Or 'getting the Lowe down'? I'll get me coat...

So what are you trying to say?

It looks to me like it's the reduction in VAT. £27.40 = £28.00 *1.15/1.175

No, I agree that WGS might well have stayed if he felt that the club was going somewhere. He's not the only manager who has left us because of, let's call it, a 'lack of ambition'. I'm also not that impressed by Wotte. When I heard that Poortvliet had gone I was quite excited for a few moments, until I heard who his replacement was.

I must admit that I have been concerned in a couple of home games lately where we have been drawing a game and Wotte tries to bring a sub on in injury time. To me, this indicates a complete misunderstanding of our predicament.

I think we have 4 'must-wins' out of 7 games, and we don't want them to be the last 4 games, do we?

I thought it was a hip operation? I read at the time that his settlement from Coventry had finally been sorted so he could afford to take some time off, but this would be a private matter between the two parties. As for Wotte, we can't really form an opinion until we see how the next few weeks pan out. Bright start but a bit of a slip back lately. Worrying times indeed.

If I remember correctly, Coppell was paid around £1.2m a year in the premiership and this fell to about £720k p.a. after relegation. I doubt that we have been paying anything close to those figures.

Some people were saying the same about Derby...... and QPR...... and Blackpool......

We shall know the answer to this question in six weeks' time, if not before.

No worries, then.

Please refrain from the same old refrain. What about those two penalties that we missed?:smt083

Whatever happens at the end of the season, would everybody please refrain from saying 'if only that shot had gone in'

So, 10 minutes to save our season.

I don't know why I bother. Why should I care if the players don't?

If it walks like a Beast and quacks like a Beast, then it's a Beast.

Until Saturday night, that is.

You mean, it's not July Andrews???

So that our 'chosen men', our 'elite squad' could trample over it and we could all rejoice.

Some archaeologist will dig up St. Mary's and wonder what it was built for. He will probably conclude that it had a 'ritual' purpose where the local population would come and worship once a fortnight.

That's good to hear. Perhaps his long-term plan will be starting to show results by then.

Is Rupert still in charge?

I'm inclined to agree with you. A win for Blackpool would also put them on 49 points and virtually safe. Our only other big hope is our game-in-hand but with have to stay 'in touch' for that to be significant. A win away at Watford is not out of the question, but I suspect we'll end up with another draw. I think that by the 7th April the picture will be a lot clearer. This has all the makings of us being narrowly relegated and cursing those missed penalties, missed chances, etc, etc, etc

And what league are we in? I'm dying to know.

So when/if we're down we can look forward to winning a few games then?
