I didn't go to the game last night (mainly as I was working til about 9pm) but having watched the highlights and read a couple of reports I'd suggest we were somewhat unfortunate to lose... Loads of great chances and Lingard missed a fairly easy chance at 1 0...

I think the most pertinent thing about our defence is that we've spent half the season with a deep lying midfielder rather than a proper DM and still have shipped less goals than 20 other teams in the league... Look at the stats of how many we've conceded with Big John in there and you'll see they're fairly impressive...

Plus... Looking at the highlights I'd suggest Keogh was being backed into by the CF and then Shotton failed to close the player down and made a half-hearted challenge for the first... and then Shotton was again woefully out of position for the 2nd which Keogh had to try and desperately cover for...

If I was Keoghs missus I'd protect my tweets or whatever you do to remain private. (Not a twitter expert me) can you tweet to someone who's on a private account?

but, i don't think  that's  what footballers wives or girlfriends do is it?

they wouldn't be able to post pictures of their big houses and swanky hotels in the summer to gain maximum exposure would they?

maybe I'm cynical, but that's the life of a professional footballer, you have to enjoy the good times and suck it up in the bad times.

I am not one to criticise Keogh as a player, but I don't think he is an ideal captain. Whenever we concede I always see Keogh moaning at others, where as I'd expect a captain to be motivating and encouraging the players around them. Surely Thorne or Hughes would be better captains?

Keogh! Keogh! Keogh! Keogh!

You were main signing one year for our Clough

Oh, Keogh

Then the Bucko Machine showed you up as a duff

Oh-oh-oh Keogh-o

On a night when clearing didn't suit your boots

After weeks of flunkin' and pumpin' balls

The poorest header in the box that night

Just calamitous steps and blastin' out to the right

 

Fantastic inspiration, you gave the team none

But you were Richard the captain

Of a team that won

But now just look at me

I'm looking down at you

No, I'm not being flash

It's what forum-posters do

 

That man took the stage, hoping for a Wembley high

Oh Keogh

This dream was in tatters, Zamora was high

Oh-oh-oh Keogh-o

The crowd could all love you, sometimes chanted your name

But they never knew like we knew

Your defending was lame

And now you've fell over, your backpass is so tame, brrrrr

You scared me, you scarred me, I'll remember your name

 

Fantastic inspiration, you gave me none

You were Richard the “leader”

Eyebrows? You have ONE

But now just look at me

I'm looking down at you

No, I'm not being harsh

It's what I'm built to do

 

Oh Keogh, Woh-oh-oh Keogh-o

Oh Keogh, Woh-oh-oh Keogh-o
