You do talk some ******** dont you ? You do realise we, under RH, have taken 29 points out of 20 games so if that had been repeated over a full season we would have gained somewhere between 56 - 60 points. Thats hardly because of poor performance of rivals

Well I assumed the bench had told them Cardiff were losing so even if they levelled late on at Fulham the point we had was still good enough to ensure we would stay up (given the almighty goal difference advantage) For people to start booing was, to say the least, ignorant given the whole point of the season once RH came in was to keep the club in the Premier League after Hughes' pathetic 9 point haul.

He did exceptionally well to win the ball in the area which led to Targett’s goal. To be honest it’s only when watching the game back - both this one and Wolves the other week that I notice some of the work he does, he’s a clever player with a football brain. My only concern is his fitness. Whether you like him or not we are stuck with him.

they do realise they have beaten us just the once since they came up don’t they ? I mean fkin hell

their forum......what the **** ? Are they for real ?

Can we just not have to play Jack Stephens again. Absolute fkin nightmare of a defender. He’s no Ollie Lancashire I’ll grant you but he’s no Premier League defender either.

Thats because they have an inbuilt inferiority complex.

think of it this way, two teams have to get a result out of unlikely games (Brighton with Arsenal or Man City and that’s providing they beat Newcastle. Cardiff with Man Utd away and that’s IF they win the next two) and that’s without us picking up anymore points. One might do something, the chances of both is remote and the chance of all three things happening..... I’m always a pessimist - that way you can’t be disappointed - but even I can’t convince myself we will go down

well yeah true but nobody else has scored 3 in 4 games so while he’s finally found form and confidence keep him in.

Not sure why everyone wants to drop Long for Ings. RH said a couple of weeks ago they could play together, well here’s a good chance to test that out.

must be 4-3-3.......mustn’t it ?

Yeah I agree, its not really his fault as he has been shoe horned into different positions of late. Having said that the option to revert to type has always been there with JWP, hopefully Ralph has more about him than to let that happen again.

Looks like the Hammers statement is simply repeating Southampton’s objection. Well done to the Premier League actually considering supporters for a change.

Sorry but he’s always been average. Some on here tried to build him up as something special for a while but his weaknesses have always outnumbered his strengths, ie heading, marking, reading the game as obvious weaknesses whilst looking comfortable on the ball in the midfield area is the biggest strength I can think of. If not considering him good enough equates to being a boo boy then guilty as charged.

As you say. I always thought the women’s Cup Final was the May Bank Holiday Monday. What moron decided to schedule it against Premier League matches ?

well they can have him back then

thanks very much for this

They have been total dross

To be honest I would rather see what this Alfie Jones is like if we find ourselves this short again. He can’t be any worse surely

Compared to some if what we’ve got he is BUT this highlights we need at least two centre backs bought in for next season.

why ? Oh oh yeah it winds up the cherry pip fans doesn’t it !

define professional

Stephens off - that’s gotta be the end for this guy surely?

This is the second match in a row JWP has been shoe horned into the side. To be fair losing Valery to illness and Vestergaard weren’t ideal.

Didnt RH say McCarthy had a small injury problem during the week ?
