Happily admit I want him publically outed for the bullshitting fraud cunt that he is. I want him and his record, his signings, his subs, his selections, his 'tactics' and his performances to be scrutinised and questioned. I want him to explain and justify what he's done and why it's gone wrong. I want him humiliated. I want every football fan openly taking the piss out if him and for him to carry around the stigma of failure and ridicule until he bullshits his way off this mortal coil. Sooner the fucking better please.

It's almost as if he's gone to Palace and got an initial positive, temporary reaction from the squad. He's since been allowed to spend a load of cash, alienate popular players which has led to their sale, started playing listless, disorganised and clueless football. He's resorted to blaming random factors, distancing himself from the poor run and their form is now the worst in the league over a prolonged period. I for one am truly shocked by what's happened down there. Never could have predicted it would have panned out like this.

Sevilla - Barca has started at 100mph.

Can't keep winning every single week, think we'll drop points here. Not the end of the world but we're due a setback and this is a pretty tough fixture.

Even has the tungsten tipped screws to help him make his point. Absolutely fantastic.

Big win that. Nice cushion opened up from us to 3rd.

The footballing gods don't allow back to back hammerings, this one will be tight. I'll go 1-2 but wouldn't be at all surprised if we dropped points, in to just how things normally go.

Yep. Eclipses the West Ham rout under Keegan. As dominant a performance as I've ever seen in my 40 years.

As hilarious as their start and results have been they're still only a couple of wins away from getting out of it. I firmly believe they will reel a few teams and I'll not be tempting fate by saying otherwise.

The Peadome

Just starting to grind our way past teams now. Nothing spectacular, just consistency and a regular flow of goals will be enough to win the league from here. Big 10.

If it took 5 bouncers to restrain his auntie then I dare say she could have handled the situation by herself tbh. Absolutely ridiculous goings on.

You're right. Included a cup win.

Fairly confident we'll go on a bit of a run now and take the lead before xmas. We've taken 25 of the last 30 points available and the fixture list looks quite favourable. Time to engage steamroller mode and grind teams into the dirt.

"Premier league 8" lists doing the rounds. Probably bollocks like.

Those 6 minutes of injury time will be a massive turning point now. It's like being handed 3 extra bonus points.

Needs to be far more flexible in his approach, especially to home games. 4-2-3-1 simply isn't working at home, it's too negative, it's too defensive and it's too safe, it's leaving the onus on 4 or 5 players to break down 9 or 10 men and the results are there to see. Gayle is isolated and we end up passing it around the box and in the middle third. I'd go so far as to say that if he persists with it for every home game regardless of opposition then the points we drop will cost us promotion. He's got to take the shackles off.

Aye, poor Sam. Little lamb just caught on the hop, not his fault. Wrong place, wrong time.

Those Chilean miners were trapped underground for two days longer than Sam Allardyce was manager of England.

Glorious, absolutely fucking glorious. The horrible fat, dodgy, bent cunt.

Surely if this 'scandal' is big enough to get him sacked from the England job he'll not work in football again? If he survives then he's been very lucky considering how outspoken the FA have been about the corruption in FIFA.

Thought he was poor tonight. Poor for the goal and never gave his CBs a rest by refusing to come for anything. He let them deal with just about every ball into the box and eventually that's going to cost you. Bar one late save against Brighton all I've seen him do is field back passes, flap at crosses and pick the ball out of the net. Needs to be far more dominant and commanding, he's a big bloke ffs.

Disagree. I'm 100% a Rafa guy but the approach to subs was passive. The midfield were dead on their feet and not replaced early enough. That's fair enough. Yedlin going off was a blow and we lost all momentum and control of the game. Inability to handle Gestede and cede time and space was a bit frustrating. The game should have been done by ht.

No one to blame but the players who missed all of the clear cut chances we made. Team was fine, performance was fine, plenty of chances created, subs were ok, players fluffing their lines cost us. Don't take your chances when they come then you've got no one else to blame but yourself. Didn't finish them off and it's cost us 2 points today.
