He was magnificent at Villa but then the surgery came and to be honest he’s offered precious little in the few games since he came back.

I know it's about opinions, but surely a mistake from a previous game should not be carried forward to affect the player ratings for this match.

No one said it did

I’m afraid it’s not good news. Taffy has taken a turn for the worse. I have no further details but it’s not the news I wanted to hear.

But really one sided and we could have won by a much bigger score.

Sorry no updates from me. Must be the only ground in the country where I can’t get a signal.

First of all, lots of people who seem to can't wait to give Muric a 3. Bit sad IMO. What do you want people to give him? You gave him 5 which is below average. I believe a goalkeeper who for a second successive week has potentially cost us points with a catastrophic error cannot be rated at below a...

Found his introduction bizarre. He's not been deemed to warrant any game time since Luton at home, and no significant game time this year. Benson has had a couple of cameos recently and showed a threat against Wolves. He's also got the sort of whippy, dipping shot that's well suited to slippery, wi...

Well having seen it from 20 different angles on the screens at halftime, and again on MoTD, I have to say Bellamy is wrong.

And likewise, having seen it on MOTD, I also have to say that Bellamy is wrong.

Thought this was going to be about the Odobert penalty call today?

Not watched that back but it looked a pen to me live. Assuming it wasn’t given lack of discussion on it…

Bellamy said it wasn't a pen

Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing years ago I don't think he was cleared - more that the case couldn't be proven. I know Jay well and was shocked at the time thinking he just couldn't do that and I had a massive row with Andy Naylor (then Brighton Argus and now Athletic) who was branding him ...

That's true but why does the club pay the agents fee? Surely the player ought to pay the fee, after all the agent is working on the players behalf. And for the life in me I've never understood why clubs need an agent! Why doesn't the club employ a negotiator/lawyer to do the negotiating on their be...

I understand that CT, but the practice should be outlawed IMO. But then I’m an ideologist and I know it would never happen

Clubs ripped off players for years - so they got agents to look after their interests

It’s about time this was stopped. Players should pay their own agents out of their massive salaries and clubs should not be permitted to be affiliated with any of the parasites

Clubs also use agents to work for them on deals

Earlier this season, Michael Duff, when still manager at Swansea, said that Leicester were a much better side than we were last season. At the time, the points they'd won from the games they'd played suggested they would get beyond our 101, at one point even 120 looked likely. But this Leicester tea...

I think so. Keane got dropped for Duff in that first season, who I'd say was probably about 35 or 36. I don't think Esteve would ever have had that problem. Tarkowski was sat on thr bench as well waiting for Keane to leave. But when he did play he looked pretty ropey. Keane had to wait a while for ...

Hell of a talent. A lot better than Keane and Tarkowski were when they first came to the Premier League and I guess he's younger too.

Really?

On ages, yes younger than Tarky but just about the same age as Keane was when we signed him.

We might have agreed a deal, but nothing can be completed outside of a transfer window.
