That was grim

This ref got his whistle jammed in his throat or what?

Even the keeper is rattled

All us right now but means nowt if we can't score before Arsenal settle

I purposefully stay in the football forum to sway away from politics, not sure why the world has become some kind of tribal binary intolerance when most of us just want to be left alone. Both sides are ridiculously insane in their own way and entirely unelectable nor representative of the core of Great Britain. A popular vote just means people think you're less insane than the other guy. As for Frank, he's a mediocre manager, at best, that gets plaudits simply for his name, I dislike him because he gets an unwarranted amount of support from his mates in the media, he's just the next generation of manager with a "lads card" that gets a free pass for not being very good.

At least 3 dives in the first 5 minutes, glad the ref has been wise to it

Queue a second half of everyone behind the ball and throwing themselves to the ground everyone someone farts near them.

Ugh spawny pricks

Toney should have done better there, Erikson again with a great pass to supply.

Don't think you're in the minority tbh, strikes me as the type of bad egg Howe wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Undoubtedly a gifted player buy with the cheating and petulance he shows, far too much baggage.

Eriksons passing range has been glorious

Would rather dip my balls in acid thanks

Geeeeetttt innnn!!!

Richarlison is such a pathetic cheat

Good save but poor pen

Poor from Mane

Moss might as well be wearing a red shirt at this stage, it's not even subtle

Kieta channeling his inner Joelinton there

All he's promising is that in the eventuality that it devalues then he's not going to sell it, hardly the USP to hang your hat on.

I'd much rather them be beaten in the final than here, but it was horrific to watch, Wednesday should have buried them in the first half alone with the space they were getting.

Wood was a plaster for an urgent situation, he's repayed his price in helping keep us up, but we should be looking to sell him on to someone coming up at a loss.

We just need an upgrade on him and not to have to rely on him, not sure if he'd want to be second fiddle but as a 2nd choice I would absolutely keep him, quality striker when fit, but that's a big WHEN unfortunately.

The gulf in class between 3rd and 4th and City and Liverpool is palpable, City have and will beat much better teams than us by a healthy margin. Top 5 might be a push but looking at the quality in the top 10 we could be there abouts with the right purchases in the summer and some luck with injuries.

The only reason it will happen is for the home grown numbers.

Properly not worth pawing over that, not really the benchmark to rate a season, they've spent more on 1 player than we have on 80% of the squad. Only conclusion that needs to be made is that we're an absolute mile away from top 4.
