    Errrrr... probably because the abuse refers to his colour ... otherwise it is not 'rascist abuse' ... although it is still abuse <doh>

    Call him a **** then. No need to use his skin colour, that’s my point.

    It was.


    Why not just get the team to attack for the last two minutes, instead of throwing a young defender on?

    Just sets the tone for a backs to the wall last few minute's, which we inevitably **** up.

    Tuanzebe shouldn't have even been on the pitch.

    Out management and coaching are a shambles, they really are.

    Exactly, we never looked in danger and more importantly we are prone to conceding goals when we remove attacking options late-on and replace with additional defenders. Jose never learned from his mistakes here and Ole is exactly the same, he said we should have kept the ball in the corner flag, well you need attackers on the pitch to do that ffs.

    Now Axel, who probably wasn’t expecting to play, has been put in the firing line of internet Matthews and taking more abuse.

    Maguire will be saying stuff like “We need to do better than that” and our real captain Fernandes will be telling Ole he got it wrong.

    Think a I've said all season you'll finish 5th - 7th.. Sorry I know you think there's more in it than just an honest opinion but I just think come may it'll be man City Liverpool man united and Chelsea in the top spots. I also think Everton arsenal and Tottenham will potentially finish above Leicester

    Absolutely ... the opposition can't score if the ball is in their half of the field and you have possession... only time you might want another defender on at that stage is if the opposition bring on an Andy Carroll type last ditch and you need to counter that added aerial threat ...

    KDEN ... although Arsenal will be a bit of a stretch even now and I'd be more worried by West Ham.

    Good job we've fluked wins against Citeh, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal and drawn against United already this season ... otherwise I'd have sleepless nights about your predictions ... the one about everybody finding us out especially <whistle>

    Yes I agree Tottenham and arsenal look unlikely to.

    Hopefully nufc does you a favour next Monday, but unfortunately we've lost 3 crucial players and when you're a bottom end club that ends any chance of unlikely points

    Wowzers ... just seen that Harry Glass-Ankles is in the Spud starting line up ...

    This could end in tears, West Brom were already rather 'rugged' before Fat Sam arrived with his distinctive expansive brand of football ... expecting to see Harry doing some Red Arrows impersonations in the first 5 to 10 ...

    Thought he was meant to be out a lot longer than that. Definitely an easy win for Spuds.

    Seems risky lobbing Kane back in so soon.

    Don't think Maureen has got a plan B though, so ...

    Very risky for me ... pace and movement are key to unlocking that West Brom side ... setting Hazza up for a clogging ...

    He’s out there in a wheelchair but Mourinho definitely rates Vinicius.

    Wes Brom have Lee Peltier at full back ... he was with us for a season under Sven (I think) and wasn't that quick back then ... he's now 34 ffs... Son will have a field day ... yellow card all day long.

    There's no way Spurs will lose 4 games in a row.
