Surely you need to look at what we did wrong before you can consider how to put it right next time. I'm sorry it's not good enough for you and other government supporters to repeat the let's not apportion blame, let's move on agenda. Sure it's uncomfortable for those shown to be incompetent, self s...

I really do not get this facination with Sweden. Why not compare with other Scandinavian countries - all of which did lock down and all of which had far lower per capita rates of COVID mortality than Sweden - e.g Norway = 242 deaths per million population, Denmark = 558 deaths per million, Finland ...

Birmingham 4th in the league above us, so will be a good test for the ladies.
The league looks like a 2 horse race between us and Newcastle. Could all come down to our home match with them.

There's none so blind as those who will not see.

Then there's those that only see what they WANT to see.

I thought it was accepted now that had we locked down a week earlier, countless lives would have been saved? I also thought it was common knowledge that moving vulnerable old people into care homes from hospital without testing was a huge mistake. You just don't get it. Even accepting that the comm...

I'd hate to cause a thread to close, but it has absolutely everything to do with politics.
Enough said.

The way City have ****** about you could see that coming a mile off. They deserve it as well.

Colburn_Claret

City have regressed 2 years. They are back to trying to walk the ball into the net. It's ****, just as when Arsenal used to do it.

Not a new player for January, but just signed baseballs record breaking contract. £557 million for a 10 year contract. He's 29 so I presume Baseball players have a longer shelf life.
The other strange fact, as a British fan, is he's moved across LA, from the Angels to the Dodgers.

While I get there’s some bad apples in there, Ten Hag has spent c. £250m on Antony, Onana, Mount and Hojlund and none of them look anywhere near. No one will look good until they start playing for each other and the team. It's why they were a better team last season with Weghorst, because Wout put ...

I didn't say he was the problem, only that I hope he wastes as much money as possible before he gets the bullet. God, I hate United. It wasn't meant as a dig at you, rather the pundits and media who fail to see that their mates, the players, are the problem. They've undermined the last 4 or 5 manag...

As I've said before, let's hope they don't sack Ten Hag til he's pushed a few more hundred million down the khazi. Ten Haag isn't the problem, it's the dressing room. It has been the problem for years. He probably will get the sack, but if I owned utd I'd tell him to sell whoever he wants and clear...

Dropped plenty of points we didn't deserve to this season, we finally get a point against the run of play.
Fingers crossed it shows our luck is about to turn.

Palace are crap, and still beat us.
West Ham were crap and still beat us........

Roy shouldn't have come back, but you can't deny his love of the game, and he only came back to dig Palace out of a hole.
I'd say Palace fans were fickle, but so are the majority of supporters, including ours.

Far too stubborn. Sticking with this passing out system when we haven’t got the quality of player to do it in the PL. The only chances created by it are for the opposition.

Luton are nowhere near our level.
What they do have is a team of battlers, that give everything and never give up.
If we had half their fight we'd be midtable.
Good luck to them I say, if it keeps them up they deserve it.
If we go down we'll have deserved it.

Tonight showed we still haven't learnt anything, forget Saturday. Wolves were there for the taking and we let ourselves down again.
Please Vincent, start looking in the mirror and question yourself.
More of the same, is only going to lead to more wasted opportunities.

Got to wonder what vk is saying to these players, and question his substitutions. Another game we should have been away in the distance, shoot ourselves in the foot just before half time, no response from us. Why can't he get us to up it? Why can't he see it isn't working and do something pro active...

We always have a nervous 40-45 mi n wobble, and a nervous 85-90 min wobble. I still say it's lack of ********, and we really have to pack it in.

Sometimes it really hurts to be a football fan.

I've felt low this last 6 weeks, but it's nothing compared to what they must be suffering.
I can't help but have post match sympathy for fellow fans, and watching other teams vlogs shows there are an awful lot of 'good' fans out there.

Took his goal so well, as did Brownhill.
The confidence of leading....?
Both placed the ball into the corner, rather than smashing them into Row Z.
I hope it's something the team can pick up on, sometimes you can try too hard.

The hiring of Kompany was always with a long term plan. To tear that plan up now, would cause the club a lot of long term damage. The budget we have used to collect this squad isn't looking redeemable, at present. There is no argument from me that VK has made mistakes, it should have been expected w...

Can anyone recommend a reliable gas safe engineer who can repair/service a Vaillant (ecotech plus 831) gas central heating Combi boiler? Mine refuses to start and is showing an F28 error code (Ignition unsuccessful).

Vaillant come with a 5 year warranty, does yours not fall inside this ?

Effort is always there, but lack of bottle and composure really hurting us. Another game we should have won, another game we got what we deserved.

Part of the issue of playing out from the back seems to be that he's trying to emulate Guardiola, but without the players. An experienced No 2 might help greatly and offer more advice. We are lacking experience badly and it's costing us, not just in the playing staff. Everybody tries to play out fr...

Battered by a team without a win all season, following the last 2 games, says everything about this team. It's hopeless. We do have good players, but we have a crap team.

All I can see is more tinkering. No Foster is really disappointing, but obviously one of those things, but this team has a feel of hit and hope about it.
