I'll take that all day long.
Absolutely NO one before today has lost to Ipswich ... So to 'expect' to isn't exactly being unrealistic!
Same as no one had lost to Palace before we sauntered into town with our stinking elitist attitude...
It's not like we're pissed off about losing away to City as and when we do... That IS expected, and even more likely now, given City's recent run of form!
We coulda been 3rd tonight with the way results went...
But that would merely be papering over the cracks, so maybe a blessing in disguise.
We're not even flat track bullies anymore, not after gifting Winless Palace and Ipswich their 'expected wins'!!

I hate how he treats Europa, (like most our recent managers tbf) Gala was a tough but exciting fixture, what's the point of even turning up for a game like that if you are going to make 6-8 changes and get completely outplayed most the game, just so we can rest players and still lose (for the 3rd time in a row now) on the sunday. I want to see our best team available played in every Europa game, start taking it seriously again, we should have been aiming for at least top 4 with qualification guaranteed by Christmas. He says he is a winner well what is stopping him from winning Europa? So we can rest players for the over hyped boring PL with the aim of finishing 4/5th. What a dream...
Jesus... Ange Cultists are funny...
Yeah... I mean... Ange only picks the team and is responsible for the tactics we play. He was the one who waited until 10 mins to go until making a sub. He insists on playing this dogshit naive system that any and every decent coach can counter easily.
But yeah...
Nothing to do with the manager... obviously...
Gonna need a stewards enquiry on that one
Horrific results those- unbelievably bad. I'm sure we'll lose Wolves away and probably at home too...

He's kind of right though. If we have VdV playing and Richarlison off the bench and we aren't in the Europa midweek, we look good.
The health of the squad may be the difference. Every team has injuries, but we always seem to have a few more. I think we have a chance at top four but a lot will depend on Son staying healthy and Solanke getting in form.
In our last 5 league matches, we’ve lost 3-2 at Brighton after leading 0-2. We’ve handed the first and only wins of the season to Bottom 3 sides Crystal Palace and Ipswich. It is our worst start to a season over first 11 games since we were bottom in 2008/09.
That all adds up to playing crap in my book.
Yeah, it's the timeline BEFORE Fergie left that is where the comparison ends...
It's not like Ange has 15 years of relentless and multiple trophy wins to have to live up to, is it?
3 points away from 3rd tho....maybe things will turn hey? i mean theres been absolutely no sign in the last 12 months that things are going to get better! in actual fact the evidence points to the opposite. but we can blindly hope cant we?
Tbh i think poch was treated badly and perhaps too polite for own good. Craved a rebuild 8 months before he was sacked. Should have banged on levys door and said back me or i leave. In end hung out to dry.
i dont know how many ppl in here play hattrick the only game
but in that game you need to be very patience as to form a team or sale a player for over 10 million can take 2 years
i know it will never happen but iam at a point of thinking we would be better to just sale every player and play only with the youth 4 the next 3 to 4 years and at year 5 we will get to win the prem

He is a complete and utter numpty.
The biggest issue for me is that we can play like we did against Man City and Aston Villa but produce the dross like against Palace and today .
For me it is all about mentality , from manager through to coaching staff and obviously the players .
For me it's mostly on the players , there is no way that the coaching staff set up to play so meekly .
The players showed no heart today and no passion in front of their own fans and that simply isn't good enough .
What's the answer , well plenty saying get rid of Ange , but does that really sort the problem , next bloke up has to solve the same issue , complacency . Sure Ange has to do things better , his subs today have me scratching my head .
It's a rot within the club , from the top down , no winners mentality .
They're not going to make a change in the international break.
However, what they should be doing is laying groundwork in case a change needs to be made eventually. Whoever they think would be an ideal candidate (God knows who they'd be thinking of), there should be some whispers going on in the background. We know it happens everywhere, we did it for months with Mourinho before we eventually brought him in.
If they're just keeping their fingers in their ears and saying we're all in, come what may. That is incompetence. They need to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
