I'm not very comfortable with this ganging up on Lord D to be honest. Tantamount to bullying if you ask me. Cut him some slack, FFS.

Anyone got a running total on the number of managers sacked after losing to us...?

Name one person that thinks Ralph didn't make any mistakes last season. No rush, I've got all day. Alternatively, name one person that doesn't think that our injuries, coupled with squad depth, wasn't a contributory factor in the second half of the season decline....

This. Lord D hits the nail on the head yet again. Never doubt the person that is never wrong. In my eyes, Lord D is a legend, and he does even cry.

The good thing about this is that when the Saintsweb intelligentsia (aka the "glad I was proven wrong in hindsight" brigade) criticise something, you can bet your bottom dollar that said thing being criticised will come good in due course... ergo, my money's on a Salisu throw-in assist Vs Norwich.... #banterparty

Please don't besmirch the good character of Lord D. I'll have you know he's never been wrong or wide-of-the-mark, ever. Not once. I'd rethink your aspersions smartish if I were you, sonny Jim.

We were top of the league this very day last year. Hope we don't go back to those dark days... #banter

I'm definitely going for Ballard as my "academy player that comes out of nowhere to make a surprise first team appearance before the end of the season" choice this year

So, we weren't "utter shite", "awful," or "abysmal" then...? #saintsweb_intelligentsia Cheers for the first hand report - nice one.

Did I also hear him criticise Stuart Atwell on VAR? Said something about having him as VAR last week too? Assume he'll be sanctioned like Ralph was if that's the case? (I may have misheard of course)

Which law(s) of the game covers that scenario? It maddens me when refs don't take each incident on its own merit. Tonight's ref didn't do his job properly, plain and simple.

This. My motm

Cheer up

Is it too soon for the annual look back at the threads from earlier in the season for a bit of a chortle?

Never. Any. Doubt

Because he's shite

This inept referee hopefully

So that's 3 yellows for the same player so far then...

Inept refereeing

Championship level at best

Cheerio Ralph. #legend

I definitely think he's trying to be too accurate at times. Good assist for the goal though, so he ultimately played his part in the victory.
