City are a bit good

Absolutely given Bayern a lesson in the second half. First half was pretty even, second half City been magnificent

Ref is having a shocker in the AC Milan v Napoli game. Falling for MIlan play acting every time.

Seeing as its Italy probably a lovely Villa on the shores of lake Maggiore buried in the brown envelope, quite a few people I know who have been to Naples thought it to be a bit of a dump: so an easy choice for which one to take 🤪

[Saint Matty 76]

Love to see Paul give that a go.

Tall Paul would have crouched and headed it on the bar.

Villa everything Saints aren’t. Pacy, aggressive and attacking. Emery is a very good  manager. 

[CB Fry]

Villa showing just how atrocious a manager Steven Gerrard is.

There's a lot more they're better at us that than those. Threatening to overtake Spurs and finish 5th. Very good squad, very good manager - as CB Fry says, just proves what a terrible job Gerrard did there.

[Maggie May]

It would be so sweet if Villa finished above Newcastle.

[Saint_clark]

That was not offside. 

[adrian lord]

Pleased to see the sportswashers getting thrashed. 3-0.

The difference between hiring a good manager and hiring a cheap one.

[Lighthouse]

Everton have three home games left; Newcastle, City and Bournemouth. Surely, it's too funny to actually happen...

[S-Clarke]

2 from Leeds, Everton, Forest and Leicester to round the relegation off I think.

Looking like being Forest and Leicester at this stage, although Everton are in the shit.

[Lighthouse]

Why does the on-field ref. need to check every decision? Complete waste of a minute checking that pen. for City.

[Saint_clark]

Leicester heading for a 9-0 defeat here.

That would be beautifully ironic although only we are so shit to manage it at home.

Man City surely keen to join the 9-0 club (or better).

[BotleySaint]

Hilarious to see Chelsea lose again.

It irritates me to say.. But fair play Bournemouth. They deserve to stay up. The spirit and determination of their players sums up exactly what is missing from our team. Ours couldn't care less it seems.. Infuriating.

I know eh, none of the commentary team even addressed that either. 

Now Saka has bottled pen and just like that it's 2-2. FFS!

so many players wearing orange boots. once I first noticed it I can’t help seeing them everywhere

Harry Maguire has been atrocious in the first 15 mins

If we had either of Forest's keepers we wouldn't be in the relegation zone.

Forests keeper keeps them in games, ours costs us them.

Glass half full…

The three teams above us all lost. 
 

Glass half empty…

what a wasted opportunity this weekend.

However Navas palmed the ball across his 6 yard box for the first United goal and did exactly the same thing in the second half, but somehow that time the ball dribbled between the 3 onrushing United forwards. He certainly also made some good saves, but had that been Bazunu we would be ignoring the good saves and still be blaming him for the first goal and the subsequent loss.

United's first goal was a brilliant save at full stretch, and the second time he palmed it out into a semi-dangerous area it was his touch which stopped three United players tapping it in.

Bazunu had a tame effort straight at him and chose to palm it straight to a Palace attacker out of all the available options.

TAA is playing in one of those fullback come CM roles away aat Leeds.

Give it a couple more games doing this and the hype will start about him being the 'best in the world'(tm) at it.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Maybe Jese Marsch was a genius after all!

5-1 defeat at home last week, 6-1 this week. 🤣

[Killers Knee]

Somehow we are actually worse than Leeds.

Leeds would smash us

It's so depressing. We gave them four points this season.

How the flip do Leeds have a +9 better goal difference than us?

Oh yeah, because we’re fucking shite.

this has got to be one of the worst seasons for quality in the league. the whole bottom 10 or so are shambolic.

To get relegated this season you have to have been proper shit.

Basically why we are still loosely in touch with the rest.. Feels like we should be further adrift. But lots of others have been really bad too. 

I had a look at last year's table after 31 games. We'd currently be 19th under Watford on goal diff.

Burnley were on 28pts by this stage. They went down despite having accrued 35pts.

Had that been Bazunu, there wouldn't have been any saves.

And to finish on less than 30 points! Honestly, terrible.

The worst PL team in our history, these players have got a cracking accolade to take with them for the rest of their careers. 2005 was bad, but this lot are 10x worse. That's why I'd be happy to see the back of every single one of them, they're all damaged goods now.

[sfc4prem]

No ingenuity, no desire, no belief, no resilience. We're fucking clueless. These players should hang their heads in shame. To be relegated this year of all shows how fucking diabolical our managers have been, and our scouting network is.
