Who in their right mind is going to someone else's house without socks and expecting to walk around barefoot? Grim behaviour.

I do wonder if he's a pretty good championship winger but perhaps just doesn't have that edge needed at the PL that Fatawu clearly does. He's clearly got quality in him, that ball he put in for Vards was brilliant. We need to see more of that though, he does quite often seem to wait for the defender to make some sort of mistake without really doing a lot. I feel like maybe he's a little low on confidence at the minute.

Vary one was tight but looked offside, don't think it was a pen either, barely any contact. Not sure on Buonanotte

The thing that concerns me is the back line. We look disorganised and are making basic mistakes. I'm not sure there is any leadership there. We need to improve.

Been the better team for most of this game, played some nice stuff going forward and really should have had a couple of goals, 1 at the very least. Think Stolarcyzk could've done better with the 1st, Kristiansen and more so Coady massively at fault for the 2nd. Very disappointing to be let down at the back again, it really is gonna be a struggle as we look so disorganised. Some positive signs in terms of attack though.

Been binging Colin from accounts at my parents as I'd heard lots of good things and I don't have a TV license at home. Very funny. My kind of show.

Lamar No.1 rushing QB in 40 less games than Vick as well.

Now that is how to start a half!

That PI call was bollocks

The NFL has actually taken a leaf out of the PL book on this front, IIRC this year is the first they've got games on every day of the week. Ravens played christmas day last year, I'm just grateful this year it's on Netflix and at a time I can watch without staying up silly hours. Beautiful opening drive for us!

Merry Christmas everyone! I find it quite hard this time of year but it is a real mixed bag. Often it feels so built up, it feels like there is so much societal pressure to be merry and I find that often leads to a bad time mentally. I miss my sister in Aus more so at Christmas than any other time of year and I often find myself in social situations where the expectation of a good time overwhelms me, but I know that I am fortunate. The best thing I can do is try and keep my mind as occupied as possible and not spend too much time idly wondering about every decision I've made in the last few months. My thoughts and best wishes to all of you, particularly those having a hard time @Izzy @FoxesDeb @spacemunky @foxfanazer x

I'm amazed they didn't give a pen for that, if the player hadn't hurdled him he would've been clattered and could well have had a broken leg. Anywhere else on the pitch someone goes in like that with so little control and it's a straight red no questions asked. He's incredibly lucky imo.

This is directly contradictory to what you've said about ownership being a problem, surely?

I don't really agree with booing him but I can understand it. I think Ruud to some extent has to defend Ward, especially if Stolarcyzk is unlikely to play on Thursday but RvN has to know now that he cannot play Ward again and he will very quickly lose confidence of the fan base if he does so. I also think that the club are primarily to blame. We all know Ward isn't good enough, we've seen more than enough to know that. As such, expecting anything other than below standard keeping from him is madness and it is more the fault of the club that we are in this position.

I wonder if the wolves player said something. There's no way Ward was ever getting that and as has been pointed out, surely if Ward said to leave it JJ would've had recriminations with him. The galling thing is that there is so much wrong with this and the first two things are simple communication. Ayew ****s off his man and doesn't say anything to JJ, there clearly isn't any useful communication between Ward and JJ and then the goalkeeping is horrific. If you didn't know any better you'd think someone was paying Ward to concede that goal.

I think this is pretty unfair. I do a lot of my Christmas shopping quite late and my spatial awareness is pretty good. On a more serious note I completely agree. Watching back the goals on MOTD, none of them should be going in. The 2nd is absolutely awful.

Left on Sky after the game whilst browsing and just listened to a few minutes of debate. My word Carragher is so full of shite. I think when he started he was OK, occasionally insightful ateast but he's crawled up his own arse.

What was he thinking for the 2nd?

I've not been a big whisky drinker but a friend bought me the Glenlivet Founders Reserve and I must say I did enjoy that and have started trying more.

STOP THE SLEIGHS!! They've no right to go dashing through OUR snow!!!!

In the S*n so probably horse shit. That said, no thanks.

Predictably fvcking terrible.

I wrote this and wanted to share it here. Switch From time to time I pause I try and recall what I learnt, In the 2nd sunrise of my life I wish, like many times before That my brain had a switch That I could simply turn off & on Like bulb, like brain Light bulb, light brain Stop with the heavy lifting Of endless possibilities Of problems that exist in your head One day they might manifest One day might be never Stop. Flick the switch Break the circuit Not your mind or your back Take a breath, relax Listen to Miller, Mac It ain't 2019 no more.

Well not really. Maybe they should have more than 5 points because 5 points at this stage because that is historically shit, but the bloke is in denial. They've played nearly half a season. We didnt rob them, we played the entire game and came away with the points. You could argue it was fortunate but that's football.
