Don't agree with that at all. I wouldn't boo him and would hope/expect the majority wouldn't purely on the basis that it would be counter-productive but it would be the very least he deserved. Booing/ironic cheering of hapless tryers - like FF for example - is a different matter and more worthy of your suggested solution.

Reached the bottom of the hill he was already over when Wham bought him. Please let them go down.

I make that pretty much correct. Not tested at all defensively today, had all the play but still couldn't score - for the SIXTH home game in a row FFS - against mediocre-at-best opposition. Can someone please tell me the record for consecutive games/minutes without scoring at home in the Premiership/Premier League.

Well said.

And another thing - why no post match reactions thread some HALF AN HOUR after final whistle!!!??

I can, would have found it more unbelievable if he'd scored. Good player but just absolutely no killer instinct.

Hide My Ass. For the absolute avoidance of any doubt this is the name of a VPN I use and would recommend NOT a random request/demand.

Please try to keep abreast of the evolution of the English language when posting. "Gabby to relish a fresh start like what he did when he first signed for us." Also, we will win 3-0.

Would love to see that now. Really would. 5 years in the reserves Virgil or alternatively come crawling back, apologise and see how you get on. Sadly money dictates that it won't happen.

I actually thought I'd have more respect for him if he handed in a transfer request but now he has the manner of it leaves me with even less. Self-serving, conniving w@anker.

Early days obviously but we do look exceptionally sh!t so far.

A skilful weakling.

Surprising stat. Let's see if mardy long contract ***t Virgil can rewrite the record books.

Totally agree with this. The thing that really gets me is I bet the cvnt has been told he can go with our blessing after one more season, yet still he acts like this. Utterly disgraceful.

Yeah, ????. Just SO funny lol

My well connected source tells me it will be someone who has managed a football club before and he will be appointed at some point in the future.

Cedric Soares?

Yeah, finally some good news!!!

Brick walls have a habit of not allowing fires to rampage up the façades of buildings. **** modern cladding systems, give me brick outer skin, insulated cavity, blockwork inner skin all day long. 50 plus dead people would still be alive if that simple construction had applied at Grenfell House.

Looks good in the vid for sure, but there's wide open spaces to exploit that just can't be found in most Prem matches. He's looked poor to ordinary throughout his time with us bar the odd decent performance such as West Brom. The fact Puel dropped him - bizarrely - after that match allows us all to dream that he would have become an influential Premier League quality midfielder for the remainder of the season if only he hadn't been dropped. Perhaps he will will if given the chance by our new man, let's hope so.

Indeed. Puel's out for summer, Puel's out forever. As many others have said I wish him well but am mightily relieved he's gone. Just hope the delay is down to us now having all but secured his successor rather than having failed to do so but concluded we can't hang the bloke out to dry any longer.

I have a bronze statue of someone who looks nothing like Ted Bates.

Agreed, if he stays there will be no announcement that he's staying.

Genuine thanks for that, you've given me renewed hope he will get the sack.

The fact he hasn't gone yet is worryingly suggestive that he will stay. If he does - barring an unprecedented summer of few player sales and several encouraging purchases - my overriding feeling going into the new season will be one of utter trepidation.
