Yep. Unmarked header, again. 4 yards out.

That's what Redmond CAN do. Except he usually doesn't. Good build up, poor finish.

Nuts. My stream has just switched to Algerian.

Nasty that from Austin. Makes a change for one of us to show some bite.

Unmarked header. Again.

Poachers goal that. That's livened things up a bit.

Austin!!! JWP assist machine.

Baffling team selection and no hint of a game plan.

"Pellegrino wants us to play an expansive style"!!!?? Really.

I'm clearly a bit slow today.....VVD not even on the bench?! Gone then. Bet we sell him early in the window, then cock around for weeks chasing possible signings.

No cohesion, no apparent plan. We are very poorly coached and managed nowadays.

Is he trying to get sacked?

Very good points. We need to refresh the creative midfielders, and get a manager in who knows how to set a team up to win.

Exactly this. Also wonder if could generate some kind of swap/loan-with-an-option arrangement. Would make sense given our need to strengthen/refresh in other positions. Sure there must be a couple of suitable, young-hungry types at Chelsea and City.

And given Conte's comments the other day: Bidding. War. Nice.

Wonder if we are about to see a last shuffle of the pack from Les.

Any chance of copying the text? Would like to see it first hand!

And it's the day after the Gao board meeting. Coincidence?

Hmmm. The 'popular with players and staff' line is always going to be said. Doubt we'd ever see a statement saying 'xxxx was viewed as a total knob by all at the club'. His record is terrible though and surely we can do better? *Conspiracy Theories Switched On!* - I wonder if the club noticed the fans view of him and this is some kind vague way to address the general discontent about MP?

That's a reasonable conclusion, with the caveat of course that we simply don't know his plans. Which is incredibly frustrating, yet sensible too..if he starts mouthing off like the Everton owner did then that'll cause all kinds of extra silliness to deal with: not least inflated transfer prices. So a more coy approach works......yet as fans we want to hear something from the owners! I wonder how the surrounding land and potential development opportunities fit in? It is hard to conclude that he wants to make us a super club, and far easier to conclude we're an asset that unlocks additional (non-football related) returns.

It certainly had possibilities.

Really hoping he was writing a large cheque or two! How many board meetings has he been to?

Wonder if RK will fancy it?!

**** me, is he still here?

And yet the Black Box and our extensive recruitment process decided he is the best possible manager for us. Christ.
