Manuel

"Also, guessing it was my turn in the barrel." Thought this line was telling. People like him aren't part of the BBC's future and he knows it.

52% of forum members marched. I hear that a few want to march again though as they didn't properly understand what they were doing first time around.

Yeah, I wrongly assumed that Semenya was a trans person. Turns out she was born a woman but has a condition which means she has abnormally high testosterone. In this case I think she's been hard done by and should be allowed to compete against other women as she is. A strange situation when sports are trying to eradicate drug use, that she is forced to take drugs in order to compete. I doubt anyone would complain about an abnormally tall person from competing in a high jump contest or from playing basketball.

Being 2nd in the league for much of the season and finishing 6th was outstanding. Do now what we were doing then.

Walking from the centre of town yesterday, remarked on how difficult it is to get a pint in before a game these days. Royal Oak, Eagle, Plume, King Alfred all gone. Kingsland Tavern a desperate place, unable to get the pints out.

I hope the owner backs him. This seems like the best opportunity the club has had in quite a few years to push forward with some purpose.

Fair enough I suppose, bigger picture and all that. A bit surprising to see that at home though, against a team we were playing better than.

People's thoughts from yesterday? He really is a mixed bag for me. Personally don't think he defends very well, not tight enough and ponderous. Isn't particularly quick to get back either, slower than Cedric. Crossing was poor for most of the game. The excellent one which found Targett's head was the first cross of his that found a player all game, and his only cross to the far post. Plenty of time to improve I know.

That embarrassing moment when you stand up to celebrate the 3rd goal only to realise you've got one of those fuking clappers in your hand (was using it a sunshade). Anyone tell me what Austin and others were doing hugging the corner flag towards the end? Looked like we were trying to see the game out at 3-3?

Yeah, a Bournemouth ST holder I know says many of their supporters secretly look up to Saints as a club to aspire to. A general murmur of being "less of a club", inferior, lowly, reverberates amongst their support. But look at our league position I joke, and he laughs at the irony of it and, appreciating the temporary nature of it, screenshots every week they are ahead of us in the table to store as a memory. Anyway he says the fans are looking forward to the trip to St Mary's, as usual, and if you see a few supporters taking notes as we play or joining in with a few of our songs, not to pay much attention to it.

Thought J-Rod's 12 second goal against Chelsea might be third on the list. Turns out it was 13 seconds, and he's way down the pecking order. Never knew there were so many. Nice one Shane.

Yeah, this for me. Was strong when he came on at St Mary's. Point would be nice.

I think that translates as "cheap".

Boufal divides more opinion than any other. If he could fully get on board with RH's fitness regime and how RH expects him to play within the team, I think he could be top drawer for us. Big if though.

If we have to use the last ditch Huddersfield Town safety net, we will.

Enjoyed Man U at home, his last game? Good midfield that day, Lemina and Hoj disrupting everything, making Pogba look silly. Brace from Armstrong, strong and very positive. We are better defensively now though and maybe Man U wouldn't have got 2 back under the current system. Still, it was a good draw.

Simsey and Ingsey

Beat a very good Wolves side. Ralph doing wonders for the confidence and more importantly getting results. Redmond MOTM.

Would be nice to see a Redmond hat-trick.

Yeah, felt a bit sorry for Vestergaard there. Bertie did him no favours with Himenez so close to him.

Gunn, Valery, Yoshi, Bednarek, Vest, Bertrand, JWP, Sims, Hoj, Redmond, Ings 5 at the back, Romeu on the bench.

Kruger's statement seems very brief and says nothing. Can I assume he didn't see this coming? Would be nice to have a bit of stability, but it's only worth maintaining stability if we're on the right course. Let's hope whoever's making the decisions has a good plan.

Nonsense. Tikka dishes have been a popular part of Pakistani cuisine for generations. Carry on with your no-knowledge trolling/questioning/wasting people's time.

That his stance on immigration and his enjoyment of typical Pakistani food might be a little ironic?

Some loud mouth in the Northam shouting "town full of pak!s" at Leicester supporters when we were in the Championship is all I can recall. Nobody joined in and he shut up, eventually. Probably got a chicken tikka on the way home.
