Aaaaanyway....back to the football-today's game

NUFC vs West Brom

Ordinarily, against a team on such a dire run, you'd think a home win was a safe bet...but....nothing's ordinary at this point so this could go either way.

It looks like Mrs Doubtfire is going to persist with Joelinton (Let's not forget that for 85 minutes or so he was his usual absolute shite self) but at least that means that Wilson shouldn't be isolated. No idea who else is available but I'll be disappointed to see Hendrick start.

There's every chance this could be not only last on Match of the Day but they create a special 'after-show' for this match alone and advise people not to watch it.

I rate Slaven Billic, he’d do a damn sight better than Bruce if he was our manager.

Our lack of fitness & training means WBA are the huge favourite here.

Mind, lack of training's nowt new...

Expect a few “soft tissue” issues for us to today which will carry over into the hectic holiday schedule.

Not a bad line up but if M Longstaff still cant get a start in these circumstances when will he ever ? He should start ahead of his brother everytime

I actually fancy Sean to score today.

West Brom concede loads and don't score, plus their main chance creator is suspended.

Nipped out to do a quick hour on my bike but my chain's come off and is currently jammed. Kind of it to spare me having to watch the first half.

And just to clarify, a 'quick hour' is when you've left it too late to get a full hour in.
