Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't we got the 4 most expensive signing's in the clubs history all sat on the bench? Pellegrino, you're a ****!

Sort of. Maybe they should have given him until Xmas and seen how we were getting on this season. The football was boring but as I've always said, had all those 0-0 games finished 2-2 or 3-3 we'd have finished in the same position and he'd probably still be our manager.

It is what it is. It won't be good for the club but The Premiership has become something horrible. Sanchez on £400k a week when Hartlepool need £200k to survive and Chester need £50k for similar reasons. There's something seriously wrong with the game!

I think you're right. J-Rod to assist in matters. :-(

Reports suggesting that he's off to WBA on loan until the end of the season. I can't help but feel that this is another target missed.

I don't see us winning this. I think a draw is the best we can hope for. :-/

We may as well have take Ulloa on loan from Leicester. At least he's got some premiership experience. I see WHU are trying to sign Pelle. Surely he would have been a better option for us?

I wonder if this will pave the way for Gabbi's rumoured exit?

You wouldn't know it!

I thought the starting 11 was the most positive thing MP has done for weeks. Yoshida in for Stephens and maybe Boufal in for Tadic and I think you've got our strongest 11. No doubt he'll change it all again for the next game but I'd like to see him sticking with Romeu, Lemina and Hoj and try to get some consistency in the middle.

Probably the most impressive starting line-up we've seen from MP. Lemina, Romeu & Hoedt all starting is very positive. Nice to see Gabbi starting a game too.

If I had to point the finger it would be at Tadic, Redmond & Boufal. Their inconsistent performances and dog **** attitudes are embarrassing.

That Everton win was the worst thing that could have happened. Had we drawn or lost that game he'd be gone by now. We should have replaced him months ago. A new manager would have introduced a change in tactics and given the players a much needed kick up the arse. It's too late now. Unless Reed has got someone up his sleeve lined up to start on Monday, I think we're properly ****ed.

Yes, and those who saw the asset stripping 3 years ago were ridiculed on this site. As you rightly say, the last 5 years have been a complete waste. What did Les say? "We're building a squad capable of regular European football". How? By selling every player that's capable of delivering European football? Why build a team when you can just sell your prize assets and pocket the proceeds? We're failing to compete in the transfer market by refusing to compete with our closest rivals. I understand that it's a business and it has to be run carefully, but it's embarrassing the number of times we've supposedly had players (and a manager) on the brink of joining us, only to see them go elsewhere at the last minute for a far superior deal. We're not even at the races. Still, when you've got someone whose intention is that take the money and run, you don't really stand a chance. I hope I'm wrong, but I see history repeating itself. We'll be relegated. We'll struggle in the Championship after losing at least 80% of our current squad and within 3 seasons we'll be in administration again.

Bottom 3 and that's where we'll stay until the end of the season. You've only got to look at our form (the worst in all 4 divisions), the attitude of some of our players and our clueless manager to see that we've not got a cat in hells chance of getting out of this mess. Tomorrow will just be another embarrassing display.

New manager. There's some decent players there who are obviously being very poorly managed. All I see is a manager who hasn't got a clue what he's doing tactically and clearly has no man management skills whatsoever.

I don't understand why we're not trying to sign Ben Brereton from Forest. He looks like a real prospect. He looks sharp and hungry and knows what it's like to play in the UK, unlike some of the ****e we've signed recently. Sadly, it looks like he might be going to Liverpool to sit on the bench. :-/

We're 4 years into Les's 5 year plan. Not exactly sure what that plan was/is? Pretty sure it didn't involve certain people taking as much money out of the club as possible, but that seems to be all that's happened. Funny, asset stripping was mentioned about 3 seasons ago and those who suggested it were ridiculed. It looks like those who suggested it are now being proved right.

What concerns me is that Pellegrino isn't man enough to admit his mistakes and do the honourable thing and resign. I'm sure everybody would have a lot more respect for him if he held his hands up and admitted that he's done. How he can stand there week after week, spouting the same nonsense after making the same old mistakes is a complete mystery. He's just making himself to look a bigger idiot than he already is.

There's an interesting piece on Sky today about Lemina and how he could be the solution to our problems. It talks about him sitting on the bench whilst out of form players, such as Steven Davis, are picked ahead of him. It does make you wonder WTF is going on.

All of them have their own part to play in our demise. Katharina has been asset stripping the club for the last few years. Clearly just looking to get as much out of it whilst she could. Reed & Ralph have made some terrible decisions, but if the owner is instructing them to sell because she wants money then what option do they have? After all, they're employees so they have to do what they're told. The manager is to blame for the poor style of play and some of the head scratching tactics and team selections. He should have resigned or been given the boot months ago. That said, Les may not be in a position to fire him because that would involve shelling out a load more money and that's the last thing KL would want if she's intent on milking it for everything that she can. The day the Chinese investment was announced was a very sad day in our history IMO. They've brought nothing to the plate and I worry about any club who has such big investment from China as I see it all as short term investment. I think a number of Chinese owned clubs could find themselves in a big mess in the next 5-10 years.

I think we're gone. Clueless manager. Clueless board who have been asset stripping us for the last few years. Certain players who should be ashamed of themselves for their sheer lack of effort. The problem is that they know they can leave and get employment elsewhere. Most of them don't give a **** who they play for.

Imagine if we're relegated and a win today would have been enough to have kept us up. Potentially, that handball could be the act that costs us our Premier league status. It's disgusting to think that such a selfish, dishonest act could hold such disastrous consequences.

Exactly. He's learned nothing from what happened against palace. I ****ing hate the clueless *****. At this rate we'll be playing P*mpey next season.

We haven't got time. That was a six pointer today. 2-0 up and as soon as they got one back you could see what was going to happen. Pellegrino is a ****ing clueless ****. He should've been fired before the Everton game. That's us down.
