Match Thread v Arsenal

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I got a link to work at 3.05, we were already 1-0 down, I watched for a couple of minutes and then thought 'feck this for a game of soldiers' and went back to the horse racing on ITV. Seems like it was a good decision.

By jove old chap that was one hell of a solid decision. My own weekend is wrecked.

8-year-old grandson devastated.

25 year-old-son appeared to be suicidal.

Wife says can she stay at home until we are back in the Championship.

Me? I'm looking at Solo golfing holidays in the sun.

I don't think VK had given up otherwise why pick up 3 on loan in Jan. After today I am not sure, had to be one of the worst ever from BFC. On a par with 6-1 with City I remember. Cannot see where a win is coming from but who knows.

The reason for it is that VK hasn’t given up on surviving in the PL yet. He is a winner with a never say die attitude. I’ve been against loaning players from the start. It’s like steroids… faster growth but not sustainable. Maybe come April we’ll see some of the players from last season again. If he doesn’t give them any time in the PL it’s pointless to have them fight for promotion again next year. Then he’ll have to yet again change most of the team to try to survive.

Good points WP. The 3 on loan last year were a very significant part of the team not just fill ins.

Still not calling for VK to go because he has already made a .... up. At the beginning of the season he dropped or let go all the players that won the championship and brought in some 12/13 players to begin. This must have caused much unrest in the dressing room. Then when it was clear his new players were not up to it he started to drip feed players from the championship winning team and it was clear that they were felt hard done by and there are at least 2 players who were part of that championship team who continue to be left out Benson and Muric). Basically this methodology is showing that the players have no believe in the way VK wants to play. We are PASSIVE with no PRIDE or PASSION or no CHARACTER, no AGGRESION and the thing is no matter what happens on the pitch there is not one player taking responsibility for any of these named traits. I have said it before this group of players are a bunch of cowards all feared of putting in challenges. The blame has got to be placed at VK's door he has bought and made the decisions that have led to this current malaise at the club. I support and will continue to support the Clarets until I die. The thing is I got completely drenched and all the players could do is to capitulate the whole match they are all PATHETIC and should donate their wages to charity as they did not earn the right to play professional football.

One moment from yesterday perfectly summed up our clueless, classless, could not care less f*ucking attitude, Kai Havertz who is probably Germany's worse ever footballing export was allowed to pick up a throw-in, waltz off down the touchline, breeze past O'Shea & Delcroix and slot one past Trafford.

That f*cking idiot Piers Morgan is calling it a "mini-Maradona" moment. Sorry to burst the ejit's bubble but Havertz was playing against Burnley not f*cking Barcelona.

Well at least the last time we were humiliated I seem to remember Stan offered up his resignation
