We played well in the first half without making the most of our chances.

It was a very scary experience. Just before the wall collapsed there was one of several surges by the crowd and a kid next to me lost his balance. He grabbed hold of my coat to stop from falling over and rippled the lapel right off! As I walked off the pitch on the other side of a ground I heard someone calling my name. There in the crowd was a guy I worked with who turned out to be an Orient supporter and though it hilarious to see a work chum walking off the pitch with the players! It was certainly an interesting evening!

I was pressed up against the wall and popped out like a piece of soap landing right in front of a WPC. She tried to get me back into the crowd but I said there is no way I’m going back in there just as the wall collapsed. It is a miracle that no one was seriously hurt. The whistle then blew and I walked off the pitch with the players and left from the opposite side of the ground.

The sleeves were amazing. I have never seen anyway role them up so tightly and so far up the biceps. The opposition centre forward knew this guy meant business before a ball was kicked.

I can’t see us selling Vestergaard this summer. He is currently one of the main stays of the team so why ship him out early?

I wonder what all of the conspiracy theorists think of him now? Looks like a quality signing to me.

My joint MotM today along with Salisu.

Doesn’t say much for his opinion of Ramsey then!

Isn’t this what we do?

We weren't having these conversations when we were sitting at the top of the table with the same players and manager. We have been through the worse period of injuries I have known at the club and have been on the receiving end of a number of appalling decisions which, on occasions, have probably cost us points. We have an average team who need everything to fall into place on a regular basis to get results but have proved to be a match for anyone when we get it right. We are within sniffing distance of a trip to Wembley and there is no reason why we can’t finish in mid table. JWP is a perfectly good captain. We need to hold our nerve, keep working hard and things will improve again.

But we did it against Liverpool and against City last year?

Playing at the intensity we need to for 95 minutes has taken its toll. We can’t do it twice a week with the squad we have. Still, I’d take the cup win over 3 points today all day long.

He seems like an intuitive player and it seems to inhibit him playing to a plan.

Indeed. It’s not like we have anything to play for in the league whereas we have an opportunity to get to a cup final. Fortunately Ralph seems to be taking the cup seriously so hopefully will be putting a strong side out.

It’s a BBC show isn’t it? Anyway, on the subject of funny American comedies, Frasier was excellent as was MASH and Cheers was very good.

I must be an American because I find nothing to laugh at in Mrs Brown’s Boys.

So does this mean that Gao bumped the price up by £50m or that DaGrosa has knocked £50m off the original asking price?

Your okay if you don’t have an armband wrapped around your gonads.

My thoughts too. Moussa plays like Bambi on ice at the best of times!

Bill Shankly called it many years ago. If you can’t support us when we lose or draw, don’t support us when we win. We have had a bad week and haven’t been great this year so far, but most of 2020 was excellent. We were always likely to run out of gas and the injury list has taken its toll, but we know what this team and manager can do and things will pick up.

United showed us how to take apart 9 men. As others have said o am more angry at this result than the United performance. We gifted them 3 goals and looked less likely to score on the last 20 than we did when they had 11 on the pitch. Once again clueless how to break down a packed defence. The sodden pitch didn’t help our playing style but that is no excuse. We badly miss KWP and Stu. Really angry tonight.

If only there was a vaccine against pedantry 😉

Doesn’t change what happened in the match does it?

My understanding was that he wanted to move on to play football not that he should replace those players. The B team don’t play that many games and he wants to progress. I don’t see a problem with that. Also who’s to say that we would have been hammered if he hadn’t got sent off. Should we blame Bednarek for the last 3 goals for his sending off?

Perhaps we have forgotten that Kat got rid of Cortese, sorted out the financial mess he left behind and was at the helm in some of our best seasons. I really don’t think that she would have sold to Gao if she had thought he would be bad for the club but people always need someone to blame. If she was so desolate to jump ship why keep an interest in the club?
