That was a right proper stuffing. If it hadn’t of been for FF and them taking their foot off the gas, it could well have been 9 or 10. At 3-0 the game was done, why aren’t we capable of doing what most sides do when the games lost and sit in limiting the damage. We clearly needed an extra defensive body in midfield, but he kept 2 up top for way too long. It wasn’t city or Liverpool, but an out of sorts Chelsea that just got dicked at home by Brentford. So yes, it was one of the worst I’ve seen. No excuses, completely and utterly outclassed. As for this Xg, what a load of old pony. Does it take into account Thiago Silva played in his slippers smoking a cigar?

Zzzz

Fucking hell, the only one round here is a right 15 pinter, it’s nothing to do with hatred, more to do with “her” being a 6ft 4” hairy arsed jock.

It’s the most over exposed pastime there is. The amount of coverage, opportunity and exposure it gets compared to the amount of people who are actually interested in it, is off the scale. Some are now suggesting the mens game should cough up so they can go full time, what a load of old pony. They get enough off the back of the mens game, they can’t expect anymore. Being a feminist, I’d rather they stood on their own two feet rather than rely on blokes to help them out.

That’s a very 19th century outlook on things. The blokes should give the chicks an allowance, bit like housekeeping money I suppose. “Here you are pet, don’t spend it all at once”. If they can’t generate enough sponsorship, supporters of interest to go professional, then why should the mens game help them out?

His performance in the WC final was one of the greatest ever by an Englishman, absolutely fantastic. From then till about 71/72 there weren’t many better. Fully deserved a “look in” within the next tier down from Moore, Bestie, Greaves & Charlton. Every bit as good as KK or Bale were. Ask any Everton supporter and they’ll tell you, fantastic player long before he arrived at Saints.

The police had a slam dunk but fucked it up. Lots of evidence excluded because it was obtained improperly.

Keegan was a good player, but he’s not “right up there”. In terms of players at a peak, you can’t look much further than Bestie or Jimmy Greaves in the 50+ years I’ve been watching. In terms of great players with great careers, Bobby Moore, Charlton and Dalglish take some beating, but Bally deserves an honourable mention for his performance in the ‘66 final. Personally, as good as he is, Bale (along with KK) is the next level down. IMO

Fine margins, you are correct in one respect . If you’re not 100% on it, you’ll get beat in this league. Drop your standards slightly and even dog shit sides will beat you. That’s why we got beat, we slightly dropped the high standards and work rate of recent weeks, and got punished for it.

The jokes wearing thin now. It’s gone on too long and he needs to be killed off. Peter Kay got the timing right with Brian Potter, Partridge is just the same old tune over and over again.

It wasn’t particularly funny in the first place, but fuck me is Coogan milking it now. He’s become exactly what he allegedly takes the piss out of. Smug, corny, middle class twat, who thinks he’s still funny and edgy.

I’ll tell you what is a fucking joke, this “you can’t leave a single ticket” pony. The ticket next to me is spare, but my lad couldn’t couldn’t buy it because the one next to that is also spare. WTF…..

However, the big difference is they won the league & cup before hitting that wall. It’s probably the thing that pisses me off the most, not that we didn’t win the league (as that was a once in a generation thing) but that 2 fucking decent managers, with really really good players, we fucked up the cups badly. Poch & Koemans side could beat anyone on the day but we never really went full out in the cups. I know it’s not trendy, but it’s fucking frustrating for old cunts like me.

I thought he should have gone in the summer. You’re right in one respect though, despite people claiming I’m constantly calling for his head, once the season started I’ve not been calling for his head, even after a pretty horrible start. Im sure the cult won’t, but the time to judge a managers performance in a season, is when you’ve played everyone twice. Let’s hope we’ve put the horrific tactical fuck ups to bed and continue with the consistent high standards of the past month. I’d love to see us make up for the lame semi final surrender by going one better this season. I’ll even allow him a little cry if we do.

Although not at his best yesterday he still offers a physical presence and posed a threat to their defence. FF is kicking longer a lot more now which makes us less predictable, and the partnership between him & Adams looks like it’s growing. It’s obvious that staying for another season will be better for his career, but unfortunately other considerations trump that in football. Promising that his family seem to want what’s best (according to some posters), but I’ll believe it when I see it. If managers hung around longer, Tuchel would want him settled learning his trade elsewhere before returning in 2 or 3 years a fully rounded top 6 player. However, he won’t give a shiny shite about anything other than next season. If that means giving The family a load of old pony about his place in the set up, he’ll do it. If he continues as he has been this season, he may become an option off the bench for them next. If that’s the case The family will probably decide that’s “best” for him.

Exactly. The cult were so named because in their eyes he could do no wrong. Even when he admitted he had, they still refused to see it. Ralph was f**king woeful last season but a small slice of humble pie need to be eaten, because nobody really thought he could change tactically. The antis didn’t and I don’t recall too many of the cult saying he needed to change tactics, they were actually happy with his tactics last season. He’s shown a lot more flexibility this season and we’re a lot harder to beat, exactly what we were calling for. Personally I thought he was a one trick pony, he’s shown lately he isn’t. Long May it continue. As for the general running of the club, as you’ve pointed out the club wanted to keep Vesty, & Ings (not so sure about Bertrand) so this isn’t some sort of plan that’s suddenly all come together. Broja has made a massive difference to how we can play, so let’s hope there’s a plan in place for next season because Armstrong just doesn’t offer us the same options.

The person people who will never vote Tory want to be Tory leader. I work in his constituency, he’s basically a Lib Dem with a military background who loves publicly, bit like rory Stewart really. What ever happened to him?

Gone downhill imo, we’ve moved to Cricketers or London Rd tavern instead. Used to love The Alex, real decent pint of Landlord.

Why’s he not got the Labour whip, surely a man with backbone & a moral compass is needed . This is what the Jewish leadership council think. Of course Jews are at the bottom of the victim table, so don’t really count. When Jews complain about an obviously antisemitic mural in Tower Hamlets, Corbyn of course supports the artist. Hizbollah commits terrorist atrocities against Jews, but Corbyn calls them his friends and attends pro-Hizbollah rallies in London. Exactly the same goes for Hamas. Raed Salah says Jews kill Christian children to drink their blood. Corbyn opposes his extradition and invites him for tea at the House of Commons. These are not the only cases. He is repeatedly found alongside people with blatantly antisemitic views, but claims never to hear or read them.Again and again, Jeremy Corbyn has sided with antisemites rather than Jews.

His politics are nearer yours than mine. He’s a soppy pinko , bit like you really. You’re right for once, there is “little surprise” how I voted, anyone who wanted Brexit had no other choice.

😂 He’s an anti Semitic, terrorist loving half wit. He’s even been chucked out of the Parliamentry party he’s so beyond the pale. No surprise you think he’s got a “moral compass”, says a lot about you. The reason Boris got an 80 seat majority wasn’t down to his probity and standards of behaviour, it was because the alternative was Steptoe. The voters knew exactly who and what Boris was, the problem for you was they also knew exactly who and what Corbyn was.

Fat Sam was using data, analytics and statistics last century, so it’s not quite as modern as the hipsters think.

That wasn’t the debate. The debate was who had the “higher ceiling” 😂

Bollocks. It’s obvious which one had the “higher ceiling”, it’s laughable that anyone thought otherwise. Let alone all these people who watched them regularly.
