Well this is poops.

Fucking Liverpool. Smash a team we couldn't give 2 shits about 7-0 last week and get beaten 1-0 by the League's worst team. (Well according to the table this morning that was accurate) Yes we should be concentrating on our own results but a few results going for us amongst our relegation rivals would help. That result didn't help. And I know I keep saying I already think we're down, I do, the signs have been there all season IMO not least today, but it's nice to be able to dream of a miracle recovery that propels us to 17th on the last day or something.

Juanmi with the assist for the Betis equaliser I believe. Is it wrong to hope Rashford gets a little teeny knock tonight? Maybe a week out...

I wouldn't use the word "comfortable" of our finish last season. Hypothetically IMO had the season been, say, 2 matches longer we would have dropped. Our last 12 games' results last season was 1 win, 2 draws and 9 defeats. 5 points from 12 games. Granted that followed a reasonably decent spell of form (which probably saved us from the drop) but it's like the players just gave up or something. Still I'd take that over this season...

"I Know What We Should Have Done Last Summer"... the new sequel to the hit movies. But yeah IMO Ralph should have gone last summer. His tactics were all over the place, his line-ups and subs were weird, his end of season results were awful and the players seem to have been surprised we kept him. I actually liked Ralph as a person and you could see he cared for us but we had a chance to bring somebody fresh in and start the season off with a clean slate. Then perhaps we wouldn't have almost panicked and thought Jones was up to the task. Ironically had we kept Ralph this season instead of sacking him I do think we'd be in a better position now (especially with January signings) but... who was to think Sports Republic would bring in a Championship manager who had already failed at Stoke. We've wasted so much time with the Jones appointment I think we've left Selles too little time to do much. The appointment of Jones was a worse decision than holding on to Ralph though. Would I have Ralph back for the Championship? Nope, move on.

This will be the most annoying thing about relegation this season - that we finally seem to be signing decent players after the dross of the last few years, and yet it seems to little to late. If we WERE to stay in the Prem next season we'd have Sulemana, Charly, ABK, Lavia, Salisu, Big Paul, Tino, KWP, JWP all in the same team together and then we can work around the edges. We'd actually have a good looking first team. Sadly I don't think that will come to pass and we'll probably see half of them shipped off in the summer.

Man Utd, Brentford, Spuds. 5 or more points from these and I'd say we are well back in the race for survival. 3 or 4 would be borderline acceptable. 0-2 and we may as well start checking out our Championship opposition. A point this weekend would be a very nice start but I refuse to get my hopes up. United will be wanting to prove a point and, well, we still stink.

Liverpool in transition without Mané and with Firmino leaving but they are right to have stuck by Klopp as it shows. They still make good signings. Just need to strengthen their defence and sort out their midfield once and for all and they'll be challengers next season.

Annoyingly I'd rather be facing United after a 5 nil win for them than a loss but it shows they're flawed despite recent good form. At least we don't have to face Liverpool until... ah. Last day. Need to be safe by then.

Great result for us. We need as many people to be in the scrap as we can and neither of those sides winning would have done us any favours.

We’ve got more points from Leicester and Chelsea this season than we have from the other 17 teams combined. Crazy. I refuse to believe we’re back in this fight but for now, tonight, I’m enjoying the result.

Yep that was a loss against a better team that can finish.

This. For me we’ve already spunked too many easy points away, not least the 6 pointer against Leeds. Last two matches of the season are Brighton and Liverpool. 😳This result gives us a chance but IMO we’ve probably been “down” for a while. Mind you stranger things have happened.

39 points left. Will put us on 60 points for the season. Nice. 😬

ABK, Lavia and Walcott the stand outs today. ABK my MOTM.

Off the bar! Fuck

Leicester free kick. I can't look... Ward up...

AMN overhead kick. Woo. Fight you bastards fight.

5 minutes added. Shitty pants time.

ABK been decent too so far. Proactive rather than reactive Adams MOTM.

It'll be their first shot on target

If we win this it will be because of the ineptitude of Leicester rather than our brilliance.

Stu on for Kamaldeen

Mara really trying.

Jesus get AA off he's been awful
