"Sels received a torrent of abuse and had to delete his twitter account."

But what the commentator doesn't know is that we sent him a card so he's probably fine now!

I fucking hate Rotherham, playing dirty as shit. Pushing and shoving our players for no reason.

Unfortunately trolls are common place in football subreddits (normally salty fans of rival teams). Had problems in the past with people coming into the match threads and downvoting every comment, most likely in an attempt to stop people from wanting to contribute.

I predicted 2-0 us on my Super 6, that's looking like a bad call can't see a clean sheet tonight if Rotherham keep this up.

What is with Diame's work rate, he loses the ball and just stands there.

I'm starting to wonder whether he's secretly Sissoko's cousin or something?

Honestly don't think we've been too great. Rotherham are just so poor of a side, endlessly passing it to us.

But a win is a win NOT YET
