He'd heard Prince Harry fancied watching the game...

What makes you think I believed it?

The trouble for me is that DmcG is so goddam LAZY. Never makes a decent run, doesn't offer a 'defend from the front' mentality that is so important, doesn't close down their strikers, and boy is he slow. He's also not got vision and can't see a pass when another player is in another position better than his own. This is what makes me a bit more optimistic about our chances if we can keep hold of Saga and we're not only playing him to put him in the shop window. He does a lot of the above. If we could get another in - a real harrying, annoying type like Paul Dickov, I reckon that would be much better than a languid, nonchalant player who seems to play for himself and the torso he loves so much. Rant over. Short answer is that our strikers are not good enough but would be even worse if we sold Saga to make a quick buck.

Birmingham manager Alex McLeish has lined up a £1m bid for Doncaster defender Matthew Mills. (Daily Mirror) Get on with it, Alex. Could be a good destabilising factor for a certain somebody if he hasn't gone already (or not risked).

The downside of the win at the weekend (and probably the only one) is that if Rupert Lowe's little purse was just beginning to open up, with the gravity of our situation at least beginning to dawn on him it has now firmly snapped back shut, leaving us with little in the way of striking capability or indeed back up at CB still and a ball-winning central midfielder. By the way, we need to be safe by the last game because we ain't winning at Forest, who will by then be in contention for a play-off with Davies at the helm (anyone else notice what he said about needing some older heads in? How apposite).

The team were not overly impressed with Rupert's latest but more economical 'portable eye gym' idea.

They could only afford a second class stamp.

I think even Charlton will see sense, appoint a decent manager and move up the table. Doncaster might drop, I suppose, and I have a sneaky feeling the Derby Clough thing will not work out in the end, so then it's us or someone like Blackpool. Forest will be well clear with Davies in. With our current chairman and manager I think we are down.

Thought this was going to be about Ronaldo's car smash...

The best we have ever had at hitting the bar was G Burley. This looks, on the face of it, a good addition, though seeing him against humans might give us a bigger clue. Now need to keep Schniederlin and get him fit, play him in the middle of the park and add a decent striker (assuming Saga won't get a game behind he who must not be dropped, DMcG. Get the spine right and we'll stop shipping goals.

They've both gone, by the way.

Can this episode in our history get any worse? Administration, I suppose...

I have a hunch it will be Jan funnyname and Rupert Lowe (no nicknames allowed). And that's the trouble. The club is in stasis.

Looks like you missed out 'funny'. Not for the first time. Or did you just mean find? Even rubbish explorers could manage that. Bye, then. Shall we get back to JP now then, anyone else?

I'm with you HLMG. The sad thing is that there is still time to do something. Some of us believe that that something was to sack JP (I have avoided using the unfunny nickname because I have been told off) and appoint, say, Billy Davies. Sure, we don't know the money side of things - we might be unable to afford this and Lowe is in charge of the pursestrings, but I personally had hoped that a way round this might have been that JP might have recognised his failings, that the job was way too much for him, and fall on his sword. A bit like Paul Jewell. That way it wouldn't cost us as much. But it looks like not enough people give a monkey's and we're on the inevitable slide to League One or administration. A massive shame.

What a hilarious picture you have conjured up. Was it from Naked Gun?

He really loves comedies!

Airplane, Police Squad, The Naked Gun Trilogy

Mike Riley will win it next month

It's about as funny as your avatar, which I find most jaunty. Good luck with the rest of your 'exploring'.

It certainly feels like it.
