  1. Both can be true simultaneously.

    What do I mean? I mean what I said. I was never expecting salvation but I didn’t expect another manager who would use us as an experiment for his weird theories about how football should be played. I expected us to be at the very least competitive in our games instead of raising a white flag before we’ve even kicked off. I expected effort right from the start. I expected that at least once a game I would see something that would get me up out of my seat. Results were not a concern for me but this half season should have been used a a preparation for the next.

    I don’t buy this. Sure, they’re not the greatest players around but they’ve not been allowed to play as a coherent team. Any idiot could have set them up better on Saturday and there are plenty of us on here who could give it a go.
  4. Why should you get a refund when you have had the enormous privilege to watching Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and all the other truly amazing teams in “The World’s Bestest League” ?
  5. Their second goal seemed to happen in slow motion.
  6. If only he’d moved sooner on Saturday.
  7. Season ticket income is a small percentage of the club’s overall revenue. If 30,000 people each paid an extra £100 a season that would be less than £3m of extra income. There is VAT to come off that of course and I don’t think we have that many ST holders. The extra £2.5m wouldn’t even pay the salary of some players let alone managerial compensation.
  8. Whenever we came home from abroad with our caravan it was searched on both sides of the crossing.

    Still a sovereign independent country.
  10. Yep, I was referring to purchases. There may have been some currency variations over the period of these but not significant. Whatever, we’ve paid over the odds for a lot of players.
  11. Different dog, same shite.
  12. Our record transfer is Kamaldeen Sulemana. Just let that sink in for a moment.

    Revolutionary! Has anyone ever tried this? I would love to see how this works in action. Our lack of goals has a lot to do with not playing anybody up at the spearpoint. We were at home, against Wolves, and what does the clown do? He picks a back five which includes two right backs both playing in the right back position and getting in each other’s way, and Dibling and ‘Show Pony Sulemana’ ©️ as our only attacking threats who are unsurprisingly double marked for most of the first half. It’s no wonder that we spend the whole time passing the ball across the back because that’s where most of our players are. Fernandes was the one stand out player so Dippy Doric hauls him off for no apparent reason. We all thought that the must have had an injury because there was no other reason for it. It never crossed our minds that Duric might just be clueless.

    Those of us who were there know where the bulk of the blame lies.

    Today was the end for me. The starting line up was bizarre. No attackers, two right backs, a back five. Or was it six? Substituting Fernandes. And I was bloody cold. I can’t really find a way to blame Juric for that but I’m still looking.
  16. The first perhaps. The second was beyond his reach. I’m more disappointed with Sulemana’s goal line clearance of their goal line when he had to score.
  17. No connection whatsoever.

    Also ‘get a striker on the pitch’
  19. You still get adverts but they’re for BBC programmes and products.

    Heh, Vladimir! Come and look at the view out of this open window.
  21. But then they wouldn't be able to charge their Teslas. Oh well.
  22. Not for two weeks.
  23. Why, the ones that tend to push your own point of view of course!
