Those two dropped points against Wolves are really standing out now........ We'd be second.... and one goal behind city.....

We are the spawniest team in the League. That second half wasn't great. We've won a lot of games where we were second best - Chelsea, Brighton and others. And thats what winning teams need! I'm not complaining.

They're going to score in a minute... I hate radio commentaries.......

I think I have one of their albums on vinyl somwhere.

See, if my firm gets in a new boss, the idea is they encourage and get the most out of what they have. Only football managers come in and get £100m to spend as "not my players" is somehow acceptable in football, when it isn't anywhere else. The same players are playing worse than they were. The new players aren't playing well. It doesnt matter what the team is, they dont play well. Indivicually, we've all seen the likes of Watkins, Ings, Mings McGinn thrive and do well. I nfairness, there was plenty of effort, without much to show for it today. The one constant in this mess, is Gerrard. He's just not got the experience as a manager. Might have been great on the pitch, but if you cant speak, convey your ideas, get people to listen, or plan around the resource you have, then you don't have what it takes. I'd rather we'd such with Dean Smith. I don't think Gerrard will be with us as the end of the season. I just hope we stay up.

And we went for a chocolate starfish for a manager.

I just don't understand the idea that a great player has any particular foundation to be a good manager. I mean, Ron Saunders used to bang them in, but in the 3rd division for Portsmouth. Graham Taylor didn't have a playing career, from what I recall. Without being unkind, having the onfield vision to be in place as a defensive midfielder, to cover an opponent forward from receiving a long pass, is a different skillset a difficult conversation droppping your star striker, or persuading a player with several offers to sign for you.

I'm just amazed that a bomb goes off, and the cabbie is up and running out of his car like Usain Bolt. Shame the terrorist is uninsured and he won't get a replacement like for like credit hire car. But if someone had reversed into him as low low speed causing a trivial scuff in the paint, he'd have climbed out slowly, clutching his neck and moaning about whiplash.....

It would be best for football if he wasn't. Its the only way to slow down this massive player inflation. The club could have just given £200 to everyone who lives in Manchester - and thats a train ride across a city that takes ages - and in EVERY flat, in EVERY house, in Every school office shop Church and pub, everyone, man woman and child could have been £200 richer, for what the diving clearing in the woods with the shit hair cost them.

What a massive shame for the lad on his debut. *lol*

Thats why you start him. You male hen Southgate!

Almost every fan watching on telly, in the ground, and every pundit, on radio, tp or social media can see what Gareth Southgate can't. Now, either Southgates a genius, and we run out 4 - 0 winners having tired Scotland with these tedious tactics, or everyone else is right and we need a bit of flair, a bit of a man on the ball, drawing players, capturing spotkicks, creating room and distributing some incitful passing. Its ridculous.

It's all very well "praising" strikers for "running", "creating chances", "work" "effort", but frankly you could have a dog do all that for £5 of Pedigree Chum a week. At some point, you actually have to put the ball in the net, that's the job. If I was no good at my job, but got the coffee's in a lot, and was always on time, that wouldn't be enough. Most of Oli's goals have come when we didn't really need them. He doesn't create match winners in games that matter. Not good enough. Always a fraction of a second behind where he needs to be to create end product.

Bu in fairness, we are only a striker or three, anywhere in the squad who will ever score before the next ice age, from being a half decent team.

If this is what happens when you shame a player on social media, I'm logging on to call them all "words removed" right now!
