The sweet smell of sour grapes and indolence

Their defence was never going to be good enough and that was the area of the team that they chose to not improve

I’m thinking about fourth. With kind results we could be in the top four next weekend and if, come January, we are within touching distance the club might just be tempted to spend to accelerate our development. Pipe dream, obviously, but hey

I thought that today’s game showed what a very good outfit we are. They were struggling to deal with us before the sending-off, which only served to make the probable, inevitable, imo. We are really well coached, really fit and make the most of our considerable strengths. The fact that results like this haven’t come earlier is happenchance

Southgate is expert at losing a second-half

Southgate gets sacked. Howe gets the England job. We get Southgate. I’d give up because we’d never achieve anything under him. He’s not got it

If you can’t get a team of players as good as these English players are to produce even a half-chance for as good a player as Kane is then you are in the wrong job

OK, it was a compliment. Sorry

Plebs?

9 just for Isak

They’ll look back and regret that

It was cringingly embarrassing when he effectively corrected the co-commentator’s Player of the Match decision

The pitch at St Mary’s looks grim

I did; basically described his outstanding abilities in a number of attacking positions and said that West Ham should take care of him, clearly believes he is a massive talent. McCoist and Given(?) then took the piss a bit saying that Vickery had compared Paqueta to Pele; he didn’t say that, he compared Neymar to Pele and described how Paqueta was skilful enough and clever enough to play with Neymar so that Brazil get the best from him

Ref Watch Dermot thinks we should have had a penalty
