I thought we did alright. We looked much more disciplined defensively. Shame about the penalty as they would have got nervous if it had stayed 1-0 much longer. Their crowd is like a rugby crowd. We were quite noisy. Best bit of the day was serenading Ginger Pele in our section with “Ten more years e...

Nuno gets this. Great that Potts got on. Brilliant man manager who knows what he’s doing. Happy days 
 

I stayed till the end and found myself standing a few feet away from Bill Gardner. It was surreal and bloody sad to see him standing in a stadium of empty seats watching a team and support put up so little fight. Sullivan and Brady have killed our club. 

This in the Guardian today, so a bit of profile amongst the beardy sandal wearing intelligentsia. Hopefully they’ll be up for kicking the board’s collective arse.

I would think the most likely reason Igor Julio didn’t go to Palace is that Glasner would have walked if they’d sold Guehi and Eze in the same transfer window. 

He’s the lump who jogged alongside Bowen and watched him score the winner in Prague instead of scything him down, right? I think we should sign him and pay him handsomely just to say thank you. 

A brilliant away day. Bowen and Paqueta pumped. Where was Forest’s famous atmosphere. Love our fans when we large it in provincial towns and come home with three points, rare as it is. The train home is buzzing. 

A different club than us would say fine, if he wants to go he can go, let’s do everything we can to replace him. We’re not that club. He’ll go. Sullivan will have £50m in his sky and we’ll be short on creativity for the rest of the season.

Bobby Moore, Franz Beckenbauer, Johann Cruyff, George Best. I guess there are some benefits to being old! 

Like Alf said, I think it’s only loans that’ll come through the door now. Sullivan won’t back a manager he may well have to sack with any more permanent transfers. We don’t own the stadium and have only two genuine playing assets in Bowen and Paqueta- no guarantee Sullivan wouldn’t sell them. The on...

You’re right, Vexed, whatever Potter has inherited and even though his boss keeps throwing him under the bus, he should still do better. 

Manager is irrelevant as long as Sullivan is there. Only ones who’ll take the job are on the downward slide in career terms and prepared to risk being Sullivan’s fallguy for one last shot at the Premier League. I guess maybe Ange would fit that bill but Sullivan is really the de facto manager and fo...

It does feel different now that the national press and pundits have got Sullivan directly in their sights and are calling him out as self-serving and incompetent. Obviously this is massive wishful thinking on my part but it does feel to me as though something big is about to happen. I suspect it wil...

Cullen scores. Isn’t it ironic

Those of you who understand business / finance, am I reading this right? The club we love is actually just a side issue in a failed property deal that was the actual focus of Sullivan and Brady all along. That’s why their interest and ours are so far apart. So long as Gold was around they could pret...

Not overly impressed by the Chiesa song about them ‘crying in Turin’ which Carragher was chortling about on Friday night. I’m old enough to remember watching the telly on the night the Liverpool fans were responsible for the deaths of 39 Juventus fans at Heysel. I’d say they’ve got every reason to c...

Fair enough Ernie but the fact is there’s a massive difference between coming over as professional (spin, PR, questions agreed in advance, media training) and being professional which she patently isn’t. She’s a fraud and a failure. 

I am on a train coming back from Sunderland so can’t tune in. If she announces she’s refunding my match ticket and other expenses do please let me know. 

I understand herself is on the radio with Shaun Curtis and Henry Winter at 10am this morning. I trust they are going to behave like the proper journalists they claim to be and ask her a string of exacting questions- my opener would be, “Isn’t it true to say that your career at West Ham has been extr...

That was a really demoralising defeat to a team who probably won’t win many matches. We were flat but in no real bother at half time but all the things we’ve wittered on endlessly about on here were painfully apparent- slow midfield passing sideways etc etc. I’ve seen some miserable losses in my tim...

Vexed your passionate rants are different class and always make my day. Don’t go changing! 

Not going to burn my specially printed off Sunderland ticket (what’s that all about) and my train ticket based on that Alf. Our fans are massive, Potter will get a tune out of them this year, we’ve got a big German, Bowen and Paqueta are still on our books and it’s happy days ahead. Cheer up, old so...

I hear you. But I do think there are some positives with JWP. His free kicks have been a massive disappointment but I think his corner taking is excellent and potentially a difference maker if Kilman, Todibo and Mavropanos could head the ball even half as well as dear old Craig Dawson. I’m hoping se...

Like others I wondered if JWP might be a makeweight in a deal for Fernandes but perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that he’s very much part of Potter’s plans since Potter values above all else character, teamwork, team spirit, the group’, good lads getting along together. That’s the culture he builds...

The goal that he and Bowen contrived to score between them at Spurs means he’ll always have a place in my heart.
