I repeat - there's no such thing!!
Indeed; right you are too, Mrs P.
Really hope so. Honestly, only Chelsea and Wolves are performances that pissed me off, and Wolves was the shittier one as it felt like a Conte throwback.
Chelsea was a combination of being the architects of our own downfall and God deciding to smite us after a really good start. Would love to have seen how that would have panned out 11 v 11.
Wolves was awful. We deserved to lose that game. A very un-Ange performance. After that I really thought the morale hit was too much and we’d struggle to keep up anything like the same football. Chelsea was just a classic case of being too revved up.
Villa eased concerns if anything. Performance not results, the former almost always ends up with the latter long term. If we play that way we will beat Newcastle & West Ham at home and be comfortably in the top four, then it’s just a case of a reasonable run of fixtures with injuries.
There's no point in complaining about life being unfair.........
But it's so unfair!
Poor Rod, hope he has the strength to get over this setback.
Damn Matt Cash, I'd love just two minutes with him.

Aye. I just keep thinking about how patchy Klopp's first results were with Liverpool because it was such an adjustment/demanding playing style and they were opening themselves up to conceding a lot of goals. Plenty of high scoring draws IIRC.
And we know that they needed multiple transfer windows to establish an elite side, and did not suffer an injury crisis in that first season like we currently are.
The league and officials are a complete embarrassment to the game. It's clear since dippers game we have been targeted.
The players sent off against us has been lumped in as mistakes like the offside goal and it's been twisted as if we somehow cheated the dippers. We did nothing wrong ffs and their players were justifiably sent off!
Who plays a game without a single yellow when they have been persistent fouling us the whole game? Fulham. Never seen that happen before! Not even a token card shown in the 96th minute so the stats show there was a card. Look at how Son got treated against Wolves. No fouls, no cards.
Look at how Chelsea scum had 6 different players all foul Maddison until he had to go off.
Butterfly tattoos made 6 fouls in 30 minutes not one booking. Romero plays the ball and gets sent off. Nobody will ever convince me that was a red. He got done because he somehow has a 'reputation'. You are not taught to go into tackles like a pussy, because you'll get hurt. He went in strong yes, but fair and totally played the ball. Look how no long term injury for the player, yet somehow he is an animal.
Fucking hell there is some strange shit going on here. How is it that every team feels we are blood rivals or something? They got to go out there and are fully enabled / endorsed by the refs to persistent foul / brutal foul everyone who looks like they are a threat. Basically other teams are allowed to go 1970s rules when they play Tottenham.
It's very surreal though seeing dippers and city play each other with such gentleness and less intensity than some nans knitting their jumpers. These cunts should be bitter rivals too. Zero even close to dirty tackles. Rodri doesn't get 6 fouls on him, dippers didn't try to break anyone's legs. Likewise Salah didn't get touched and no nasty fouls from City.
Let's enjoy the same spirit from City on Sunday then... But wait you can see it can't you, inside the first 30 minutes they'll kick us off the fucking pitch like dirty little rats. All while the ref pretends nothing is wrong.
Cash should have his yellow upgraded to red and instead of usual 3 match, because of the long-term injury he deliberately caused to his fellow professional he should be banned until Bentacur is fully fit again. That seems fair. Well not exactly fair but more just. I mean not like Villa will miss him anyway
As bad as shit is, unfortunately we have to accept the chances of it changing for the better are slim. All the media and pundits hate us so never seek to highlight anything that helps us. They sweep anything unjust against us under the carpet. It never happened.
The good thing is we have a manager who may just be able to get us to rise up above this bullshit so it doesn't tear us down. His outlook is refreshing and he seems to have the players fully backing him so we know whoever takes the pitch will be doing their upmost to carry out his orders. It seems we are going to suffer (even more than normal) for a while but this is all like training with weights around your ankles and on your back. We have heavy weights but it will make us stronger under Ange.

This lad can't catch a break.
Out until February FMD
Cash clearly should have had a red card. That tackle was far more dangerous than Romero’s.
They are so worried about leg breakers but don’t care about ligament breakers.

