If we sack Tonda, do we get reinstated in the play off final.

If this was six, it would have been done already. I think they have forced us into something today. Something unpleasant.

That's a bit like asking why, if shoplifting is illegal, shops put all their stuff out on display and make it easy to steal. ------------------------------- But you are allowed to take the goods outside to your car without paying till 1pm. After that, its theft. That's closer to the situation.

Remember when Hoddle took temporally charge when Jones was put on leave? From day one, there was no way back. Now, although different, this would be the same. If he goes, he completely goes. No waiting in the wings for six months. Fuck that. We cannot afford to be persecuted indefinitely for this issue. Its gone on too long.

Marcelo Bielsa won the2019 FIFA Fair Play Award They made a proper example of him.

We've got no excuses for not having rock solid contingency plans in place, regardless of the outcome. _________________________________________________ What, like a replacement lined up? Jesus, even on easy mode that plan has a massive failure rate...................its why we are sticking by the dude.

I really do think, if we were absolutely flying, annihilating the opposition, they would go harder on us. That would have them on a crusade to tear us down even further. In truth the damage (self) inflicted right now cannot be properly measured as yet. But it could well turn out to be catastrophic. Chucked out of a very winnable play off final, then subsequently missing out on the auto's due to the four point deduction, that could have ramifications for years! They want us to suffer. They want us as the example they still have control. But another punishment dump could be hard to justify considering we are still serving the last two. This inconsistency of form we are suffering from, might well be thing thing that quietly lets this unfold without too much fanfare. I mean, there's no club in the country who stands by a manager with a six month ban who can't keep a clean sheet and can't win away from home. They understand the consequences of the next over reaction. Him getting jettisoned by us the very next day does not fit the criteria. Six game touch line ban and a large personal fine incoming. Anything else and the baby is going out the window rapidly following the bath tub. This shit ends this week. We've all had enough.

We need legs. _____________ My eyes are bad. I read that as Ings.

Finn gets the banjo out the way early. Now for a brace.

Millwall have been superb. But now here comes the real test.

Even though KM popped up with some key moments last season, I did not think he would force his way into our starting 11. But he has been a bit of a revelation these last couple of months. He offers something that we seriously lack. I hope his form keeps Fellows warming the bench. He could definitely learn a thing or two from this guy.

What a thoroughly enjoyable victory. Made all the more sweeter by the fact that I thought we'd lose this match. City have probably caused me more game anxiety that any other team over the last twenty years. The penultimate day of 2011, a chance of going six points clear at the top and securing a unbeaten at home calendar year record. Armed with a team of unbeatable winners, and they rock up and spoil the pre-arranged party. Since that day, they have held some weird hold over us. Even though we barely ever play them. No matter what our form, no matter how depleted their squad, they always get the better of us. In 2024 they destroyed another legendary unbeaten run. Its a fixture that just fills me with dread. Until now. That first 20 minutes surely ends the curse. How they didn't score I will never know. Some outstanding defending compiled with some big luck, and we ripped up the party pooper script for once and for all. Now, why am I dining out on this result three days later you ask? Well City play twice this week, both games at home, tonight against Lincoln & on Friday v's Watford. It will be really interesting to see how they fair. I thought they looked pretty sleek, and they will be around the play offs at the end of this season. If they go on to nab the points this week, they will be around the top three by Sat 3pm. We might well have just ended a curse, and fired up a useful rival.

I watched Senegal win the AFCON, yet Morocco are the holders. I saw Middlesborough lose in the PO's semis yet they played in the final. I witnessed a player from the home nation of the world cup get sent off, then play in the very next match. Indeed, anything is possible in football in 2026.

When we score the forth goal against Wrexham, Tonda needs to run on the pitch and rule out the goal for a possible infringement that occurred sometime previously. This will absolve him of all crimes and land him the golden boot of fair-play ending all this drama. Simple.

This is going to hurt. No way we cure the curse today.
