Took its time eh???

holy **** that was close!

Lansbury's got a plan guys don't worry! Give us less of a chance of somehow winning this game so Bruce is out the door? Wait **** sake nvm now we can't use the 11 vs 10 men excuse

One thing that annoyed me, the ref. Booked Hogan for kicking it away when it was flagged offside, then when Wigan did the exact same thing a few minutes later, no card?

I missed this feeling!

AHHH CMON KEINAN!

Incredible Davis!

Green has been very good the past couple matches. He is very direct and causes trouble. 

I have a soft spot for Green, I'll admit, I play Football Manager, that's why

Is this true?

Bruce said it in the interview, utter crap. Apparently no Fulham move too.

McCormack not in the side due to missing training? Are you joking?

Hope BBC Sport actually shows our goals tomorrow.

According to Bruce talking about whether he will field the best team,

'Yes. Of course I will.

We will give it our best shot.'

At least we get to have a look at Johnstone, right?

The BBC Sport EFL updates seem to hate us, haven't seen any full time notification or anything

Cardiff are A Shit team

We Have a Shit GK RB 2CMs and Gaby

Warnock is a C-unit

Gabby wasn't that bad this game to be fair. His paycheck is a bit ridiculous but actually had some fight.

In the press conference after the game, Neil Warnock made some comments that just ticked me off, here are a few of the things he said: (credits to http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villas-jack-grealish-needs-12235798)

. “I think Grealish does well for the penalty. I’m a bit disappointed with Grealish today, trying to get players booked. He doesn’t need to do that, he’s a good player. He was saying ‘three, four times, how many more?’ and all that and screaming."

. “Second half, if you heard their bench and some of the things they were shouting on, I think they were quite concerned."

.“We didn’t quite get on the end of some crosses, but that’s what it is. When you’re top of the league you will get that luck in front of goal.” 

Is he mad?! Firstly, as soon as you're top of the league, it doesn't automatically mean you get luck in front of goal, the reason they're top of the league is that they've constantly kept up consistent performances.

Secondly, he sounds really salty when he says 'Grealish did well with the penalty' when if you watch the footage back it was a blatant penalty. He is basically stating by saying that Grealish was shouting at the ref that his decision was influenced by Grealish, which is complete bull.

What do you think about this? Am I completely mistaken and taking what he said in the wrong way or is he just a bit salty?

Did anyone else see Ayew's bib?

I'm a bit confused about the role myself, but from what I have read, he will be involved with training. So i'm wondering if it is a ploy to less than gently nudge the current manager out. Although their board statement is politician esque (They will work together etc)

The Director of Football organises contracts for the manager but doesn't sack the manager
