It’s as if some people want to lose 12-0, on top of finishing on 10 points.

Well, a large number of people were insistent that Juric be sacked, so there we go. Six more of them to enjoy.

The fact that such a consistently crap footballer has been a stalwart in our team for about 8 years is about the most fitting avatar to this period in our history that I can think of.

We’ve gone to sh*t in the cricket too.

TBH the majority of comments I’ve seen on social media are more aimed at PSR rules and pointing out that the three promoted clubs are going straight back down in back to back seasons. Ipswich and Leicester had brighter starts and got a handful of extra points on the board but since around Christmas, we’ve all been equally awful. If we’d been promoted with literally any manager then replaced him in summer, everyone would be saying, “serves them right, ridiculous decision,” looking at our current form. I’ve no idea why you want us to look that stupid.

That’s a ludicrous thing for any club to do with any manager. We’d have been the laughing stock of English football, the players would probably have taken it very poorly and this season would have gone no better than it has in real life.

Looks like the Blades have blown it. Losing to Plymouth puts them five points behind Leeds/Burnley with a far worse GD. Four games left.

TBF he can probably hit them better/harder than any of the players Ramsdale usually trains against.

Might have something to do with being 3-0 down after 14 minutes against Spurs, playing four at the back, because our defenders are so sh*t at this level. It seems like all three managers are, perhaps rightly, setting us up primarily to not get spanked.

34-5 collapse in the middle order. Oh well, fun while it lasted.

This is more like our usual trip to the Oval. From 84-1 to 90-4. Albert chewing up 27 balls before getting out for 1.

Almost as bad as, ‘I could care less’.

Have to say I prefer red ball Wheal to white ball Wheal.

No, a ROMAN.

Looks a lot like one of the shirts we played in under Burley, c.2007. Or at least it did initially, after a couple of washes it was white T-shirt with some streaks of red and plastic flakes of what was once a flybe logo.

Looks like the three day military operation which Trump promised to end in a day is going to keep running. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c89gpg4jpllt

The bad news is our ‘play like Real Madrid’ strategy might not work against Arsenal, on the last day.

If I was forced to bet my own money on the last seven games, I’d say we’ll pickup a point at Leicester and that’s it. We don’t have the players to pick up ‘a few results’ and Rusk has never managed above the National League.

Clearly you’re not down with the kids, so allow me to fill you in. Supposedly old fashioned names are now making a post-millennial, pseudo-ironic comeback. It all started with former Everton keeper, Rob Les. in 2041 we’re going to win the U21s league with Iain Perkins, Graham Watts and Keith Brown.

Other than the fact that we own his contract and we’re likely to be playing much higher up the league than QPR next season? He was never going to do anything other than struggle here this season, if he got on the pitch at all. Amongst all the awful transfer decisions we’ve made this season, I can’t see why anyone would have a problem with loaning our RE.

As far as I can tell, most fans seem to respect us for still turning up and getting behind our team, in spite of everything. People start laughing at us when fans start running onto the pitch, throwing their STs at players etc.

He should never have been in charge of recruitment at all. The fact that we let a man who has only ever managed at Championship level conduct our transfer deals just shows how badly organised we are/were in that department. Saying what he should and shouldn’t have done is beside the point, it should never have been him making the decisions.

I think if an alien spaceship landed on this planet and they asked me to explain Tottenham Hotspur, this is the picture I’d show them.

😆 Every single one of the players you’re annoyed at, we have literally phoned up and said, "we want to pay you £xxx to play for us in the PL." You have a very strange idea of stealing. It’s the clubs fault, not the players, aim your vitriol at the directors box if you must. Nobody is asking you to kiss anyone’s arse either, you’ve made that up for dramatic effect.

Saints are now on their third manager since Leicester last scored at home. Not won, scored.
