Good hands from Elliot but was straight at him.

Corner to them.

Perez, come on man.

Lots of empty seats.

The biggest individual mistake is that Joselu and Diame constantly get picked. In Joselu's defence whilst he cannot hit a barn door, he works hard and tracks back. Unfortunately what we gain in defence we loose in attack as he is just so poor in front of goal. But Rafa wasn't able to buy who he wanted - so we can't blame him for that. He needed players simple as that. Diame I agree he's hopeless but he tends to play the '10' role and I think we're splitting hairs with him or Perez, they're both not suited to the role. But who else would you play there? Same argument peddled out what is the point in buying players if they are s***. Rafa should have done what Keegan did with John Hall when he put the block on players and walked out - Hall soon changed his mind. That is literally what Keegan did and Ashley told him to fuck off.

I think he's shit actually. I also think Elliot is shit.

10 years of under investment for the fatty. ASHLEY OUT.

I'm mortal drunk at works xmas do. My only thoughts ok this result are below: ASHLEY OUT.

Just been on 5 Live.

West Ham and Palace both have fewer points than us.

Just win. Somehow.

You are the ref? Seems to have ended in 2016: https://www.theguardian.com/football/series/you-are-the-ref https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/aug/07/football.ref

It's a cliché but if you are playing a team you are level with or on similar points the theory is if you win you gain 3 points while denying your rival 3 points and hence the term six pointer.

One minute and four seconds. Go do some maths lessons.

Go watch some Gaelic football.

Too late. Nature is taking its natural course.

This. Touched him, so f***ing what. It doesn't make him fall over in any area of life apart from for a penalty on a football pitch. Spot on as usual.
