I'm sorry, but if that statement was put together by a PR company they've done a **** job. He's fooling no-one with that sort of tripe. Not even the fishy few will buy it.

Quite. At times it's scary. On another matter, the Premier League turns me off to be honest. I wouldn't be upset if we got relegated. That said there are plenty of other teams in this league who are no better than us, and I think we've done enough to show that we can stay up. I really hope that Cortese doesn't sack Adkins but if he does life goes on.

Only three of the teams in the bottom half of the league have actually won a game. There's no need to panic yet.

Exactly.

He was the weak link yesterday. Every time he got the ball he seemed to into head down headless chicken mode and almost always lost it.

Many thanks for putting those up - I'll have a butchers this evening :-)

So true - designed by a three-year-old with crayons.

I can see that your opinion matters a lot to you but it's not going to count for much with the rest of us unless you tell us why.

That's a really good use of motivational skills if you ask me.

Hate it

Fonte was our best centre-back in League 1. And he was the weaker half of a good centre-back pairing in the Championship. We got him for 1 million quid from Palace and frankly it shows. He was great for us, but he can't hack it at all at this level. To me it's painfully obvious.

I find it hard to blame Jos for the Man U penalty. That was all Davies' fault. His distribution was terrifyingly bad.

If you're good enough you're old enough surely. He can only benefit from that sort of an experience.

What makes you think that? Stranger things have happened. Cortese doesn't strike me as the sort of person to care what other people think. If he gets it into his head that Bagpuss is the best man for the job then Bagpuss will get the job.

A really good article that captured many memories of mine. Well worth a read.

Stop confirming my prejudices.

Sounds like you win all your arguments you hero.

Do you seriously think doing that was classy? To some guy you'd never met? Just because of the football team he supports?

I never thought Bart was any good - and he certainly wasn't lauded in the media like Butland.

From the Torygraph article: Now, reading between the lines, is that or is that not suggesting that Chainrai threatened - as a creditor - to liquidate the club in order to block the Trust's bid (presumably because he wasn't getting offered enough for the stadium) so that his own bid could proceed?

There's disbelief on POL, one guy is threatening to give up his season ticket and that just about sums up the mood.

Hammond was our captain last year - it wouldn't bother me if we sold him

Who gives a ****, he might be crap.
