My thoughts exactly. He doesn't look like the sort of guy to only tell you what you want to hear (I can imagine RM could well have been) and this comes just 24 hours after his public expression of needing to keep our best players and hopes to buy players better than we already have comment.

How about the team making up the biggest ever defecit to stay up at the end of the season. Disclaimer: Currently on new medication.

If I was him I'd take a contract till the end of the season. If we go down no-one is going to blame him for it and he's available for anyone else next season.. If he keeps us up he's anything from the new Allardayce to the Messiah. No brainer

He was 12/1 before the game, they must have changed the odds "in-play" at half time

All I'd ask for is a manager coming in, identify the strengths of individual players and play a first XI/formation based on the best of what we have instead of forcing players into positions/formations that don't suit them. And get them in for extra training so they can keep it up for 100 minutes every game.

Something Boris Johnson was know for. I'll leave others to make further comparisons 😇

The odd instruction from the bench when they've spotted the opposition are doing something different than expected is fine, but to me the constant coaching/interferring by any manager shows a lack of confidence in their own ability to have prepared the team correctly.

Grown a beard - tick Suit with trainers - tick. He won't even need an interview, that alone should get him the job

Agree 100% with those suggestions.

It's been on our badge since the 70s, about time it got some recognition.

Remember to switch off match updates/goal notifications or you may run your battery down

Found him: No Pirlo, No Party

We are not poor by any stretch of the imagination, we just don't have as much to spend as most of the other teams in our league. Edit: assuming your mean poor in the finacial sense not performance

Not the time to be giving the 2nd XI game time, the first choice line up need as much time as possible to gel together. Same formation as yesterday, THB for JS (forced on us but logical anyway) RS if he can play 90mins or BBD replace CA as central striker, Fraser wide left. It's only the cup but if we could get any sort of win there against the only team currently below us, that could be a huge psychological blow for them as well as a boost for us.

Christ, I saw the thread title and thought my wife had registered so she can nag me on here as well

Manchester United next. There's 3 points in the bag straight away

Typos

Stood behind the goal at the Lazio game and despite being only half full that was exactly what happened. It'll probably take a few games of everyone getting used to their new spot but if the singing gets coordinated properly it has the potential to be one if the best ends in the PL

The new line up have to get used to each other, really can't see us getting 9 today.

Not only that, why are 6 of the 8 even bothering to join them?. Unless they're going to be all played in rotation there's 6 keepers getting paid to stay at home gardening at the weekends

You forgot rushing to get to Radio Rentals on the way down town in time to watch the Final Scores come up on the (cathode ray tube) televisions in the window

If that means he's anything like Oriol Romeu was during his time with us he'll do for me

Just watching those goals videos he sure knows how to time his runs. One of our more exciting signings of recent times.

Business sense would be if hasn't turned us down then you leave it open but when/if a replacement is found at the right price Che will find that offer quickly withdrawn
