I actually find it impossible to find the words to adequately describe how angry I am that we have blundered our way into this ridiculous position. I cannot believe we sold Fonte with no replacement in place (after being told by a certain **** that we would not sell him without a replacement being in place). That was monumentally stupid enough in its own right. But to then not get a replacement in after losing VVD just defies belief.

Birmingham and Wigan are the most recent examples of that. Fair play to you if you would take it, I certainly wouldn't.

This completely. Whatever the issues were it should have been, "Ok Jose you can go but only after we have signed someone to replace you" Totally fecking ridiculous and compounded by hearing his song sung LOUDLY by the Wham fans today.

Sadly I have to say you are probably right about Forster. I have absolutely zero confidence in the bloke.

He's a big part of the issue. He was THE issue until we lost our central defence. That is now a bigger issue.

We are in bother here, make no mistake about it. We've been meh at best all season but this centre back debacle has catapulted us right into the mix.

Ha ha - thought the same.

Jesus Christ, I bet he's out for at least a month.

Ok then, l'll relax...

We are going to need at a minimum 3 more wins to stay up. Of our remaining fixtures I'd say only the home games against Wham, Palarse (LOL!), Hull, Bournemouth, and possibly Stoke fall into the "should win" category. A win tomorrow will settle lot of nerves.

Totally disagree that most of our CBs make a couple of those sort of **** ups in a game. Agree that a young player breaking into the first team is more likely to be more susceptible to making errors which was why I said being forced to play too often too soon could damage him.

*Just remembered Fox did it, and if that's an indicator of Stephens' level we really are ducked:scared:

To be honest, whilst he obviously had a stormer against Liverpool Stephens has looked a quite dodgy - Swansea handball, ridiculous clearance blasted straight into his own player against Arsenal (I honestly cannot ever remember seeing that done before). He may well make it, hope he does, but playing regularly for the first team now could damage him and the thought of it is pretty scary.

Paco Diaz, a foreign fancy dan winger way ahead of his time. I think he may have even refused to play to force a move back to the continent.

That first sentence sums the magnitude of this f.uck up perfectly. The bloke has been a half decent, very error prone back up player at best throughout his time with us but has looked quite good this season - now he's our main man FFS!

Best odd-looking Italian attacking options in the whole league.

Agree Tadic has been f@ckin sh!t this season, he really has.

We actually played well in the 2nd half, Boufal superb. All of which makes it all the more infuriating we lost. F. F. S5 losses from 6 games now, the only win against a Leicester team seemingly shot to pieces. That was a must win, West Ham on Saturday is in the same category

Familiar pattern. You could see it going that way. I'd love to say I'm confident we can turn it round but frankly I am not. At all.

Haha, Channon got completely taken out in the box and its an indirect free kick! Like you say, never see them given now (in or outside the box). On another note, it's no wonder they never needed a rest in those days - the pace of the game was so slow it was virtually like having a rest on match day.

Hmmm "host of premier league clubs". I'm not sure what number constitutes a host but I'd like to think we are not in that number.

A disgraceful embarrassment.

Cannot remember him doing anything that remotely made me think he was going to be a good player.

Outstandingly bad for someone who looked so good when he arrived. His shooting is comical.

Strong bench!!
