As a club, as a team we are just too nice.
We always look to do the right thing, play the right way, show deference and politeness in everything we do.

It’s time we changed that mentality.

Nice guys win fuck all.

You need a level playing field. Mings cocks up, but the confidence is shattered, as what hope have you got when decisions like that are given?

I'm fucking livid. I hope we are second half and kick the living fuck out of them.

Our players would miss.

Keane's right.  That second goal is all about Mings fucking right up, it's not about the time added on.  Fact is, if he doesn't fuck up they don't score and we go in 0-1.

You may be right but where did the extra time come from? Go in 0-1 and Dean would have had a very different HT team talk

Perhaps this is why Bournemouth did not want Mings at this level.

The problem this season has been the prolonged meek acceptance of low standards. Low standards of fitness, low standards of coaching, low standards of game management, players repeatedly not delivering, low standards of recruitment.

That second goal was a perfect example. Mings lingering, taking care to cover his bollocks, Greenwood given all the time he wants to shoot, our 74 year old goalkeeper not getting anywhere near it.

Yeah we played well for spells, and yeah, the penalty was never a penalty, but sorry, even taking that into account, it's not good enough and it hardly has been at all this season.

No, we never get anything out of Man United, but the point is, it was the pathetic acceptance of low standards that left us in a desperate situation where we HAVE to get three points.

Just not good enough, and I can not believe Edens and Sawiris have pumped all the money in and then just watched it all get pissed away like that.

If they decide they've had enough, we are properly fucked.

Spot on.  Did you hear Keane at half time.  It was absolutely spot on and has summed up our season.  Mind you he was shit when he was here as well.

I'm not a huge fan of him either but he said in his book when here players struggled to turn up for training on time and generally moaned you shouldn't expect top performances as they didn't get paid like the top teams! Wasn't a fan of Benteke or Gabby either.

By today's standards, that is a penalty.
