the ref was rubbish...biased as hell. And when a team has to bring on as a replacement, a bloke out of position, and out of sorts (due to homesickness), the auguries are not good. Crab is no doubt a lovely bloke...but he's a crap footie player.

Got tbh and say I was true to my posts and didn't bother watching so can't comment on Oliver or anyone else. I stayed in touch with the score and at 0-0 well into the second half was about to switch on when I saw it was BT Sport -

I detest that channel with a real hatred so decided I wouldn't bother.

It's always worse when you watch, feel far less upset when you don't. Did far better than I ever expected so it really wasn't much of a downer at all for me.

May stay away from watching them while everyone is seemingly injured or just about to be, can do without the frustration as not enjoyable.

Totally agreed on BT - I watched most of it with the volume on mute, just for my own sanity and to save my TV from my fists when mcmanaman starts chatting wham.

Tbh Im not too down, considering who we had missing and who we were playing - we played ok in the main, and followed Carlos gameplan almost to the letter. The ref didn't help at all, but when they can bring on kdb, Mahrez and rodri what chance have you got? Like I say, we show the same commitment and effort until the end of the season and Europe is a real possibility.

Then we need to add 4 or 5 of similar quality this summer to digne, Godfrey, Keane, Mina, Allan, doucoure, James, DCL and Richy we will do more than ok - the club has to back ancelloti for next season otherwise what's the point?
 

We will sign more talented players in the summer, our squad will improve considerably and we will be equipped, barring injury crisis, to have more of a go at a team like that next season.

I've been doing the exact same thing for the last 3 years mate. I've gone from season ticket to what you did today. I then maybe watch match of the day if I can be bothered later.

Need to sort out the constant stream of injuries we suffer, not just in games but three players between the Thursday lunchtime presser and the game at Chelsea the following Monday.

How on earth do three men go down in a few days training? - they're not rugby tackling each other.
 

Nice to know btw that we still live rent free in the neighbour’s heads, almost every tweet on the Club’s account or as a whole is from them about us
 
Should never have played 2 up top imo should have put an extra player in the middle.

Probably still lost but we needed more bodies actually involved.

Gomes did OK for me looks like he's had a kick up the jacksy.

I’d like to think it was him turning a corner, but I think the reality is that was just the proverbial Portuguese stopped clock being right twice a day.
