Never a corner

You want to support another club genuinely if it gives you so much satisfaction to see the team get beat Its cos hes "edgy"

Also, Joelinton has got to be the most timid fucking big man i've ever seen

Both these teams are playing such a fucking predictable game plan Fucking get Gayle, Muto, Shortstaff something on man fucking hell this is AIDS

One of the most overrated cities around, very run down as well, Manchester is far better. But I guess its a taste thing.

WumBot 3000 How? or do you just enjoy being negative? AC changed the game. Don't know whats worse here sometimes, the double standards or the boring same old negativity. We're in a good run of form and it looks like it will be a comfortable season to stay up. Just enjoy it, its not how you would have wanted it but we are overachieving. You negative lot still log on here so you clearly care that much.

Banana slip. These are due a win against us and need a win in general. Draw or marginal loss. Hope i'm wrong.

His subs won us the game today. Deserves some credit. Accepting that does not mean accepting hes a more decorated manager than Rafa. It doesn't mean accepting the way the club is run and it doesn't mean you're an Ashley apologist. From all the games we've won recently, this one he deserves the most credit. Maybe not something you'd like to see for the reasons above, but fair play. Its time to put some negativity aside and enjoy what we can for this moment in time, because it could be worse, far worse.

Turd. Joelinturd.

I'd be surprised if Joelinton makes it to 5-6 goals this year never mind 10 playing like this Very poor.

Provided he keeps the team chemistry and spirits up and no rot sets after a poor run of form - he will have more than done his job and what is expected of him. I'm not particularly fussed about him nor am I fussed about the regime/the way the club is at the minute. I do not go to the games because the bigger picture is we are ambition-less and just exist to "be there". But I will say, I still do enjoy seeing us win, even under this guy, who we all knew shouldn't be anywhere near the Premier League. I am not too certain dropping down to the Championship or League 1 for a few years will necessarily bring us better owners - look at Sunderland. Just enjoy the wins until the shit inevitably hits the fan, its not like we have much else to cheer for.

These are due a bad result, maybe we can fluke it here

Two goals conceded from set pieces is pretty poor. Fairly poor ones too. Maybe less of being one of the lads and some set piece defending training would be great

The least of our problems right now and should start every game either way

Based on what ffs I've literally responded to that earlier. Gayle as shit as he is has a goal in him on the odd occasion and some sort of pace, Joelinton does not. You can't tell me he deserves to start the next game and this isn't to do with how less shit Gayle could be, but Joelinton does not warrant a start based on current form. Others have been dropped for less so far this year and he needs benched. Man it could and most likely would be fucking AIDS either way but fuck me Almiron and Joelinton are not offering any sort of goal threat in the box. It's not like City is a must win sort of game anyway.

Did you watch the last 20 minutes at all? What is there to lose by now, Joelinton is a dud. Almiron is bambi on ice in the final third and believe me, I rate his contributions to the goals we score and work-rate. Both need some time on the bench, perhaps City is the game for that.

Judge me for saying this but I'd start Gayle / Carroll next game

You have to keep in mind these are mostly Rafa players playing a Rafa formation with Rafa tactics. You remember what happened at Norwich and Leicester this year when tactics and formation were changed The result at Norwich is something I could see happening under Rafa, not so much Leicester.

Yedlin beast of a performance, well done lad.

Joelinton fucking awful. Fucking stay onside man

This lad is a fucking brilliant grafter but my word does someone need to coach him some fucking composure in the box

Almiron has fuck all composure in the box, its really starting to become annoying now.

Not a bad side but I expect West Ham to win this one, they've been due a win in recent form.

He'll do OK at a team that can afford to give him the time to play to his strengths where he isn't the sole expectation of goals from the team Fail to see how he's better than Rondon for us right now though.

Didn't really play to get anything meaningful out of this game in the second half so a narrow defeat sounds about right Defended okay but they were bound to eventually break us down if that was our game plan all game without any sort of counter-attacking threat.
