Do we really think the board got rid of Puel because of the rumblings on internet forums? It'll be because of something behind the scenes (e.g. players unhappy / coaching staff raising concerns / Les falling out with him) or, and possibly key, falling ticket sales / poor season ticket renewals. The fact that flipping Puel for MP hasn't worked is down to the club again, not the fans, and of course if people vote with their feet or the real cash cow, the TV money, is in jeopardy due to the threat of relegation, the board will act again and find a new manager. It's always about the money, always. Blaming the fans is missing the point, it can't be our fault as we have absolutely no power in the running of the club, other than to stop going. Would have been interested to see a Puel side with Pelle and Mane personally - much as the football was boring as hell last year, the suspicion that the managers are trying to make a silk purse from a sow's ear is looking very likely now...

so, for all the worrying about being relegated, people like Billy Sharp are for me real football and if we go down I would take 11 players with the commitment and drive of him over our current overpaid shower of ****e. he clearly gave a ****, and to be honest for my 50 quid that is what I want more than anything else.

this. On the upside my garden borders are looking a lot better and I managed to work off my hangover

I have genuinely just seen Boufal in the kebab shop in Weeke, north Winchester so I’ll be surprised if he’s involved tomorrow. His mate left with 2 pizzas and Boufal had some polystyrene cartons that normally hold kebab meat or chip specials :-)

He looks like somebody who hates his job fullstop no matter who he plays for

Reintegrate him. Footballer looking after himself and a bit of a **** shock

It's a mental disease caught by people of a certain age in the upper west stand at The Dell :-)

Can we sue Liverpool for the cost of VVD's wages during this strike period - or from the point of the meeting with Klopp? Might be worth a shout as they have clearly caused this. Alternatively sue VVD's agent. In other news, does anybody know if Ronald Koeman still own's that flat he was in in Ocean Village? There was a silver Aston Martin there yesterday - 500 RK. Just wondered if we'd sell to Everton for 50m

Front row, right where the ball landed for me. If you watch the video I jump up just after everybody else as I was convinced it was hitting the crossbar

Raffles, what a nightclub

And the problem with Chinese takeovers is that 15 minutes later you need another one...

£100m in 2 £50m instalments please - 2nd just before the Jan transfer window. Then you can have him

Ruth Davidson would be brilliant, but I can't see the DUP working with a lesbian!

Because you touch yourself at night

Did he have a knee trembler with John Terry in the airport loo?

So, as a classic floating voter, I think that May has been an appalling PM and run an appalling campaign but that she is going to win, and increase her majority (but not by as much as she should have). Big question then, should she be ousted by the Tories as soon as they get in and if so, who should be PM?

Exactly, but lets sell them $110Bn of weapons cos they are rich. Please don't turn off our oil...

Needs to fit the weights and protein over the summer, starting to look excellent going forward, still shaky in defence at times for me but defenders come good later in life so all good.

Michael Antonio is in that list in the top 20. say no more

apparently he is patron Saint of Catalonia as well. bet they are celebrating in Barcelona

He did a trick a couple of times last night. In the first half I may have exclaimed with my outside voice "JWP did a trick?" much to the amusement and amazement of the people around me in the Chapel (amazed at the trick)... He's a good player, getting massively bigged up as it's part of the media narrative about our academy I suspect but he's getting better and contributes more than he used to. Cracking goal as well...

I'm a remainer but even I think Juncker is a bellend. Mind you, I think the first story is fair enough - California first and I can get back to LA .

I was well aware it wasn't soundtracked for the movie but was referring to it as such to make it recognisable. Same for the music that Direct Line have commissioned a rip off of instead of paying the fee (unless the original artist refused permission I suppose)
