Bearing in mind there's only 13 games left, it doesn't bode well for him to be featuring in many. If I was a typically morose Brummie, I'd pick 1 appearance in the "How many more" sweepstake. It'll be the last 5 minutes of the last game. And he'll be clapping and waving a lot at all four sides of the ground.

FFS, Elmohamady.

The worst part of that is you could see it from literally the first minute of the game. They were all over us straight away. Better movement, drive, passing, the lot. As I said in the match thread, I'm only amazed it took them so long to break through as they'd been pulling us all over the place from the off. We were half a yard behind everything from the first whistle.

Remember when Ned Flanders and Homer went to Vegas, got hammered, married hookers and then woke up? Our honeymoon period with Smith is shorter than theirs.

Surprised it took them that long, TBH.

I want Mings to Mings Maupay.

You're happy Useless came on? It doesn't matter who he came on for.

For El Ghazi. Useless came of for Albert.

**** off, Elmo. Unless Albert has just gone down with the symptoms of acute malaria he shouldn't have come off for you. Even then it should have been Green instead of you. Just **** off, word removed.

That's enough of that shite. Imma find something else to do.

Crissakes, get Kodjia off.

Well his head definitely went back and to the left.

And, as mentioned already but can't be repeated too often or emphasised too much, neither did his Reading teammates. He might have done it deliberately but when was the last time your saw someone get deliberately stamped on and the players didn't see it and instantly form a lynch mob heading towards the perp?

Ever seen some grub in a supermarket drop a bottle of cider between the tills and the exit and when it smashes try to go and get their money back? That's you, that is, Cardiff.

On a more serious note, when all the defenders are back and fit and so is Jack, I suggest we play Tyrone in a Fellaini-type role quite close to Jack. He won't add that much as an attacker but I think it very likely the foul quotient against Jack will drop to virtually nothing with the Dark Avenger (no racist, Twitter) body-guarding him, sticking close like a malevolent black shadow (even more no racist, Twitter and Facebook.)

I'm not remotely upset. I'm just snorting with scornful derision at the latest explosion of faux, self-righteous outrage by virtue signalling, emotionally incontinent arsewipe mongtards getting their pink panties in a bunch around their sandy vagis. No, I just sneer at them and mock them for being the worthless skin-thieves they are.

Well he was literally talking about himself of forty years ago. I believed in Santa Claus and that the police are there to help you forty years ago.

Personally I think we should let Liam Neeson deal with the vicious thug. If the latest bedwetting, hysterical, ignore-all-context-but-explode-with-justice-and-vengeance-rage Twitterstorm is anything to go by, that appalling, unreformed, dyed in the wool racist would love to cosh the living shite out of him just for being not white.

Personally I don't understand this notion at all. I don't give a **** about Jack Grealish the man and I don't give a **** about Jack Grealish the player. I only care about Jack Grealish the Aston Villa Player. And I don't think being paid tens of thousands a week playing for your hometown own team constitutes a ruined career, however long he does it. There are a finite and very small number of "honours" to be won and a finite number of "big games" to play in. I'd suggest statistically the vast majority of players, however good they are, win nothing in their career. We can't let misplaced sentiment affect our employment of a prime asset for as long as we can. If that means him still being here in three years trying to get us out of the Championship into the PL, so be it. I'm comfortable with the former even if I'll be most irked by the latter.

Ted Bundy was renowned as a charming mo-fo and one, maybe two, Brexit voters are able to hide they are baying, Tommy Robinson-supporting, racist, fascist, gammon filth when talking to the local vicar. Just goes to show how people can hide their deep-seated, hard-coded inner Mingsitudinalility. The bastards.

When I was watching it live there seemed little in it until Mings indicated to the sideline and ref there was some urgency in getting medics on. Obviously, slo-mo can tell a very different story - and I haven't watched it - but I saw what the ref saw. Nothing untoward. Tellingly, if it was deliberate, there was remarkably little furore kicked up by his teammates for such a heinous assault bearing in mind that players see any fouls from pretty close quarters.

Yeah, he'd have cemented his reputation as a complete badass if he'd licked it off whilst grinning malevolently and muh har harring his way back to his position.
