Whilst the thought of Fat Sam was anathema during the Adkins, Poch and Koeman periods he's probably our best bet of getting up the table over the next couple of years. Even if we were to find "another Poch" we just don't have the players to deliver his sort of vision any more. We've now got a bottom half squad so we need a manager who can get the most out of them. If we manage to improve the squad over the next couple of years then we can look at playing decent football again. So, if we do go down that route and he keeps us up, let's not sack him in the summer and replace him with a fancy foreigner. Give him a chance to bring in some decent players. Then sack him.

I bet he burns Grenfell effigies too, the monster.

Is that his address? Is it like "Ask Rupert"?

You're right. Elyounoussi could have been our new Gaston or Elia. Just kiddiiiiiiing.

Maybe Soggy is Ken Kratz?

Krueger is Gao's mouthpiece but Gao has nothing to say so we get Ralph-speak plus Les Reed's views on the footballing side.

Foreskin?

He's a **** owner, completely the worst sort, as far as I can tell.

The size of that head and the little midget arms.

Out-out shoes with a buckle.

If you were doing a combined team: Dodd --- Lundekvam --- Yoshida --- Bertrand ---------------------Oakley----Lemina------------------- ------Fernandes-----Hojbjerg-----Camara------- -----------------------------Crouch------------------------- So, I reckon 6 outfield players from that relegated team get in our current team. Great stuff.

Everyone should tweet that article with #Gaoingdown

That's actually an easy one to do. Although do common-folk carry a handkerchief nowadays?

That fourth paragraph is the main worry, in a nutshell. We're in some sort of grim stasis because Gao is just a statue.

5 in 42.

And Gao. A massive "**** off Gao" banner, would be da bomb.

No one likes it but having the ability to laugh at oneself is a virtue. I think people also hope it might stimulate some change, if we are completely ruined. Oh, 4-1.

Ah, fair enough.

Other people seem to think we are. Are you basing that statement on Ings playing slightly deeper than Long? If so, it's a 442.

Any manager who thinks they can rock up at Man City and play an open 442 is inept and doesn't deserve their job.

We aren't actually playing 442 are we? I mean that would be ****ing obviously idiotic so I assumed we aren't.

I reckon it will need to be at least 6.

He might do a key pass later though.
