0-0 or 1-0 either way. Grim game. What a way to start your weekend.

His regression was unreal, he played a gargantuan part in our upturn in form in the second half of 17/18, was probably our best player at home to Spurs on the opening day of 18/19, then that Cardiff game happened.

Don't understand what any of that means.

Juve went from Conte and Allegri to Sarri (who I do actually like as a manager) and Pirlo. The former two still failed ultimately in the CL and that Ajax defeat will be a stain on Allegri's CV but Juve haven't won the double or the scudetto convincingly (or soon to be at all) since he left. Agnelli and co have fucked it. Good, he's a cunt with that Super League carry on. Underlines Conte and Allegri's credentials though imo.

Not a huge fan of Squires but that last frame, ffs.

Hoping but sort of not hoping at the same time that this is a game where Bruce gets one of his spawny out of nowhere wins a la Everton away.

2 years ago! Time flies. One of my favourite ever games at SJP that I've been to, that.

Not exactly punditry but that Ed Chamberlin bloke (who now does horse racing I believe?) was a far better presenter on Sky than that Dave Jones bloke.

Few things, Rafa was available and approached the club, the atmosphere and manner of the defeat to Bournemouth, our general performances and results in the league and the fact that we were 19th(?) when he was sacked. Nah we were 17th when hair island was sacked, i think. Nah, 19th. https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/premier-league/11-march-2016/

Disagree with that. From 2016 I'd take Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Perez, probably Mitrovic as our Wilson alternatives are dire. Wilson, ASM, Almiron, Willock (although he's a loan player), Hayden, Dubravka, Schär (assuming you mean the whole squad) are better options than many in that 2016 side.

Thought Beardsley and Cole would've been on here.

Yeah. To the wrath of many I posted some of the Sky footage from the 0-1 defeat to Man Utd in 1996 in the on this day thread, those covering the game sound taken aback when talking about the fact that we had 61% possession. Think one of our games under Rafa v Man City ended up with us having 19%.

Who is scoring the goals? Wilson and Almirón are back after the international break, like. May well be too little too late but hey ho. They were in both in the team nearly all season also, but, won't make a difference with Bruce still manager. True. But whilst I've been slagging off what we've been playing since Jones came in all day, it is far more effective and would yield more points with Wilson, ASM, and Almirón in the team. We would've won today if those 3 were playing. Maybe, still don't think Jones is the answer mind. Today, for example we put square pegs in round holes just so we could continue playing that system. A good coach (I will not say manager as we know Bruce is an idiot) would recognise that and have an alternative plan. Aye. What I've been saying. So you can then? I get what you mean anyway.

He’s almost certainly going to murder you in your sleep. Need to amuse myself as the football provides no joy.

Spot on once again, tubes. On a roll today.

Wish we kept Mbabu though. One of Rafa's few mistakes, getting rid and bringing Gamez in in 2016/17.

Need to win really. This and/or Brighton. Or we're down.

Fucking despise Edwards almost as much as Bruce. Hope he gets invited into a Saudi embassy in the near future. Bald cunt.

Plus Patriot Barnes. Top lad, loves a pint, hates horrid forners like Benitez. Don't think Bishy Bish is there anymore though. Although it's like choosing how you want to die, I'd much rather Llambias was MD rather than the bald cunt.

Well, Bournemouth was the end of McLaren. Can't see Ashley fucking this cretin off now though. SJP was toxic that day. This is when having fans in helps, Bruce has been getting away with murder all season with this tripe.
