There’s a large glass muaseyum in me the mother in laws conservatory )and various other rooms). For some fucking reason she won’t put empty mayonnaise jars, jam jars, Shloer bottles, an endless supply of 0% fucking lager bottles (ffs), pickle jars etc etc et fucking cetera in her green bin and cannot be arsed to take them to the fucking bottle bank. All washed and in perfect condition btw. Tickets are free, it’s not in Sunderland and any visitor can take a souvenir glass item of their choice. PM me for address.

Unhappy finish.

doff me hat to bournemouth there, I thought they were the best team we've played here this season. plaudits out the way..... we were fucking shocking, that was as grim as fuck, the first 10 minutes we looked like we'd forgot we'd turned up to play a football match. we equalised, we went back to sleep again. our defence was fucking shite, all of them. both wings were fucking awful, I thought gordon in particular had a fucking nightmare. isak had fuck all servive, but created fuck all for himself, completely anonymous. only player I thought who could walk off the pitch looking like he'd put in shift was tonali. we've had a tremendous run, the warning signs it mightve been coming to end were there against wolves i thought. thank fuck we've got southampton coming up next to try to get back on track. I mean we were never gonna win the league, maybe even top 4 is a push, however play even half as bad as that against arsenal in a couple of weeks time and we've got no chance of hanging on to our 2 goal advantage. up at 4am, shit day out, long journey home.

I blame the cunts thinking we could challenge Liverpool for title.

We also had won the last 8 matches in a row. Let them have a bad day. And the recovery time absolutely matters. We've been away at Spurs, Arsenal, and Man United in this run too. It all adds up.

It’s a blip, mate. Combo of us being off it and they being very much on it. They can smell the Champions League and they’re pouncing on it. Iraola is a great manager and he’ll keep them well in contention up to May. 10 in a row was just a bridge too far for our lads but the very fact we stood on the edge of winning 10 games in a row is dreamland. I fully expect a good response away to Southampton after a week to prepare. It was a heavy defeat and that always stings but I’m not reading too much into it. I can handle losing when you were outplayed on the day. What’s important is the response and we have to respond by beating Southampton

@Dazzler thanks for your prior efforts but you've let everybody down massively here and your service is no longer required.

Thank you @Dazzler

I blame Dazzler.

Howay lads, the mackems match thread on us has already overtaken us. Let's try to beat them today.

burnely supporters and the mackems during last night's penalties....

So, is this the day that CT finally..... Oh fuck it

Aye, good effort Fish. Pity no one is going to bother reading it.

Bad day at the office where we were well beaten by the better team on the day. We shouldn’t forget how we’ve managed to turn the season around with 9 games of outrageous form and performances but it’s clear now that Howe has taken us as far as he can. Time to get Mourinho in

Totally deserved result, even without the ref assisting them they were heads and shoulders above us. Too many games for the same players to keep backing up in for us, you could tell from the very start. One to immediately forget and move on from. Have a good rest this week and get hungry for redemption against Southampton.

That is the exact type of game you want Pope in the sticks. So exposed through balls down the channel and over the top. Felt we were in for a tough game today but that was horrendous & has once again exposed our frailties and small squad. They're missing tons of players but Gordon, Murphy, both full backs and Bruno miles off it - couldn't replace any. Still feel changes can be made in game in respect of formation and tactics. What a shit Saturday.

Better man for man today, sadly. They’re a fucking good team and we’re not the only scalp they’ve taken this year. They’ll be up there come May

They’ve bossed us all game. Fully deserved. I’d take Semenyo and Hujsen in a heart beat.

You big tart.

nice singling out of the red head though, you ginger cunt you ginger twat

sorry, I couldn’t resist

He was the solitary summer signing the season after we finished 5th wasn’t he? A statement of intent

Here’s a legitimate question- why is it that WUM’s, whose raison d’etre is to wind people up and get bites are, without fail, spectacularly shit at it, and at the same time, when it’s done to them, are the most delicate of snowflakes? We’ve had loads through here and they’re all exactly the same, just like this nearly 40yr old bloke above. Anyway, here’s a nice picture of my favourite childhood chocolate bar…

It’s because his middle name is Anam?

I think he’d probably get in a Britain and Ireland all time XI and at the very least he’d be on the bench. About 5ft8 and 10 stone at his peak and hard as fucking nails. I once saw him in Benidorm when I was about 10 where he appeared to be reluctantly buying his wife a 3/4 length leather coat from an expensive boutique and I remember my dad and his brother (two of the least impressed by famous people you could meet) being a bit awestruck at seeing him. Absolutely fucking world class footballer

Howe has clearly lost the dressing room.

big call. Everyone has a bad day in the office. i think he’s earned a shot at redemption before anyone gets any funny ideas and starts the next match thread.

Also, I’ll take losing now and dovetailing back into form for any potential cup final on the horizon tbh

A week off then Southampton away to put this game behind us. Never felt confident about today but wasn't expecting just how bad it was going to be.

Tonali is really the only who has turned up today.

Last 10mins. Time to see if we've actually developed the mentality you need to win trophies. To claw back points even when you've been shit. We need a big push

Aye exactly, the ref has been shit, and the game was out of control as a result. Hopefully it fires our players up (though the way we're chasing shadows in the first half that could result in yellows/reds).

I don’t think we can pick individual players out here. They’ve all been shite.

He’s never been the same since his lying twat of a son turned in to a donkey.

No way they let him leave and jeopardise auto promotion. And then if they do come up they'll demand a huge fee.

Technically we could've lost at Filbert Street and still stayed up so I didn't bother celebrating our last minute OG winner.

In the post-truth age I should be treated like a god.

Again?

It's bollocks, so no need to waste their time tbh.

Just in case anyone wants a soundtrack to that post.

Anamphylaxis?
