Whitey Grandad

It wasn’t nearer our goal, but do you realise how pathetic it is complaining that the kick was taken a few yards further infield? It doesn’t matter where Dean was pointing, it’s not as though he had sprayed a pile of shaving foam on the spot. It was actually taken from where he thought the offence had occurred. They took a quick free kick, we were caught out by it. We should have used every trick in the book to break up the game but there was a lot of inexperience out there. Højbjerg was childish when he kicked the ball into the stand and got booked for it. That held him back from then on.

It wasn’t 46 points it was 44. Sense of entitlement? Quite the reverse. I can’t get excited over finishing 8th, marginally higher than all the other anonymous teams that finished within a couple of points of us. We weren’t 8th best, we were 12th least worst. What did we win? What prize did we get? It was an awful season and I hope and expect for better.

We shall never know, of course, but we were declining under him in the later stages.

We must beat Swansea. And a couple of others, but Swansea away is the crucial one.

Yep. I’m not worried.

It’s a football match, not a Boys Brigade concert.

That’s true, but this has been a regular feature for several seasons.

Do you think Puel would have got more? ‘Past performance is no indication of future performance’

Drums do not make an atmosphere. They’re a bloody irritation and are feebly pathetic. Excitement on the pitch creates atmosphere.

He’s in a different league!

Came on at 90+2 minutes. You could be forgiven for missing him.

What on Earth have the last 2 games got to do with Puel?

48 points??? The football was worse than boring.

Targett is a shît Left Back.

On 46 points with a goal difference of -7 The team in 13th position had 44 points. I don’t call that a good season.

And Long. He slipped at least four times. Mind you, the opposition never seem to have any problems.

They were worse than that. The swear filter won't let me say what I really think.

Can I be greedy and ask for both?

You can say that again.

3 in each of the last four league games. Did you forget Newcastle?

1. Appointing Pellegrino. 2. Nor sacking Pellegrino in November/December/January etc. 3. Not replacing Fonte/VVD with top-class defenders.

Strange results happen over the last few games of the season. No, I can’t see it either. 3 o’clock kickoffs on a Saturday here we come

Yep, I totally agree. (Except for Sims). At 2-1 take the steam out of the game. And what the f*** were they trying to do for Hazard’s goal. We had 8 players to their 4 and they still gave Hazard time and space to kill the ball and blast it into the net. That’s the trouble with trying to pack the box, the man-marking goes out of the window.

It wasn’t his fault that our defence was sh!t.

This complaining about where the kick was taken from is all very feeble though. They took the kick from where the offence (if any) actually occurred but not from where Mike Dean was pointing. We were naive and got caught out. Instead of the players complaining about the location they should have got back and defended. Does a few yards on the halfway line make any difference when the ball is played out to the wing?
