Second half was considerably more eventful than the first. One penalty (incorrectly awarded IMO), one penalty save, 4 goals of which NUFC got three.
Canny day oot.

#NUFC line up largely as expected, apart from Krafth for an ill Trippier and playing two Nick Popes.
Today surely has to be the day we get our first away PL win of the season?

Had the family in tow for the second part of the #NUFC double header. The lasses couldn’t emulate the lads and get the win (wasn’t a great performance), but at least they got a point.

Can’t avoid getting some massive clubs, which is part of the attraction of playing in the CL in the first place. Would like some easier ties from other pots so we can progress though. #NUFC

The #Oasis gig at Murrayfield last night was easily one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. When I got tickets I presumed that they’d just be going through the motions for the money. Never heard them play so well. Blown away.

Mate is a Liverpool fan, who is desperate for them to sign Isak. Keeps sending me any gossip on him. Just sent me this Fabio titbit, to which my response was - all that shows is that nothing has changed. I also pointed out the crucial difference between “doesn’t want to play” and “WON’T play”.

The other names fair enough, but I can’t remember #NUFC being in for Cunha at any point. He plays in a position we are pretty well stocked in.

He’s not alone in reporting it now, although I take anything that is being said by any party in this debacle with a hefty pinch of salt.

If Liverpool genuinely meant this, then what would be the point of the past month of unsettling the lad? I don’t buy it for a second. They’ll have another go.

Why you really should take transfer gossip with a truck full of salt, part 365,000

I might be the first to mention this, but it’s canny warm out there today. 🥵
Heart pounding out of my chest on a grass running session around the little moor earlier today. A few locals dotted around on picnic blankets wondering what this lunatic was doing. I wondered myself.

NEVER IN DOUBT! 😬⬛️⬜️⬛️⬜️
In all the likely scenarios I ran through my head in the build up to the game, none of them included us losing and Man Utd getting us out of jail. Ah well, who gives a toss - 🎶is this the way to Barcelona…?🎶

Lesson of the day: Wu-Tang Clan make for excellent gardening music, with the added bonus on sunny days of reminding you to go inside and whack some factor 50 on when ‘Protect Ya Neck’ comes on.

5000m on the track for my club, again purely making up the numbers. Pulled on the spikes for the first time in a couple of years. Thanks to horrendous traffic, I only made it without about 5 mins to spare before my race started. Got round, then made it into town to grab a pre-match Greggs #refuel

Bit of parkrun tourism, as I’m down in London visiting in-laws (not as exciting as the last time I was down for the cup final, sadly). Not as fast as I’d hoped, bit tired and hayfever starting to kick in, but not bad. Lovely welcoming parkrun at Southwark.

Easter holidays, except the Mrs is still working. Trip to Gateshead Stadium so I could do a track session, whilst my kids entertained themselves trackside. Worked well, only interrupted me on my recoveries at least.

Made my racing comeback for my club at the National 12 Stage Road Relays at Sutton Park today. Hot day, tough course so wasn’t pretty. Was about 90s slower than the last time I ran, but considering I had a hip replacement 7 months ago, I’ll take being there at all.
