Just had another look on the 15 min highlights on Sky, pausing the pics. Contact is clearly outside and Knight does a slightly artificial jump to take him into the area, so no pen. The covering defender is almost behind the goalie and there is a big ‘uncovered’ the keeper’s right, so it clearly is a scoring opp. So well done ref.

I’m level with it. The initial contact was outside but he stayed on his feet into the area, was about to shoot then got clipped again. Pen and a red as not attempting to play the ball. Oops got that wrong - not a pen and not sure it was a red either!

Starter for ten !

Need to move the ball quicker, with better movement, and make better decisions when we have chances. If we do we’ll win.

So many City metaphors I don’t know where to start?

Where there were jobs, let us take them away. Margaret Thatcher and Steve Lansdown

‘ Swerving the Bristol street’

Agree. Criticise his / his dad’s decision making, pull him up if he’s demonstrably being economical with the truth. But no need to be personally unpleasant about him no matter how angry people are.

This feels like early June with weeks to go until games start again

Steve, is that you? No not that one!

Bit off topic but in the same spirit:

I guess it depends how popular an appointment they are

Bit windy for the roof no?

Ward - gas - promotion!

Dangerous predicting wins against teams lower down in this league (realise that’s a bit of a cliche but there’s an element of truth in it). QPR have a new guy so may well get a bounce. Weds have finally won a game so likewise. So might we of course from a new guy, although sacking a popular manager can sometimes have a negative effect on the dressing room. But the big problem at the mo is injuries and that’s what worries me most about the next two games.

As said elsewhere football management is supply and demand, with supply of managers being much greater than available posts. Managers will take jobs at clubs in varying degrees of distress / mis management because that’s what they have to do. So whoever it is (and I don’t want Lampard at all) they’ll get my support, as ultimately not wanting the team to succeed because of the owners is cutting off your nose to spite your face, imho.

But haven’t those managers won things? Just a thought.

You may have stumbled on an issue here…..

My lad’s first ever game - never forget his face when the crowd roared after we equalised. Still not forgiven James mind

I wish people would stop posting on the Lampard thread - making it ‘hot’. Giving me the right heebie geebies it is

I blame Nige for not giving Marv Brown enough minutes and helping him become our first million pound player
