I don't think we matched them at all, I think they they took it easy.  Kept it professional, if we scored in the first five minutes in the second half they would have gone on to score another 2,3 or even four more.

Surprised he didn’t want to do his wavy hands and fist bump routine in front of the adoring masses after the game.

But then if Miss Pinder is waiting who can blame him for cutting the celebrations short.

Bad look really. That ego of his has taken a battering tonight. Should at least go and clap/apologise to the fans, even if he's getting pelters.

Even Ian Branfoot did that at Shrewsbury after the Cup defeat.

Shows you what a weak twat Martin really is.

Yep. The fuckwittery of forum fans complaining about the actions of those at the game is another level of cockwombleness.

Agent Pinder. If they get married and divorced she'll get half of his severance package (and wages for the last two years) to donate back to the club.

The Robin Hood of page 3 models.

If he's not done after that I don't know what it would take to get rid.

We’re almost there lads. That last surviving personality trait, the fucking huge unwarranted ego, is almost shot. I’m confident he will be gone by Fulham.

Not criticising them for trying, it’s more the fact that their ire should be aimed at the likes of Rasmus who has orchestrated this shit show. The “get out of our club” message seems particularly volatile for a guy that at least led us to promotion.

I agree with the Rasmus bit a million per cent but Martin’s style football has been torture and full on Frank Spencer. At least this season and some horribly humpings at Sunderland and Leicester last year plus 60+ conceded. That ought to have been the red flag for the gormless board in the first place

Edited 15 December, 2024 by Gloucester Saint

[Galway saint]

Unless the board have effectively given up trying to successfully run a football club, I can’t see how he survives that result and performance.

 

[Baird of the land]

Apparently they'd worked on a plan

Unless that plan was to concede goals the useless git should cease working on plans

They worked on a plan, unfortunately they didn’t tell Spurs who screwed that plan up after 40 seconds.

Only thing Lowe ever got right when he called them North London yobbos ! 🤪

Oh I totally agree, he needs to go 100%. I just find the get out of our club message particularly spiteful for a guy that did at least lead us to a victory at Wembley. A simple “time to go Russ” would have conveyed the same message with a bit less venom attached to it. That is more for the Redknapps and Nathan Jones kind of characters.

The crowd has arguably been too mellow 'til today, but very much turned tonight.

I was just just about too young to see Branfootball in the flesh, but yeah... Not seen a manager survive many matches with that level of vitriol.

[saintant]

10 goals against in our last two home games - let that sink in.

[Dr Who?]

Enough is enough. There is losing and there is rolling over and having your belly rubbed, then making changes to make it better, only to look worse, until the 2nd half when Spurs took it easy because the job was done. I think he needs to go.

He probably spends four hours on foreplay and then falls asleep.

Just heard that Sport Republic have offered Russ a contract extension, to keep him at the club until 2030.

And conceded most of those goals before the hour mark in both games. So, it would have been higher if either team were bothered..

Agreed. He just needs to leave. I refuse to believe that the club haven’t got replacement options waiting for a call.

Get Martin out, it seems to be toxic now and Martin himself looks all out of energy and motivation.

Give it to someone like Lallana or one of the coaches for the Liverpool game, get that out of the way, then start again with a new fella, ideally with a contract to end of the season with an option to renew if it isn’t a complete disaster.

[LGTL]

Oh god I completely forgot about the Liverpool cup game. We need that like a hole in the head. Just forfeit it.

My source has just told me he’s gone. I’m sure we’ll hear very soon.
