    Another bad result for my boys! Turning into a bit of a crisis now!

    Are Norwich in free fall? What's caused it?

    Not sure what's caused it? We sit 6th in the table but he needs and the team to start turning things around? Or at best it will end up being a dog fight for the playoffs? Was sort of hoping for second spot as Newcastle I think will wrap the championship up quite comfortably.

    I thought the same Geordi's to finish top with Norwich second, looking at the table from third downwards very tight a couple of wins keeps you in the mix, the Christmas run of games always shakes things up.

    I will happily accept your prediction if we finish second? :)) I am just pleased that we managed to keep the defeat down to just one goal in the end to QPR. As it could have quite easily become an embarrassment!

    Probably the Holloway effect, was it his first game back at QPR?

    More often than not a team will bust a gut when a new manager comes in, Man United dropped many a point over the years in that scenario.

    Yeah it was his first game due to the international break. Their is still 29 games to play as it is such a long league campaign.

    Another draw from Man United at home, it pains me to say we won't finish top four this season. We are relying on too many teams to collapse, though the team still needs to fight till the end.

    Another loss and the old vote of confidence from the board? Hmmmmm?!!

    Leeds are running Liverpool ragged in second half of EFL Cup game, one of the few occasions I root for Leeds hope they can nick a winner.

    Well that thumping was eventually going to happen to someone after our poor run of form? Sorry Brentford!

    Liverpool have had a second half collapse, credit to Bournemouth, Liverpool were 3 - 1 up, lost 4 - 3

    @RogueAgent bet you are relieved after that run

    LFC deserved every bit of that. No matter who the manager is, this club can't finish. It's been an issue for years.

    Absolutely! Just read the FA Cup 3rd round draw, and no doubt our ex player Nathan Redmond who was amazing for us will put us out! :)) X_X

    Great result for Leicester reality check for Pep 4 - 2 final score, Leicester were 4 - 0 at one point.

    Man United need to beat Spurs tomorrow, there is a glimmer for Jose to mount a challenge [-O<

    Full Time Man United 1 - 0 Spurs that was stressful let's hope it's a foundation to build on, United really do have to start converting more chances.
