To quote a post on twitter...

 

18 English players featured in the Newcastle vs Luton Game, 12 in Everton vs Tottenham, 10 in Brighton vs Crystal Palace, 5 in Burnley vs Fulham and 12 in Sheffield United vs Aston Villa yet Gareth Southgate travelled to watch Jordan Henderson play for Ajax. Pathetic.

This needs to be shared far and wide, absolutely incredible.  He needs to be presented with those figures and asked for comment.

Rogers is shit.

Penalty 100%.  VAR has a quick look and moves on…..

The VAR check has taken the momentum away. 

Get Karius on to throw one into his own net. 

The ref is shit but no more so than usual.  He isn’t the reason we are losing this. 

We are hanging on a bit...

This ref is a steroid taking word removed.  That was clearly a head injury.

Did anyone truly celebrate?  I know I didn't.  VAR sucks.

I like that team.  I might go and watch traitors if we are getting whopped at half time mind.

Pretty sure he grew up as a bluenose

 It is also Alan Smith who grew up supporting Aston Villa, having been born just eight miles from Birmingham. 

A quick google confirms what I thought I knew.  As I said, he tries a bit too hard to compensate during his commentary.

Oh **** off Alan Smith.

You know Smith is a Villa fan?  His problem is he tries too hard to overcompensate.

There's no way he was in the line of sight though!

Agree, but why check every angle to that point.   If the first phase was off why not give it straight away.  So frustrating. 

What a joke.  I reckon that’s given against Lenglet for being in line of sight, absolute spankers.  

Bloody hell, I didn't realise Emery was current manager of the month.  Well that's that then-certain defeat!

This commentator is going to disappear up Cole Palmer's arse in a minute.  Stop fawning fgs.

"This guy has shown next to nothing yet to suggest we should sign him permanently-runs into blind alley after blind alley and his shooting is little better than that of Tonev.  People are talking about how great his strike against Boro was that actually missed the target." = Bitching. No where in that post did you put a question out there as to what others thought. It was a moan, plain and simple. 

For a start comparing him to Tonev is crazy and lazy. Glad he's got your support though for as long as your willing to give it or until Unai ships him out. 

He will get my support, as will all the others who wear the shirt.  We are allowed different views and moans but I accept that the Tonev comment is a low blow and for that I apologise!

No mate. You said you couldn't understand why people were praising that specific bit of play. I explained why they were. Don't twist it.

I'm not 6 years old, I don't estimate a player's potential from one move. I'm estimating it from everything I've seen of him.

Fair enough.  Let's hope he proves me wrong.

You just come on here to bitch or have you got anything worth saying?  

If you bother to read my first post about him you will see I've put -  "However, I have absolute faith that Emery will either make him come good or ship him out and he should get our support as long as he's at the club."

He will get my support.  But I don't rate him at the moment, and I'm hardly bitching.  I'm interested to know what other people see in him.

How many others created something out of nothing (for themselves) and then almost found the net VS Middlesbrough?

You think he's going to be great because he created a chance for himself against Middlesbrough but nobody else did?  Ok.

Postmaster, docu/program is a good watch. Absolutely devistating what the post office did to those people. The CEO who was at the heart of the scandal, actually got a CBE when she left her role for 'services to the post office, I mean I'm lost for words. Truely shocking the way it was all handled, trusting the Horizon computer system over Post clerks who had been in the job years. A few even had to pay the post office back money that wasn't even stolen, 10's and hundreds of thousands, losing there houses and livelyhoods, an never actually got it back. Compensation was pitance, where are the shit hot solicitors when you need them.

Just watched this documentary on the back of watching Mr Bates vs The Post Office.  Absolutely scandalous, amazing it's taken the tv programme to get the government talking about it.  Truly horrifying what people with power can do to a minority.

Yeah, because he created it for himself out of nothing. That's why it was praised. Great effort, gonna be a great player.

I'll reserve judgement-most attacking players manage to carve themselves out an opening and miss the target every game and don't get lauded for it.

"Great effort, gonna be a great player".  We will see.

This guy has shown next to nothing yet to suggest we should sign him permanently-runs into blind alley after blind alley and his shooting is little better than that of Tonev.  People are talking about how great his strike against Boro was that actually missed the target.

However, I have absolute faith that Emery will either make him come good or ship him out and he should get our support as long as he's at the club.

I've no idea whether this is genuine or not but apparently the Blues programme listed the Bristol City squad rather than the Stoke one last week!  I've seen it posted a few times on FB but not mentioned here so thought everyone would appreciate another chance to see how imbecilic this club is....
