Well, thanks for coming Africa. See you in 2022.

It was good, but almost ruined for me by Jonathan Pearce's inane prattle.

Sane left out of Germany's squad. Think that might come back to bite them on the arse as he offers the pace and power they otherwise lack in their squad.

Are you seriously comparing a guy who scored a brace against Argentina at a World Cup.....to Elvis Hammond? Musa is far from being a great player, but he's definitely not Elvis Hammond bad.

Has some good attributes, most notably his speed. But his technique on the ball is sadly lacking. I'd give him another look in preseason though.

No, I think it was the fact he wasn't a particularly good goalkeeper.

The general rule of thumb these days is that any young player who can vaguely kick a ball in the direction they intended is dubbed the 'new Messi'.

I'll give you this though. If the ref played advantage after the first handball because he thought Vardy had the opportunity to run onto the ball, and then the defended handled it again in the area, he could have given a penalty. But I think it all happened too quickly for him to play advantage...

Hardly surpising given how much weight he's piled on in recent years. He's a right Tubby Tubson now.

The rule regarding 'continuation' (an offense first ocurring outside the penalty area which then continues inside the area) only applies to holding back a player, not handball.

This pretty much sums up my sentiments. I'd wanted to give him time, but I can't defend the indefensible. That 'effort' today was up there with one of the worst I've seen from a City team, and there's some stiff competition. Puel might even be trolling us now with his decisions. Benny at right...

Stop bullying him you meanie.

I would agree with this. A squad overhaul is long overdue. Sure, Puel's selections, tactics and style should obviously be questioned, but it's player recruitment that has been the major problem since winning the title. Even if we were still playing a more direct, counter attacking style, I doubt...

Oooh you are awful........but I like you!

I was checking radiation shields.

I thought Chelsea played pretty well in Barcelona, and if they repeat that standard I fear they will be too good for us. They created some good chances, and only really lost because they have a bow-legged giraffe for a goalkeeper. Hopefully the Chelsea that got humped by Bournemouth and Watford...

Looked to me like we went 3-5-1-1.

Did you not see Watford away?

Incredibly frustrating game to watch. I felt we deserved the equaliser, but honestly couldn't see where it was going to come from until Mahrez stepped up. Thankfully I resisted my urge to leave and stayed to witness it. Bournemouth were awful, and a bunch of time wasters to boot. We were too...

Maybe later.

Hey, we all have our ways of coping with grief.

Kasper is weird. He spent the last 5 minutes of the Swansea game in a rage, jabbing his finger at all and sundry. If Swansea hadn't already settled for the draw they could have won, because Kasper had lost his head and wasn't concentrating on the game.

He really was an awful manager, wasn't he?

Turns out the world is just a great big onion.

I am now sad again. Carole Smilie's daughter failed get any of the judges to turn around on the blind auditions of The Voice. Bastards.

It's your post. Proof read it yourself.

And token "man on ostrich".

I only ever watch the pundits at halftime or fulltime if there is a particular incident that I'd like to see again. If not, I switch over/off. They could have Bernie Clifton and Sheik Abu Hamza on as pundits for all I care.

Shit, now that I think about it, it did ask me for my bank account number and sort code.

Despite today's result I'm now feeling rather chipper. The slip of paper in the fortune cookie that came with my vegetable chow mein said I'm going to be rich, and fortune cookies are never, ever wrong.

The good news is that there is no reason not to play our strongest team for this one. The bad news is, that after today's debacle against Man City, I have no idea what our strongest team is.

Rest assured, I'm sure Jeff will give his arse a thorough cleansing before Friday.

I'd tell him to feck off and come back when it's time to play next season's Chackatrade Trophy.

First time Riyad's ever been early for training.

On the bench at best I reckon. The only definite winners here are Sky Sports. Watch them go into hype overdrive.

I have absolutely no interest in what you're getting up to right now.

What with this and us playing at Manchester City on Saturday it seems like an appropriate time to relive this.

I thought they tasted a bit 'different'.

I would settle for some Cheesy Wotsits.

I think it'll be the same team and formation that started against Swansea. Looking short on forward options off the bench with Oka injured. Probably be a routine 3-1 win for Man City. Hope I'm wrong.
