I agree. I feel a bit anxious about us possibly (probably) heading into next season with him as our first choice.

Oh, and out of interest, what do you think of Yamaguchi?

True, but there aren’t going to get better by just training. And remember which other youngsters hardly played when they were with us (Itakura, Miyoshi).

On the evidence of the game we played against them, because he’s completely shite 😸

No need to be. And it's mercifully short too!

Don't forget that Ito wasn't preferred at the start of the season. And I seem to have given up with man of the match awards now. But definitely is right up there for player of the season.

I’d be happy for VAR to be binned totally as it’s a disaster for fans in the stadium, particularly when you can’t even guarantee the final decision will be the correct one. But I feel that there probably has been too much money invested already for that to happen.

Almost as bad an excuse as Pete Townshend’s or the MP who got caught looking at naughty stuff in the UK parliament

It’s always the same games where the idiots come out it seems. I hope the league is kind of aware of this. I know we get treated significantly differently from some other teams with more idiots in their fan base. Not mentioning any club names, but I’m sure you know who I’m talking about

Delighted! Couldn’t have happened to a more arseholey arsehole!

You could sign his brother.

Thanks! Yeah, I'd already whinged enough I thought. Plenty of weird decisions from him. I think Wakizaka was quite lucky to stay on the pitch

Without wanting to scoop my own blog post, that felt like a game that neither team deserved to lose but neither deserved to win. A good warm up for what will presumably be a 0-0 and a one goal win in the upcoming Levain games.

When the game finishes I will respond to this…
