Yeah. It is a small sample size, granted. I am just worried looking at our midfield and attacking options, that are the same players that struggled to consistently play well in the Championship. Not 'bedwetting' or crying that we'll get relegated just yet. But this just highlights how average/awful some of our players are at this level.

Organised and well drilled whilst sitting deep. Had nothing to offer going forward, though. Which is hardly surprising, when our team is made up of a load of Championship quality players.

I am now watching the cricket. What has this club done to me

Well even before the injuries and red card. It was a terrible game of football and we had nowt going forward. I've had enough of this season already

This bloke will never learn. Cameras everywhere, so was never going to get away with it, regardless. But does it right in front of the ref. Alli is an irritating fucker. But is there really any need for that?

There's more. Now going on about selling before we buy and defending it. Some fans seem happy to lap up all the dog shit that is spouted by the club.

:lol: That is the appropriate response

I'm not sure who he was allegedly 'shagging' off. But my dislike (not hatred of him as a person) of his ability is to do with how utterly pathetic he is at 1 on 1's and him going down slower than a mortgage. He makes Stevie Harper look fast.

I still think Krul is the best of a bad bunch. However, bar Woodman, who has potential by all accounts. We have a load of Championship level keepers.

Rafa doing his usual, putting pressure on in the media and marking his territory 9not as obvious as before, TBF). Ashley comes out and shits all over the place and tries to show him who's boss. I'm sure this will end well

There is some absolute drongo on twitter defending Ashley and trying to justify why we can't afford players. This has been going on for a decade, bar a couple of panic windows. http://brightcove.vo.llnwd.net/e1/pd/4221396001/4221396001_4205586435001_NP.jpg?pubId=4221396001&videoId=4205485950001

Whilst clearly it was a bit ill-advised and shit from him. Not liking him doesn't have a lot to do with his shit BANTZ and mackem links. It's to do with his shit ability and just being a complete non-entity of a player.

14th. Unless we get 2-3 decent players in, I think we're a bit of a way off a top half prem team. Even if from around 8th downwards, there is plenty of shite in the league. Rafa is a top manager, but he isn't a miracle worker. As it stands, we have so many Championship players, that should be squad players at best. A lot of these will be turning out regularly for us this season and I think we'll struggle a bit.

Lucas Perez and Danny Ings in the shit rag sun. Probably nowt in it. But would certainly be interested in Perez. Thought he looked half decent for Arsenal and got a few goals for them, despite not playing much. Ings would be a bit of a gamble. No idea what he'll be like after his injury, or whether he would consistently score goals at this level.

I do that as well Haha I've been doing that for ages! Thought I was the only weirdo though. Rollin' by Limp Bizkit fwiw. Same as this Roland. Pete Postlethwaite's character from The Lost World, for me.

Well that is the most uninspiring appointment going worse than McClaren, even? Arguably has even worse hair.

His debut at Everton was so good. Completely bossed the game that day and was the best player on the pitch after Ben Arfa. Loved his playing style. Even if towards the end injuries and what not caught up with him. RIP Cheicky :'(

I like Gibbs. But he is constantly injured. Should be factored into his price, I guess. But off the top of my head, his career has been stop/start because of niggling injuries and hasn't really played for a long run of games.

Really don't understand people crabbing him for scoring "tap ins" or "Championship standard goals."

Didn't he get 20 odd goals for Bristol City last year? Looks the right sort of player and has the frame to fit the system. Have to agree with what some others are saying, though. Don't like the idea of just signing him on loan, with no option. Seems a bit small time and a waste for us moving forwards, if he ends up being a success for us.

Oooh. Exciting. Shame it's not on the box. Pretty attacking lineup, that.

They're knackered without the 4-6 points we have been giving them for the last however many seasons. Think they will finally be flushed this year. I can't see them making a good go of coming back up and sounds like they are pretty fucked, financially.

I agree with this. We struggled to create anything once Hayden came on against Wigan. We were hardly great before that. But at least Shelvey was getting on the ball a bit.

I'm being petty. But It's effectively worth 0.5 points. If the other team has one more point than you. You don't sit level with them, do you? Plus things can change quite quickly and it soon goes. Brighton were closing on us. After us being miles ahead. Then a couple of wins for us and losses for them and they are back being wel behind.
