Today....

Pffft.

We didn't play badly as such-we were just mediocre, as were they. If they had been half-decent, we'd have got a hiding. Likewise they.

Did I hear that Wes got MOTM? Would have gone for Russell Martin. Cisse was anonymous for them aside from that chance after about three seconds. And Obertan? Oh dear oh dear, who has he bribed?

They pushed us back and applied pressure on the back 4 throughout. Passes going astray, in touch or back to them-and the crosses, well, they weren't crosses were they, it was a case of man kicks the ball across the width of the pitch.

Puzzled the Snod taken off unless he had a knock. Would have taken Pilks off at that stage.

Jacko's teammates don't do him any favours by banging the long balls upfield, Jacko vs Collicini, no contest-poor old Jacko looked like a seven year old trying to get his ball back from the fifteen year old bullies.

Noted that, time and time again, they had three men closing down on whoever was our attacking player. Also that, at one stage in the first half, the player on their right kept getting so much space it was if he had a restraining order put on him.

And Anita takes a mean corner (!) -yes mate, it was your studs, we believe you...
