Morrison on for Varane - no idea why Marti didn't start him, as at least he's ours!
In other news, Colback trying his luck from 50 yards with their keeper in no man's land is probably the pinnacle of our game today! |

The only surprise is it's your 'first time'!
In other news, Colback picks up his usual brainless card for unncessarily dragging their man down on the half-way line when he had cover in Edwards.
Pathetic! |

Little spurt betwene the two centre backs, round the keeper, and an easy 3-0.
Somehow we're making Stoke look like f*cking Paris St Germain!
Stoke!
I can only presume the entire club's plan is relegation to cut costs! [Post edited 29 Mar 16:17]

And still this evidence-free bilge goes on about poor Marti having to manage with a squad that he's had no say in! I'd tell you to get a grip, but clearly you're past saving! |

Not reactionary - we're fans! It's our job to react!
We have 3/4 important starters out, sure, but also one or two back, like Dembele and Colback. The excuses only go so far. After all Marti's stress on being aggressive and physically competitive pre-match, he should be as embarrassed as the players! (Though I;m sure the usual suspects will try to tell me pre-match interviews are as worthless as the post-match ones, and it's my fault for listening!) |

The manager needs to finally accept some criticism for his cheerleaders here. Setting up with Dembele up top is idiotic, as is playing Andersen anywhere. Defensively, we're a shambles, even though Cook is the only one missing, and we've managed perfectly well when he was injured before this. Finally, could anyone tell me what/where are our tactics (apart from to give up the ball as often as possible, invite them onto us, then let them play through us)?
It's a sh*tshow, folks! [Post edited 29 Mar 15:55]

We're missing 3/4 important starters, which hurts us, but hardly makes this a reserve team. Anyway, that's 2-0 and likely game over.
Wonder how much Marti still trusts his plaay-ers! I know I don't! [Post edited 29 Mar 15:48]

Andersen's pathetic jog was just as bad - it's not all on Paal! We're getting carved open all over the park by relegation fodder, we can't keep it, and we can't create with it. (What exactly can we do again?) |

Looks like all the good work we'd been doing up to a month or two ago is now being completely undone. It's on the team and on Marti - obviously! A fortnight to prepare, and this? Seriously! From (outside but possible) playoff contenders to strong relegation possibles in the space of, what, 10 games? Injuries, I get it, and today's team takes barrel-scraping to a level of scrapiness previously unseen, but despite what the manager insists to the contrary lacks mettle, application, and bottle. That said, Andersen 'policing' the left, Dembele as false/fake 9, and literally no one to create anything tells its own sorry story. [Post edited 29 Mar 15:33]

A textbook example of (either wilful or ignorant) misreading. I said 'bitterly/corrosively honest'. To break it down for you, that's two adverbs plus an adjective. The adverb modifies the adjective, which is 'honest'. Does that help you with my actual meaning? |

so if you're poor(ish), you should just give up?
Try telling that to Leicester when they won the Prem! Or Luton, post-promotion! Or us in '76/82 86! |

Pathetic caricature of what I actually said to serve your own woke agenda. Grow the f*ck up, then come back to me when you're an adult in the room! |
