6-6. Jesus.

6-6. Ah, there you go. That feeling.

Nope, 7-6. We scored apparently. Mistake on my results service (I ain't stupid enough to watch this.)

7-7. Lol.

We missed that time apparently.

And we're out 8-7 on pens. Duke and Godfrey scored but then Tom Davies missed. Although my little thread here has made a nice pattern, which is nice.

On to Everton 0-1 Norwich at the weekend then. Good times.

Turns out that Godfrey missed but the keeper was off his line. So we got a second life and still lost. What a time to be alive...

I'm not laughing.

We really could do with another transfer window, just for us. Even assuming Rondon isn't fully fit, he's one of the worst players I've ever seen. He looks like he's in his 40s and hasn't played football at any level for a decade. Poor old Rafa. "Don't worry Mr Benitez, if DCL gets injured we've got Richarlison to play up top. Oh and if they both get injured at the same time, we've got Ellis Simms - or we will have in a few months when he's fully fit and we've taught him some movement. And failing that we've got Rondon, who hasn't played for a decade but we can get him out of the pub and have him fit by Christmas just in case...". Mind you, it was Rafa that signed Rondon, so this one's on him.

Davies, Kenny, Gomes, Holgate. Very sad to say that time's up on these four. I love Tom Davies. Well, I love the idea of Tom Davies, but he's looking burnt out and he's only in his early 20s. Do the lad a favour and sell him to a lower league team where he can be captain inspiration and the fans will love him. Anyway, all of them need selling. We won't win a game with them in the team together.

Gordon - okay, he's great at running into space and he probably deserves another go, but at best he looks like a sub.

Begovic. Not as good as Olsen. Maybe we should try Rondon in goal on Saturday and Begovic up front? Can't be any worse.

Godfrey. Clearly hasn't fully recovered from Covid. He's half the player he was last season. Needs a good few weeks conditioning training before he's ready to play a full 90 minutes.

Iwobi. What can you say about Iwobi? Again, I like the lad, he seems very nice and he clearly has skills. But he's fucking terrible.

On the bright side, Townsend was immense again. Weird that we're relying on a has-been who came in on a free, but he's a top player and works his bollocks off too.

I mean, this is why the good start to the league season was so crucial. We're like a cheap bookshelf - scrape away that thin film of quality holding it all together and we're just a load of MDF, quite useless on its own. Our IKEA name at the moment is WÄNK.

So to pick up 10 points from 4 games was fucking gold dust because, while I have never imagined us actually going down this season (Richie and DCL will see to that if they remain fit enough) I can absolutely see a Newcastle-type season playing out if we lose the few quality players we have for a prolonged period. I've said it before, if Rafa keeps our head above the water for a couple of seasons, as we inch closer to the new stadium and more FFP leeway, then he's done his job in my book.

It seems FFP has really screwed us over this season, heard that If James Rodriguez doesn't go to Al Ryyan (Quatar) we could be liable for reprimand by UEFA for breaching FFP rules. heavy fine plus points deduction ,but its ok for our neighbours to try and end football in this Country as we know it and they only suffer a shared poultry fine £20 million between the six culprits..

I honestly think next year is are year, why? Because your Chelsea's-Man City's and even Villa will suffer at the hands of FFP. cheers

£20 million? That's chicken-feed.
