[Robinho's Subbuteo]

I'm not paid hundreds of thousands to miss penalties. At least I'd score.

To be honest, I don't think any of our players are paid to 'miss' penalties. Just sayin'.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Crying out for Foden.

Absolutely, terrible game management from Pep today. Players looked fucked all game and had little left in the tank at the end, so yes Foden and Sterling and a good case for Gundogan to come on and freshen it up never materialised. Only Pep knows the reasoning behind it though

 

[Alan Ladd]

I still want to see the VAR lines for Bowens first goal

Laporte kept Bowen onside and Zinchenco failed to follow him for both West Ham’s goals.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

On the whole I agree but I thought Grealish was ok, at least he was trying to be enterprising.

Dilithium crystals do have effect

A month or six weeks ago, being honest, I thought we would drop more than 2 points in the league and would lose it.
I firmly believe we will beat Villa now though and see this through.

If we do, I think this will be one of our best achievements yet, given the obvious deficiencies of our squad. To win it this season without a striker again and with so many injuries and an ageing Fern as our utility go to man, would be remarkable.

But we have to learn and see that there is so many areas we need to improve on.
Haaland will be huge (sic). I think he will occupy defences so much that he won’t just score for us, but will open up space for Jack and Phil and Bernie or whoever will be up front with him.
Personally, I’d like to see Kev play further forward, closer to him, as I think he would score for fun.
We need another midfielder to cover the hole Fern and Gundogan are going to leave.

And we have to cut down on letting in soft goals. Our stats are remarkable and yet when you look at the type of goals we concede when we do concede, we usually have contributed to our own downfall.
Hopefully Walker has a few years in him without slowing down, but overall we need more speed in our defence and midfield.

The future is bright. The future is blue. Just get this summer right.
And hopefully blood a couple more youngsters.

You seem to be putting words in my mouth pal

Read your post fella. Crikey.

 

[avoidconfusion]

If Pep does this again in our last game we will piss away the League. Underestimate Villa at your own peril.

 

[woodleyberksblue]

Didn't we win a League Cup against the dippers on pens or did I dream it ;-)

& Chelsea

 

[lazerblue]

we can't play fern at the back next week, fantastic as he has been for us his legs have gone now

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

For a professional on that kind of miney his penalty taking is woeful... look at Kanes confidence v Mahrez...why persist...surely KDB should take them all from now on.

Kev's record is just as bad.

This Kane fella sounds good, we should try and sign him.

 

[David Silva]

Read your post fella. Crikey.

Just pointed out a fact mate

 

[oakiecokie]

I must admit that at half time I was enraged that we could concede so easily, yet have so much of the play without really giving the Hammers defence too many problems.
Apologies to those BM`s who I upset at half time but I was so disappointed with some woeful performances that I just imploded.
Fast forward to the second half and by fuck Pep must have given them a right bollocking at half time.
We were a lot better and so unlucky not to get the three points and as much as I slagged FFS off, he was not the only one who could have won it for us.
Can we really expect the Saints to beat the Dippers ?? Sorry not for me so FFS City lets give that Scouse cockwomble Gerrard a fucking real bloody nose next Sunday.

 

[Tolmie scores]

We have done well to get as far as we have this year with no centre forward and no goalie. Tin hat time.

Agreed i dont like slatung players. Eddie, i love his attitude and that he tries but he is an outfield player who wasn't good enough in portugal and went in nets..begrudgingly..amazing attitude to start so late and play in nets for a top top sude. BUT..he is simply not goid enough..Bowens goal was excellent but i had no doubts he would round eddie. Just glad eddie didnt throw himself at biwen and got sent off. A year ago ...wolves like..that would have been the outcome. Steffan is not good enough either lets be honest..please Pep / team.. address this obvious weakness

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

To be fair it was a good save, but we should have had another one in the first half. We did well considering most of our defenders were out or half-fit, we know the clinical finishing story only too well. At half-time our superior goal difference looked shot and it would have been out of our hands if Liverpool win on Tuesday, but now we just have to beat Villa. The lads have a full week to recover, nobody to blame but ourselves if we don’t see this through.

 

[HolisticJim]

I couldn't bear to watch it. First time I've been like that for a good while. Was a horrible match.

Praying we just win on the last day. Really can't take it.

 

[Damanino]

Ings could have scored 2 easily vs Pool the other week. he fucked the chances up but he was going for it. him against Fernandinho is as bad idea as it gets....
not mentioning the speed of Watkins.

 

[Frankie lad]

Big time i‘d have settled for that after 45.
Huge injury problems at the back against a decent side away at a noisy stadium to not lose was a result.
Would have liked to have seen four fresh legs on going forward with ten to play but thank goodness we didn’t lose.
Come on you blue beauties.

 

[CPPSC]

Give yourself a check you knob.

Another one living up to his username

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

So... The PL got their 'Slippy G' final game.

The headlines write themselves.

The PiGMOL have played an absolute blinder over the season, and we haven't been able to kick on and beat their influence. Don't underestimate just how much pressure our team are under.

Such strength of character to come back from 2 down, and nearly won it. Immense pressure on that penalty.

All to do on Sunday. Villa have nothing to lose.

 

[Barcon]

There are a few people on here that are making cocks out of themselves every time they post.
I wish people would just ignore them so they'll fuck off.
