Can only agree with you in everyway.There are times when I feel my hatred for other clubs (chavs, scousers) may eclipse my feelings against this lot.
But that was back with a vengeance today.
I'm not going to dissect the game, but their first goal had me pulling my hair out. The first half was the stuff of nightmares, felt like every time they went forward, they were going to score.
Much better second half and I thought we were unlucky not to get a draw at least.
Ref was crap, as usual. The push in the back on Ritchie was ignored; five minutes later, nearly the same on one of theirs resulted in a free kick. And why did he need VAR to point out the penalty - as clear as the nose on my face! And it looked like a foul before their second, albeit I've only seen it in real time.
I probably wouldn't feel this annoyed/upset if they weren't at the top, it would have been good to pull them down a peg or two.
Sad state of affairs when I want a corrupt, oil-state backed club to win all their games (including against us) to stop them, but the alternative is too awful to contemplate.
Anyway going to stuff myself full of biscuits and chocolate, get into my PJs and watch reruns of the Repair Shop.

You're only saying what all of us are thinking!!Sad state of affairs when I want a corrupt, oil-state backed club to win all their games (including against us) to stop them, but the alternative is too awful to contemplate.

Ben ORANGE clearly has some personal self-esteem issues...Little prick
Agree. Pathetic showing versus our rivals. Doesn’t make sense how we never seem to be able to get it up for these games.I’m as positive as they come and will always look for the good in the club, it’s manager and the players but I have now had to watch us lose at home to Woolwich West Ham and Chelsea.
That in itself needs to be addressed.
Not only that, we haven’t been able to win one game against these 3.
Even at our lowest we’d often win one or two of these fixtures.
If you can’t lead a team to win these games then questions need to be asked.
How shit does Son and Maddison have to be before they are left out?
I can’t remember the last time I saw either have a good game.
The players need to have a good look at themselves and the manager needs to ask himself if he is happy at us losing at home to our 3 main rivals?
I cannot remember the last manager to lose at home to Woolwich, Chelsea and West Ham in the same season.
Totally unacceptable.
“Mate. It’s my way or get blown away. Mate”We only let in two types of goals;
Set piece or Breakaway!
Perhaps we could try to practice set piece defending!
What's the pl?Did anyone see why it was kicking off at half time outside the pl?
Uh-oh...“Mate. It’s my way or get blown away. Mate”
*cough*
