: an hour ago he was looking forward to negotiating a final lucrative contract to see out his career, maybe somewhere exotic like Italy or back to Celtic. He was excited about playing for Scotland in the...

Russell has had three weeks to work with him, which he didn’t really have back in the summer because of the uncertainty about whether he’d stay or not. So just maybe we’ll see a different player.

Matchday! Let's sMackem

Second half maybe (he was a long way away from me so hard to tell), but first half he had their right back on toast and was dovetailing nicely with KWP and Stu.

Who’d have guessed, three months ago, that this would mean we will be losing a key member of the squad?

Yesterday was the first time I’ve had a proper look at Aribo since his recent renaissance began. He’s a completely different creature! He looks like he’s lost a load of weight and at the same time learned how to position himself to protect the ball better. Previously he looked like he could run...
