Would be nice to see us have a bit of a go v Man United tomorrow. After early success against them, it'd be good to get back on track against them and go back to the fearless pressing from early season. We've walked out beaten too often against...

Jesus. Totally dreadful. Still somehow should have put Birmingham to the sword, but inexcusable in giving the game away like we did. I can only hope that it's because we've been working on tactics and shape for Tuesday. Also the worst piece of...

I suspect we've been sussed out whilst being our own worst enemies. Too pedestrian in possession, none of the zip and pace that made us a nightmare to deal with for so much of last season and the first 1/3 of this at home. Passing around pointlessly,...

Jack Payne to Blackburn. Well beneath him - should be somewhere mid-table a division above, but hey ho.

Kasey Palmer recalled by Chelsea. Considering his injuries and lack of game time, it's not a surprise but it is a damned shame. On the plus side, does it open up the door to a return for Izzy Brown? Rumours abound that Chelsea are going to recall him...

The thinness of the squad was exposed badly v Leicester. Worth remembering we've got a core of Premier League players and then the majority of the squad who are Championship players going beyond themselves. Could have been different if the Maguire in...

Got lucky yesterday. Well below par and Burnley should have had a penalty - the only reason I can think for him not giving it was that he perceived that Hendrick had dragged his leg to induce contact. I'd probably have given it. I'll certainly t...

I genuinely think the standard of refereeing is lower than it's ever been. I can count on one hand the number of times I've felt the officials haven't influenced the outcome of a match this season. Mr Atwell, for all his detractors, has be...

Cracking game. Should have won. Missed so many chances. My main thoughts are that goalline technology works brilliantly, Stoke will be fine, we need to take chances (particularly when 6 yards out, Mr Mounié, and Mark Hughes is a know-nothing Welsh t...

Saying lucky not to go is an understatement. That he argued 3 matches was excessive is mind-blowing, though. Whilst there was less force than in the Tyrone Mings stamp last season, there was certainly more intent to cause harm and for that reason alone I&...

Austin should be off. Simple. A pre-meditated, cowardly, scummy attack on our goalkeeper leaving him down injured. Knew what he was doing. Kick straight to the face, looks like it's broken Lössl's nose. Disgraceful. That's not a ban....

If they can hang fire until after Boxing Day, that would be great.

We were owed some luck and got some with the first goal and penalty. Also got some horrendous luck as well in a clear example of things evening themselves out within a game - Hogg's sending off certainly wasn't, and it looks like Kachunga's...

Turns out we can still gegenpress. And in some style. How we didn't rattle in half-a-dozen against a Brighton side who we've obviously got a mental hold on at our place is a mystery (answered by the fact that despite gifting us the second goal,...

If we didn't get bad luck and decisions we'd get no luck at all. So frustrating.

Just for completeness' sake ahead of the inevitable grim defeat this afternoon, it's worth pointing out we actually played OK v Arsenal in midweek and were done by our own poor finishing and 3 minutes of complete madness. 3 minutes of madness a...

Gutted. Deserved more. Man City created nothing of their own and for all their possession didn't look like scoring. Until Mr Pawson gifted them a penalty for what was probably a foul but definitely outside the box (until a little rat threw himself in...

Thoughts on the Niasse decision? For me, slightly hard done to. Definitely exaggerated the contact, but Dann did step across him and there was contact blocking Niasse off. Not sure it's a penalty either, to be fair, and I can see why the FA concluded...

Wilson was offside. Not convinced it's a foul either, but then we can't expect that to go our way at the moment and I have more time for those errors than offside decisions - more human error/judgement. We played the offside trap perfectly. In...

2-0 to the referee, 4-0 to our own suicidal defending. And our inability to put a bloody decent ball into the penalty area when we have 3 6'3" plus strikers waiting in there. One decent ball and it's a goal. On the plus side, none of our p...

As I say that, Probert finally sends Francis off. After his mate the 4th official told him to. When he'd been looking straight at the obvious booking and decided that despite the fact he flew into VLP and got nowhere near the ball, that didn't q...

Mate, it's unbelievable. Every week. Kachunga has a good goal ruled out, costs us two points. Mounié nearly has his head taken off, not even a card never mind the straight red it should have been. Fer deliberately knees our keeper in the face...

Welcome back to the Premier League. Another week, another shit ref costing us. Haderjonaj fouled on halfway. No free-kick. Haderjonaj needs treatment. They play on (presumably exempt from actual fair play and sportsmanship, southern cunts) and win a corn...

