Interesting graphic. Brings home the fact our team has been decimated by injuries this season.

Anyone surprised where their team is on that list?

I actually thought West Ham would be much higher than that so that's interesting.

Gayfield again tonight. It's on BBC Scotland (on iplayer if you're outside Scotland) and kick off 7.45pm if anyone wants to try and spot me freezing my tits off while we more than likely get utterly humped by Raith. Just look a few rows behind the away dugout for a light heather coloured coat, a dark hat and I'll be all blurry from how much I'll likely be shivering. 🤣

I'm wearing Arbroath's lovely third kit, a charity one that's yellow and blue.

Of course Raith's away kit today is the same colours and I look like a Fifer. 🙈🤣

I should be opposite cameras though.

I just turned the channel and saw Raith score their 2nd so don't want to jinx it any more

Seen the rows behind their dugout so maybe spotted you

Glad I wasn't the jinx after all Enjoy your evening Tarkan

Oh my god. My voice is gone. We are utterly buzzing.

Thank you. You will have seen me. I was rather rude at times so I need to see if the BBC caught me. 🙈🤣

Apparently my friend saw me and my husband near the end. I moved over to be near the tunnel so entirely possible. 🤣

Spurs finally won 3-1 against Crystal Palace, when we were finding it difficult in the 1st 1/2. Flat for 65/70 minutes. Beautiful last from Som.

2 close friends, opposing supporters, are at Brentford v Chelsea. I'm hoping Chelsea lose, it's 2-2 now.

FFS Forest. You don't try and dribble out in the 9th minute of stoppage time, you hoof it!

It was a win win for me. Would obviously have preferred Liverpool to lose or draw to give Arsenal more than a glimmer of hope, but Forest losing gives Luton a chance of staying up.

Great confidence boosting result for us today.

Thought we were going to share the points with Everton today then two goals in added time for us. Ooft.

DH and I watched the Arbroath match that we'd recorded trying to spot ourselves. There is the most unflattering shot of me right in the middle of the screen clapping away after the final whistle then my friend and DH a little further along.

Dismal first half from Gladbach today (away at Mainz) going 1-0 down into half time, managed to find their mojo in the 2nd half to pull back to 1-1. I actually "watched" the 2nd half which was painful.

Sheffield Wednesday beat Rotherham (so 2nd from bottom beat bottom) but there is still a long long way to go for safety. So I'm resigned to them being relegated. Boro could have done us a solid by beating Stoke, but they are unreliable so i am (unfairly) cross with Boro supporting Mr Bref.

Yes frustrating 70 minutes, didn't look like we were capable of breaking Palace down. Obviously very happy with the 3 points but will need to be on it straight away against Villa next week.
Pleased Werner finally got his goal after his shocking 1st half miss. I took a gamble and a lot of shit from the OH and stuck him in my dream team this week too.

Another win for Gillingham away to Salford. 2-0 and still in the playoff places.

FC Isle of Man back to winning ways yesterday! 1 - 0 against West Didsbury & Chorlton!

Well, that was inevitable!

Gordon Bennett! They're leaving already!

I'm starting to feel sorry for them!

Can't blame the poor fans, 4-0 already

Goal difference might matter at the end of the season.
As I just saw Martinelli get hauled to the ground my heart has hardened...
Oh an a nasty tackle by Bogle.

They are losing discipline-don't want tempers flaring!

Yes, I'm not really enjoying the match like I would be if we were playing the likes of Liverpool or Man City.

I celebrated the first 2 goals, but now it is getting quite boring so I can't imagine that many neutrals (or Sheffield U fans) are still watching.

Arsenal have been outstanding and I couldn't see them losing this fixture, but Sheffield Utd?? Fans deserve better than this team of wet-wipes.

am assuming you're talking about the Blades fans? I'm not a fan of leaving early, but knowing the fans are also protesting the owner/management it really is the only way to push the point across.

My sympathy - as a Wednesday fan - is, of course, limited. But it is an awful thing going on there.
