Yes, stayed up, Swansea and Norwich were 11th and 12th

QPR beating us 3-0 at home in September was a seriously grim experience. We were so so bad.

So bad we made Joey Barton look like a footballer

They played an hour with 10 men from memory Cisse got sent off

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yep, they went 1-0 up then Cissé got himself sent off through being a fool.

 

[Alan]

I regret steering us toward this conversation. Bury that season, actually.

Cost us the following week in the game that should never be spoke of. MM put on attacking players at QPR and went on to win the game and then picked them all the following Sunday.
They ripped us to shreds.

A midfield 2 in actual Premier League game of Edwards and O'Hara, what could possibly go wrong?

I had a feeling of trepidation and excitement when I heard the team that day.

The former was clearly the correct emotion!

For a manager so pragmatic, it was such a massive gamble.

A PL manager decided those two and then 4 up front was an acceptable strategy with a back 4 who were all shit. It’s making me angry thinking about it.

What went on afterwards was a farce, the sacking was perfecting justified though

Seb Larsson missing that penalty kept him in a job.

It’s crazy thinking this was only 12 years ago. As YW said, feels a completely different era. But we were pretty much playing 90s football under MM

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We were just weird. Like we got a point at both Arsenal and Spurs in his final 6 weeks despite clearly being rubbish.

He lost me after Everton away, "that's how we play away from home". Yeah, it's crap though isn't it mate.

Though not a day goes by that I'm not thankful we didn't actually get Bruce or Curbishley afterwards.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This ain't a red card, is it. Though increasingly Blues fans have had enough of Dion.

[Dire Wolf]

If that's a red card most games should be finishing as 7 v 7.

Edit: on first watch I didn't notice his studs down the shin, I just thought he ran into him. But yes, 2nd look he leaves his foot high, it's not an unequivocal red, but I can see why it is given.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Tbh I’m struggling why you think it’s not a red. Cowards challenge.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Leading with the studs, high and nowhere near the ball. Maybe doesn't make all that much contact but it's a terrible challenge.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's a slow mo red, but things always look worse like that. It wouldn't be overturned by VAR but I would need to see it at full pace to have a view.
