I think Hughes comments about Moss the ref were a riot: "The assistant referee is about two or three yards away and clearly sees it isn't a foul but Jon Moss, as he usually is, about 30 yards behind play, decided to give a free-kick. "To compound that situation he allows them to take it from the wrong position, 10 to 15 yards ahead, and at that point we are still arguing about whether it should have been a free run on goal for ourselves." "Asked whether he has spoken to Moss, Hughes replied: "What's the point? He's probably getting his breath back."

yep, I think I just counted 14 Hudders players parked behind the ball

On the positive side, our form is actually much better with Hughes. We've now gotten 5 points in the last 3, two of which were away from home. If we beat Swansea it will be 8 pts in 4. We waited way too long to replace MP.

Not winning this match has really nothing to do with our chances getting ahead of Swansea, we always had to beat them. It was everything to do with getting ahead of Hudders. We'd be ahead of them right now, which means if they lost out we'd be in.

Time to see if this team can put in 1.5 weeks of solid football; B'mouth, Everton, and Swansea.

Well, we have it back under our control now. Win 2 in a row and we're safe, no other results necessary. Even a draw and a win and we're safe

The Cherries look like they have started their offseason early

If Swansea loses we need at least a draw. A win would be great for our matchup with Hudds, but we need at least the draw to pull ahead of Swansea.

Ha ha, Swansea sucks. We are much better than they are.

Cherries!!!!

Cherries are ****ing me off

A win today and I still think we need a draw against Swansea. I worry the Hudders pull a off a draw somewhere

Regardless of what language he speaks

I think if Hughes keeps us up he's earned the job for next season

Works for me.

Yep, 4 pts in our next two put us up over Swansea for sure. However we may just need 3, I think its actually probable that Hud lose out and end up on 35.

WHU with 2 own goals

3 more points in our last 3 matches me just do this, especially if they are against Swansea. Huddersfield could likely finish at 35 pts, and their gd is terrible. If we beat Swansea they would need 3 points from their other 2 matches, since we would likely beat them in gd.

I thought we played excellent today, Redmond aside. One big difference to me is that we seem to be attacking defensively more in the midfield area (both mids and defenders). Rather than in previous games where we sat back and let the other team have possession and tried to suck up the pressure, which always led to scores, we were closing the space and fighting for every ball. The Cherries never had that much space. I credit this Hughes.

The refs do us in again

We need another here before half

So far so good

I read that he refused to warm-up before a game for some reason, so he had a big blow up with Hughes. I read that Hughes even threw a water bottle at him. I don't think Hughes takes much crap. Anyway, who knows if its true.

Remaining matches (we likely own the gd tiebreaker) -its not over, 2 wins may do it. Three should do it. Saints: B'mouth, @Everton, @Swansea, Man City Swansea: Chelsea, @B'mouth, Saints, Stoke Hudders: Everton, @Man City, @Chelsea, Arsenal

Pretty much everyone (commentators too) think it should have been a goal. Austin didn't do anything wrong really.
