If you're going to lose matches, you're better off having it happen against two of the three most in-form, strongest teams in the league.

except Dion Dublin obvs.

Nothing good ever comes from Coventry City. local knowledge at work, here.

Gary Neville constantly referring to 'United'.

They actually BEAT us.

No, not in the sense of a direct player to player comparison, but more in the sense of having circled the plug hole for a few seasons, looked increasingly shit and like we needed to be burned down and rebuilt from nothing. A proper sick malaise eating away at the heart of the club that will do for it.

Everton are totally fucked. All they are is bluster. They spent a decent amount of time attacking us today but they have absolutely nobody on the pitch to reliably score. Their only tactic seems to be giving it to McNeill (who is gash but at least puts in a shift) and hoping for the best. They so, so remind me of us the season we went down, and have done since the start of the season.

I am starting to worry these lot are going to match the 7-2 we had against Liverpool.

BOOM!!!! Ha ha ha, brilliant, fuck off Liverpool!

Apologising for a bit of swearing FFS. I think the commentators should be allowed - encouraged - to swear. It'd be much better than listening to McManamanmanaman droning on.

Incredibly bad from Gomez,. Liverpool are so fucking mediocre these days.

Will this be the first time you've played at the new Wembley? It is, isn't it?

I reckon we'll sell Martinez in the summer. There's definitely something up with him and Emery. Emery clearly doesn't think he's good enough with his feet for the way he wants to play out from the keeper (dropped hints before), was fucked off with him for going up at the end yesterday (I understand his reasoning, but think it's a bit meh as a subject to fall out on), and has hinted heavily he's going too far with the shit-housing. We're going to do a mass of business this summer, so many of them clearly not with enough technique to play the way he wants us to. Even Mings with his new contract, I wouldn't be surprised if he moved him on and it turned out to be a protect-his-value thing. I fucking love Emery though, he's so intense and 100% with everything, and we show signs of being a very good side in the making. This season will be a rollercoaster of making do with what he has, but - and I think this explains why we spent almost nothing in January - I think he'll be onto a total squad reshape in the summer.

Listening to Carragher doing commentary on a Liverpool match is genuinely like listening to a Liverpool podcast. It's like there is no opposition, or there is but they're not relevant to what he's talking about.

Good news, Spurs 1-0 down.

O'Leary FFS. The one cunt who managed to be more obnoxious and deliberately divisive at our place than Carpethead.

Leeds would have to be brain dead to appoint Gerrard.

Ha ha yes, marvellous stuff!

Great name, Harrison Ashby. Sounds like a National Trust property in Wiltshire. Extensive gardens, oldest part of the house dates to the Tudor period, suffered damage during the civil war. Cafe does nice cream teas. Access to the house via timed entry tickets only.

Ha ha, that's the best post I've seen here for ages. Totally agree. Or score and whip off their shirt to reveal a t-shirt with I BELONG TO SATAN on it. There's only one thing more revolting players can do with their fingers (ruling out bodily insertions obvs) after scoring and that is make a heart shape. That's worse than godbothering stuff.

Everton need putting out of their misery.

What an absolutely laughable mess Everton are at the moment. It's like they've broken down what they need to do in terms of maintaining their top flight status, growing the club, keeping the fans onside, building unity, to produce a list of individual tasks - and then decided to approach every individual task in the worst way possible.

One of the chants we had for him was 'Boom boom Savo!' which as it was about or just after the time of the Yugoslavian war, wasn't very tactful. I think he's a manager now.

Reckon he'll be a good signing for you.

He was very popular and still is - he was "our" signing after the pressure on Ellis to get the money out.
