Niasse banned. Got to be good news but will look even worse for MP if we do lose.

It's a fair shout that any statement would need to be backed up with actions at a later date and couldn't be trusted until it was.

The very fact he hasn't done anything is a cause for concern. Some form of statement about his positive future plans for the club wouldn't go amiss.

b l l o x. If you think the bloke's good enough fill your boots. Most don't. They are entitled to say so, and it doesn't make them spoilt brats.

I would usually agree but the fact is our utterly abject performances, his "tactics", and his post and pre-match witterings mark him out as as a man so far out of his depth that to call for his head after 12 games is more the act a Good Samaritan than a spoilt brat.

Don't disagree with the sentiment but your formation has us starting with 11 outfield players.

No, but in the short term it's about staying in this league. Non-entertaining football ( if indeed that is what we were to get if we happened to employ him - ask Palace fans if they were entertained by their 3 nil win over Arsenal last season) with decent results is immeasurably preferable to the (excruciatingly) non-entertaining cack with poor results we've been served up this season and a lot of last.

A manager who's never been relegated with a proven track record of turning round teams who are performing badly, getting worse, looking like they may well go down and preventing them from going down? Yeah, what could he possibly improve.

The battering we stand to receive in that game is terrifying. Definitely worth one of these As for Everton we simply have to win.

Sack the manager

Expected the rise to come to an end - that bit was obvious. However, did not expect such a steep decline and nor do I think it should be happening given the quality of our squad.

Possible that all candidates got told they would have to work with the existing backroom (£ reasons) and MP was the only one who agreed.

You are of course correct. You have been warning against complacency for years whilst all those around you remained with their heads planted firmly in the sand doubting, even mocking, you. You are now being revealed in your true light as a visionary soothsaying genius.

Agree to an extent but unfortunately the manager was also brought in during that "incredible window"!

What makes it even worse is his interviews indicate he actually seems to think it's going quite well and we've just been unlucky.

No sign of anything whatsoever from the Chinese chap. Bit worrying really, would prefer at least a nuanced press statement that he's not happy with how it's going currently.

The problem with this argument is that every player on that list has proven at different times in their careers that they are capable of playing well and being good attackers. They have ability, it's up to the manager to motivate them and set the team up to take advantage of those abilities.

Did he really say that? FFS what an utter ***t this man is.

It's not the result, it's the performance. Didn't expect to win but a bit of fight, a goal, even a hint of looking like scoring might soften the blow. We got none of these.

It's a real tough one but I suppose I'd just about have to say 100 per cent OUT.

Sit your excitable arse down knobhead.

Sure he could be persuaded with the right offer. We need a rescue act to try to claw ourselves out of the mess this utter clown has left us in.

Allardyce. At least for the rest of the season.

Never been more sure of anything in my saints supporting life than the fact that this idiot is utterly hopeless and needs to be sacked.

I think it may have been pony.
