Sheaf Saint

Very little if it is produced from renewable sources.

Kemi it is then. This is going to be interesting.

Only that's completely untrue. We actually did put a few crosses in to him and he even got his head on one or two of them.

Username checks out ✔️

Eh? We actually looked like we were trying to get an equaliser in injury time, and had the City defence pegged back more than we had managed in the whole game up til that point.

How did Haaland not score with that header?

Oh goody. yet another change in formation just to shoehorn Stephens back into the side. Not convinced a midfield pair of Downes and Lallana is going to put up much of a fight against City's attack. Seems far too lightweight for my liking.

Kevin Davies. When he came back from his failed move to Blackburn, he was very poor for us and looked like his career as a PL striker was well and truly over, but he found a whole new lease of life playing a somewhat different role for Bolton under Allardyce.

You seem surprisingly confident we would have actually scored if he'd given the penalty for the shirt pull by Ayew.

We managed to do it with the question of whether or not we should leave the EU, so it should be possible. Actually, that was a poorly judged, ill-thought out clusterfuck that has inflicted massive damage to this country, so let's not do that again.

Well that's bizarre, because I watched the replay and the defender clearly and obviously left his foot in to trip Dibling.

He was an absolute disaster at Everton, due to being stubborn and tactically inflexible. Sound familiar?

No idea who the ref was, but I remember us playing Man U in a cup game our L1 promotion season in 2010/11. No massive howler decisions, but the obvious bias on display was ridiculous. Literally every time a Utd player fell over he gave them a FK, but gave us nothing all game. There was a moment when one of our players was about to break forward and was cynically pulled down by the most obvious professional foul and nailed on yellow card you'll ever see, but he didn't even blow for a foul. As for the most awful individual decision, that goes to Uriah Rennie for disallowing a perfectly good goal by Ken Monkou against West Ham for an imaginary foul, when what actually happened was he turned Ruddock so brilliantly to get away from him, he ran into one of his own team mates and fell on his arse.

The same reason it's wrong to plant two different types of seed in a field or boil a baby goat in its mother's milk, if you're using the bible as a guide. Most people, however, are perfectly capable of recognising why murdering people is wrong, without the need for belief in fictional deities.

I honestly can't imagine any scenario in this league where Smallbone is the right player to bring on. Whether we are chasing a game or defending a lead, he is completely anonymous - a nothing player who can't run, can't tackle, and consistently gives up any midfield advantage to the opposition by being utterly fucking useless at everything you need a midfielder to be good at. And if I'm honest, I'd rather go on a date with Savage. At least I would have a bit of a laugh before being ultimately disappointed. Widdecombe would just have me wanting to gouge my own eyes out within about 2 minutes.

Fucking what!? The person who didn't do his job properly today is Russ himself. To try and throw a single player under the bus for that defeat today is utterly unforgivable, among a whole list of other unforgivable moments from him recently. Any goodwill this guy still had left among the fans (and probably in the dressing room as well) is rapidly evaporating. Time's up Russ. Bye bye.

Carbon copy of the Ipswich equaliser. Every one of our players camped in the 6 yard box, leaving multiple players unmarked on the edge of the area. Fucking pathetic management. Fuck off Russ.

And there it is. Bye Russ.

Put me down for 97th

It's all very well pointing the finger at the ref, and he has been terrible no doubt, but in all honesty we've played shit today and don't deserve anything from this game.

No, we really haven't.

Surely Fatawu was offside?

Oh fuck. This is gonna be a penalty isn't it.

Hanging on by the skin of out teeth now.

True, but he's been poor in defence. Given the ball away in our half a few times under no pressure. Obviously happy with the scoreline, but we're making very hard work of it and are lucky Leicester haven't punished any of our numerous giveaways yet. After we scored our first, they took control a bit and 3 times in the space of 10-15 minutes they had an uncontested header in our box from a set piece. Not good enough. So while I'm very happy to see us take a 2-0 lead, I'm still very far from convinced by the performance. As for the ref, I have genuinely never seen such ineptitude before. Absolutely shocking.
