Their second? Have a look at it again and then try and say that he should have claimed it. He absolutely couldn't. You usually make some good points but this isn't one of them.

The Vincibles

We sacked him because we were declining.

Not liabilities but we really need better.

But then there shots wouldn't have gone where they did. They don't come in at random.

He falls over a lot. He's not good to us lying on the ground. There's an old football saying, "Stay on your feet"

Very sad indeed. Some things are far more important than football.

Meh New manager bounce, surely

We disagree.

What was Stephens thinking with that back header?

You're going out of your way to find criticism here. The third goal was through Manning's legs and looked to have been deflected off the inside of his left boot. That wax neot an "attempt to scoop it over" To find fault with any goalkeeper for that second is beyond churlish. A goalkeeper might save the first but that's not very likely. Why don't you find fault with the big gaping hole in our defence that allows their player to run into our box unchallenged and drill the ball into the far corner?

Ii would argue (and often have) that he is about average for this level. I've seen a lot worse this evening in the Premier League and to be honest none of the goalkeepers that we have faced of late has been better.

There's no need for that type of language.

We all know that this is meaningless.

And Peter Sellers and Jim Callaghan, although I can understand them keeping quiet about him.

They don't. I got a letter telling me that I would get £200. Then on the back they told me how they were going to take it all back.

It's symbolic of our decline as a country.

Stop the count!

And to me. If you can't see the difference then I guess we can all live with that. It's the attempt to interpret the results as having any significance that I find annoying.

Quirk

Give over, those aren't statistics, they are results.

Yep. You got it. A few promotions here and there perhaps. For most of the time just not getting relegated is all we could hope for.

Finishing 8th was a statistical quirk. I sum the season up as won nothing, achieved nothing.

Whoever it was, we wouldn't finishh anywhere near 8th if we only managed 46 points. As for the rest, "more than matching" is a long stretch considering that we were well beaten.
