Really really disappointing second half. We weren’t just beaten we were outfought as well, that doesn’t sit comfortably with me
‘Leaders’ and ‘fighters’ needed in the first team, desparately.

No more pathetic than the Albion kid who’s dad sanctioned him writing a can I have your shirt please Bruno sign? What is it with these entitled little shits and their no standards parents?
We looked quite good first half and then rubbish second half. Very disappointing and we will really need to improve on most of our performances this season if we are to have a chance of staying up next season. Another emotional rollercoaster of a season over, another to come. Up The Albion.

Being a fan I was hoping for a miracle as I do every match day, but I knew all along that we was going to play like that and get stuffed.
I would love to know if Stephens and March were really injured, even in a game that doesn't matter we can't try something different at home.
Can't believe Cardiff won 2-0, that would have been us down today if Palace did not turn up.
But we survived and live to fight another day, so I am grateful for that, but we need the best close season we have ever had.
Anyway, I'm off to the beach for the summer in Greece.
It's been fun.

Because we’re not as RICH as them. That’s all. Trouble is you were introduced to football when it used to be a sport.

Probably cost a few million each..
Of course we will be one of the relegation favourites next season - we were this season. and we were last season. What sort of swivel-eyed loon would think we shouldn't be?
Hopefully we'll buy two or three that are quality this summer, rather than a job-lot of wannabes and maybes, and be slightly higher up the expectations next season.

They rushed to confirm him as manager and they've been largely shite ever since. His old team Cardiff as well!
Did you even watch the game? No way we rolled over in that first half

So much for the players 'giving it their all' for Bruno. Same empty platitudes as before the Cardiff game.

Well, this. You have to go back to post war until the early 70s for a regular open league and revolving champions. If you look at Italy in recent times, Germany, elsewhere, the patterns of domination are there.
The consolation is we are playing in a league with two of the best sides ever seen on these shores. Probably the best. The downside is that we make up the numbers.
It was if they’d decided to let us have one and as soon as we got it they got on with the business of owning us.
I know our fight is won but I don’t like seeing such celebration on our pitch from an away team.

100% effort costs nothing apart from fitness though and although I know they had far more riding on the game and it was a “doesn’t matter” game for us, I hoped for more spirit until the end. Story of the latter part of the season, go a goal down and heads go down
The last 20 minutes were an embarrassment to me.
Good first half though and 30 seconds of absolute joy.

I’d definitely want to watch PL football over any other.
But I do think ManC are and will dominate in the same way that Bayern, Celtic and PSG do.
I can’t quite believe that Spurs and Liverpool have been able to get so close to them, but it’s still never enough.
City can afford 25 high quality players, whereas no other team on the planet can. Before the season started, City were the first ever odds-on favourites to win the PL. The bookies were right yet again.

35 goals this year compared to 34 last season. 36 next season?

No.
Once City had made more sensible use of Mahrez and Sterling the signs were there.
Albion set out to 'give it a go'. They were soon forced in to defensive mode and couldn't change that.
It's not a question of being 'on the beach' it's a question of being utterly outclassed by one of the best teams on the planet.

People need a reality check.
We had a go first half but then the legs went and we just couldn’t compete. This claim we didn’t try is nonsense we couldn’t get the ball off one of the best teams we will ever see at the Amex and who have just one 14 on the spin. We are also missing four first team regulars today in a game that really meant nothing to us but everything to the opposition.
And for those slaughtering Murray, yes he had a poor game today no doubt but he has scored 25 goals over two premier league seasons we would be nowhere without him. He has also scored or assisted our last three goals, yes he is slowing up but he is still contributing to the part of the game we as a team find the hardest to do.
