A red card after 30 mins - we just had to win the game. A draw would've been a bad result, considering we were a man up for two thirds of game.

Gayle.

We were creating chances and playing fairly well before the red. Easily could've been 2 or 3 nil at half time, it had to be at least 1-0. Second half wasn't great, but we got the job done in the end.

Preferring Ashley to Bruce man :lol: The board has hit a new low.

Crazy (and weird) way of thinking. Ashley is the fucking problem. Bruce is just a below average manager.

You detest Bruce more than Ashley? Wow.

Absolutely insane how we didn't at least score one goal in the first half. Watching highlights again, the triple save, that massive Gayle chance, the pen miss.

He's mint. So likeable

8 clean sheets in 29 games isn't bad at all tbf. 18 points from those 8 clean sheets key to the season really. 1 goal in last 5 games = 5 points is a bit radge like

Get in. Big 3 points.

As if these two crocks could ask for a relegation clause. These are the perfect players for Ashley, championship plodders who won't mind going down as long as they are at a 'big club'. Shelvey a "Championship" plodder. Jesus Christ man :lol: I think the Ritchie renewal isn't great. Done a decent job for us, but it's not the time to sign him up for further years.

Mad we've scored 4 goals against them in last 2 at home

I think that will send a confusing message to the squad as well. After criticising Rafa's 5 man defence all season, if he reverts to it every time we have a big game - that too at home - then what are the players going to think? We have should have enough flexibility to play different formations.

Nee chance we'll be playing 4 at the back against City. City clear favourites obviously, would've said nee chance away, but there's a small chance of a win at home.

Lisbon away: We are 2-0 up in the tie, with an away goal. 40 mins gone. We just had to lose 2-1 and we were through. Worst loss ever that one, UEFA Cup was wide open aswell, I'm sure we were the fucking favourites.

Sporting Lisbon away still haunts me.

Will probs be sold next season I agree, just the article indicated a massive bust up and not sure that's the case. Truth probs in the middle, there was a disagreement, and Hope turned it up to 9 when it was a 5.

"future in doubt" seems a pretty extreme headline tbf tho.

We could really do with a mobile centre midfielder, who can tackle well.

1-1.

It depends. If no bust up, then snide story. If true, then snide Bruce.

Very good

Think it's when we are supposed to be playing villa at home 21 march.

:lol:

4 goals so far in FA Cup. Nice finishes tonight, liked them.
