Summarised in the studio after the game as ‘despite a 9-0 win, all we’re talking about is the decision making’. I think even they were stunned by some of them.

10 minutes ago I was frustrated that we didn’t go for the shut up shop approach, then went back and saw we had no one to do that, that’s why. Certainly gives some context.

We’re up against it at the moment with the gruelling schedule, hopefully we can catch a break soon and see Ralph back to his happy ways.

But the sooner Mike Dean retires the better.

Fairly sure he only made one debatable decision and had to give the red by the letter of the law, contact is contact. Blame the lawmakers innit.
 
"9 is a very important number, and its power is often attached to events to achieve an extreme outcome.

The number 9 relates to death and rebirth, acting as the gate of movement into a new state of being. It is purposeful regeneration of what has been purified and emboldened by the process of release. And, it is in this state of self-awareness, inner light and true wisdom that we are made ready to begin the work of returning to the place of beginning.

Numerology also gives us a a huge clue as to why Dark onto Light value this number so much: The number 9 is the number that carries us into the darkness so that we may find ourselves in the light. This is the number that decrees that change will occur whether it is welcomed with surrender or fought with all of our might. It is from the number nine that we test our strengths and refine our weaknesses as we cross the threshold of our own glory."
 
Absolutely gutted for Ralph. I watched his post match and he looks just devastated. For such an outstanding man manager to have record defeats not once but twice is just wrong. I'm really concerned for the squad now. By my reckoning we are now missing 11 players.

BTW I dont give a **** about the result.

Who the **** are we playing in defence on Saturday? We've now lost Jankewitz & Bednarek.

Agreed, but over the course of his time refereeing he’s been shocking, not just to us. I didn’t think anyone could rival Clattenburg for making an effort for the cameras, but he’s proven himself.

At least Clattenburg was good enough to back it up.
 
Indeed. Our path here has been wildly up and down, but it started in 2014.

I knew that when Cortese, Poch and our 'golden generation' all left within 6 months that the club had lost all ambition and we weren't going to be doing anything other than try to survive. Like you said, it's been up and down, but since 2016 it's been mostly down.

Its beyond belief now. I can't remember a similar scenario for any team, ever. I'm sure its happened but wow. We took 3 keepers to ManU FFS, we almost can't field a team now.
