Nobody with half a brain, thought we would be near the top 6 this season without or without Pearson. Most predicted mid table - 10-14th place which is where we are and where we will likely end up. Preston are a bogey team for us, and yes i agree - today was shite. I actually dozed off. The bottom line is the players are what they are - midtable. I dont see why we have to self flaggelate after every poor/average performance.

If you are going to pick a whipping boy for todays performance, at least pick one from the right area of the pitch

I think its that he is such a good pro - the manager knows what he is gonna get from him. With his engine he can play anywhere upfield. You might be correct about playing upfront more, but that depends who is around him at the time. 51 goals and 29 assists in 216 games is a very good return for someone played in multiple positions. Quality player

I mean - its a bit ridiculous, but the bloke is trying to make a living. Harsh to be too critical

One of our best players in recent years - what an engine on him. Well respected by the younger players too - a real pro and a role model. Good luck to him, and at least he is closer to home now. Not sure how much game time he will get at WBA, but best of luck.

Playing it out from the back defender like a lot of teams prefer to play nowadays. An era and style defining player. RIP

An iconic player. @Kid in the Riot will be upset. A Welsh legend

So sad. Talk about modern players playing out from the back - he was years ahead of his time. RIP

Id taken my eyes off the game, momentarily, and pretty much went through the same thought process as you describe. Just put the bloody flag up as soon as you see the offside

Go and be weird somewhere else. Im fed up of threads being polluted by I love Nige / I hate Nige. If you want to talk about that, start a new thread. This is about something else.

Great goal though wasn't it? Perfect position for a striker to take the ball, and a brilliant touch. Also a laser like finish. A few hundred grand Embarrassing I reckon that will do Tommy the world of good

He seems to have some fitness now and performing like we hoped he would when we signed him. Fair play to him - been decent recently and that pass today was beautiful.

Gotta be the slags at home. Very much overdue

This has not aged particularly well…

Just enjoy the result mate.

Either that or he is just a fan, enjoying Tommy's cracking goal.

I still love the FA Cup. Big away crowds, no bloody VAR. Proper rough and tumble. What a fantastic result for us.

Hehehe Epic Fail.

Mowbray is deemed an "old school manager", but he really isn't. Teams play good football, and he is not scared to blood young players. Birmingham would be mental to not give him a contract.

Windbags, who overuse, commas in rambling posts, often in the wrong places, to make a point.

Sky presenters have been great. Whats to complain about? Fantastic tournament.

Superb final so far.

You do know that Goldcar is owned by Europcar? They are fairly reputable.... All companies try and upsell, for example, zero excess car insurance. You just have to be a bit savvy. I dont understand what these "ridiculous extras" could be?

Goldcar pretty competitive in Spain. Go for the quick pickup option, and avoid the queues - you put you c card in the machine and the keys drop out. You have to register etc beforehand
