Easy to say in hindsight. But I don’t think he should have even come on. Not even digging him out for it. As he obviously wants to play. But the decision should have been taken out of his hands. He made that one good run for the Barnes shot off the post. But it looked like just moving about was a big effort for him. Barely sprinted or closed down like he normally would and was miles off the pace. I didn’t realise he was ill. But you could see within a minute of him coming on something was up. So I assumed he was carrying a knock or he was ill. Which was why he didn’t start. I originally thought it might just be to save legs and have certain players on after 55-60 minutes to then bring our energy levels back up.

WORRYING (NO™️) that we have £55m and £65m strikers available. But Osula, who looked finished here barely weeks ago and Gordon, who looked like he could barely break into a light jog last night. Were favoured ahead of the pair of them. Still time to turn it around of course. But looking like a monumental waste of money as it stands.

Along with Hall. He’s basically our only available player that will put his foot on the ball, demand it under pressure and usually keep hold of it. Terrific performance last night. Hard to call a MOTM. I thought Big Joe or Hall. But Ramsey was right up there.

Such mixed emotions about it all. To a man, I thought we were excellent. Executed the gameplan to perfection until basically the last kick/foul of the game. We didn’t just rely on physicality or shithousing (they did all that). We matched them or even outplayed them for large spells of the match. Our best performance of the season. But also just so deflating to concede such an avoidable goal that I think now kills any chance we had of getting through. Yet another lead we couldn’t see out, another late goal and the quest for a clean sheet continues. Also incredibly angry at the pathetic refereeing. It wasn’t even snide fouls. A headlock takedown and a body check to stop counters. No yellow card. Bought their play acting and diving all night. He’d buy Trump coin that cunt. I might be wrong. But I heard Fermin and Yamal would miss the next game with a booking? So that makes it look even more questionable. Atmosphere was one of the best I can remember for a while. But not a high bar, granted. Got back home at 2. Now on the train to go and do a site survey. Would have been a lot easier without that undeserved equaliser for those fucks.

Setting off about half 12. Get the Cheltenham commentary on in the car on the way up to take my mind off the football. I can focus on my losing bets instead

I said before the game on here that the pitch will be a leveler. It will help sunderland and their style of play. Turns out I was wrong.

Went full Wealdstone Raider on the fourth official

Really? He’s always been quick to look for a roll or throw out. Let some other fucker deal with the hot potato

Yeah. Would put sand in the corners Horrible prick of a man. His son was even worse.

He had a 40 odd percent save percentage (which Pope now has 😳) and was regularly getting shit for letting in soft goals. He was also glued to his line or on the spot. Just because he wasn’t making comedy caper howlers like Pope. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t waving weak shots into the net.

This is like watching 08/09 NUFC. Clueless, gutless, heartless, shite. Call it what you want. But it’s not good.

No. One of the worst chants in football that.

As if we were all happy we didn’t sign Strand Larsen. Then he moves for way less money and ends up looking class again.

VdV has checked out. Spurs mates have gone from saying he is world class. To him looking like he doesn’t give a fuck and making countless mistakes.

He doesn’t look it to me. Is it @Rich on here that is adamant keepers lie about their height? Trafford for example He certainly plays smaller than he is if he is 6ft 3”.

Fucking sick to death of VAR, offsides and taking 5 minutes to arrive what always looks like. The incorrect decision. Game’s gone. Woke nonsense. Etc

I know a bloke in his 50’s who was a Spurs fan until about 10-15 years ago. He is now a Man City season ticket holder.

I dunno. The Yoro one probably not. As he seems a cumbersome oaf these days in getting down. With his big old wing span. I think he saves the Zirkzee one and it’s not so dramatic. Almost one of Pope’s problems is that he makes really hard, what would be finger tip saves. Look quite easy because of his positioning and size. Then falls down with his brain farts and mad rushes of blood. A bit like Bramble’s mad moments. But from a keeper. But it’s all hypothetical and seems a bit daft to analyse it in that way. Which is exactly what I’m doing

*Mambo. Where’s your cut off.

Fuck me. If we’re Wimbledon. Then they’re John Beck’s Cambridge United. They play some of the most abysmal, appalling shit in the league.

Pope has been crap for most of this season. But I see we’re now using the same hypothetical argument of ‘Pope would save that’ when Ramsdale was chucking them in earlier in the season. But it’s now roles reversed I think it is worth pointing out that he often looks full stretch when other keepers wouldn’t. Due to his size and also positioning at times. He seems to dive late a lot of the time. Which isn’t even a massive dig or anything. He is stopping the ball going in the net and the Zirkzee one was class. I just find it odd that him playing well for a change suddenly means Pope wouldn’t have saved any of those shots last night I still wouldn’t sign him. Not unless he fancies taking a pay cut and the £20m fee is cut in half. I don’t think he is our long term number one and it’s too expensive for a back up keeper. I think he has a chance to fully stake his claim between now and the end of the season, though. Unless he totally falls of a cliff performance wise. He should play the next 4-5 games as a bare minimum. Cups and league. See if we can get some kind of consistency going.

I said at the time in the pub. You see worse simulation all the time outside the box or in nothing areas and not near to goal. Refs just give them as fouls 9/10. Even if the contact is basically non-existent. I said you'll see worse theatrics (I don't even think this was) within the next few tackles. Gordon went down easy straight after. Then one of theirs, I think it might have even been for the free kick that led to the goal. Willock got a foul for falling over. To then decide this one is a dive and a second yellow. When Ramsey doesn't appeal, he doesn't go down in a theatrical way that suggests he is looking for it. He doesn't pretend he has been clipped where the point of contact would have been and goes down almost awkwardly afterwards. Oh and also after he's given a goal kick. Only to change his mind after he's been abused by 4-5 moaning Man U players. Shit, useless, weak refereeing of the highest order. Total guesswork and he's succumbed to pressure from ratcunt and his merry band of cunts.

Who is that road gyal at the end? What a whopper.

I wish these trollops and their shit publicity stunts outside football grounds would fuck off. Nobody wants to pay to see your clout on Only Fans you absolute trout.
