Mark Watson @markwatson.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Aaronsson IMO wrong for this kind of game and Ampadu having an unusually poor half. Have to change at half time surely. As for Brentford, it's Leeds always saying the right players aren't available in window but another area where they are being outplayed here. 140 0

Mark Watson @markwatson.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I seem to remember Meslier being bundled into the net by 3 Spurs players and VAR not intervening to rescind their goal, last time we were in the EPL. So typical "big club decision" and feel more than a bit sorry for #whufc. But #lufc staying up! 090 0

Mark Watson @markwatson.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Awful game, missed Gudmundsson. Not blaming Farke on this one, though Okafor looked not really up to it when he came on (Nmecha isn't a left winger either) and think we'd have been better off with Gnonto. Feels like a useful point tho #lufc 030 0
Mark Watson @markwatson.bsky.social · 15/03/202610 men against 12. Well done for holding on but I think we'd have won that if the ref hadn't been so terrible. Also, Canvot - what an embarrassment to the game he is. #lufc 0100 0

Mark Watson @markwatson.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Feels from the commentary like TNT is showing the West Ham game with the intention of syndicating it to WHUTV. Course it was a red. TBH feels like West Ham staying in cup and taking a straight red on a key player is a good result for us though #lufc 020 0

Mark Watson @markwatson.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Arsenal have a far more expensive squad than us, having done well out of PL/UCL football (and up until 2018, Russian oligarch blood money) but it also feels like Farke misjudged tactics and personnel on this one #lufc 020 0

Mark Watson @markwatson.bsky.social · 29/11/2025On the positive side (deperately looking), I think this is a better set of 1st team players than those that made up the squad of self-regarding RB losers under Marsch/Gracia/Allardyce etc and a decent manager could still turn this around in the second half of the season #lufc 030 0
