Not entirely sure it was Miller's arm but more the trailing foot of the other defender. Weak fall for the pen too. Surprised Metcalfe didn't take a penalty being fresh and all.

I'm at a German party in Wennigsen with beer on the house and all I want is a Chippefield in Uzbekistan

Bos starting. Metcalfe came on and St Pauli needed penalties to advance. Hannover losing in cup but I'm at party with beer on tap and if we get Segecic that's all that matters right now.

Reading Milanovic cut it back for Yengi too.

Goal for Yengi!

Yeah but Popovic prefers Borrello. Good on his day but we need to set up the next decade.

The snippets of Irankunda against Norwich were good. Norwich have a strong core squad so their cup teams are good too.

I know a lot of journalists are idiots but the talksport questions to Emery were fair. He got fired up after being asked how he felt his team responded due to a tough first half and Newcastle having many chances. The reporter stated a fact and Emery fired up saying the journalist basically...

We had the Arzani and Tilio wave of hope which both faded. These other guys are proving themselves overseas and they just have that bigger ceiling. I'm gutted. If Segecic isn't picked it must be pitchforks at the next press conference.

Triantis not in Sunderland squad. Good luck lad. I shall say no more.

We're broken records on here. A year isn't always a long time so we should've found a squad slot for these lads when we had the final games in the preliminary stage and it would've all been sorted. The managers feared then having more players to please but once the better ones rise it makes for...

It's set up badly as Segecic rightly gestured due to his snub after scoring. Botic too. You know how Popovic is with his ego. Yeah, we'll have a wonderful box mid of Irvine, O'Neill, Caceres and Metcalfe fumbling around not knowing what to do half the time. Good lads but the WC isn't a charity...

Just want to cry. Imagine a box midfield of Triantis Balard Robertson and Segecic... Ballers.

Derby lose 5:3 but not criticism of Elder. Glad got Segecic but this currently doesn't help our situation. He must be picked 2 of the next 3 windows. Perhaps an arrangement regarding club time and travel can be made.

It's just so brutal that the next lock cap is a WC game meaning the friendlies appease but don't actually confirm anything.
