Great cross Taylor. We just can't score.

Neil

Wish Berge would pull the trigger more often. He's so reluctant to shoot.

Bournemouth look abysmal here. If we don’t win this game there’s absolutely zero hope

They've got in three or four times and look more likely to score than we do.

Neil

Poor effort from Vitinho but he's having a decent game. Running at defenders and being positive.

Neil

Decent start

and City haven't scored the best goal of the game ! 3-1

What a lovely looking goal wasn't it?

Would have looked even better if the keeper had dived.

Neil

Look at the league table. If we'd have won just 3 more games (and that would be 6 from 26) we'd at least be in a fight. We can't still do this, we just have to wait until we're put out of our misery. I turned my phone off for 48 hours after we were relegated at home to Newcastle (childish but I coul...

Neil

Nobody should learning from their mistakes once a year. He should be learning and adapting every single week, not looking back in May and thinking maybe I should have dropped Trafford in November or realising the squad was too young and inexperienced to compete. There's no two ways about it, he's me...

Neil

Decent performance, just unlucky that we ran into a keeper who had his best ever game as a professional.
I'm definitely feeling glad all over.

Neil

Benson on, comeback starts here

Get Benson on for the love of god. Why not, we're down anyway.

Nah this is clearly a job for Vitinho

Neil

Some summer signings though have been given less time than others. Tresor, whose name you raised, has only had 400 minutes, about half of that out of position. Hardly time to adapt, and hardly favouritism. Loads of players for the big clubs do little in their first 500 minutes then come good. I don...

Neil

Well Tresor seems to have fallen out of favour after a few unsatisfactory performances. And I’ve personally not seen a lack of application from Ramsey. Definitely an inability to impact a game but that’s another matter. I don’t really think he’s shown loyalty to this summer’s signings, the team has...

Neil

But we don’t actually know if they can come on and turn a game in our favour against this level of opposition. We know Odobert can create chances and score goals, but he’s still a passenger for the majority of each match. I would have loved nothing more than to see Zaroury and Benson tear up the Pr...

Neil

It’s really disappointing that Zaroury hasn’t really featured this season and I agree with the gist of your post. But I don’t agree when people claim that players haven’t had an opportunity to prove themselves at this level. That players train day in day out, 90% of their job is away from matchday....

Neil

I'd be after a permanent move if I was him. If your boss treated you that way in any other job you'd be away first chance you got. I can understand Cullen being discarded because he had a good run of games at the start of the season and didn't look up to the job. But Zaroury just hasn't had the same...

Neil

Cool, that makes sense. From My perspective I enjoyed the fact that the club didn’t buy into all of the myths about football… that you could only play one way, that you had to spend huge money on over valued footballers with questionable morals and attitudes, and I enjoyed that hard work, endeavour...

Neil

The best case scenario for next season is a repeat of last season which I believe is highly unlikely though a hard fought promotion is not impossible. I don't think I'll enjoy it as much as last time round though as we now know what's waiting for us. I keep reading that Kompany will learn from his m...

Neil

I'm sure at some point someone will start a thread asking to sum up this season in one word. That will be mine - Tresor.

Neil

It's just not fun anymore. No hope, no expectation.

I don't mind anyone doing that, but I need to understand it at least.

None of my business but it's being implied that you have a meal.in corporate hospitality then James Trafford gives you a wave when the teams come out.
Another thread that's gone way off track.

Neil

Definite foul on Ramsey,but only if he went to ground holding his leg! Var would have been used, but it would have gone Liverpools way anyway. Wasn't that Ramey's only contribution yesterday? No, he also miscontrolled the ball when in on goal right before half time. Most annoying thing about yester...

Neil

I think its fair to say VK has his favorites and his dislikes, unless someone can prove me wrong. Its possible for some of those categorised as DISLIKES that he fears they do not have the necessary skills AMONGST FAVORITES-Trafford, O Shea (although he has earned it), Vitinho, Ramsey, Amdouini, Lar...

