Thats a very good point, obvious now you say it, but what would be the point of spending a single penny. We could have sold every player with a tangible value and played the U23’s which would have achieved only slightly worse points total.

I think it’s simply a case of “rabbits I the headlights”, they just don’t know what course of action to take. SR lost two successive directors of football, it seems now the biggest error was in not replacing Wilcox as a matter of urgency. From what I can see there is no meaningful footballing knowledge above Martin’s, which is possibly why they are buying his line that it will all click and come good. I don’t believe for a minute they are happy with the romanticised concept of relegation and returning stronger that seems to be a view held by some on here.

You could say that, if you haven’t watched us play. So, Manning’s goal against Wolves was wrongly disallowed, from there on we didn’t manage a single shot at goal. Individual errors, yes there have been a few. Tactical errors, selection errors, substitution errors, in game management errors, defensive set piece errors etc happen every game. I honestly think there is no defending the guy.

I’ve seen a couple of references to Martin arguing with the fans, I’ve missed this, what has occurred?

@Farmer Saint This is the Russel Martin thread. You yourself have stated, I’m sure, that he needs to go. He is a terrible manager. He needs to go. It’s probably too late but he needs to go, as does Rasmus, he is knee deep in this and I think I speak for a lot on here when I say we do not want him choosing Martins replacement. Do you agree Martin is a very poor manager and needs to go before further damage is done?

I believe he’s saying ABK has infinitely less influence on our tragic and entirely avoidable demise than the two narcissists in the positions of the greatest influence who are orchestrating said demise. That’s my interpretation

He’d probably blame John Cleese

Look who’s back, Fabrice is back, would the real slim Fabrice please stand up, please stand up…

Seemingly they can, and I reckon they will.

I was going to say tongue, but that would be inappropriate, so I thought it instead

They’ll be back, they are just contriving their next line of attack, each line being more oblique than the previous.

Question is,,who is the donkeys arse, Russ or Rasmus, or does this ass have two arses?

I’m have a strong suspicion that’s why Charlie Taylor has disappeared from the face of the earth. I also thought I saw a bit of petulance from Bednarek up at Wolves, we were fannying around at the back and he appeard to lose it and launch the ball into orbit.

I’d like to know on what basis he is so confident “they’ll be alright” what is experience is he drawing onto support this? He was in unremarkable player playing for an unremarkable team, played international for a team that by necessity has to scour the lower leagues for players. As a manager he was very average in the championship and an unrivalled disaster in the premier league, so, where does this confidence come from? I guess he epitomises arrogance, where your view of yourself is vastly elevated above reality.

I think Liverpool were complacent yesterday and we still managed to gift wrap the points for them.

The slight variation in this scenario is that he’s the rat that will sink the ship. With an honourable mention to Rasmus Rat.

I am going, going to every away I can whilst we remain in the premier league. I need to build up enough credit for the remaining London away days and the trip to the last ever game at Goodison. That’s my motivation, I don’t expect us to get anything from any away games. I’m not one of those who thinks it’s a forgone conclusion that we will be so “lucky” next time so I’m going to make the most of this sad and pathetic season.

Find another room to decorate, even if it doesn’t need it.

yeah , but no, but yeah, but…

That is nailed on.

Russ will be first rat to leave the ship.

Correction. A backhanded way of deflecting blame

He’s only a baby, still developing, still growing

I think you know what I mean, we haven’t been embarrassed by them. Done well in the sense no unwelcome records were threatened. Whereas we have been largely terrible against the also rans

He recoiled when Russ tried to cuddle him, Russ doesn’t cope well with rejection.
