Do you attract any donkeys?

Days, of course, but you’re right. Whether that’s enough of an excuse is a moot point. We flew back from Manchester on Wednesday night, four days ago. Brighton’s last game was eight days ago. At home.

We didn’t. We never started pushing forward.

No spirit, no fight, no urgency, nothing. Why we persist in trying to play the ball around in the last few minutes? There is too much emphasis on just trying to control the ball and none on getting it in where it hurts.

Danny Murphy sums it up... overplaying.

All I’ve seen him do is fail to control a pass . He’s obviously been practising it.

Have we ever won a game from a winning position?

What a legend! He will always be remembered for his greatest creations, "Trill makes budgies bounce with health" "Opal Fruits, made to make your mouth water."

That’s great news. Please advise him to take things slowly. His immune system will have taken a hammering and even though he may feel fine it’s a long road to full health.

I was with you up until then. I’m struggling to remember him ever looking for a penetrating forward pass.

Without men there would be no women.

But do you think we might get ‘a result’?

Do they have a best XI ? This is what happens when you throw unlimited amounts of money at a football club.

You might very well think that but the picture that you think you see is not what actually happens. In an earlier life I did a lot of research into television signal processing and transmission and was a representative on international technical committees and have several papers published at international conferences. These referees are not ‘ some fat middle aged bloke’, they are as fit as the players and are regularly tested for their performance levels.

It looked a clear penalty to me but the camera views don’t show whether or not McCarthy got a faint touch on the ball. Television doesn’t give the best views.

Jellyfish defending cost us tonight. And too many players out of position. No cohesion in the midfield and back line. Stephens watched the game go past him bin both directions. Cut out the silly mistakes, put Forster in goal and we might have got something out of that game.

You’d think that Stephens would have learnt how to head the ball by now.

Let’s all stand around and see what happens, shall we?

Statues in defence and Mr. Wobbly in goal. What could go right?

The complications that you describe are exactly why VAR is a bad idea.

Totally varcical.

It's a cheap shot. An unsubstantiated allegation that cannot be proven or discounted. To bring it up at this stage several years after it is supposed to have happened is despicable.
