Virgil off, second yellow card.
Rondon pulls him down by the arm and he falls into Rondon giving away a foul!!! This ref is an awayer…
Van Dijk gone, all from that skate JWP not crossing the ball properly, shit and a fucking shambles, Puel out.
That is a shit start to the New Year
Hmm … well that was shit
And you’ve been doing so well recently, too…nevermind, Bazza…New Year, new start, right?

Fuck that, why change if you’re right?
Booo and a half.
Can’t comment on the game as I didn’t see it.
We’re going to miss VvD. Just one game I suppose?
All valid views Bazza, and you might be right.
I guess it might be the way you convey your opinion - as well as the frequency of it, that people might not appreciate.
Time for another raid on Celtic? Dembele scored again today…
I do feel it’s time for a change. Even if that change is formation or just less rotation. Fair enough, we’ve been royally fucked by Sky and the fixtures over Christmas but rotation only works when you’ve got equally good replacements. Martina and Yoshida aren’t. I’m concerned that players aren’t picking up individual form or momentum by being in and out of the team a lot.
Tottenham are a bogey team of ours so fair enough we lost that one but we should not be losing to Pulis at home.
At least we’ve got a great record at Goodson Park… 
We simply have a very average team that wouldn’t be anywhere near the top half if not for VVD. We need a complete and total rebuild in the summer.
Ive always defended Yoshida and Martina, but based on today that would now seem foolish. They were complete shit. But then again, so was Forster. And everyone else.
I really don’t get it. We can play brilliantly for about 15-20mins and then we just turn to shit, run around a bit, give the ball away and never look like scoring. Why is this happening? It’s been going on for too long now. It’s either players out of form or poor management. You cant keep saying we’ll be better next time. I worry that our position is a bit of a lie and that we could end up free falling. We cannot score and now it looks like the defence have lost the plot. I’m beginning to have doubts about Puel. I don’t like feeling like this. I want to give him time but just have a bad feeling about whats happening to us. I cannot see our better players wanting to stay if we end up being in the bottom half.
Boo fucking hoo! Waaaaaaah! Happy new Year!

Thank fuck I’m not spending the evening with Bazza - not sure I could take it
Thing is Baz, Puel and JPW may well be out of their depth but that doesn’t make them cunts or a twats.
Your passion’s admirable but hurling personal insults about is just a plain old childish tantrum.

A mild retraction Bletch, have some balls and say I am right but a twat, it would be better for all and also give continuity.
Ok then, they’re fucking shite who shouldn’t be near my football team and our black box is a cunt and an x box.

Dembele is for greater things and teams.
Happy New Year Everyone!
If he carries on like he is, you’re probably right
Ref bottled sending off their left back just before half time.
We absolutely battered them in that first half. Canoe should have been booked in the first ten minutes (4 fouls) and should have been sent off for cuffing McQueen.
West Brom were fucking awful but we made them look good in the 2nd half. Never got going.
Tadic was piss poor but it seems wrong to single him out when there was so much competition for duffers.
Boufal needs to cut out the falling over and stop storming straight down the tunnel at the final whistle. That way lies wankerdom and he’s too good for that.
Ho hum. A shit end to the year but at least we’ve got Brexit, Trump and Goodison without Virgil to look forward to.
Now where’s that rum?

It was as clear as day that they should have been down to ten men before half time, and then it’s a completely different game - perhaps we might even have had more space to create some actual chances.
And how many warnings for time wasting is a keeper allowed before a proper ref does something??
I realise the bloke reffing today won a competition and it was his first ever go, but honestly…
We have been royally fucked over by refs this week - but that has been overshadowed by our own poor performances.
Not a great way to end the year, but it is only football.
