I'm at work and cant put the sound on. Who was that who scored our first goal?

Fair enough. I must have missed that news. Doesn't change the fact that Osborne got his prediction wrong though.

So a man with a 2:2 in history and whose only pre-government job experience was towel-folding in a hotel got his economic prediction wrong. He also told us we would have the deficit cleared by 2015. How's that coming along? Not everyone who voted remain did so because they are so f*cking stupid as to believe what a Tory MP tells them you know.

Absolute b0llocks. It was the single biggest factor that swung the result in Leave's favour. Did you not watch the news in the aftermath of the referendum? All the vox pops showing people up to be thick as pigsh!t because they thought that voting for Brexit would stop immigration from Islamic countries?

I went to the Everton away game in 2004/05. We lost 0-1.

Seriously? Among the numerous arguments in favour of leave that I read online, I would say that the ill-informed, ignorant and often outright racist anti-immigration ones are in the majority.

Yep. It was THAT goal from Kevin Davies in 1997.

It's not even xenophobic. Is it really unreasonable to expect someone who lives and works in England to know the language in order to perform better at his job? If I went to work in a bar in Spain, for instance, I would expect to have to learn Spanish and I completely understand why, because it would enable me to do my job better. Ask anybody in any business and they will tell you that effective communication is by far the biggest aspect of good teamwork. If everybody speaks the same dialect, then that is surely a good starting point towards that, don't you think?

Yeah I'm pretty much the same. Had £20 on at 6/1 which would return £140. Cash out was at £87 last week and I wish I had gone with that now. Have cashed it out for £59 and now I can spend the rest of the season cheering us on to stay up, safe in the knowledge that whatever the outcome I have trebled my money.

Just looking at the odds on this match and Bet365 have us as slight favourites at 6/4 with Everton at 7/4. WTAF!?

I'm sure they will come up with something. The latest attempt at reality-reversing propaganda comes from the Times headline that the Kremlin tried to get Corbyn elected last year using bots, completely ignoring the huge donations to the Tories from powerful Russians and the fact that the UK Russian embassy Twitter account actually endorsed and supported the Tories in the run up to the election. But on the subject of censorship, I notice that the BBC and the rest of the MSM have so far been completely silent about the calls from the Muslim Council of Britain for an urgent inquiry into rampant Islamophobia in the Tory party, after numerous recent instances of open racism and bigotry in the party. Funny that. It's almost as if the recent outrage over antisemitism in Labour was insincere and just politically motivated.

Chelsea already winning.

Yeah I have to concur with this. I found it amazing that we used all 3 subs but somehow he managed to stay on the pitch. He was a passenger for the whole game. We really needed him to put in a commanding performance at the tip of the midfield 3 and drive our attacks forward, but he was hopeless. I like him as a player, but if he isn't even going to bother trying he can do one.

Jesus, just take Lemina off. He's been awful and now he's a red card waiting to happen.

FFS Long. You won't get a better chance than that.

It wasn't handball. Looked like it might have been from the main camera angle in realtime, but the replay showed it clearly wasn't.

There we go then. The floodgates have opened. Only question now is how many more they will score.

Hmmm. The realist in me says it's over, but the eternal optimist in me thinks it still isn't outside the realms of possibility. Looking at their remaining fixtures, there's every chance that one or both of Huddersfield and Brighton could fail to get another point this season. Admittedly, that would still require us to get 7 points from our remaining games - wins against Bournemouth and Swansea and a draw at Everton would do it. The evidence of the season so far suggests we won't do that - but if we can just manage to keep our heads up and not capitulate every time we concede, it's not impossible. NURSE! Where's my medication!?
