OTF

14 attempts from them to 0 from us. 37% possession, no corners. Why am I watching this at almost 3 in the morning?

A half decent manager would have taken him off after 10 minutes, he's been that bad.

Sissoko running like a gazelle down the sideline, then passing like a gazelle... Then at the other end M'Boumsong keeps their player onside and it's two on the keeper to finally get one past Elliot.

Nice save Elliot, how they didn't score then.... If we hold on until the break who knows what Pard's winning mentality can do for the lads in the change room

Sissoko not happy about a handball from them, so throws their player down. After play is stopped another of their players comes in with a late two footed challenge that on first glance looked a candidate for a red, and nothing comes of it.

Santon's on the bench, he's returning from illness not injury so get him out there post haste.

Aye good work from Gouffran up until he completely missed the ball trying to side foot the pass.

It happens. I'd probably have a similar response.

Ben Arfa showed some haste an desire in that bit of defense

Wonder what their shot count is... We're not even at the races.

So far he could have nicked off and hosted a BBQ and no one would have known he was gone.

Our players shouting at each other... They should be thanking their lucky stars they've not conceded.

Gouffran's pass... Woeful. Are we taking the piss here?

Must be 6 or 7 now. If we start defending they'll have no chance!

Poor Ben Arfa having to work with a pretend full back down the right. I really don't want to give him a hard time, but surely there is someone better suited to play RB...

Defenders are just watching out there...

Surely it can't continue like this for much longer without them scoring. Elliot straight into the thick of it, doing well to still have a clean sheet.

Stood there like a ladder for their attacking player to climb. Playing him at right back appears to be infinitely worse than not playing him at all.

Haidara's hit and hope when he gets to the by-line, but the important thing at this point is that he actually gets there by running at the defense. M'Biwa horrid again, prior to us ruining him had he ever played right back?

M'Biwa, that was pathetically bad defending. No confidence at all I would imagine, or else we've been sold an out and out dud.

Hope Haidara has a good showing here.

They took their chances, we didn't; the difference between pushing for a top four spot, and floundering in mid-table.

It's everything to do with highlighting to those remaining Phelps/WBB extremist media whores that no matter your religious beliefs you should not ram them down people's throats at all, let alone at times of grief and suffering. In their case their propensity to behave in that manner indicates that they do not have a problem with doing so, so have no right to feel aggrieved if their own modus operandi is enacted upon them. The desired outcome would be to stop their behaviour. Unfortunately given they are ultimately only looking for media attention that may be unlikely. From the little that I know there are already big cracks appearing amongst their ranks.

Buying, loaning, developing or discovering quality players is a very good way of complimenting your squad with a touch of higher quality.

Sorry, should have prefaced that by saying that holier than thou douche bags need not reply. Yes, it would. Fuck off.
