Nice little snapshot there of why we don't want Leeds back in the PL.

It's not like you to comment on something without knowing anything about it, to be fair. Which is why I asked the question in the first place. I just wish someone else had responded to it.

I've not seen the game. But knowing you and the way you've structured the response sounds like we didn't have any.

The (wrongly) disallowed goal Ritchie late on with a good save Gayle came very close to latching onto one but the keeper just about got it away Murphy early on in the second half, their keeper with another good save Couple of half chances in the first, but not clear cut That sounds like a no, tbh.

Did we have any clear-cut chances?

2nd might be the best thing for us. Should we go up we need huge investment in the summer; practically a brand new Xl and whatever will contribute to convincing the arseholes in charge of that, the better.

I'm not comfortable at all, like. In the last couple of months we've been extremely reliant on grabbing goals against the run of play and then seeing the game out. Against shit like Wigan and Burton I can easily see us playing ourselves into trouble in our own half early instead of taking the game to them.

Rafa's got it wrong plenty too. Rafa made it clear we needed two new attacking players and was told that Charnley or that horrible old cancer Carr knew better. Not Rafa's fault.

A lot of pressure on the next 2 home games. Hopefully Gayle's fully fit for them because if not we'll struggle.

Since Gayle got injured we've been drawing far too many games against sides we should be turning over, like. Managing 1 goal in our last 3 games against opposition like that just isn't good enough.

Sounds like our set pieces have been very poor.

Yep, reluctant to drop the hammer, which is obviously a massive part of his game. Still our best player by a distance, mind.

loathe Mourinho but Keane should be ashamed of himself there Why ? Keanes showed himself up talking crap plenty of times but he's spot on here. Man who can't manage either a football team or his own emotions going to town on one of the most successful managers in the modern game. Urgh. Mourinho can't manage his emotions (see eye gouging etc) and would he have done as well at Sunderland ? Give keane a premier team and the ability to blow most out the water financially and we'll talk. I'm not a mourinho fan. Fair enough, but Keane is a f***ing arsehole: self-centred and psychopathic. He was a bully as a captain not a real leader and obviously was going to struggle as a manager, particularly to sustain the kind of consistent relationships you need in order to keep the whole team onside (so to speak) and motivated. He captained Man Utd to their most successful spell in their history Yep, I 'm sure his captaincy added value, especially in the Champions League final. You really don't know what you're talking about, like.

No Shelvey or Gayle to take it.

Don't think so. Ste and him had a little thing, iirc.

A lot of money.

Sounds like Alsoran is ripping them apart as per.

Dis ownah, da players etc.

Your 15p accumulator fucked?

In fairness our worst player is Colback and he'd probably start every week for most teams in the league. Not a chance from what I've seen. He wouldn't get into the Bristol City side from last night and they're just above the relegation places.

You said you wanted to keep many of them for next season?

By playing 2 strikers and an attacking midfielder in midfield? There's definitely not 2 strikers in that team. Diame's not an attacking midfielder, either. He's in his proper position today. Perez is a striker though, he's been played deeper for us but thats his position Diame is an attack minded midfielder If we are judging Perez not been a striker because he hasnt played up top for a long, Diame has been playing attacking midfield for 2 seasons now Nonsense on both counts.

I'd like to say something positive about that Xl. Should work out reasonably well for when we hoof it. That's as good as I can do.

Lazaar was a very strange signing, like. He blatantly isn't a defender and in spite of our lack of options on the LW hasn't been given a chance there either. Must be abject in training.
