Pring chasing back hard didn't allow Yates time to keep his composure and score. Never-say-die attitude helped to prevent a goal. Vyner owes him one,

Given all the injuries and the lack of strength in depth, I think a point and a clean sheet is a reasonable outcome. As long as we're safe this season, I'll settle for that. This will give Pearson the chance to test out players in new positions and combinations, and also opportunities for some of our "prospects" to prove themselves.

Looks like Irene forgot to pull the flush again.

Huddersfield's Rugby League team are called the Giants. We don't have any big players, so Warnock may pack his team with his own group of "giants" to batter and physically obliterate us. Warnock will have his lot out on the pitch as if they were fighting for their lives. As "Arson" Wegner would say, we will have to "match" them and "Fight fire, with fire" Time for our Maverick to perform some magic and bang in a goal or two.

Neville was so rattled he called Carragher "James" ? Taxi for Neville. "Home James"

Why the long face Fernandez ? You were United's MOTM, Moaner of the Match. Never mind, Noddy still rates you.

Couldn't go today, but was pleased we were on SKY. However, the curse of the Red Button struck again, I long for the day when we score early and annihilate some opponent on Sky TV. Can't remember the last time I felt relaxed watching City on TV.

If only Weimann was half as good as he was last year.

I understand why O'Leary let in that soft second goal. Going solely on the Sky commentary, he was knackered from running up the touchline and putting all those crosses into the Cardiff penalty box in the first half.

Get the stretchers out. That's another three injuries at least.

Everyone's gone missing today. Pedestrian. lethargic and gutless. Where's the passion and energy gone? No point whinging about the injuries, as that is not the reason for the below-par performances all-round. As usual,, feel sorry for all those who travelled expecting the players to give a lot more.

If the authorities dig deep enough, they'll find that all the big, successful clubs in the Prem (and also some not-so-uccessful ones) are/have been breaking regulations. both financial and non-financial. That's the way of modern £ootball. All are/have been equally guilty. All the best to Man City for the remainder of this season. It's unlikely that anyone will beat Arsenal to the title, unless they implode.

Hate to say it, but (at the moment) Grealish is okay for me. Hopefully, he'll display his good attributes more often. The club has benefited substantially from the national exposure and all-round positive comments from certain highly-regarded people. This will certainly help us to secure some good signings in the near future.

"I know it sounds unbelievable Pep, but I honestly think I spotted a Rovers fan the other day . . . naaah ! I'm just pulling your leg!"

"Okay, okay Pep . . . . you've convinced me. It's agreed. You get Alex Scott and, in return we get both Foden and Haaland."

Eddie who? This thread has a bit of a Scott-ish twang to it.

Biggest gripe was the constant tooing and froing to the bogs, through the game, by people who, presumably can't hold their drink. Some of them seemed to spend as much time dashing to and from the loo, and doing their business, as watching the game, Worse still, it meant others were constantly having to stand up to let them in and out, and miss parts of the game, Happens every time, but last night was particularly bad. Not the club's fault.

Not the calibre of fan we want. Hopefully, he'll be fired. I suspect he's really an Arsenal fan.

That's a bit hard. Do you have any concrete evidence?

I hear the Downs League is looking for a public announcer. Sounds like it could be a match made in heaven for him . . . until he actually gets hold of the mic.

But apparently, Dick Emery's "Mandy" likes him, (Most older members on here might understand this. The young ones will think "what!!!?")

I was in the Dolman. When he repeated that previous substitution, people were saying he was making our club look amateurish. If so, hopefully, most of his announcements couldn't be clearly heard during the live coverage on national TV, Downsey and his mate Mic clearly aren't suited and the sooner they part company the better. Now that would be an announcment worth making,

Looking into the future . . . Haaland?

So, in addition to being good dancer . . . Nige is a lumberjack and he's okay, He sleeps all night and he works all day, In future, if he disagrees with any ref's decision, he can simply shout "Quantocks !"

I understand the sentiment, I honestly do, but Nige's lovely wife, Nicky, will probably be unwilling to share him with you. Regardless of that, there's already a large queue ahead of you. Get to the back !
