I wonder why it is that considering things are always black and white with you (admittedly mostly black), your existence seems so grey to me?

Yup, I agree with you on that one. It's my kids I feel sorry for. They aren't old enough to remember when we were in the Prem before and now we're making a right pig's ear out of it. Living in London they're getting a fair amount of stick.

Exactly. So why are some so goddamn effin surprised?! Be angry that you felt we should be going all out to win a trophy by all means but don't act surprised about it. If Cork hadn't been out for so long and Ramirez recently got injured one or two more first teamers may have been risked but given the current situation, wrapping most of our first team in cotton wool is a good thing.

One thing we seem to have brought with us into the Prem from our form at the back end of last season is our inability to play well for more than about 45mins in each match.

And?

True but ignoring how important possession is in the modern game is one of the blinkered viewpoints having a negative effect the English game and grass roots football.

Hi much action has Lee seen recently? Give the guy a break.

TBH brutally honest, anyone that travelled expecting to see the first team two days after an afternoon kickoff deserve all they get.

And here we go. ******.

68% possession according to BBC.

The quotes from Craig Burley on Varney's miss are priceless.

Arsenal reserves doing well tonight.

I'm sure most of those that travelled would have been intelligent enough to realise what was likely to happen.

The voice of doom. You didn't spot we only played two days ago too did you?

Exactly. Also failing to acknowledge we only played two days ago. Even more reason to ring the changes.

Hopefully the second half performance will give the guys a boost for the next game.

Get the feck in!!! Now c'mon Saints. You owe me for attempting to ruin my 40th last Saturday.

TBH while some players haven't stepped up to the plate I think that the performances now are almost as much about shredded confidence as the quality of the players.

Can't believe if the first half performance was as bad as it sounds NA didn't make changes at HT. Change shape 4-3-3 Mayuka for Punch as part of the front three and JWP for JRod to give us more in midfield.

Thanks for the fortieth present lads. Bunch of ****s.

I can never decide whether these posts using bad English do so for comedy effect or because the person writing them is foreign.

Didn't see enough to say how the performance was but the last 20 mins were poor on the whole. Fox wasnt getting much support and we switched off for both goals. Chaplow and Guly did well but thought JRod often seemed to take too long to read the play. Lambert would probably have buried that chance near the end too.

There's the ****in cherry on the cake. Devoid of ideas and no confidence. Awful last 20mins.

Shocking miss from JRod.
