We were beat by the better team. No excuses, these things happen sometimes

Big fan of Pochettino’s coat. And that’s what matters.

Tough game tomorrow against the Wallsend Buffs or whoever it is.

I'm a big fan of us using Shelvey in the Under 21s because he's not getting a game tomorrow. Let's snide our way into the top level anyway possible.

More like Fat Earth, what with the rising obesity levels! Ha ha ha, hit like and subscribe

Aye, you can assemble a decent back line on a shoestring, or close enough, because the defensive side of things is largely about communication, strength and organisation. When you consider Rafa's eye for a player, it's not a surprise that our defence is solid as a rock. But, imagine if Rafa got his first choices in attack for the last two seasons? You can argue that Murphy and Muto, for £20 million combined, represent a failure but £20 million for two attackers in this day and age gets you fuck all. Or, in other terms, it gets you Murphy and Muto.

The kind of people who budget a tenner a week to put Oasis songs on the jukebox.

Heard Gerry Cinnamon on the radio before and I see they've invented an Ed Sheeran for people who think they listen to "real music"

Depends if you can take a punch when you're doing it.

Gouffran was pretty good when he first came in tbf. Before his legs went.

I can almost hear Allardyce shouting down the phone at Khan from here. He'll be the Gammon's Choice.

I’m inclined to agree but he’s one of those players who seems to improve with a run of games in the side rather than being in and out which renders him a pretty useless sub, really.

If a doll popped up in a game and told me to hold a knife to my neck, it wouldn’t have a chance to think straight before I simply shot it with a rocket launcher. Or if I was playing FIFA, a shotgun.

Once more, you cut a swath through the mysteries of life like a modern day Errol Flynn

I’m not blaming Mitrovic, I just think it’s funny. Fuck the lazy bastard.

Not a fucking clue what's going on at any point in this album but the guitar work is absolutely class for you lads in that guitar thread.

Reckon it might be Cardiff but Southampton's run-in is a right bastard. They basically had to win tonight since there's not many points for them in the next month or so. A terrible shame for Mitrovic of course but we better get the extra £5 million when they go down.

In fact, the one man who turned him into an international centre forward was in the home dugout so I'm sure he'd have told Lascelles how to handle him straight away anyway

What's the question again?

Agreed on all that but especially Burnley’s tactics once they were behind. Crouch was only on 30 seconds before Taylor tried to dive in the middle to win a free kick they could launch it from. Awful, utilitarian, bog standard shite that you’d never expect from a team on the run they were on.

Best promoted team ever, though. If you ignore Ipswich coming up and finishing 5th. And us coming up and finishing 3rd while accumulating more points than Man United will end up with this season.

Death, taxes and Mackems getting riled up whenever we win a couple of games

Scorchio!

With everyone back and fit, it would be welcome to have a bench that doesn’t have Manquillo or Joselu on it when Barreca and Muto are there to call on.

Aye, it frees up Mark Hughes to come in at the end of the season.
