[Albion] “Cheer up Jakey Humphrey..

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Humphrey and his fellow Canary fans were entitled to be optimistic given how the Canaries gained promotion. However, he was very naïve in putting that tweet out.

Yes, the Canaries played some very nice stuff in the Championship - albeit with a tendency to snatch very late results, rather than command whole games. They also had a very leaky defence and didn't really address that in the close season. Seemed content to let their talented young defenders learn on the job in the PL, which is a high risk approach. Plus no real attacking plan 'B' if Pukki's goals dried up.

Farke was dealt a tough hand with a very tight transfer budget. Having been a yo-yo club over the last few years it is surprising that NCFC were not prepared to make moderate investments that might have consolidated their PL status. So it's back to the yo-yo.

Only spent a total of 700k according to the commentators today, they have not disgraced themselves

Gets what he deserves for that twattish tweet. As a presenter, support your team for sure but don’t criticise another like he did us, setting yourself up for a fall.

 

[The Wizard]

‘Exciting and expansive’

Quite - they make Burnley look profligate...!

Should just stick to what he is paid to do - presenting. Spent too much time with ex-pros thinking people actually want to hear his opinion on football. The Smug Eddie of the football broadcasting world.

How many replies from our fans with his tweet we’ll done all

 

[Acker79]

After this evening's drubbing, have the Brighton fans left him alone?

 

[Palacefinder General]

What an absolute tool at the end there on the final outcome: “Perhaps Brighton did deserve something from this game”

This guy is a paid pundit?

 

[Sirnormangall]

He was probably just embarrassed at having predicted a 4-1 victory for Liverpool .......and of course still sulking that his wonderful Norwich were relegated when we stayed up

Soon as I saw that pre match it made me determined to prove him wrong!
