While death threats over a football match are the work of nutters, if the Villa and United games prove to be a catalyst for the end of his career, and I hope they do, I would feel some good has come from the suffering. I've always been curious about the patterns of yellow cards that Mike Dean gives out....he let's one team get away with stuff, but throws yellows at the other team like a gambler's dream. No consistency, making it very difficult to predict...I suspect you'd get long odds on things like six bookings for one side and none for the other. Strange things happen around this man. Let's get him out of the game and try to rebuild trust in officials.

I also see Austin Hayes, Terry Curran, Malcolm Waldron, Forbes Phillipson-Masters, Peter Wells, George Shipley, Nick Holmes, Phil Boyer, Ivan Golac, Trevor Hebbard, Charlie George, Terry Gennoe, Dave Puckett, Tony Sealey? A couple I don't recognise....

If it's really about inclusion everyone should get the job, like non-competitive sport where there are no losers....a great preparation for life. 😨

Apologies if someone has said this already but I'm not up for 24 depressing pages.... Prowsie's free-kick yesterday was fucking incredible and has sadly been lost in the tide of shit that the week brought. Absolute world class.

I've been there when we've conceded 7 at Luton and Spurs, 6 at Everton, and 5 at Man United. Then again I've seen us score 8 on two occasions. All of those beat any Claude Puel 0-0 masterclass.

It's Leicester City who are the real victims. They had 11 v 10, United had at least 15 v 9, and their result has now been exposed as a fucking scam orchestrated by Mike Dean. Apologies are due to Leicester who will now not get the credit or those occasional mentions that we were all enjoying so much. And it can't be said too much - fuck Mike Dean, everyone now agrees that you're a cunt, even your fucking boss.

Anyone who has played the game at any level knows that the Villa one was a blatant handball and that Martial dived before contact. Some refs have read the laws alright, but clearly do not understand how the game is physically played. Footballers know when studs are left in deliberately, or if an elbow is accidental, referees need to have played the game or at least get a better feel for it. As for offsides, they are beyond help - neither Ings nor Adams were offside, it was as clear as day in front of their eyes and they still got them wrong.

Yes it was awful and the start was suicidal, but... Every time commentators reference last night, which they will, their co-commentator should be contractually obliged to add, 'Ah yes, The Mike Dean Show.' Because that's what it was for eighty minutes. When their guy came flying out and shoulder-barged Djenepo in a heap and didn't get booked we all knew what was coming - soft yellows chucked around like confetti, tried to give a penalty that wasn't, onside goal ruled out, hilarious dive rewarded, ludicrous red card - it was just the next date on The Mike Dean one-man show clusterfuck tour. Putting aside our issues, the football has become secondary, no ref should be trending on Twitter, and Paddy Power shouldn't have to give refunds. As for VAR, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just technology, and it works....if used correctly. It was brought in to help people who can't operate a whistle, so why have we put the same twats in control of it? Imagine a situation where every day at work before you go home, a colleague will analyse your performance, knowing you will be doing theirs tomorrow? It's a mental idea that has led to all refs just meekly agreeing with each other to protect themselves. And at the top of that ugly sycophantic heap we have Mike Dean, undisputed King of the Twats.

I was fortunate enough to see the Man City game and I spent quite a bit of it shouting at Mike Dean that he was having a fucking shocker. It was time well spent.

Mike Dean has rewritten the offside rule. What the fuck is he on?

Credit where it's due, the vaccinations are rolling out quicker than I expected after seeing the testing shambles. Let's hope the second ones get rolled out in time.

You lot need to stop moaning, these things even themselves out. Yes we got robbed of a penalty, possible red card, two decent goals and three points that equal a six point swing - but next month we'll probably get gifted a throw-in on the halfway line or a goalkick. 😊👍

With every new incident that became the type of game that raises eyebrows in the unit that investigates gambling.

I think they're more worried about how unhappy their fish look.

Our paths crossed back in the day and he was a nice guy, a gentleman and a great servant to Saints.

Every team would struggle if you took out three of the back four and the guy who sits in front of them. I see no crisis, we simply need to get players back - and establish more squad depth.

Good to see they're still trading from PO4 - the only postcode named after a local derby.

I think some people are confusing a stammer with senility - I'm no medical expert but just because he stumbles over some words it doesn't mean he's senile... Or perhaps they just like taking the piss out of speech impediments, which let's be fair, was considered top banter, between the wars. Either one is an unusual approach, especially when you consider the obvious signs of serious mental issues that were displayed by the previous president, the man behind the senility allegation - a follow-up to his hit singles Obama isn't American, All Mexicans are Rapists and Let's Inject Bleach.

I wasn't convinced but in fairness the fish do seem happier, insolvency experts are planning for a busy year, ex-pat bankrobbers might be coming home, Scottish trawlermen are getting some nice weekend cruise breaks in Scandinavia, lorry drivers have their own county as a theme park and gravediggers have never had it so good. 🙂👍

Was it the guy fielding at Turd Man?

Turks makes a very good point, again - we've been fortunate to have such competent ministers, experienced professionals with integrity, guiding us through this crisis. If some bloody marxist-woke-loony-leftie-trans-remoaner-liberal elite-snowflake-BLM-pinko had been in charge dishing out taxpayer backhanders to their mates and fucking up the economy, we could have had 100,000 dead. Boris has been a fucking hero in very difficult unprecedented circumstances, and thanks to his astute and decisive approach, we lead the world in every field of human endeavour, and our fish now look happier too.

So we're waiting for him to adjust to the weather... Did he not pack a coat?

This government is a right mess - with the emphasis on right. It's an Eton Mess.

If one family in ten trades a voucher for shit, that means 90% of families in poverty are eating tonight.

The NHS parcels were the same last summer, less than a tenner of often really poor quality food, often not even wanted - £40 each to the taxpayer. Unboxed cereal bags, bizarre soups, tuna, soap and tea in the same bag, and much of the 'fresh' produce I saw went straight back in the bin it must have been bought from. Someone did the stats at the time and even if you spent £10m on a distribution hub and accounted for delivery charges, the profit margins were in the region of £9m - a week. It was an incredible lottery win for the companies awarded the gig - people were able to retire on one government contract.
