Taylor’s definition of ‘done well’ is very different to ours. I wouldn’t call losing every single match, very heavily in some cases, ‘done well’. Any more than a blue steak in my local pub would ‘well done’.

Yep, “We've actually done well against the big teams, and we won't roll over at home” just look at those results

Big teams: SFC 0 v Man U 3, SFC 1 v Chelsea 5, SFC 0 v Spurs 5, SFC 1 v Newcastle 3, SFC 0 v Villa 3...and still Man City and Arsenal to come

Even the little ones: SFC 0 v Brentford 5, SFC 1 v B/mouth 3, SFC 0 v Brighton 4, SFC 0 v Burnl............

Thank fuck we're no pushovers at home.

An overused phrase from all the managers we’ve had this season is “ trained well”. Rusk used the phrase to describe Wellington today. 
 

Given we get beat most every week i make the connection that what successive managers at SFC have called “ trained well” is actually bollocks. 
 

Somebody ought to tell players and the managers that what they are doing is the opposite of “ training well”. My definition of trained well is when, following that training, the team performs well, and wins. If the training is rubbish then the performance will be as well. 
 

So, I have no hopes for the last three matches until I hear that the new manager thinks that the training is and has been shite that the sports science is and has been shite and turns the place upside down to start again.

In fairness, we did play pretty well (for us anyway) against the top two, Liverpool and against Arsenal. Went ahead in the three league games we've played.

Everything will be fine. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

Depends on your definition of wrong.

Well, at least the last 2 actually trained all week and not gave players day off to get their hair down
