Theregulars

Ritchie is frustratingly unintelligent. Constantly gives away utterly pointless fouls.

Fairly cagey match between two poor sides, both afraid to make a mistake.

He’s elbowed Pérez in the face there

Been one of our best players this season

Gutted.

It’s about as realistic as me telling you that T’Kuvma has led a consortium of wealthy dissident Klingons, to be fronted by lieutenant commander Worf, to run the club with a herd of bloodthirsty androids to be signed on January 7th.

Got a spare to the spurs game. Atmosphere like a friendly; and I was in the “ultras” section.

Postponed until tomorrow

Hope they sit down in protest

Good - atleti are wankers

Surely Bayern are gonna sack Kovac

That’s an offensively short-sighted decision. Their entire squad and playing philosophy (and trajectory) was based on Jokanovic.

Please feel free to do so.

I will never tell people off for going to watch. What I would say is that the “support your side through thick and thin” unwritten rule is - surely - based on the premise that your club is trying to win; or at least compete. Call me Vulcan or autistic or pretentious or weird, but in my mind if he treats my club as a business; then I will respond like a customer. The product is shit and I won’t invest my time and money. That’s what I’d ask our match-going fans to think about. He’s changed the parameters of the very notion of supporting a club. Reacting the same way you always have - which is entirely admirable in some respects - no longer appears logical, intelligent, productive or even appropriate.

For clarity - as a good barometer of the squad’s calibre - we are on course for an 8 point season.

Who can he bring on to actually make a difference? The owner’s given him a shadow squad.

Just think the players seem completely flatlined by it. We see it each cycle of relegation, “consolidation”, decay and relegation. Players realise they’re not playing for an actual sporting institution; just a massive billboard. Not even a man of upstanding moral fortitude and belief like Rafa can fight the tide. It’s really sad watching something I love so much get hollowed out in the name of comparatively minor profit.

Well we got a penalty against Cardiff that easily could not have been given but we missed that. Also, Yedlin did lead with his elbow today. The penalty was not a penalty and the free kick was wet lettuce but it’s not like total period flow against us

Scored from a penalty that was not and a free kick that was not

Shelvey has looked just fine playing through pain recently

Tenner on Chelsea to score 4 or more

And what of Shelvey? 0-6

“To call this squad championship quality is disingenuous”. Aye reet Lee
