Many posters seem to concentrate only on the poorer performers and ignore the fact that we were really good for over an hour ! There were many pluses tonight, maybe we should celebrate them !!

Oh and JWP had a good game as well so hopefully he’ll not be the whipping boy this week !!

On way home now and don’t get the overriding negativity on here so far ! Redmond worked his socks off and caused Norwich all sorts of problems (TBF his final ball does tend to let him down) but he and Long did their jobs effectively ! Bednarek, Ings & Hojbjerg also did well as did Romeu when he came on... Great result and if we can get a further few points v Newcastle, WHU and Villa we’ll start looking upward rather than down COYS

Strange lineup particularly that Cedric is still in ! I guess he’s looking fo continuity so we'll see how it goes ! COYS

McCarthy Valery Yoshida Bednarek Bertrand JWP Armstrong Hojbjerg Redmond Ings Djenepo I prefer Boufal off the bench as he is a great 'impact sub' but has often disappointed when starting ! Only IMHO !

Got lucky for once as Liverpool were actually the next ball out of the bag ! Dodged a bullet there !

Bring it on .........

Wow, JWP has really divided opinion big time, we'll have to start calling him 'Brexit' FWIW all around me during the game were saying that both he and Cedric were having a 'mare' and for sure he had a number of misplaced passes and poor corners ! He did some things very well (ie. the winning goal) and I don't think that 2 in the middle (along with Hojbjerg) particularly suits his game ! It was mentioned that the BBC report said he was MoM (surprised me !) but please also note that they said it was Boufal who laid on our first goal, not Djenepo so their reporter could hardly be classed as a reliable expert ! Anyway, bring on the Canaries.....

Norwich are much more open and attack minded than Watford so I’m expecting a completely different game ! Hopefully it’ll be more of an ‘away performance’ from us and we get the win ! COYS

He signed a new 5 year contract in May 2018 so still has 3 & 1/2 years to run ! No mention of mutual understanding so there will be an expensive pay-off for him and his staff ! Ive seen estimates of 15 - 20 million being bandied about !!

Absolutely, Jose makes it all about 'him' and it's hard to see Levy being upstaged ! Two really big egos will collide, only a matter of time

I know quite a few posters on here including our 'dear leader', Steve Grant (I guess everybody knows him though!). The difference between chatting in the pub and posting on here is enormous and must be down to body language more than anything, I guess !!

Inaccurate thread title as we are actually 3rd bottom

TBF playing for Celtic in the SPL is pretty much a guarantee to score goals, even Shane Long would get double figures up there

Well, I never googled anything, just gave my opinion based on my experience in Chinese speaking countries ! As it happens, my origin is Scottish and I've been called a Jock and a Sweaty Sock on a regular basis ! Although I'm not even remotely offended, should I be reporting it so that someone can be outraged on my behalf ? Honestly, all this PC b#llsh!t does my head in

Ps. The 'reply with quotes' on this thread are not showing the correct poster, I responded to Block5 and it looked like I replied to Miserableoldgit !!

If you want to play the 'family card' I have 2 grandchildren who are part Asian and I would never knowingly offend them but I just cannot see how the use of the word 'Chinaman' constitutes racist abuse ???

No, he has never been to IoW and was happy last night to rip the p*ss via WhatsApp!

I have spent a lot of time in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. I have Chinese friends and not one of them would be upset by the word ‘ Chinaman’. In fact they often use it themselves ! Please do not be offended on other people’s behalf, it is really unhelpful !!

I left on 90 mins (missed the 9th), got drenched, Redjet was nearly an hour late (stood freezing in a queue), rough crossing, got in car, main Yarmouth road was shut for maintenance, got home after midnight ! Oh and BTW, my brother is a Leicester supporter ! Pass me the blade.....

Wouldn't it be nice to get them at home in the 3rd round of the FA cup ? That's if they get that far of course

That's a real shame and obviously means that you won't be able to post a few pictures of you being there !!

Has anybody managed to infiltrate the Skatesonline site, would be fun to see their reactions ??

Nice to see the ‘hand holding surge’ at the away end after the game ! Must have wound up the Skates, big time..... (those that were still there of course!)! COYFS:)
