Wouldn't put it past our players to play half-arsed if it means Cooper gets the sack.

Soumare struggling to pass the ball further than 20 yards to another player in space

5-0 home loss vs Bolton to start the season as you mean to go on... 5-0 home loss vs Villa.

is that what she called it

One of the worst halves of football in a long time.

0-0 until 70 mins. Ward howler. Only then will Cooper resort to making a change. Justin on for Thomas.

What other ones had you buried? Bottling a 2-1 lead vs Spurs in stoppage time? Bournemouth 4-1 after Iheanacho was subbed at HT? Wolves 4-3 Leicester (again).

I can't wait to watch this same set up vs Arsenal on Saturday...

Jamille Matt on their bench - did he score for Newport against us in the FA Cup?

so crap

It's worse physically seeing it...

Okoli getting frustrated at Soumare several times already. Soumare's first thought when he gets the ball from him is pass it back. He's in acres of space. Just turn around and have some awareness of it.

Thomas is so crap

Holy shit Ward did something good. How did they have 2 players free at the back though

Buonanotte trying to do too much. Our players seem to just play together as individuals, as opposed to having any kind of clear game plan...

That's excessive violent conduct

What's the DLS par score? England ahead?

That seeded draw really worked in Chelsea & Man City's favour!

Buonanotte and Fatawu demoted to cup ties. Great.

Ward, Thomas and Soumare brings about PTSD from 2 seasons ago.

Crisps are my vice!

Literally in the same position as you (albeit a couple of years younger). I definitely try and walk more and drink more water. Cutting out alcohol also helps as well as the fizzy drinks. I'm a lot more conscious of what I eat these days, too. Used to eat a lot of chicken and meat but have cut that down (for variety, never going vegan or veggie ) to just 2-3 times a week if that. I'll eat low-carb stuff, and watch my diet a lot more during the week than ever before, too. Weekends I relax a bit on the food front.

With a ball. He's not gone up to him and punched him from behind.

How? Players voluntarily go to head the ball. Gabriel getting 'hit' by the ball is just not violent conduct! Not even close to being violent. Unsportsmanlike, 100% yes. But violent? Nowhere near. If you're gonna hand out red cards for that, retrospectively or not, that to me negates what actual violent conduct is (biting, intentional elbows to the face, punching an opponent, studs high up intentionally etc). If that's classed as violent conduct, then so is what Fuchs did to Sanchez (even though the latter deserved it for his fannying around at a throw in). And that wasn't violent conduct at the time either.

It was in play, not pre game!
