Pamplemousse

With a new manager, 11th Pellegrino and new signings, 17th Pellegrino and no signings, 19th

Sacking him was Les Reed’s worst decision here. Second worse decision was appointing Pellegrino. Sadly, two wrongs do not make a right.

Oh dear, another last minute goal conceded to lose the game. The sleeping giant must be taking a short nap...

The skates concede a last minute goal. Happy days

Out of anyone I’d say Romeu is that person.

Not when he’s always injured. If he were to stay fit then by all means keep him. But he’s no use to us if he’s on the treatment table and on big wages.

I reckon he’ll come into the first team next season and we’ll offload Austin.

Yup. Them and Brighton are in big trouble with their remaining games.

If we go behind early I think things will get pretty nasty. Certainly there should be lots of ‘sack the board’ chants

I’m normally one for giving managers time, but we will go down unless we change the manager. Just someone with a basic knowledge of tactics will do.

Draw is the best result for us. Or even a Stoke win, because I think Huddersfield will end up slipping down the table in the coming weeks.

Everton fans are not happy at all. They’ll be OK because, as I posted in another thread, they have a really easy run of fixtures, but Allardyce won’t be there very long.

Comfortably midtable is Puel. Back in the good old days. They’re doing us a favour by beating Watford atm.

Arsenal seem to be at their best when they’re under a bit of pressure.

If we lose tomorrow, and the club still stick with Pellegrino, then the focus must shift onto the board. If being in the relegation zone doesn’t make them wake up, then nothing will until we’re officially down.

Palace losing 3-0 already!

The Allardyce effect

Despite how rubbish we are, we really should be beating dross at home like Brighton.

Brighton have only scored in 2 of their last eight (in 45 minutes nine) league games. If we can’t beat them then there will be something seriously, seriously wrong.

So Lloris is doubtful it seems. Their backup Vorm is pretty good though (if he ever wants first team football we should go for him)

I know you weren’t keen on the idea but I reckon Strachan would be the ideal person, if we went down the short-term route. The comeback of older British managers seems to be all the rage this season.

I love Griffit’s passion for the club even though he was never more than a bit part player for us, but his ‘snippets’ this window have not been particularly reliable, so we shall see. Only person from PSG I can think of is Ben Arfa. I’m sure Puel said he tried to sign him, so we’ll see I guess.

Pellegrino’s still here unfortunately

I’d like to know why he’s off to some fancy do in Bristol at a crucial time of the transfer window.

Technically he’s right, our last game against a top 6 side, we got a point and a clean sheet.
