Utterly predictable game that.

Carroll fouled again and nothing called.

Giroud never playing at the ball there.

Great to hear that he's on the improve.

Aye, Giroud nailed on for a goal or two.

This will be interesting.

If you're anything like me you won't really care if we are relegated again. Things could well be heading that way with Fulham playing well for the last month and finally converting it into points. As far as Ashley, Charnley and Bruce go relegation would be wholly deserved. Absolutely the only thing that would be upsetting in relation to a relegation is if it at all impacted on the tiny glimmer of hope that is the potential for the buyout on the back of the apparent legal challenge. I truly believe that Ashley genuinely wants out now, which is good because there's absolutely no way we move consistently forward under his ownership. Even if a new owner doesn't take us forward it's hard to see them do a worse job than Ashley and his band of underqualified chancers.

Good thing you didn't fire that off as an acronym, we'd have thought you'd had a stroke.

Have to say that Krafth had a good game for us today, defended well, was positionally solid and never switched off. Probably his best match for us.

I was dubious, but based on the strength of this game and his attributes Willock will be a key player for the rest of our season. Seems a very good kid.

Big Joe will only care about one of those comments.

How we got away with that.... critical 3 points the way the table and our fixtures are shaping up. Hendrick MOTM (muppet of the match).

The Jonjo School for Applied Effort (or the Attempted Illusion of): 1. Jog in their general direction 2. Slow down and/or stop the closer you get to them

Agree, great clearance from Hayden anyway so they can't have any complaints.

Especially given he's a defender who can play the ball out, offering something quite different to the likes of Lascelles.

Master stroke as it turns out.

Lucky the ref stopped that tbh. Looks like a fucked knee for Schar, no subs. It's going to be a rather small bus that we park for the last 15-20.

Miggy got done by the phantom throat poker there. Still a free kick though.

Lewis just made a nice tackle there on Redmond and the ref and linesman got the throw in call wrong. Lewis always looks panicked with the ball and seldom has a short pass to make.

Dummett will be champing at the bit to get out there sliding about, but taking off ASM could bite us in the arse.

Marking Ings in the box is unnecessary.

Lucky there, some more shit defense.

He'll be delighted to have the legs of Willock to hide behind.

The Shelvey swagger, normally bookends a poorly timed challenge.
