I wanna see Derby win so that we see Hudd at the new stadium next season and so that we have better chance signing Sessesgnon, who I’d take to WC over Welbeck and Walcott all day!

Carson must have been tempted to give him a punt there when he was on the floor.

Awful dive.

Indeed, if the ref didn't spot it or was just Jon Moss for instance he'd probably be off.

Why dive there? He was past the keeper for a tap in.

I know, the commentators just mostly made something out of how bad it was for him dive for morals sake which is fair but didn't emphasise how stupid a decision it was in just a footballing sense. Really really poor and in such a match too.

You know when you get an ex-pro playing in a charity match? That's what Huddlestone reminds me of these days.

Loved the guy to bits when he played for us. But fuck me if you thought he was slow back then...

Yeah, but that clip out to the left wing would embarrass most of our squad with even Eriksen checking to make sure it was in his locker.

It's like watching a robot who is programmed to go down whenever possible. Can't imagine what he was thinking.

I think that was it really, it's as if as soon as he saw the keeper coming or as soon as he'd hit the ball over him he'd told himself he will go down, regardless of the position he was in. Very strange and very stupid.

Pretty boring match here. Not the worst 0-0 but far from the greatest. Needed a Boro goal for the sake of a better match really.
