BlueLion.

Genuinely gutted Arsenal didn't sign him now.

Don't rush him back, FFS. A goalkeeper is the least of our problems right now. I'm quite happy for Thibaut's reputation as the second best GK in the world to not be besmirched by playing behind that defence.

This is like the Mikel situation all over again, but this time José is trying to make a winger/second striker turn into a LB.

Of course it won't, but lets hope it continues a little while longer.

Yep, shit club. That Ward-Prowse is shit as well

Such an amazing talent. Genuinely amazed how he's come on. Came into the Lyon team in 2010-ish, around the same time as Ishak Belfodil, and I always thought Belfodil was the bigger talent of the two

What a bunch of pussies. "Drogba's gone so we're going to implode". You can imagine us wheeling him out in a wheelchair when he's 76 with Paulo Ferreira's great-grandson playing right-back as we battle to avoid the drop to the Evostik Southern Premier.

The best thing about this season is we now know the answer to "where were you when you were shit?". We're shit now, and we're all still here.

We're that spectacularly shite at the minute that we could re-draw Bradford in the FA Cup, go 4-0 up, this time, and still fuck it up.

Hard to stick the ball in the back of the net when the players behind you are the midfield equivalent of a kitchen blender. Some wonderful quality fruits and vegetables being mashed into some putrid shit through stale tactics and burned-out players.

This. Also: Eden Hazard. I don't think he has the stomach to be one of the best. To be a truly brilliant player you need to have a selfish, ruthless streak. I don't think Eden has a nasty bone in his body.

The same logic should be applied to Emenalo as with Mourinho: one poor spell should not overshadow a previously prosperous relationship.

Even Azpi would have got a kicking from Shaqiri on Saturday. By far and away his best performance for Stoke so far.

He deserves an incredible amount of criticism based on this season, but it is this kind of disrespect that José certainly does not deserve.

Willian is no more than an 8/10 player, and even when he has an off day (like yesterday for the most part), the fact he is still comfortably our best player is deeply disconcerting.

That was his best showing of the season. He looked hungry. That might be why he's put weight on

From that range and with the strike having sufficient power, I disagree wholeheartedly. Did well to even get a hand to it.

12 points or José has to go. No excuses.

He wasn't even at the game last night and people are holding him accountable

Yet we've also brought some wonderful players in January transfer windows... Anelka, Ivanovic, and more recently Matic.

This image has no bearing on this thread but it's funny. So enjoy.

A win is a win.

I thought we were very good in the first half, and okay in the second when they came on quite strong. Pleased with the character we showed to get the win. Shows the togetherness of the team.

Judging from his miss, he's clearly the player who'd rather lose for José than win
