Exactly. If you take the last 10 years or so in context, most fans should be more than happy.

Not until you publish the different names.

Agree with pretty much all of this. Running a football club of our stature and means is no easy task, all things given, since our return to the Premiership I think we've got it pretty much right.

Absolutely fabulous news, really can't believe so many look at things like this in a negative light.

Both our lads stepped up for the pressure kicks. Shame it worked out as it did, but Germany deserved the win. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

I care, Germany played football. We hoofed it. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

It would be nothing short of embarrassing if we were to somehow fluke a win here. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

' Humping it long' is not a tactic. It's a way of playing when you are bereft of ideas...! Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

We look awful, defending deep and humping it long to a lone front man. They will take us to the cleaners. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

I don't think that's quite correct, I believe that he is booked to do some motivational speaking on positivity and how to win from a losing position. Honest.

Dunno, on here it's pretty much cut and dried for some, gospel even.

Great with cones. Not a 'douche' - whatever that is!

Sammy is much better on cones. I think.

Have we not bought chuffin' nobody yet... nobody..! Come on Les, get a grip. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Excellent - let's give him at least 2 seasons before we think about shooting him though. #longtermism

Not too sure about that to be honest, but you're right he is a top player. It occurred to me last night while watching him, I wonder when other clubs will come in for him - wonder what sort of price he would fetch. Not looking to offload or anything - just wondered.

Thought he played really well, made himself available, looked to pass forward and his dead ball delivery was a bit special last night.

Mate, I really feel for our new guy, whoever he is. If we are not 3 nil up within the first 15 minutes of our first game of the season, I can see his tenure being very, very short. Match threads last season, absolutely priceless - we have some right fickles on here - personally, just for the LOL's I can't wait.

Shock and awe is a legitimate military tactic designed to try to destabilise and demoralize enemy forces with an initial show of strength and fire power. It's purpose is to try to bring about an end to prolonged hostilities, which failed during Desert Storm. I can assure you that after this initial tactic most British ground forces would have been focused on wining the hearts and minds of the local population. Believe it or not, British service personnel are highly trained individuals who are actually pretty good at what they do. They respond to terror related incidents all around the globe, they do not incite such incidents. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Sorry but this made me laugh a little - it's very easy to display such principles when it's not your money. Very noble attitude and all that - but if that 80 million pounds were yours, where would your principles be then?

It's not about telling them to f*ck off though - that's the easy bit. It's about managing a player who doesn't want to be at this club, wants to be elsewhere and whose head is likely gone. F*ck off is easy. What happens next aint.

You said I was writing people off, I wasn't. I didn't write off Claude, I was willing to go with him for another season, I think that's called supporting the manager, not writing him off. Now that he has gone though, I will be getting behind the new man, and supporting him as well - I hope they give him more than one season. My issue is, and always has been, that it will be hard to improve on the position we finished and cup run that we had. Total support here, not writing anybody off at all.

Sorry, I'm writing nobody off at all, I think you've grabbed the wrong end of the stick...! Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

For all the abuse you have already received / are going to receive, I hate to say it but I tend to agree with you. I've always maintained that you may not like how he played, but CP got us to Wembley and 8th. I don't think it is going to be easy to top that, it could actually be hampering the search for CP's replacement. We may well play much nicer football next year, but bettering our end result might well be very difficult. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