What a win. All the more satisfying for beating Roger East as well as WBA. A more clueless, inept, one-eyed performance will not be seen anywhere in the country this season, aided and abetted by two chimpanzees running the line. One of the trained chimps...

Got what we deserved yesterday. Not enough ambition going forward, got punished. Anfield has the worst atmosphere I've ever been in, mind. 50,000 tourists sat on their hands and then leaving 10 minutes before the end after not making a peep. Don...

Chris Wilder is a Blade through and through, so won't leave Sheffield United, but why don't Everton go for someone like him? He's absolutely stormed the last 3-4 years.

But they are ex-Manchester United, which seems to be Everton's raison d'etre.

If you could defend like that on Saturday it would be great. I'll admit watching Match of the Day 2 and my eyes almost popping out of my head, it was that bad. Done by one ball so many times. And if Coutinho, Firminho and Salah could all announce t...

What a performance. What a day. People didn't give us a prayer, but we've gone and beaten Manchester United. And deservedly - we were better than them. (That's a sentence I never thought I'd get to write). We didn't play expansive...

First ban in English football for diving. For a lower league player. For something that very arguably wasn't a dive. While Premier League players get away with it. I honestly wish I was surprised.

Seen the Fer challenge from a reverse angle. My God, it's a shocker. Ref blind side, to be fair to him, but the FA has to take some action - it's at least a 6-match ban. Fer's watching Lössl for the best part of 10 yards. Lössl pi...

I can understand how a referee watching at full speed got it wrong. I can understand that after 2 minutes they don't want to show a player a red where there's doubt. But when you see it again, that assault by Fer on Lössl is one of the wors...

No urgency with getting back into the game. We're unlucky to be two down but haven't really bust a gut to get back into it. Not looked like scoring other than VLP's clip off the crossbar. Nothing going into the danger area. No incision in t...

As if playing against the referee was bad enough, we've just shot ourselves in the foot. Should be leading, but conceded a truly catastrophic goal through Lössl's individual error. Need to up it. Swansea are there for the taking.

Nah, we're not that bad. And only spent £4.3m on our central defenders combined To be fair, we didn't play badly. Just got overawed. We had a go and came up short - better to have a go trying to win than just sit back waiting to get b...

Pleased that we have done. I don't want to see us diving. We're better than that, and VLP needs to learn. I agree with Sean Dyche's assessment wholeheartedly. Now we can move on. Ref got it spot on, deserves praise for having the balls to...

I'm inordinately pleased to see that Forest Green are seriously struggling. I normally like seeing different sides get in and do well in the League, but they're an obnoxious lot.

Agreed on the Ritchie point. Personal view, thought he was slightly unlucky to be booked. It's the excessive force thing. Ritchie stretches to bring a ball down at height - Mané sprints into the challenge. Angles and momentum matter. As for...

Does he still sign 4 million midfielders only to not settle on a regular pairing? Thinking about his midfield signings for us, he made a fair few (some of whom were quite good, to be fair.) Antony Kay, Danny Drinkwater, Scott Arfield, Joey Gudjonsen, Dam...

Good point yesterday. Should have been more, but then they had their chances at the start and at the end. Nathan Redmond reminds me of Lego - goes to bits in the box, like a latter-day Paul Devlin (that's one for the kids). Any point is a good point....

Williams is only 17 - I'm surprised he went to League One. Definitely a player in there - and a very good one - but whether League One's a bit high for him just now I'm not sure. Looked assured against Rotherham, but that was only 90 minute...

Other than the fact that Shelvey gave Kachunga a good push in the back - Kachunga made the most of it, but he was entitled to go down. Palmer on Mbemba - seen them given. Nothing like as clear-cut wrong as the penalty that day, or the penalty you got at...

Made hard work of that. Rode our luck (Rotherham should have had a stick-on penalty when Whitehead did some wrestling and got away with it, and they missed a succession of chances I'd have buried on my wrong foot with my eyes closed). Hey ho, through...

No, you're not bad defensively. You switched off and were punished by a quality bit of play. There's a difference between being poor defensively and a momentary loss of concentration. Neither are we poor going forward - you sat so deep that the...

I have to say standardised pitches are bollocks. One of the great beauties of the game has always been that you could shift the dimensions of your home patch to suit your own style of play. Stoke, for example, having a narrow pitch when Rory Delap was fli...