Neil

My take on the matter for what it's worth.... I said at the end of last season that I'd be surprised if Muric was our starting keeper in the prem. My opinion was that we'd more likely need a keeper like Pope (great shot stopper) as we'd be under a lot more pressure and be facing a lot more shots. We...

It’s draining. I never thought it would happen but my love and passion for BFC is nothing like it was.

That's quite a mic drop coming from you Tony. We've been a lot worse over the years, obviously. What's making you so despondent?

Neil

Glass half full it was only 3-1
Half empty they did what they had to which was the bare minimum
Expected result and I can understand both arguments on the match thread (embarrassingly easy v they're the best team in the world)

Neil

Vitinho picks out Ake with ease

Neil

Give Massengo half an hour. What possible harm could it do?

Nice early night for the fat lady

My Buccaneers went on to have a fantastic season way above the expectations of every non-buc "expert" in pre-season so it's been a great season. I don't like either team and was hoping the Lions would win it all after beating us and my man crush for Coach Dan Campbell, but i guess i'd take the Nine...

Starts todays game on the bench

Familiar surroundings will help him then.

Neil

I remember when we signed Davis back from Luton. We were dire at the time and heading back to div 4. You wouldn't think a centre half could make such a big difference to a team.

Neil

Took me ages and when it finally loaded the screen was tiny so had to turn phone sideways.

Neil

The Buffalo missed fg curse, he won't be back next season!

Banks are closing branches at an alarming rate because they aren't really needed. My parents are in their mid seventies and bank online. Security is pretty good on online banking on your phone and you should get an alert immediately if any unusual activity occurs on your account. Most bank fraud com...

First game is living up to those recent play off games. The four in the uk studio have either gone for the Ravens or the 49’s which is hard to argue against that. Think Detroit might cause an upset. Looking forward to the games though. Yeah but there's no outstanding team this year so it could be a...

Neil

Haven't had a vested interest in the play offs for a long time (Broncos fan) but the last few years has seen some brilliant play off games which have been really enjoyable for the neutral.
As always, anyone but the Chiefs for me but I couldn't pick a winner this year.

Neil

We have lost 15 out of 21 games this season. In what stretch of the imagination is that being competitive? He means we have become competitive in individual games over the last 6 weeks or so whereas earlier in the season we were being torn apart easily. I don't get the original post though - how ca...

Neil

We often hear that ex pros should be involved with var as they have a better understanding of the game. But I've seen some tv and looked at social media this morning and there's quite a split from former players on last nights decision. What's subjective and what isn't now? I haven't got a clue anym...

Need to sort the amount of space they're getting down their right hand side at half time. Wide open spaces down there.

Try Melatonin tablets. You can buy them online. Makes you feel naturally tired about an hour after taking one. No side effects and no grogginess the next day.

Two of the most unlikeable players in the league at Newcastle. I don't think I've ever seen Almiron or Gordon get fouled and simply get up. Every time they go down in complete agony and roll about the floor only to get up 5 seconds later like nothing happened.

Neil

It’s such a strange season, I’ve never seen the fan base be so divided on their opinions of certain players. Muric, Trafford, Delcroix, O’Shea, Amdouni, Foster, Tresor, Larsen, Cullen, Brownhill, Vitiniho, Al Dakhil, have split most folk right down the middle. It makes interesting reading but some ...

Neil

Lots of retired or nearing retired folk on this thread.
I thought I was old at 50

I'm fine with it now the dreaded first day is over and will be glad to get back into a routine.
Could have died when the alarm went off this morning though!

Neil

You retired in the middle of school year?
Congratulations.

God it's depressing

Neil

Benson was a joy to watch at times last season and in my opinion was probably our most exciting player, but it's easy to forget that he played less than 1500 minutes. For context that's about 35% of a 46 game season. Some of that was due to injury, but he also started a lot of games on the bench. T...
