If we ever hired that fat fraud I would actively want us to be relegated.

The only reason for not sacking Hughes is that there isn't anyone better out there (who would come to us). At least defensively we looked solid, that's the only positive from today. We'll see how solid we really are next weekend.

The fact that we've won once in ten games and aren't in the relegation zone shows how awful some of the teams really are. Write off Man City away, but Fulham away is essential now. I'd get rid of Hughes this evening tbh, just get someone in like Jardim and then give him a war chest in January and replace the mediocre players we have. It won't happen because Reed and Krueger don't have the balls to do so.

Same players who failed to perform for other managers still fail to perform, what a surprise. Not.

Newcastle were abject, but we didn't do enough to win the game, didn't test the goalkeeper, overall very poor. If Jardim is available and wants to come then get him in now. Can't see why he would though, we essentially need an entire new team.

Overall, poor. These aimless long balls forward have got to stop, I don't have a problem with us trying to get the ball forward quickly but not when it's straight to an opponent. Thankfully, our opponents are terrible. I still think we'll end up winning.

Both teams are terrible. We are marginally better, but this is a low quality game.

Are they allowed to do that?

I'm confident we're going to win. I really hope it's comfortable but I have a feeling it will be a nervy tight game and McCarthy will keep us in it with a series of spectacular saves.

They were in Southampton for this http://www.comedycentral.co.uk/stand-up/articles/everything-you-need-to-know-about-comedy-central-live

Also puts to doubt the muppets who think they'd beat us easily. They really wouldn't, if we were to draw them in the cup we'd win with ease. We could name our reserves and still beat them.

Adrian has always had problems with reality. He thinks a new manager will magically solve all our problems and we'll get to the Champions League just like that. Best to ignore his views, it's just the usual nonsense.

Jake Hesketh just scored for Burton at Fratton

Hahahaha Jake Hesketh just put Burton Albion in front away at Portsmouth!

1-0 up now. Who was it trying to claim that Leicester were about to sack him, was it SKD again?

Standard

We simply have to win. They're bottom of the league, zero excuses if we get less than three points. At home against teams of a similar quality to us, we have been table to take the lead (Leicester and Brighton), so if we can maintain that side of things and show our defensive capabilities as we did against Bournemouth, we should be able to get the three points.

The standard of MLS is terrible. The attacking quality I would argue at the moment is Championship standard, the defending League 2.

Yup, I expected the worse and happy to be proved wrong. Bournemouth weren't at the races but defensively we looked solid. McCarthy didn't have a lot to do and that's down to us stopping their play.

Long was superb when he came on, caused them all sorts of problems.

Newcastle is the must win game, I said I'd be content with 4 points from these 2 games.

I only watched the second half, but we were the better team. Bournemouth, as always, bottle it against us. They almost looked scared

What game were you watching?

For that team selection alone I’ve changed my mind on Hughes. OUT now.
