Ronaldo

Fitting. 40 minutes of him with Hall - who can actually run and contribute - sitting doing nothing as per. Pathetic decision. We’re effectively down to 10 men with zero pace on the break all half.

To when, Burton Albion at home?

Hall must be utter shit in training. Matt fucking Ritchie ffs.

It’s a symptom of their squad as much as it Hodgson’s style of play. To call him the most boring by a solid margin is harsh.

You might want to look at how many goals Palace scored before they appointed him.

81 points is outrageous, mind. That’s super impressive, especially when considering the hard work Stevie ‘I’m hard’ Gerrard did to set them back.

Every time there’s a bad game between the ‘big’ sides someone comes out with a carbon copy of this post. Every league has shit games. Get over it.

Decent coach? Have a word. I don’t like Villa but Emery is superb. Easily the league’s most accomplished manager behind Pep and Klopp.

Have the 3 promoted clubs ever been as shit as this in PL history? They’re all just utter rubbish.

Was superb, as usual.

The guy’s a thick nonce whoever he is. Gets it wrong every time.

If we ever get enough players fit, obvs.

Anderson needs to go on loan and prove he’s up to it at PL level. Miley’s already shown enough. What a talent.

Not for a year he hasn’t.

100% brother.

Anyone still saying this is freak luck?

We get some good fortune against Fulham, mind. Silva with his marvellous hair must hate playing us.

I would hope he still dives in training even when not starting for the team mind. This ‘rust’ shit is tedious.

We need him back. Since he’s been out the right side of the defence has absolutely been a weakness and having Schar back next to Trippier from next week will help.

Nesta or Maldini would arouse me greatly if I were that way inclined.

Buffon? Literally one of the least attractive Italian footballers I’ve ever seen. Great keeper obvs.

Dr Hartman from Family Guy on our medical staff? Useless.

I trust Eddie’s judgment on keepers given he watched Dubravka for half a season and replaced him first summer window with Pope, who has been brilliant. Can only conclude he really doesn’t think too much of Karius if he doesn’t get a game soon.

Pards. One of his last.

96/97 is one of my favourite seasons, Keegan’s departure aside. Final day of the season was absolutely brilliant: Us thrashing Forest and stealing 2nd / CL qualification, Boro and Mackems down. I vividly remember the walk from the Gallowgate to the Quayside and us being given Peter Reid monkey’s heed masks. Sun shining, party-like atmosphere. Then the next 2 seasons were absolute shit apart from the cup finals.