Andrew Bridgen accepted millions in loans from Reclaim backer
Former Conservative MP went on to join the hard-right party funded by Jeremy Hoskingwww.thetimes.co.uk
The former Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen took millions in personal loans from a financier before joining the donor’s controversial new political party.
Bridgen, who was expelled by the Tories in April but remains in parliament, received £3.9 million in loans from Jeremy Hosking to help fund a legal battle with his brother over the Bridgen family’s potato farm.
Bridgen, who represents North West Leicestershire, has denied the funding can be linked to political business, saying it solely related to a private and personal matter, but has now declared the sums to the Commons registrar because “with regard to quantum of assistance, the guidelines are more clear-cut”.
The issue of Conservative MPs defecting to other right-wing parties has become more prominent after Lee Anderson, the deputy chairman, alleged that Reform UK had offered him a job if he were to defect. Its leader, Richard Tice, denied offering money to Anderson or any other MP.
Bridgen lost the legal case against his brother and was branded “dishonest” by a judge. He was ordered to pay an £800,000 settlement and evicted from his country home after the dispute, which was covered by loans from Hosking.
There is no requirement for Hosking to have ensured disclosure of the loans, which is Bridgen’s responsibility, and there is no allegation of wrongdoing by the donor.
Bridgen is the only MP for the hard-right Reclaim Party, led by the actor turned right-wing populist Laurence Fox. Hosking is the party’s primary funder, having given it £3.2 million since 2020.
Hosking has given right-wing parties and Brexit campaigners £8.9 million since 2009, including £1.8 million to Vote Leave, £2.2 million to Reform UK, £230,000 to the Conservative Party and its MPs and £150,000 to Labour Leave.
The financier, who has a stake in Crystal Palace FC, made his money in the City as an investment manager. Outside of politics he is among the country’s foremost collectors of steam trains.
The legal battle between Bridgen and his brother came after the MP had accused AB Farms of forcing him out of a £93,000-a-year second job that required him to attend a monthly board meeting. The judge found that rather than being bullied out of the job, as he alleged, Bridgen resigned in order to reduce the amount he might owe his first wife, Jackie, in divorce proceedings.
Judge Brian Rawlings also found that Bridgen pressured a police inspector in his parliamentary constituency to launch a costly one-year investigation into allegations against his estranged younger brother, Paul Bridgen, 55, who runs the firm.
Bridgen has declared £43,600 in interest-free loans to cover accommodation costs of his constituency home from Hosking, as well as payments for political consultancy worth £75,000 and other support in relation to an unspecified legal matter worth £12,400 from Reclaim.
According to court documents, Bridgen also launched proceedings against Matt Hancock, the former health secretary, in May for calling him an antisemite on Twitter, after Bridgen compared the Covid-19 vaccination programme to the Holocaust. The claim form states that Bridgen is seeking £75,000 in damages from Hancock.
In response to the AB Farms judgement, Bridgen last year told The Sunday Times that “we live in an imperfect world” and said his legal team were “exploring all avenues with regard to legal options to obtain a just outcome”.
“If courts always got everything correct the first time there would be no need for appeal mechanisms,” he said, adding: “With regard to the legal disputes with the shareholders of the companies of which I am a major shareholder and with Matt Hancock, both of these cases remain ongoing and I will make statements when they are resolved.
“I would also point out any sum awarded by the court and any unspent legal funds regarding the action against Matt Hancock will all be going to a charity supporting the vaccine-injured and bereaved.”
Hosking said: “The record shows that Andrew Bridgen has been robust, courageous and above all independent in his parliamentary activities. I should state to you categorically that as far as I am aware, there has been no political or financial impropriety whatsoever in my relationship with Bridgen.”
Bridgen was suspended from the Conservative Party in January over his comments regarding the Covid-19 vaccine. He was then expelled outright in April.
I know this isn’t the right thing to think, but I hope very, very bad things happen to Matty Cash and I don’t give a flying fuck if it’s off the field.
So you basically are hoping his kitten gets run over by a car or his child falls face first onto the cement and breaks their teeth?
That’s fucked up.
He’s not safe anywhere
He’s the same clown that took out Doherty with a dangerous tackle isn’t he?
