Shane Long was utter gash. He barely got near the ball and when he did he fell over trying to con the referee. He’s not EPL quality and shouldn’t be anywhere near our matchday squad. This “his effort level” excuse doesn’t cut it, he didn’t show any more effort than anyone else on the pitch. The only reason he got the nod is because Ralph doesn’t trust the young lads and for whatever reason Obafemi has regressed and is not in Ralph’s plans right now.

Not buying it. I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t know when to use an apostrophe or not.

That’s a great result for us! MLG and Turkish notes: This is based on nothing other than my opinion and I have not consulted the historical statistics for all the relevant fixtures, climate, nutritional requirements of the players, or even the demographics of their upbringings. Thank you.

It seems MLG has been hoist by his own petard...

Oh no, was I being pedantic? Annoying isn’t it? Anyway...

Yeah it’s been terrible. Fancy me hoping that Djenepo could be half as good as Mané. Thank you for taking time from your busy day to set me straight. We’re lucky to have fans of your caliber posting on this site.

Both those teams have sold players this season.

Which two?

Yes, I’m furious that we have a player equal to Mané that we keep on the bench until there’s 30 seconds left.

Looks like Turkish bot got an MLG v3.7 update for Christmas...

Yes, how stupid of me. I forgot that the two players were cosmically linked and only score against identical opponents.

Great, I look forward to a welcome 3 points. Thanks!

Recent history I guess. Last season: L L W (vs us at St Mary’s) L L then later in season L L W (vs us at Olympic Stadium) L L.

Great, I look forward to seeing all his goals against our next opponents West Ham United.

Jesus, if only Djenepo was half the player Mane is. We’d have so much more threat from that left hand side.

West Ham looked like total shit today. No doubt they’ll be an entirely different prospect full of energy and creativity when we face them.

I guess what people are failing to grasp is that it’s not moaning it’s frustration that we’ve pissed away another 2 points. We should have beaten Arsenal, missed chances vs Wolves, lost 2 points today. We could be in a really good position in the table but annoyingly we’re dropping further down with each game.

Absolutely. Anyone saying otherwise is just desperately trying to look like a level headed football expert but failing...badly.

Yep, clear as day deliberately moved his arm to deflect the ball. I swear some on here like to play the contrarian because they think it makes them look special. I’d have had no complaints if one of ours had done that and the ref pointed at the spot.

That’s the trouble, refs have cottoned on. Big team they give it and then let VAR correct any mistakes (they are scared of getting crucified). Small team and they don’t give it and they let VAR correct a mistake. The problem is this “clear and obvious” bullshit. It means big teams get decisions that the smaller teams don’t. Utterly corrupt EPL trying to protect their product.

Get Walcott alongside Adams, he does better when he doesn’t have time to think (case in point his finish from Adams’ pass). In midfield he can’t make his mind up and holds on to the ball too much, he passing up good chances to thread a pass or shoot.

You’d think Ralph would be looking to have what he feels is the starting XI for the WHU game (bar Romeu) on the field from 75 onwards to get them a bit of cohesion. He’d better not go with Long again. He was a waste of a shirt today.

Must really annoy the subs too. Djenepo got ~30 seconds. Why?

That was awful. On to the next one, our bi-annual shit show vs WHU...

Djenepo gets 30 seconds. Ok then.
