PSG vs Dortmund on in the bar here in Croatia. Small mercies...

Baffling indeed

Just checked the TV listings here in Croatia and the only Championship game they're showing tonight is Sheff Wed Vs Middlesbrough... Result! The thought of having to sit in a bar here watching us play again was filling me with dread!

P.s. what do you call a man with a pile of leaves on his head?

Some heartening 'Russell' news just for balance... https://paradepets.com/pet-news/jack-russell-kittens

There were a couple of times in that press conference that I said to myself "Jones would have said something along those lines"... Don't think he's at Jones' levels of madness though.... Not yet anyway....

Yep... He seems to think if he slaps a "...but I don't blame the fans... Their negative reaction is completely understandable" at the end of every paragraph then we won't notice his thinly veiled pops at the fans... Unlucky Mr Martin, there's a few fans that are clever enough to spot it...

Any time now (3pm)

Martin saying the players did what they were asked to do and KWP saying pretty much the opposite in his post-match interview. So, who's talking bollocks...? Martin or KWP?

Forum regulars will know that, historically, I'm a pragmatist / benefit-of-the-doubt kinda guy, but after tonight I've seen enough.... Martin is quite clearly out of his depth and we need to replace with the likes of Graham Potter sharpish before it's too late. However, given the recent Jason "everything is rosey" Wilcox interviews, the chances of anything changing are are slim to zero, alas...

I'm usually one of the most positive forum members... What is there to be positive about at the moment, pray tell?

Probably too many Martini Espressos here on the Croatian Riviera, but... I'm buggered if I'm going to be the forum pragmatist any longer.... Martin clearly isn't up to the job... Get Potter in to sort this mess out... What is it with Sport Republic and selecting managers that are quite clearly out of their depth...?

Well spotted Inspector Clouseau...

I'm fed up of being that 'benefit of the doubt' supporter... sod it... Get Potter in now FFS...

Fixed it for you...

Martin out...

If Holgate isn't good enough to come on as CB and Charles put into DM (where he belongs) then send him back to Everton FFS... #wasteofspace

Baffles me how so called professional footballers can't get the basics of the game right. Pretty much every single goal we concede is self inflicted. I'm not one to jump to conclusions but can't see us being anywhere near promotion contention this season. Crazy given the amount of talent we have (on paper).

Glad I found a bar in Croatia to watch this shite...!

Midfield weaker than it should be but needs must I guess.... This has got a high scoring draw written all over it (either that or nil-nil... )

How ironic would it be if the 'remainers' calling 'brexiteers' thick swayed enough of the thickos to vote for Brexit in the first place as a stupid act of defiance...? i.e. calling thickos thick is bound to strengthen their resolve, isn't it...? Maybe the really clever thing to do/have done is not call them thick out loud...? Could it be that the name callers were the thick ones in the end...?

Your sense of self-awareness is highly commendable...

Just went past those in a boat trip from Dubrovnik to Milini. Did wonder why they had been left to wrack and ruin. Holiday going well so far... 🌞🍹😎
