[Outcast]

I keep saying guys, manage our expectations we are not going to win anything this season, the writing is on the wall, do as I ask and avoid total disappointment we cannot win the league every year and Pep fucks up in the cups so enjoy what we have, reset next season

I can live with that as long as we address those issues next season. Get rid of players don't want to be here and revamp the midfield.

At the moment we’ll be losing Gundo and Bern at the end of the season. KDB is another year older. Foden has his new contract and isn’t interested now - I didn’t think the comparisons to Gascogne would turn out to be true.

Dare I say it - Grealish and Mahrez the only ones giving 100% at the moment.

Thought Grealish did ok today, caused them problems drew fouls even the bent ref had to give, would like to see a Pacy winger in addition to LB and Bernardo replacement

I’d take Felix the fucking cat for Foden at the moment

The thing is it seems we are putting all of our eggs into Bellendgham's basket.
I think we need at least two world class mid and maybe a new defensive fella. And of course a fucking left back.

However, I think is not over yet.
Thursday is a must win game. We often fuck up at home with Spuds. Sort it, win and then win both games with arse and it's game on.
Odd that so many players are either injured or out of form.

We did.
It's normal, we are close to ending a cycle.

But also players want to join Barcelona because they have their brain in their balls.

Think it’s bad well cheer up look at RAWK not very happy these dippers - :

Today was the culmination of failures at every level of the club for the past 7-8 months. We have failed to build on a squad that nearly won it all. We've taken calculated gambles, but whats worse, failed to react when it was obvious those gambles had failed. We have had 6 months to try and rectify this and all we get is bs rumours about Bellingham.

Like I said at HT, this was worse than Brentford because this was a team who beat us at football, the type of football we prefer to come up against so we can let our superior quality show.

3 nil was probably about right and showed the gulf in quality in the teams, inversely proportional to the cost of the squads.

Even if every injured player returned tomorrow we would not turn back into the side from last season.

Alarming that Jurgen didn't see this performance coming as we all did.

Games against Rags and scouse2 are often contentious, however all is not lost. The Derby is important no doubt, but now we need to take points off our other challengers, starting on Thursday with Spuds.

Today's incidents are a disaster for the game , for the PL . OK , we were cheated, but everybody around the world can see that there is something going on in the PL. How a Referee can allow this to happen is disgraceful to say the least. A clear penalty on Haarland, some daft ex Irish pro on the Sky stream i had said that was Haarland kicking Casemiro ffs , he was in control of the ball , set it up and was shooting at goal - clear infringement from Casemiro.

Actually, i remain convinced , we will still win the league, mainly because the competition isn't good enough.

Once we went ahead, i am surprised Pep didn't bring on Alvarez for Mahrez and Gündo for Cancelo, because Cancelo was average again even failing to play to
Foden and losing the ball himself or making bad passes .

[salford city]

Wow just got back in. They are / were piss-poor. Cannot believe we lost that

[Beefymcfc]

Did Pep cheekily call out the Rags getting preferential treatment?

[charvet_wonderland]

We have never seen a goal like that before and we will never see another goal like that again. Everybody knows it shouldn’t have been given. Anyway 3 points to the scum and on we go. Wait for it to be evened out with a scandalous decision in our favour soon…

Er, don't forget when VAR called the players back on to the field after the ref had blown the final whistle for the Rags to take a penalty

At Brighton I saw that disgrace

Pep said he’s not arsed about the league anyway because he’s won it a fuck loads of times. He said it was offside.

Keith Hackett has confirmed it was offside.

Dermot Gallagher has said it was offside.

Ten Vage has said it was offside and he’d be pissed off if we’d scored that goal and it be allowed to stand.

Akanji has said it was a joke of a decision.

Yep, lots , Pep said he was taking orders from the lads in the showers for the pizzas to eat on the Bus going back to the Campus.
