Clever Farke

This was the problem and really unlucky. Hope it’s not serious. Without anyone to do the running up top to create space for our midfield the system collapses. Some of our football was sublime and in the scheme of things we are a point nearer and a game less to the target.

But not in Lambo’s class of salt and bitter lemon. I bet he whinges about their last minute penalty appeal. It was almost identical to Sargent’s. Ref had a decent and consistent game.

This is a fact! 😃

They are very well organised and very fit but lack quality as evidenced today again. You can see how they grind out results especially against lesser teams. Their lack of quality will probably do for them in the playoffs.

They are bang average but are bang average consistently enough to stay up there. They certainly aren’t easy on the eye.

How stupid do certain columnists feel now about hanging Borja out. Hang your heads in shame! We need his feisty spark and he has far more self control than Emi ever had at this stage. Howson revealed as a cheat! Madley revealed again as incompetent.

I have no faith in the appeals ‘panel’ but if they had sense they would use such incidents to discourage players simulating injury to get players sent off!

If you can see him kicking out you’ve got better eyesight than me!

Still angry! Violent conduct my xxxx! Impossible to read intention into Sainz movement. On the other hand there was intention from both Howson and Ayling to needle and rough him up hoping he’d blow up. I can only see Sainz exercising restraint in the face of that provocation. It is that which makes this one of the worst decisions I’ve seen.

Howson is a lying little xxxx. ‘I don’t make the rules’ says mr integrity! Is it in the rules to simulate injury to get a fellow professional sent off?

Yes, but I think he’s blown his chance of the Hall of Fame.

He made no move with his feet towards Howson. He was if anything wanting to get up. It looks like he if anything avoided reacting. Even though Howson and Ayling had already been trying to wind him up. I hope Wagner backs him. It is one of the worst decisions I’ve seen. Makes Beckhams World Cup red look like GBH.

We should absolutely appeal. Even if the clowns give him an extra game it won’t make much difference. Wasn’t even a booking let alone a red. I can’t believe I still watch football, the state of it. I gave up watching this game as soon as the red came out. Just beyond pathetic. I feel sorry for the paying public who have been cheated once again. This is not the game I grew up watching. It is absolutely xxxx what the game has become. Soft as xxxx.

The only reason it became a red is because Howson belatedly hopped around on one leg pointing to his thigh. ‘Look ref, looook ref!’

Howson let himself down. Just a cheat. The ref just bought it.
