They battered us.

Can somebody remind me about all these games we're going to win because we're definitely not relegated yet?

Why is it on ITV4 then?

Walcott to score the fifth penalty.

To be fair we are absolutely smashing them on the stepover stats.

Oh why oh why oh why isn't Caleta Car playing every game

All I wanted was for us to be safely into the ballbag later on, but it doesn't look like happening now 😪

Being pinned back by Grimsby Town. Great.

Fractionally offside.

Happy with that line up. Should win....then just a favourable draw away from Wembley....or Man City on a cup revenge mission smashing us into the dust.

I think the people looking at the money in this scenario will be SR more than JWP. Even if JWP was minded to stay for one season to help us back up, he's too much of a valuable asset to hold on to once some decent bids come in. I dont think JWP will be forced out but once (say) Tottenham come in with fifty mil or whatever, SR will take it and JWP will take on the challenge.

He's written the first page of the next SNP Manifesto for them.

The article doesn't say that either. It says JWP is our only outstanding player, which is true, and at 28 he might stick around, also true. Maybe you need to calm down because you're getting jolly upset about things you are imagining is in an Athletic article but aren't there. Wake up and smell the coffee, and read what was written.

Except that article doesn't say those players are all going to stay so why are you pretending that it does? He'll know as we all do that at least some will be off. For someone moaning about "poor articles" you didn't read it very well.

We never had any of that shite under Pochettino or Koeman when we finished 8th, 7th, 6th. We were just better organised with better players and effective management. You can do the "your mate Ralph" stuff as much as you like to me but I've said repeatedly that it was the correct decision to sack him when we did. It's all on here. I look forward to seeing you quote me in a couple of weeks time to yet again try and pretend I still want Ralph in charge. See you then.

Huge thanks to the guy you spent three months salivating over because he was going to make us so aggressive and tough to beat.

I don’t need to "intimate" it unless you wish to tell me the season we were relegated?

No I am not saying that, thanks for asking x

There are things in the credit column with Rupert - stadium, improvements to academy, radio station, FA Cup final, 8th place, world class catering. Obviously a sizeable debit column. It's been mentioned once or twice. But Sport Republic have so far done fuck all except the worst managerial appointment in Premier League history and spending loads of money on too many players with an average age of 19. All those who remember this season They won't forget what they've seen Destruction of a club in its prime Their average age was nineteen

Well, Pompey seemed to like him, so he must have a level somewhere.

Armstrong scored 28 and Adams 22 in their last seasons down there so its not a massive stretch to think they'd be pretty good down there. I like that the manic depressives can go from moaning "we've signed Championship standard players" to immediately moaning that those same players will actually also be rubbish in the Championship as well.

A year in the Championship might not make him a better keeper but he could well be a perfectly good keeper for us in the Championship. Two things not necessarily the same thing. Kelvin Davies famously couldn't hack the Prem but was a good keeper in the Championship for us and Ipswich.

Chelsea being dragged into it.

You're not taking it well, are you.

£150m earlier Hasenhuttl kept us very safely in this division so that is obviously disputable. Unless genuinely you're saying that Romeu and Jack Stephens were completely irreplaceable.
