Bold of you to assume we'll come back up!

This is the same manager who started players like Fraser & Smallbone in the PL. He was surprised we were outmuscled?

Tyler Diblings greatest strength this season has been to deflect attention from the real jewel in our crown, Matty Fernandes. Don't get me wrong, TD is a real talent and the ceiling's as high as he wants it to be, but this season has done him no favours. Playing in a toxic team hopelessly out of its depth; having excess pressure and expectation heaped on him by media and fans alike - he'll need to be strong minded to put this behind him. Hope he does.

On the idea of refunds I think you're slightly delusional, but I agree the club's PR has to be among the worst in the league. Too busy farting around making tourist bars and shitty TV-style shows. They need to acknowledge the fans have been let down, badly, for the second time in three years. Nobody expected us to pull up trees, and relegation was always likely. You can only do your best, right? Well, doing your best isn't allowing a self-serving manager to implement a suicidal tactical system and then berate the paying supporters for pointing it out. Nor is it to allow a manager to set up a team with no strikers and full backs & midfielders as centre-backs. The managers might be doing their best- they might just be a bit rubbish, but people running the club are the ones accountable, because they're the ones that put them there. The silence that comes out of this club when the chips are down is deafening. Surely it's better to treat fans as equals, to keep them informed? If you get everyone onboard, the positivity can come from within. These days it reeks of a load of mollicoddled millionaire kids protected at all costs, managers seemingly on meth and a club that doesn't connect with the fans unless it wants to sell them something. So no, I think your refund idea is probably not going to happen!

Only thing worse than us are the streams today.

I don't really feel it matters how or why a terrorist is a terrorist. They weren't the first; they certainly won't be the last and they're all scum, regardless of ethnicity, origin or whichever fairy in the sky they support. I don't give a shit which flavour they are.

A state broadcaster's job is to remain impartial. If they were to pick a side and say that Hamas are terrorists, I'm sure 99.9% of people (among which I count myself) would agree with them, but that isn't the point. The point is that state news needs to remain impartial. It CANNOT dictate the narritive to the public like a monetised news corporation can, on ANY subject. All it can do, is tell you what's happened. The BBC is the only outlet we have that cannot pick a side in any matter, and that's really important because the second your state news outlet does, you slip into being dictated to, and your government (who'd be pulling their strings) a dictatorship. Our govt is many things, but they're not dictators. The Scum, Daily Fail, Mirror, 'Independent', Telegraph...they can all pick sides and say whatever they want, and they do, because they want to influence people. By contrast, the BBC cannot and should not. Have they done so in the past? That's a different argument. Hard to look past Kuensberg (sp) suckling up to Bozo in recent years, and it's certainly not an organisation free of corruption and bias, but it's meant to be. It doesn't need to label them terrorists. Anyone with half a brain cell can see that's what they are.

Shane Long walks this IMO.

Agreed. What we have is a squad full of losers. That's not a personalilty-based observation, it's history. So many of these players have been part of a depressing team at SFC for so long, I don't think they'll ever recover here. A move away for the likes of McCarthy, Bednarek, Stephens, Smallbone...even KWP, it'd do them as much good as it does us. We genuinely need a clearout. Last season papered over the cracks - this is a mentally weak team. There aren't many I'd retain, given the choice. I realise this will not be the case, and the club will see most of the existing squad as strong options in the Champ, and sure enough many of them could go on to another Champ team and walk into it, but here, with us...I don't see it. Bednarek is a prime example. Two relegations, two 9-0 defeats (I think?), god knows how many own goals and goals conceded while he's played; Just knock it on the head. Let him move, for his sake as much as ours. He joined for £5m as a reserve and somehow has ended up being first choice, not because he's got better but because the squad has got worse. Even if we managed to scrape by next season and limp back into the PL, it'd just be rinse & repeat of this season. We need a hard reset, the club's been rotten for years now. It's a shame because it was on a perfect trajectory up until Koeman got poached.

Genuinely wouldn't be worse, but I wouldn't want him soiling our memories of him.

They're 4th, aren't they? What are they expecting?! Deluded twats.

Ross Stewart: [walks into Staplewood] Juric (to his assistant): "Who's this?"

Wondering if his team selections are down to the attitudes of certain players, rather than playing Aribo as a centre-back for a laugh. The ones that are playing for him were cast aside by RM (e.g. TP, big Les, Sully), and the ones RM loved aren't getting much of a look in (Downes, Fraser, Stephens etc, though I know the latter has also been injured). Just shows what a shitstorm the whole place is tbh. Players should give 100%, regardless of who's the boss. They play for the club and the badge, not the man in charge of the teamsheet.

Fingers crossed
