Can’t post the screenshot as it’s bigger than allowed size but looks like he was at Le Reve in Lichfield last night

Football was around before 1992. Are you suggesting there was never booing of a poor performance before then? Also why were the players there before 1992?

Gives them a reason to be there. As the players do for the supporters

In my opinion the booing was for the performance in the first half as evidenced by the loud Unai Emery’s Claret & Blue Army straight after. I wasn’t there but watched the game. Would have been booing if I was there as the first half was absolutely terrible and I would have resented paying ticket & transport money on a Wednesday evening just after Christmas and New Year and after work to watch that performance. Support is a 2 way street, fans sounded right behind the players from the off but players didn’t respond in the first half leading to reduction in support. Stats here for the first half: https://www.flashscore.co.uk/match/d8NOBd1K/#/match-summary/match-statistics/1 Second half much better as fans responded to players’ efforts and players responded to the fans’ efforts. Stats for the second half: https://www.flashscore.co.uk/match/d8NOBd1K/#/match-summary/match-statistics/2 It’s a symbiotic relationship. One can’t survive without the other, both need the other to survive. Also not for one second suggesting it’s the be all and end all that dictates a performance - as someone else said if we were 2-0 down at half time but had put the effort in the reaction would have been very different. Glad we got a point out of it and very pleased with Emery so far, let’s hope it continues.

Still aboard (I’m being pedantic I don’t actually want him)

Isn’t Norway abroad?

Haven’t seen this posted so apologies if it already has been but this is eye opening:

Eeeeeeeeeeee ya know He’s got to go.

If we don’t get a convincing victory vs Forest I think he’s done. Nailed on 2-0 to Forest.

Woeful. Sack him.

And at this time, Steven, those it chose will speak, and have spoken, in a clear voice: you are not wanted here.

Boring first half. Insipid second half. Vanity exercise playing his mate Phil. No leadership on the pitch. Couldn’t respond tactically. Left a clearly woefully out of form ‘Captain’ on. Baffling substitutions (eg why take DL off?) He can’t have much longer surely.

Any ideas what Cameron Archer has to do to get on?

My brain is rattled watching the triathlon being in a place I’ve visited so many times

I’m assuming they tried to cut the animals from behind and received a swift kick to the sister-botherer

Chortle. Mate.

Reminds me a lot of us playing United in the late 90s-2010s. Lots of fear and they just go through us as and when they choose. Would like to see more but not sure what we need here. Buendia and McGinn have been anonymous in my opinion

Will give that a go thanks

On Google Chrome on iPhone new posts won’t load when refreshing eg in match thread. Then seems to work on log in/log out or clearing cache

Fed up of seeing McGinn’s arms in the air. Focus on the job.

Very poor. Think unfortunately if we lose to Southampton, Dean’s gone. I’ll always be grateful for him getting us back into the Premier League

Very poor first half but better second. 3-5-2 needs to be done with but at least we made changes at half time. Disappointed with Cash and Targett and someone needs to get into Mings’ ear to remind him of the captain’s role to lead. Buendia very poor and for me Ings/Watkins don’t work together

Sanson very disappointing so far (rusty?). Can’t remember him making a successful pass; but then as others have said we are very disjointed anyway. Decent save from Zych a few minutes ago

My Canadian fiancée, who knows a lot about football thanks to 8 years of watching Villa thought that Chuk1 and Chuk2 were decent and the ball from JPB as previously mentioned was filthy
