Armchair Pundit

I'm afraid I'll never be able to forgive him for his part in Sir Bobby losing his job. Was an excellent foil to an aging Shearer, loved to see him winding up other team's players, but we were already on a downward slide by the time he had his bust up with Souness.

Very much so, with the shit, homer officiating, dodgy VAR and a couple of sitters missed, it deffo looked like it was going that way! Good three points though against a team who deserved nothing from the game.

First half was great, second half, not so much. Need to be starting Isak, some of the players deffo benefitting from a rest and being subs instead of starting. No way Wilson should be starting over Isak any time soon, think the season's been catching up on us since Christmas, we need these rotations for the remainder of the season I think. Hopefully win the next match and keep the pressure on the teams above us.

I didn't realise we've got two games in hand over the Spuds and LiVARpool, get a couple of wins and we're back in 4th. Interesting times!

Bloody baaaah! Why couldn't Man Utd play like that against us in the final, typical shite this!

We looked good previously with Burn and Botman in central defense, just need Targett back. Shame about Big Joe, but at least with Maxi back available it softens the blow a bit. Our biggest problem is we don't have a clinical finisher up top and our midfield have lost their scoring ability as well, maybe it's a confidence thing, probably just knackered though.

Think I prefer Lacelles to Scharr, on corners at least.

I don't know why, but I've got a feeling we're going to pick up again now that the cup's done. I honestly think it's been distracting the players.

Anyway, back to the football, thought yesterday was a good match all things considered. It was end to end stuff and apart from Man Utd being more clinical in the finishing for their two goals I didn't think there was much between the team tbh. When you think about how far behind we are as a club, 15 years of being held back and the complete lack in squad depth, I reckon it's right to think our future is bright. Hopefully it'll help show the chairman what we need to improve and it'll be a good bit of experience for a team who have outdone themselves to get where they are in the league and cup this season.

Hoping Madders comes on and injures Rashford enough for him not to play in the final

Clagnut-tastic

Do they have Klingons in the Outer Hebrides?

... is a bit shit leaving early though

#MeToo Seriously though, they're a right bunch of cunts on here, I left once (a loooooong time ago) and joined another forum (Toontastic)... then I decided they were a bunch of cunts as well, so I came back here. At least these cunts are my cunts

I doubt that greatly, it's in his dna to be like it I think

Whoa, treat others how you expect to be treated yourself I always say, haven't seen anyone on here giving you a hammering though. Take a chill pill dude, calm yourself down

Well, welcome to the forum if nothing else

We've been like it for a while tbh, all the draws and lack of goals since Chrimbo.

Turd, it's been coming since Christmas tbh. We certainly showed a bit of spirit, but we've lost all similarity to how we were playing before the World Cup. I really hope we're not being filmed currently for an Amazon series, I guess that could explain at least in part why we've dropped off though (Murphy's law being what it is). I don't want to hear any wanks slating people complaining either, yes we have got a way to go and it's amazing that we're where we are in comparison to previous seasons, well done on pointing that obviousness out. But, we clearly did well for the first half of the season to get us in the position we're in and that's carried us somewhat, we've been shite for a while now, no impetus, no pressing, no operating as much as a unit as we had previously. I think we're probably tired, but I also think it's fair that people feel disappointed in dropping points to teams further down the league who've been shit themselves. We've been treated to a taste of what we can play like when we're driven, and maybe we just haven't got enough players of a high enough calibre throughout the squad to help us last longer in the campaign (should we make European spots that'll only be harder next term!). There's just a nagging fear that we're reverting to type, in ability and luck - I mean, I hope we're not... but the contrast between the confidence the team played with during the first half of the season, compared to the anxious struggling we have now is massive for me.

Fucking LiVARpool wankfest extravaganza

At this rate I'm going back to the radio coverage, we always fuck up when we're televised.

I don't think I can be doing with all the LiVARpool commentators on Sky for this either, fucking channel's been putting on tele so much because they love to see us implode, cunts.

Reckon the St James' curse is still in place then, must have just been having a hiatus...
