Whitey Grandad

What we need above all else is more bums on seats at St. Marys. Does anybody think that Wotte is going to achieve that?

So when we play away the home fans cheer our team do they? Surely the players must get more abuse at away grounds than they do at St. Mary's?

I predicted 4th from bottom give or take a place. That's looking too optimistic now

I just said that they had swapped them, not that they were new. It's the same with our two dutch dunces. They can swap jobs but the result's the same. Happy DIY!

I logged on and saw that Poortvliet had gone and my heart leapt. Then I saw that Wotte had taken his place and my depression got even deeper. Wotte on earth is the point? My local B&Q has just swapped its entrance and exit doors.That'll have more effect on their sales than this will on our results.

Well, that'll bring the crowds flooding back.

It's the trend, you see. We've been getting steadily worse game by game and the manager hasn't got a clue.

MLT against Arsenal, last game at the Dell for the emotion of the occasion. Barry Horne's against Bolton. I was standing behind the goal and it swerved all over the place. MLT's first against Newcastle. I told my daughter at the time that she would never see anything like those two goals ever again. At St. Mary's, Camara's against Norwich or John's winner against Sheffield United for the eruption of noise.

I thought the first half was fairly equal, certainly Kelvin had some important saves to make whereas their keeper didn't have to do anything until after we were two goals down. I wouldn't call them 'shots', more like back-passes.

By not coming back and causing a 5000 in the attendances?

All-seater stadiums? When was the Dell converted?

Aren't HMRC preferential creditors?

I've been rubbing my 'lucky keyring' all season but somehow nothing happens. I sometimes think that it's the players' fault for not looking up at us to see if we're wearing our lucky scarf / lucky underpants / lucky chairman / lucky you-name-it.

This is probably wher the 'third week of March' comes into it. We would have to check the regulations but I'm sure that the club are looking at it even as we type.

I think it's more to do with League/FA regulations. They don't want clubs to go into administration 5 minutes after they are mathematically relegated. Otherwise if you're relegated you could take the -10 points this season and start next with a clean sheet in the lower division. This is what Leeds did.

9 home games left? A new manager promising exciting, attacking football and 5,000 extra on every home gate? That should be an extra £600k or so by the end of the season. Or have we been here before?

Nah. I went there once and we didn't win.

Oi! I read the Mail (and The Times). Well, I look at the pictures anyway.

'Under Siege 2' A very worthy and important maxim by which to run one's life. Penn: Ryback's gone, Dane. Travis Dane: Did you see the body? Assumption is the mother of all F**K UPS!

Didn't Bournemouth have -10 points last season and -17 this? Luton have -30 this season for a variety of reasons.

What a brilliant idea! Let's not have a manager at all. It would save money and we couldn't do any worse.

We've all passed a lot of water since then. All that matters now is where we go from here. One day we will all look back on this and have a good laugh (if I'm still around).

You'll get no stick from me, but I've seen too many false dawns to ever have got excited. I won't even say 'I told you so' ...oops

A bad workman will always blame his tools. It's been obvious to most of us for some time now that this fellow is tactically and motivationally clueless. Some basic organisation and sense of purpose with players given simple, straightforward instructions that maximise their capabilities and negate the opposition's are not too much to ask for.
