    Eh?

    2 points behind 5th place with a game in hand.

    How can you possibly write them off?

    They merely have to leapfrog three or more teams (most of which have a significant edge in goal differential) with seven matches remaining, then win two playoff rounds. The odds are...not spectacular.

    I’m not unfortunately. If I was I’d be out blowing a load of money on fun **** rather than sat here talking to you.

    I wasn’t actually joking about Pompey btw, I had to look to see what league they are in such is my interest in them. Good luck with the promotion push

    Would love to see a graph of the last 15 years with us and the skates on it, showing the league movements. When we start to slide, they become good, when they start to fade we come good. It would look rather amusing. In a twisted way........Our fates are linked. If we go down, I'm 100% sure they will gain promotion. If on the other hand......

    I think it's been going on for longer than 15 years and almost throughout our FL days


    When one is doing well the other is generally struggling. It's why we have relatively few fixtures between us compared to other big rivalries. Kind of adds to it for me too, if we played each other twice a season for years on end I don't think it would be quite as fierce.

    Well instead of saying how hopeless he is (BTW, he can´t be that bad otherwise Juventus would never have recruited him in the first place), it would be better to give constructive criticism and say what áreas of his game he needs to improve.

    I wondered what had happened to Singing Blue. When he was on this board last time I am pretty sure that this character had issues with their gender. Maybe the euphemism "safari" refers to something more drastic than a custodial sentence curtesy of Vladimir? Is there anyone who can enlighten us on this matter?

    Somewhat ironic that in song, he "never gives the ball away", but in reality he does, a lot.

    He's not really the problem though. He's trying to fit in to a mudfield that doesn't exist.

    As I said during the game. When Lemina is good, he’s very, very good, but when he’s bad, he’s horrid:

    Don't know if this was a slip of the keyboard, but 'mudfield' is a worryingly accurate term for at least four of our players, probably more.

    I actually spotted the typo, but decided to leave it as it seemed to sum us up <ok>

    I read an interview with Tadic, following the West Ham debacle, in which he gets some things right, but also explains why we have been so inept.
    He said that the performance was “shameful” and that we (the players) “need to grow some balls”. Yet, in another sentence he says “When you are 2-0 down, after 15 minutes, it is not possible to win.”
    There. In a nutshell, when things go against you, and you cannot repair the damage in the remaining 75+ minutes, just accept that you are going to lose.
    I would drop him just for making that comment. Bottler.

    Looking at the body language of most of the team, I would say they were all thinking much the same after the first goal went in. Instead of “bugger it, let’s get back up the other end and equalise”, it was more like “bugger it, here we go again, how long is it until the summer holidays?”

    There were exceptions, Højbjerg tried but was ineffective, and Austin tried but had no service, but there was no sense of team spirit whatsoever.
