VAR done us a massive one there like.

Doddsy is a legend for me like marra.

As big a gap between his legs as he has between his ridiculous ears. Shite. Can't wait til we're shot of him. Quite right that Karius is away too if he can't force his way in front of this joker.

Weird one that. We were awful in the first half and decent in patches in the second and yet scored 5 They're absolutely chod mind you. Defence and goalkeeper a proper joke. Very good win in the end and decent results so far with Man U and West Ham only drawing. If Villa can do us a favour later and restrict Chelsea to a point or less then it's been a colossal day for us.

Can one of the fans in the Gallowgate lower please run on and spark that useless jug eared cunt between the sticks clean out, please? Replace him with a mannequin from Fenwicks window and we'll be better off.

He's right about us not shooting like, it was driving me bananas last night. Every time there was an opening our lads took another touch or hesitated and the chance was gone. It was weird.

Quite a few ex-pros get into haulage/transportation businesses, I think. Would imagine he's making some kind of provision for after he's done playing.

It's painful watching him and tonight was one of his worst showings for sure. Just got to try and remember he's been playing injured and next year we'll see a lot less of him either by way of him being sold or (more likely) a squad option. And in the latter case he'll look better for the rest and better players around him. He just needs this season to come to an end, desperately tbh.

Got Haaland as captain, but if he doesn't play I'll get an extra 8pts for Solanke as vice captain and my second sub Joachim Andersen will come in for 11pts, which would take me to about 85pts plus whatever De Bruyne can muster. Can't wait for Pep to bring him on for 8 minutes when they're already 3-0 up and passing it about the defence.

Good chance to get some confidence back, rack up a few goals and forget the misery of tonight sharpish. That said I'd take a 1-0 with a scrappy own goal and shaky performance if you offered it to me now. We just need to win it.

Liverpool getting done in the Merseyshite game is absolutely glorious, it's massively cheered me up from our shit show at Palace knowing that Klopp's farewell tour bus has lost another wheel.

I wasn't being entirely serious. But just weird how Palace looked sharper and fresher when they've had a midweek game and we looked absolutely shagged from the word go. Perhaps he's worked them too hard over the ten days, I don't know.

If this is what ten days of his training and coaching produces we may as well send the lads on a week long all inclusive to Ibiza next time we get a fixture gap. Not sure what he was trying to do tonight and yet again didn't change a clearly shit performance until we went behind. He should have changed it at half time and chose to serve up more of the same below par shite. Thankfully, we've another game quickly and on paper it's our most winnable game of the season. Needs to get it right on Saturday and win because we can't rely on the other teams to get beat again. Tonight will be forgotten quickly if we win on Saturday and that's just as well, frankly, because it was absolutely shite.

Shot straight at him and goes through his legs please fucking get shot in the summer.

Fuck off lads. Disgraceful performance all round.

One of the worst we've had all season tonight. Then again, we deserve nowt anyway.

Fuck off and die referee, gave Eze the free kick for a legit tackle and doesn't give a pen for that. Wanker.

Can't wait for the endless pages of straw men where rightly questioning what the fuck we've been doing with 10 days training to produce this display = therefore wants Howe out immediately because he's been questioned on a poor performance.

Diving little cunt Eze.

Absolutely fucking pathetic and been coming all game. Utter shite we've been.

Isak just needed to shoot there. Not sure why he ran down the blind alley.

Isak could have reached that, he almost seemed to bottle out of it. Must be scared of injury.

Pathetic these last few minutes. Can't even pass the ball out of our own third without gifting it back to them. Need to ride this out and get hold of the game or we'll be in bother.

Wonder if we're flipping him for a fee already. Given the season he's had I would have thought we'd have taken a look in pre-season before making any decisions on his future, let's see.

These absolutely horrid Souey quotes always stick with me: "I've always been a 4-4-2 man but I'm not big on systems or tactics. Systems are for school-teachers in professional football. What I am big on is great players working their socks off. The game happens at such pace that it's all about intuition; if you have that you do not need much more."
