Burnley diving all over the place. Ref easily conned.

Just some of the decisions we've had in the last 2 seasons. Refs have no hesitation to send our players off (usually correctly) but other teams seem to get away with yellows. Some of the goals chalked off for offside too. Drawing lines until they somehow have us off. One week Ing's black arm band, the next Adam's wrist. Anyway, I know you want to do your usual arguing but this is the last I will say about this. Sorry.

Leicester player gives KDB a slap, KDB milked it a bit, yellow. Had that been a Saints player there'd have been no hesitation and red.

That's a tasty finish. I like him, yes he misses a few but he's always making runs, space and having a go. It's what we need, someone prepared to have a pop (and maybe miss) than the endless ball recycling. Hope he comes back full of confidence!

McChe!!!!

Hopefully someone can accidentally break Vardy’s ankle and whisper “VVD says hi” in his ear as he gets stretchered off.

Felt the same thing, mind you in 76 we despatched a London team in the Semi and a Manchester team in final...

I think that’s what he meant. Neither played for their loan club today.

Both have tricky run ins and then a potential loser goes down match on the last day!

Newcastle are in deep deep doo doo. mlg note: Yes I understand that neither Newcastle the city, nor the football team are in fact submerged in feces.

That’s not what I have on the card. Sorry. Come on Bully, show him what he would have won...

I’ll allow it. 2-0!

After the quick-fire round it’s 1-0 to Fan the Flames over MLG. Fascinating contest. Now on to the grammar check round...

That’s the trouble, these average players get paid too much...

Good performance by the lads. Hope we can somehow go all the way. Well done Nathan Redmond. I’ve been one of his harshest critics all season. The reason is that when he’s braver and tries to make things happen he’s not a bad player but all too often he goes for the backward option and when he decides he will play the ball forward he does so with such hesitation that he messes it up. One swallow doesn’t make a summer but if he can play more like this, week in week out against EPL teams then we’d be a better more effective team.

I wouldn't trust Redmond to start a lawnmower let alone a football match...

Just wait until P*mp*y come to town. 200,000 easy!

Why do his off days always seem to be match days? Apparently he’s amazing in training.

With each passing game I like him less. He's everything that's wrong about our team at the moment. 1) Never brave enough to take a chance and sprint into the box to tempt a trip or set up a chance 2) As soon as he gets the ball he stops. It's pass and move, not pass and wait for the other team to reorganize 3) His shooting is absolutely abysmal. Frequently basing over or just muffing it straight to the keeper 4) His passing is atrocious frequently passing straight to a defender when he has wide open team-mates. 5) Also, he doesn't appear to understand the value in a lead pass, playing the ball into space for someone to run onto. When his passes don't find an opposing player they are either behind or straight at a team-mate, killing moves stone dead. 6) He's moaning at his own team-mates but having a chit chat and a laugh with the oppo.

His legs are shot and he knows it. He won't commit forward too often because he knows he can't get back. If you look at many of the goals we concede we look outnumbered because we are and often Ryan will saunter into the top of the picture in a replay while the opposition are all celebrating. The centre backs know this and often shift over to compensate but then get caught in the middle of the passer and the recipient. Sorry Ryan, I appreciate all you have done but you are not EPL level anymore.

What’s the point of N’Lundulu anyway? He’s hopeless. He just comes on and fouls players. Is that the best we’ve got? A lumbering carthorse?

The confidence of the players is so fragile. They don’t expect to score when alone with the keeper, don’t expect decisions to go our way and won’t even appeal for decisions. When the opposition get a break like the ball coming off the post straight to an unmarked striker, instead of saying “they were lucky, we’ve got this, let’s keep trying” we just throw our hands up and go “oh well, not our day, best stop trying if everything is against us”. 2-1 down about 40 minute to play (incl. stoppages) and our lot have binned this game off. Not good enough!

There was definitely automatism. Automatically passing back and sideways with shoulders slumped and heads down. Need a software update or a reboot up the arse.

Jake Vokins is 28??

We will stay up but I fear for next season. With no real investment and many of top wage earners on loan at other clubs how do we avoid the drop? GK. We have 3 players who are all error prone and don’t inspire confidence FB: KWP is class, Bertie is finished, no legs left, liability. JV is still young. CB: JV, JB, JS, MS all look like carthorses, frequently ball watch, dive in, turn their backs, stand off. No real leader back there. CDM: OR, ID, JWP. Romeu too slow, ID too raw, JWP too nice. Obviously JWP helps with the free kicks but he’s not a leader. MIDs: Only Armstrong looks decent, and he often has stupid moments. MD, NR, TW are all the same player. Just constantly give away possession. For: DI head turned, injured too often. CA gets some goals but doesn’t ever seem to gain confidence, misses some shockers. Probably forgotten a few, forgettable players anyway. Tella, Obafemi, Lundulu, all shit. Doesn’t look like a very bright future.
