Vulpecula

What a shame! Best wishes for his future.

I used to quite like Dick Dastardly but this incarnation? Nope!

I detest the goblin. I give the players credit for our cup win not him. I really hated how he fact he spoke about our relegation in the past tense, a year or so back, as though it was nothing to do with him!

Brendan does like the word "fantastic"...

I don't really understand this comment. We have to win, that's it. We don't win, we're relegated. If we win, they're not overcoming a 9 goal difference deficit. Everton are the side who could thwart us then. We absolutely mustn't be focusing on bettering the Leeds result.

This is class!

Hope your Danish bacon is fried! Sorry Kasper!!! 😁😁😁

Not "Big Sam" for me. "Fat Sam" way more appropriate. Reminds me of Jabba the Hutt tbh.

In my mind, a crucial part of the "Great Escape."

Sides I want relegated at this realistic point (dreamland would be Scousers, Man Yoo and Arse): The Vile The Turkey Munchers. Ashley's Cash Cow.

Really pleased for you guys!

Gerard and reynard seem rattled (leaking / erupting lots of brown stuff) All others appear fine.

A body blow defeat for Watford, who've gone off the boil after their decent run. I fear for them now, unfortunately. Hope I'm wrong.

Totally wish Pearson all the best. Come on Watford! Come on Nige!

1-1 Final score?

Anyone but Judd Trump for me. Can't stand the bloke. Kind of irrational considering I've never met him / he's done me no harm but still.

FFS! Managed to give Chilwell 10 by mistake!

No. Definitely not. I'd read about it on Talkceltic but it seemed to get lost in the blizzard of rants about Brendan there.

Don't know if this has been posted but look closely at Rodgers' jacket in this Wikipedia link... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Celtic_F.C._managers

A classic example of a straw man argument.

It's a big shame for everyone involved that things aren't working out at this point. Only his biggest detractors wouldn't wish Nigel well. We owe him a lot.

It all reminds me of another very lazy player. Not a City player but one I watched when seeing another league game a few years ago, with friends. I've just googled the chap and he's now approaching the twilight of his career at AFC Wimbledon. He is white. You could see that the player had loads of skill. A great passer of the ball and very good at free kicks but the team's fans were constantly on his back, as he strolled around the pitch. I remember in this game the couple of times he ran very quickly were firstly to chase a ball that was obviously going into touch and secondly to harangue the referee. Obviously the fans noticed this too... He's probably had a half decent career but in no way lived up to his potential. His fault. I digress and it's off topic but just as an example of how fans don't like idle players, no matter their colour.

I think the Nigerian players comment (ergo some fans don't like black players) is, in the main, a load of crap. Fans do not like lazy players - it doesn't matter whether they're black, white, purple, green or yellow! People loved Kante, apart from the fact that he's a great player, for the fact that he's so hard working and tenacious. I think the worst attribute a player can show to his team's fans is a willingness to play at considerably below 100% effort. Iheanacho is giving off vibes of being half arsed at the moment. Whether other things are going on with him, who knows? Fans cannot see whether there are other issues though and will react to what they perceive.

I'm going but just want it over with tbh and can't pretend I'm looking forward to it. Like others have said, it all feels surreal at the moment. We probably need this though, to re-establish a chunk of normality. I suspect I'll feel much better in 24 hours or so.

Yeah, I feel the same.
