Whitey Grandad

I think it's more likely now than it was yesterday.

Somehow it would make relegation easier to accept.

We're in the Premiership now. The only way is down.

I would say worrying, not exciting. I'm too old for excitement.

Why wouldn't it? It'll all be gone by Monday night and if not, what's the problem?

3) we have to stay in the Premiership first. That is now more doubtful, in my opinion.

Now you're being silly. No chance.

Gastón should be ok.

Er... Which one is Forren?

Great, that's two more down, only the rest of the squad to go.

Totally different from a club like ours, then.

I've just looked up 'schettino' in Italian and it means 'skate'. Scary.

Why, does he speak Portuguese?

Surprised at the stupidity of the timing. Three points on Monday are crucial to our survival.

Yes please.

Yes, that was then, this is now.

Like many Argentinians it is Italian in origin but as they all speak Spanish (and in his case no English) then I would guess at Pochettino. It would appear to be a diminutive if 'pochette' which would mean 'little handbag'

Who's going to do the talking?

The principle is fine, it's the timing that promotes disbelief.

Wtfiln?

Thanks, Nigel. Take the money and walk away with your head held high. You will forever be a legend here for what you have achieved and I doubt we'll see your type again.

He hasn't got a chance.

That's always been my feelings.

Exactly. No matter how good this new bloke might be he doesn't know any of our players or anything about Premier League football. Staying up needed a very steady hand on the tiller and now is absolutely not the time to be risking any hiccups.

Yup.
