Calm down. Fulham can easily go on a terrible run soon enough, like a billion promoted clubs before them. Brighton will not carry on as they are. In contrast WHU will very likely turn things around. The only thing that is certain is we are without doubt a bottom 6 team. What I worry about is we are as capable of finishing bottom as we are 15th.

It's a shame both Roy Evans and Gérard Houllier are both dead because we could have brought one of them in as joint manager.

Quite right, those guys definitely deserve a rise.

Of all the choices a government can make to improve the lives of those "most in need", do you genuinely think that removing the cap on bakers bonuses is the most effective choice? Maybe there's other stuff they could do first. As mentioned above, if you think this is all going to be subject to 40% tax like the Christmas bonus in your own pay packet then good luck to you.

Just seen a couple of posters reassessing their Puel period on there so things must be bad.

I wish we could be three nil down.

I don't think the issue the the fans. 3 wins in 18 or whatever it is is an appalling record. That is not the fans fault. We were utterly dreadful yesterday with those supposed fickle fans almost universally predicting a win. Saints being woeful yesterday is not the "problem" of fickle fans. How is it their fault? How about don't be terrible? How about that.

Getting to a situation where we are saying "boy do we miss" a 18 year old with a handful of senior games under his belt points to something of a fuck up in the transfer window.

Anyway, I can't see what signing a striker could possibly have done for us.

Honestly as a nation we simply must remove the cap on bankers bonuses as soon as we possibly can. Absolutely vital.

You might be to young to remember we had a player called Danny Ings once who scored lot of goals in a shit team. So that's what a striker could have done.

Club said we needed a striker, Ralph said "yes" we were getting one when asked before the window closed. We did not get a striker.

Nice for Prince William, though.

Personally I blame the new assistant manager for that performance.

No one posted in the minutes silence 👏 👏 👏

Once you've won the world cup, there's nothing else you can really achieve.

The last one being Virgil, which will be five years ago when the January window rolls around.

"Thick" people not understanding what they've signed up to, then taking a hit and then moaning about the consequences that were foreseeable and avoidable? I wonder if that has ever happened before?

You'll have to remind me of the bidding war of clubs smashing over the buy back fee for him. The point is Ake has not become a world beating megastar. If Lavia turns out just okay and Spurs and Arsenal fight over him and Man City aren't bothered, then Spurs/Arsenal pay about £40m. Buy back not activated, fine. Perfectly possible. If he becomes a world beater at 19-20 or whatever and the price is £60-£80m, on what planet are Man City walking away from that and just letting it happen. The scenario people are trying to build here is not going to play out.

Exactly. I don't get where people think other clubs are going to be chucking £80m about and Man City just sit there and let it happen while we magically trot off to the bank with wheelbarrows full of cash. It won't play out like that.

Got it, thanks. The centre back we signed that without playing a single second for us is already being put in midfield on this forum. Amazing.

9-0 klaxon.

Strong start. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/13/king-charles-staff-given-redundancy-notice-during-church-service-for-queen?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Okay I give up. Who is DCC supposed to be?
