Cherry here, glad to see this thread, I'm as one eyed as they get, but that was a ridiculous challenge. Borne out of cowardice and frustration, thought Cook was gonna kill him for a minute. Yes Smith does go down too easy sometimes, but the fact he got up without a bruise is no justification for that, think gazwag needs to look at it again

You can’t be serious?! The challenge was horrible and he was rightly shown a red.
I’m still bemused how people were clapping Knocky and booing the decision! GET A GRIP!

The most obvious red I’ve seen in a long time. Unbelievably late and very reckless.

You always get one, oui?I generally get on well with the French.
Just not this one.

People clapping Knocky after that are idiots. Might as well clap own goals by that logic.

Knockaert went out of his way to hurt an opposition player with no regard for the ball, game or team.
Luckily there was little/no injury to the player.

I love knocky, but the reality is he does not have the consistency or footballing brain required for the premier league. So sadly it is time to say goodbye. If we are relagated we need to keep him. I have exactly the same feelings about Stephens and hughton

Created the winner against Hudds, scored the winner against Palace.
In a genuinely terrible second half of the season of the club he’s been one of the few positives and why we remain favourites to stay up.
Fair enough I get why people hated the sending off today it’s an appalling tackle but we still need him next season

I have always made a benchmark comparison of Knockeart to Matt Ritchie, both have natural ability on the ball, but only one has a footballing brain and plays for his team mates. If Knockeart hasn't got a footballing brain by now he never will.
Yep at a thrown in and a corner.
I agree, he is still worth keeping and has been one of our better players lately.
Despite his tendency to be a bit selfish at times instead of passing to someone in a better position, he shows commitment, tries to get forward and usually plays his heart out. In the earlier part of the game today, he and Montoya looked good together. However, no excuses for the appalling tackle and he fully deserved the red.

We’ve been lucky that there are three worse sides, but I’d also argue that we could have been Huddersfield this season except that we had an excellent first half of the season and were 75% of the way there by Christmas.
In order to stay up, you only have to be marginally better than the bottom three. Just as Saints proved last season. Good enough is good enough to meet objectives.
Whether the fans appreciate being barely good enough to stay up is a different matter.
But thanks to CH, we’re barely good enough for the Premier League rather than barely good enough for the Championship, as when he oil over.
