Please, let's not go through this again. R.I.P. Davide, truly shocking. 31 and supposedly fit as a fiddle and he apparently just drops dead.

Was 'mixed' in the Northam to say the least. I think it was mainly frustration at how badly we had played for the first hour when it was obviously a poor team to anyone other than MoPe.

The cross for Boufal's header was decent. If he could do that more often it would be fantastic but too often he looks for the safe ball inside.

TBF we did chuck a turkey onto the pitch after 79 minutes.

That first half was just painful viewing but you can bet your last penny MoPe will go back to that same system he started the game with and wont have learnt a thing. Why he waits until 63 minutes to actually try and win it I've no idea. It's like he starts every game thinking, 'let's just get through the first 2/3 without getting beaten and go from there'. Carrillo - Isolated Tadic - Useless on the right Redmond - Negative, wont take his man on Long - Offered absolutely nothing Boufal - One header aside, neither did he. Useless show pony, falls around a lot. On the plus side Sims - Ran at them, caused problems. Gabbi - F**k me, we actually looked like we were trying to score after he came on. Lemina - If we go down, he will be the best player ever to get relegated IMO.

I've never thought he was great but I can't really criticise him as he's been given nothing of any substance to work with. It's no coincidence that when Gabbi came on after 63 minutes it was a different game and we had them on the ropes for a while.

Went with two mates for the SOLE reason that I hadn't seen either of them in about a year and we fancied a good old fashioned Saturday afternoon get together in the pub. We went in with absolutely no expectations of the game and left with an even greater sense of apathy. I think it's gotten to the point, for me at least, that Premier League football is so sterile, vulgar and out of touch with the real world that I struggle to care about it.

£50m for a Championship fullback? I'm done with this planet.

I think it could be the worst thing that has ever and will ever happen.

Nice, although anything otherwise would be taking the p*ss a bit TBH. I know it's the paths etc. and not the pitch which need to be cleared but there's almost 48 hours between yesterday's snowfall and kick off. To not clear a relatively small area of land in that period would be a bit pathetic IMO. Good effort from all those involved!

And yet here we are.

It's good in principle but needs to be much better implemented than this. How we can see 3 replays of something on TV but when it cuts back to the live feed the ref is still discussing it with VAR I don't understand. The video ref SHOULD be checking every incident seconds after it happens, regardless of whether the ref calls for a review or not. At the moment it seems like he is sat there with his thumb up his a*se until the ref calls and then 'errrr... hang on a sec, let me have a look'.

The City end looked packed out to me.

If we're including tonight's game in this, Arsenal fans seem to be dressed as red plastic seats tonight.

That's the one, was a penalty right at the end.

Did anyone else go to Colchester in League 1, I think it was in Pardew's season? Everyone was calling for the ref to call of the match, partly because of the thick fog and freezing weather but mostly because we were 2-0 down.

Reading away in 2008 when we got one of the most unexpected wins ever through 2 BWP goals was pretty nippy. The winner for me has to be Leeds away just before Xmas in 2009. Snograss with a belter in an otherwise awful game. I think officially it was -7C.

This is not the greatest thread in the world.

That's a pretty good advert for changing our setup IMO, even if it does mean dropping him.

If Lukaku can look useless when isolated by a static midfield who wont get within 30 yards and fail to run beyond, then I don't see why people would expect differently of Carrillo. Gabbi has been crying out for someone to play off, Carrillo is crying out for someone to play off him... Hey, lets play Long and Redmond!

McC Cedric - Stephens - Hoot - Bertrand Lemina - Hojbjerg Sims - Gabbi - Tadic Carrillo But it wont be.

It's alright Les, we didn't need to replace Van Dijk.

Redmond ahead of Sims or Gabbi Romeu ahead of Hojbjerg

There isn't one. When every angry nutcase in the country has access to high caliber assault weapons, you've just got to sit there and watch your kids die every week. So long as they keep their right to bear arms and protect themselves from those pesky redskins, that's all that matters.
