Yes. That Doyle was it? When that pen wasn't given he had a free shot and blasted over
Just too passive all over the pitch.

The second goal killed any momentum we'd got from the equaliser and it shouldn't have stood either.

Our owners deserve relegation this season, and they're going to get it.

Back to scrapping to get into the play offs every season. Was fun whilst it lasted.

As I said, Doherty should have been sent off before he even got booked considering he booked Emerson for one late tackle and took 4 late tackled to even reach for the card for him I'd say it's evened out

Just because the decisions have gone in your teams favour, doesn't mean you have to defend them. They're not going to replay the game if you say you've got away with a few.

The second pen was stonewall for me as I said previously

The foul in the build up to Bowens was questionable, however I believe the referee was so bad tonight that he has simply said he has seen that so var just deem it not enough of an error

The ref was consistently awful for both teams.

Another example booking soler correctly for kicking the ball away but your striker not booked for throwing the ball away when the throw in was awarded the other way

He was just so Inconsistent that he prob saw the foul didn't give it so var don't interfere

He wouldn't have been sent off, most likely. Because if he did get a booking, he'd have been more careful afterwards

Well the fans seemed happy with it overall at the time of him coming in, I assumed the hype was built on solid foundations!
I wonder how many United fans follow professional cycling?
I appreciate the visceral despair at the previous (and still current) ownership, but Radcliffe seems a bit Michael Knighton at the moment. Will Brailsford be jogging onto the pitch in his match day kit next week?

Of course, this serves as an excellent distraction from the on-going incompetence at West Ham !

Also a couple of reports saying that Ashworth being lined up by Arsenal to replace Edu

This situation is ridiculous and not good for anyone

If they aren't happy just pull the plug now and admit they made a mistake. Potter is lined up to take over

You can't keep giving j-lo must win games every few weeks which he wins then will get 2 defeats and back to a must win again

Is that not the life of a Prem Manager

The pressure is always there

The only way a manager can ensure the pressure is eased is by getting results

Any manager in the bottom will face must win games regularly

The say most managers are a defeat away from the sack

It's not the results it's the manner

Defeats have been shocking, too many goals shipped. We have the worst when facing a fast counter attack yet he plays a high line all the time with killman who doesn't suit a high line.. who he worked with at wolves when he didn't suit a high line

Seems very tactically inept

Up there with the deluded Ozzie

Results will matter for the owners , results keep the money coming in , keep the team in the Prem

Fans will see it differently at times but it’s the owners that will pull the plug

After the recent Spurs Chelsea match when Palmer stepped up Carragher after the match said that Palmer had prob been the best player in the Prem over the last 18 months

Now when you consider in that period he has played 48 Prem Games and has 33 goals and 17 assists that’s not a bad shout

Others across that period other players have had their moments of poor form where as Palmer has seemed consistent



Well the reaction on Twitter is eye watering

It appears that “fans” from a certain region in the world have accused him of racism , Islamophobia and xenophobia all because he didn’t say Salah ( despite him having less Goal involvements and having a poor end of last season )

The level of attacks on social media are bottom of the barrel

Whilst in some ways it’s great that the game has gone worldwide it’s not great the level of fanatics that’s come along and especially the demands and expectations

We have a bunch who are demanding the owners sell up 🤦‍♂️
