I would have been happy to have kept Puel and Redmond is probably my favourite player, so I'm in the minority on most things on here. Gabbi showed a few things the other night that made me feel if he got the right service could make him brilliant for us. I like Austin but boy is he greedy, and so slow, but saying that he does hit the target when he gets a chance. If we hadn't won at Swansea the love of Austin would have diminished somewhat as he failed to put away his chances.

well he set up Long beautifully the other night. It seems you believe in stats, personally leave it to judgement. Id love o see such stats to an ex player called Ted McDougall. I doubt he touched the ball a few teams in games, but when he got the chance he buried it

I was amazed that they didn't put Dyer on,as he would have kept one of our full backs busy, and they would not have bee able to bomb forward.Add to that he would run at our defenders,something they don't like

Lol Vardy is less so what do those figures really tell???

I wonder if the Mrriot will ever make a statement bout this. I'm sure it has harmed them in a big way. Clubs may wonder if any Marriot hotel could do it to the if in the same situation. I expect that whoever thought it up would be in the mire. As for Swansea FC they have said nothing I assume about the way the coach was held up etc

The Stoke forum is no different to this. The Puel stuff was ridiculous, and a lot hate Poch and Koeman in a similar way. That is social media for you

In the past with Stoke I assume. No it would be the one night

we don't need any fancy dan players. Surely we have learnt our lesson. Lets get good solid footballers who care, rather that the Boufals of the world

Surprising,

I didn't hear until late last night that the Police escort didn't turn up, but also is it correct that the coach wasn't allowed ner the ground until Swansea arrived. MH got off the coach and got the players to walk to the ground????? ALso is it also correct that he said something about that he was pleased that Marriot cancelled, as he thought it was a grubby hotel lol

Great to not notice the ref last night, shows that he had a great game. He is without a doubt the best ref in the PL. Very calm, and although I was a tad concerned when I was told his wife was a Pompey fan, he was fair and decisive He was 100% correct in the CL semi final and that took great courage,.

If Swansea go down the Marriott will lose a lot of business, hence I suspect it may have been a decision from the top.

Lol of course Motd got it wrong, the other night y. ou had downloaded the incident and the ball was no further forward. Your pro ref stance is tiresome. He got it wrong and that cost us, yes the players were at fault as well but the ref influenced the final result by incompetance

don't bother, you are only here as now you are basically safe.

Fergie time

Their crowd will make a massive difference. We need to be strong mentally, and that has been a problem all season

wheres Whitey he swore last night that he had rewatched it and the ball was right where it should have been. Motd must be wrong with their technology , showing how far forward it was taken, even though it wasn't a freekick. A ref is never wrong in his opinion

I don't think we are confused, but everything seems to be contriving against us. Its hard to have appositive attitude as so many things go against us

the last minute goal yesterday just gave Hudders a lift for this game. Pressure was reduced

the 50-50 decisions going Hudds way. City don't look too bothered

obviously it would be better to have had 2 extra points, but we are where we are and have to get on with it

Don't blame you, Whitey has an ear for officialdom

Whitey has looked up his law book and it seems I was correct that there is an amnesty and so Romeu will play

If we had of won we may have been in the position of stick or twist. We now know we have to win
