Saw this last night, looks like it's his actual account. Great captain.

Utterly, utterly woeful as a CB and as a captain. How many games had he managed to play in the few seasons before coming here, and how many were at CB? He has been dreadful, and as others have said it was madness to put all our faith in this guy organising our defence and leading by example. I joined in with the ill advised enthusiasm whilst we were signing players last summer, but I was never convinced by this one and unfortunately I was right not to be. I will be absolutely amazed if any PL team coughs up 5m for him this summer, I think we'll be hard pressed to find one willing to pay half of that. Unless Sherwood finds himself a PL job between now and the end of August, I guess

The stars are aligning for Leicester if all 3 of the other teams lose tonight. Good luck to them, only thing keeping me interested in PL football this season

Spurs and Man City losing, Arsenal drawing, good night for them as it stands

He's guilty at the end of the day but I'd love to know if the 15 year girl is really Mother Teressa's successor as her court statement tried to make her out to be or if she had a bit of previous 

I guess even if she did It doesn't change AJ's guilt but I dunno there is 15 and there is 15 I guess ....

Saw an article on the Guardian site earlier that stated the judge said it was always AJ who moved the conversation towards sex, and used it to highlight that his actions were  "classic grooming"

I was under the impression he'd picked her up in a club and believed she was 18, how wrong was I. I can't see how he can believe he has any grounds for a defence.

I think he's admitted to grooming and the least serious of the sexual activity charges in an attempt to reduce the rest of the trial to a case of one person's word against another, with the hope of making it hard to prove beyond reasonable doubt that anything else happened. If he's found guilty of anything else I'd imagine he's getting locked up, but as it is he could probably get away with a suspended sentence. It's really hard to fathom why he did it, or how he imagined he'd ever get away with it. Not just a nonce but an idiot too.

Meanwhile, Sunderland are minutes away from beating Man U, bad news for us

On the chips m'lord

I didn't see the Palace game but I thought we looked much, much better yesterday. Signs starting to show of how he wants us to play, and seems like the players are gaining some belief back as well. Pleased with the reaction after Wycombe by the manager and players. I still don't think we will stay up, but I could see us put a run together and not finish bottom. If Garde can get us playing better football and have on a bit of a run towards the end of the season then I think he deserves the chance to try and get us promoted.

I forgot about Albrighton who had a stormer tonight. I can't say Bertrand or Cleverley because they were loanees and never actually owned them.

You can't like, own a player, man...

Inspirational stuff from Garde... Not impressed with how long we waited to make changes. Poor

We are dreadful, not really sure why I'm watching. It's not enjoyable in the slightest

Just me who got Grealish then, yeah?

we are shocking

SHERWOOD OUT

FUCKFUCK ****!!! I've been critical of Bacuna in midfield, but he's had a very good game

Hutton is playing well but just can't be expected to act as an attacking outlet

MOVE INTO **** SPACE

He's carried on arguing, looking pretty angry, for much longer than was necessary. Our captain and best centre back is now on a yellow for the rest of the game for something innocuous and stupid. I still have memories of teams winding Benteke up and him getting sent off. We need our captain to be showing a bit of calm and maturity, not screaming and pushing poeople.

Rubbish. If he gets himself sent off there, kicking off over nothing, then he isn't going to be able to help with the fight is he? Richards has done well for us and is probably our best choice for captain, but he's acted like a **** idiot there.

Great maturity from our captain.

I'm a big fan of Westwood, and have a hard time understanding the stick he gets from the fans at times, but he was absolutely hopeless yesterday. Probably our worst outfield player IMO, has to (and can) do better.

Thought Gestede had a decent game yesterday, played as well as could be expected without any service and he is looking a lot more mobile. Held the ball up decently and won most things in the air as well. I like him, and as others have said, he definitely isn't the problem

People want us to emulate the relative success of Swansea and Southampton in securing our status as a top half team again, playing expansive football and bringing through decent players who can be sold on for profit. Early signs this season are that Leicester and Palace are well placed to mount a serious challenge on the top half, as well.

These same people would do well to remember that Swansea looked hopeless for the most of the first half of their first season in the PL (didn't win away until they came to Villa Park in about Feb IIRC), Southampton looked nailed on for relegation for much of their first season back in the league, Palace looked utterly doomed up until Christmas both of the past two seasons and Leicester went something like 27 games without winning last season, before things finally clicked.

The lack of patience on here is absolutely astounding at times. As others have said, we have an entirely new team of talented players who will need time to get up to the pace of the league and to adapt to playing with each other. It's obvious (IMO) that we are progressing, even if things don't look too good right now, we look capable of attacking football and play some nice stuff from time to time, but need to be more consistent in doing so.

IT TAKES TIME!!
