Do whatever Leicester are doing

Except that doesnt happen in practice, it was a going through the motions exercise with Gordon Browne. Either way this is academic because the election is not going to be that close. The Labour Party might not completely win, but the Conservatives are going to utterly lose.

That sounds more like winner stays on at the pub snooker table. The new parliament is formed by the seats won, there's no "ruling party" because parliament is dissolved before the election. There's lots of routes, but the main principle is the party with the most seats has first go at forming a government regardless of whether they have a majority. Can't see it being anyone but Labour from here.

This all goes back to when workers from Swindon crossed the picket line back in the days of the Reading Docks strike.

Yes, fine. But that's "hype" because at the moment he's only played a handful of matches at this level. 46 goals in 100-odd games is not "hype", it's "proven". I'm happy with Stewart and looking forward to him replacing Che Adams forever.

Ross Stewart has played thirteen games at Championship level his entire life. Piroe has played nearly 100 Championship matches and is scoring not far off 1 in 2, 46 goals. It's not "hype", he's clearly a proven Championship level striker. We've signed a proven League One striker with potential.

Why's that then?
-
You can't use four defeats in a row as a basis to then claim an "upward trend", sweetheart.
-
Not an upwards trend though is it? First five games: 10 points Last five games: 7 points You can put the game in the middle (Leicester) either side, zero points either way. There's no upward trend whatsoever. At a push, it's flat, or we have repaired from that dreadful run. We shouldn't be using 4 straight defeats as a platform to start crowing about "upward trends" and using it to hype our manager as if he's some miracle worker. Absolutely fucking ridiculous. We should never have been down there in the first place.

If your memory is the crowd got behind the team no-matter-what during the Branfoot years or the Dave Jones / Merrington / Souness relegation zone dross then sorry I don't remember that. I remember protests in the car park and plenty of moaning in the stands at the Dell.
-
Those Ipswich fans must be, like, so amazing and loyal sticking right behind their team through the thick and thin of losing one game all season.
-
The only explanation is something to do with out relationship with Swansea being so damaged. Should have been the no brainer of the summer.
-
72 points for the season is fucking shit mate.
-
Except going on about seven out of nine points is a straw man argument. What about 7 points from an available 21? That's a winning formula is it? 7 points from 7 games is not going to even get you in the play offs. What about the our negative goal difference and dreadful goals against, is that a winning formula? What about one of the most expensive/lavish squads in the league and not even scraping top six 11 games in? Is that a winning formula? Spare us the holier than thou act. The management/ownership of this club talked about promotion this season, and their dreadful managerial appointment has made that vastly more unlikely than it should be. Failure deserves to be called out, not just be covered up by people who want to spin doctor an alternative reality.

A sport where you can smash into each other to knock the other guy clean over and that's all fine, but if the ball is slightly nudged forward by an arm that's a penalty. Also the penalties seem to happen about ten minutes after the thing that the penalty was for happened. And then they just kick it out of play. Most of the time not a fucking clue but I've been watching world cups and 6 nations occasionally for decades.

He's been a manager a lot longer than the two at Plymouth and Ipswich and they've both achieved far more.
-
Nope. We'd lost four in a row. We're supposed to be challenging for automatic promotion. Winning 3 matches in a row is typical for teams who want to go up automatically. Ipswich have already done it, Leicester have done it twice and more. Let's not even touch on the fact we have negative goal difference. Pathetic. The level this manager has got us scrabbling around is oooh we got a point maybe maybe if we're lucky we make the play offs, and expecting the fanbase to be grateful for it. Not good enough, Russell Martin is failing right now.
-
Weeks like this are going to be typical for the season. Just enough there to buy him more time in the job, but nowhere near enough quality for us to be anywhere near the real promotion battle. As a manager he has never achieved anything, at all. And he ain't achieving anything with us.

12-0.

13-0. #itshappening

Alcaraz who is basically a child: rested. Stuart Armstrong, held together by masking tape and garden twine: starting eleven
-
If we win 14-0 we can go above Sunderland.

People said it could never be done.

Who are you expecting to be asking the questions at a press conference ahead of Southampton vs Rotherham in the Championship? Bernstein and Woodward?
