Forest have sacked Steve Cooper. Another that's not entirely unexpected, but something of a shame.

I don't see the point. They are going to need him to gain promotion next year.

Genuine quality from Kudus, Pacqueta and Bowen. Hopeful of a trophy this season. Though not the Caraboa Cup obviously! West Ham seem properly schizophrenic this season, alternating from great wins to crushing defeats.

This Liverpool Newcastle game in properly nuts. Liverpool have literally had 135 shots on target, Newcastle have touched the ball twice, and scored twice.

Can't believe the ref gave that penalty against us. I was by the corner flag on the other half of the pitch and could see it was a clear dive. Cheating rat-faced bastard.

I thought you played some decent stuff, albeit without much of a cutting edge. You looked quite good for a team that's not doing that well in League One. How do you feel things are going?

As a United fan I thought the penalty was harsh, contact was made, not enough to go down , screaming in pain. United lacked the ability to put the ball in the net, we were slow, uninspired and the only bonus came in the shape of being able to practice our passing. Watching the game was not very enjoyable, Wigan were frankly dreadful with absolutely nothing of merit worth a mention. They kept themselves in it, repeated the pundits repeatedly, they didn't, United cannot score goals. If they could then they would have been 4-0 up at half-time. For both sets of fans, it was generally a miserable watch and just another example of how poor they both are.

We started the season well, but we've tailed off a bit as the season goes on. It's understandable, really, we've got a limited squad and a transfer embargo, so our squad depth is not great at all. We're relying on loans and academy players. Luckily in league one we don't face defenders as composed as Varane that often, and we do tend to be fairly clinical in front of goal. If we didn't have a 10 point penalty, I'd be much more happier, but I think we can scrape enough points to survive.

Thought there was some swift passing and you looked dangerous on the flanks. You got sloppy in the second half, but before that it was more purposeful than most of the performances I've seen this season. Don't think Hojland will make it for you long term, don't think his technique is up to scratch.

Hojland is better than this. Bruno and Rashford are intent on worldie, passes,shots,goals. Wasteful more than productive. McTominay is just a waste of space. Mainoo looks good,Garnacho has to make better decisions,Antony and Pellistri can fuck off with Martial
Maguire,Shaw,Eriksen,Mount,diallo all Ill or injured. Casemiro training along with Martinez. Woeful football, terrible goalkeeper. It is a club in crisis, deep,deep in trouble. EtH talks out of his arse, seems to watch a different game to the rest of us and talks about two trophies still to play for. We should ask Arsenal about Ramsdale.

Hojland is better than this. we'll see. You've bought him for his pace, power and strength, but you can have all the physical attributes in the world, but you won't make it at a top club without the technical ability to go with it. He looks cumbersome to me, never fully in control of the ball...which is a bad sign in a young player. Suggests his technique isn't good enough.

I take comfort that he is better than Havertz.
