  1. They had nowt to play for, but we were obviously resting on our laurels. I don't think we'll do that again until promotion is secured. I'll celebrate like lottery winner when we get out of this frustrating fucking league. Of course he'll blame others for not starting it, but he chose the title specifically to anger the football gods and refused to change it when we could all see what was coming. Staggering arrogance.
  2. you massive fanny. "he's shite and he's shite and he's shite and everyone's shite" No problem with bringing, say, Yedlin in for Anita or Diame for Perez. But Mitrovic and Mbemba had their best games for ages against Leeds. Neither looked particularly knackered at the end of the game, nor did they pick up knocks. So I can't work out why they were amongst the rotated players. I agree that even though that was a shitshow, the reaction has been OTT. People talking about dropping into the Play Offs and of course if we do that, we'll not go up because we're always shit in finals etc. 3 games left, 6pts (7 inc GD) ahead of 3rd. Reading will need 7pts from their final games and for us to pick up 0pts. 0pts from Preston who've nothing to play for, Cardiff who've nothing to play for and Barnsley who've nothing to play for. I'm convinced this performance will be a rocket up the arse of the players and Rafa. That rocket will see us get ≥5pts from the next 3 games. Especially if Clark returns to the squad. One thing we can all agree on, @@Andrew is not allowed to ever make a match-thread again.
  3. Swear to God, the majority of fouls given against him are purely because of his reputation and the defenders carrying on. And the more times he pops up on people's RADAR as someone who gives away fouls, the more cemented that reputation becomes. Murphy was fucking piss as well mind.
  4. We were much more a unit with Mitrovic on. I couldn't give a shit if he's not the one that puts the ball in the net, we didn't look like scoring at all today. Even the consolation goal came from Gouffran fucking up in the box.
  5. I genuinely fear that Hayden picks up a knock early doors and were it to happen, I'd rather drop Diame back and play with 10 men.
  6. Some pace on the flanks there. Nice to that; a bit of pace on the flanks.. I love a bit of pace on the flanks, me.
  7. Especially as the teams we're facing will likely have nowt to play for when we meet them. Hoping that Mitro and Perez score, if for no other reason than to stop the OTT criticism they get.
  8. No Poll? Same performances as Friday as w'ell put 3 past them. I'm not expecting that, so I'll go 2-0 as a late birthday present for Rafa.
  9. Not sure I should start it, I've not got a great record.
  10. I was thinking about the matchday revenue recieved from food and beer stalls. Surely they must sell a lot of snacks, given the debris flying round the pitch? Longer term low attendances could be crippling; hard to attract sponsors, players, tv cameras. No fucker wants to watch an empty ground.
  11. Couple of people bring it up a fair amount, but I don't think the message is getting through to the majority. They've fuck all commercial income, fuck all saleable assets, there's not even a guarantee they'll get the same kind of crowds in the 2nd tier. So once the tv money goes their massive wages will have to be slashed, which will likely mean dumping a shit load of players for little return. If the fans desert them because of uninspiring player recruitment, Moyes' less than inspiring rallying calls, a bad start... if they don't come back in big numbers they'll see matchday revenue plummet. They don't have the players to sell that we did, the established squad that Norwich have, or the owner willing to throw £50m at the problem like Villa. If they don't get up next season, they could be down there for a very long time.
  12. The ideal would be if we had a reliable finisher who could play in the hole, running beyond Mitrovic and harassing the defenders from deeper. Anyone know if that Delle Alli that we were in for is any good?
  13. I'm sure there are 2, but I cannot for the life of me remember them. Laptop's at work so I can have a look n Tuewsday and let you know.
  14. Out of contract and apparently there's been no approach from Stoke as of yet.
  15. Diame is 29, Gamez 31, Murphy 33.
  16. Nah, we'll get sponsored by Trump or the evil MSM. Am I right @@Rayvin ?
  17. It'll be some betting site, or a collection of indecipherable lines and dots like Palace, West Brom and Swansea's I'd love it to be the Blue Star or the Brown Ale label, but I honestly couldn't see Ashley plumping for anything that fucking cool.
  18. KSA is likely promoting his latest live stand-up dvd on comedy panel shows.
