I tend to agree but we have to be tactful how it's done with owt like this otherwise the reaction is always "egos" "above their station" "think they're the voice of all fans" etc. I mean any normal person would agree like but yi just kna plenty folk who'd say the above exist.

You need starters in the quiet areas

English football is just going to end up either throwing itself off a cliff edge or becoming choreographed to fuck like everywhere else. I hope the latter for everyone's sake. Sad state of affairs though. Football in this country has become too commercialised , so the TV dictates what fans do, too sanitised because the media painted every English football fan as a degenerate, pissed up hooligan and we are too stubborn to have us act American (thank fuck). Needs a real big shake up, up and down the country.

We are winning this like. 100%. Tonight was the first part of our hussle.

Aye basically all this.

Yep. Think defeated, be defeated. It's really weird actually. I think it's some sort of Post-Ashleyism mentality. This is an actual era of history by the way. I'm sure we just used to think - fuck these big wigs, let's show them who we are.

He shouldn't be starting at present, for me.

I was just being facetious tbh. He shouldn't be absolved of criticism so long as its measured and justified as (lazily - I assume) you are being.

Aside from being facetious... I think a fit Isak would have made a huge difference tonight with us perhaps grabbing two goals. Osula should probably have started before Wilson. Dubravka for Pope. Think our midfield was left a bit threadbare. Willock doesn't start alongside Tonali and Bruno for me, certianly against top sides. He is effective when stretching teams but not tactically aware enough otherwise. I think our goals conceded came from a stretched and perhaps unfocused midfield from what I saw but then I did have my Mam waffling on about windows or some shit. Gordon too inconsistent this season and same goes for Willock, which is frustrating, but the same can be said for multiple players. Howe needs to take some accountability for that, but thoroughly expeft us to be back at the races in the coming games. If our fans go into games with defeatist attitudes I'm not sure we can blame anyone else for the same...that's very much what tonight felt like to me. Isak was out so everyone thought it was a done deal.

Howe out etc. Until we win again on Sunday

Handled Salah fine. Was let down by some of his team mates for me, but not for the love of trying.

Level 5, area 543 mate

Demonstrates what a good job Howe did last season for me.

4 Palace - 1

Only 359 miles away man

As soon as they concede one they turn to shit.

I guess I deserve that...right?

Just a shit Lidl.

1-0 Arnautovic for Inter.

Head turned by Spurs...

A fairly bizarre passage of play before in the Chelsea game. In fact it has been for around 5minutes. Chelsea are entirely static and with Palmer being seemingly tightly marked absolutely zero movement from anyone else. Keeper to the centre half, back, keeper to the centre half, back, keeper to the centre half, played long into feet and then lost. Southampton come back at them. For all their money Chelsea really aren't as good as they should be. One man team pretty much. Fans are getting a bit restless it seems.

From the Strawberry Corner he looked to be setting himself for the diving header and then realised it wasn't going to bounce up enough or quickly so adjusted his body to shield/dick the ball in. He actually did canny well in the end it seemed. You're right though, it was bizarre.

The thing is we can score goals for fun too when we're "on it". Lewis Hall has been our player of the season so far and with that, hopefully, we can entrust him to keep Salah quiet, maybe even give him something to think about in the opposite direction. My biggest worry is doing a number on Liverpool tomorrow and then we get ahead of ourselves and they suss us and dick us in the final I honestly think the whole backs to the wall mentality, come out swinging, will serve us well in our upcoming games with them.

I actually think it is the best way to play them tbf. If we sit in versus these we'll get dicked.
