Playing in a dominant team, plus one was a massive deflection. He’s a midtable championship player.

The atmosphere was shit against Spurs

Seagrave is a nightmare to get into or even nearby. A protest there is logistically difficult - the ground makes the most sense.

It’s incredibly we were ever good with this lot running the show.

What the f ucking hell are we playing at? Don't look a gifthorse in the mouth.

I don't think he'd be worse

Looks shit anyway but You can just imagine Rudkin's text-to-speech garbling wingers names as he keeps missing the hole from his office golf set, him thumbing through different notebooks looking for Lazz-io's chairmans number, getting through, garbling Tchaouna's name, getting nowhere, putting the phone down to return to watching Sky Sports News. PSV Eindhoven have reached an agreement with Loum Tchaouna on personal terms. "Oh, what's Gradel doing these days, he was a winger right?"

True but a CEO just has to in a way the DoF doesn't. No puns intended here but across the board and top to bottom the club has been awfully ran. Charity donations, coconut, donut and beer giveaways have completely masked incompetence away from footballing matters too like bare-faced lies on tickets/coaches, awful pricing and denial of general sale.

Both but Rudkin (+the board) out is far more likely. He has to be the first target of any protest action. If Rudkin gets heat it means Top does too indirectly, as they are so inextricably linked. It also means Top has to switch on and appoint a successor, if we're still shit (99% likely because he's clueless) then the pressure ramps up at him.

Only through obligation, really. Most of the time she just trots the club line on issue under the guide of listening. She could have forced through real change but never has. She was spotted at a cafe standing event sometime in 2013, here we are 12 years later as one of the 6 clubs without it in the PL.

This should be good news in theory, it’s fantastic but very cramped in there. Hopefully with better opening hours too as it’s less residential.

Ichnusa is my favourite but I was referring to what you see readily available here

Poretti > Moretti > Peroni

The step from five pints to six is the most hangover consequential I think. Had five fairly late on Saturday and was a touch groggy, anymore would have tipped over the edge.

Ghezzal for £12m was also a gross overpayment in 18/19. He was unwanted after a single season at Monaco, he signed on a free and they shifted him for £12,000,000 - such a philanthropist. That was £24m we could have used towards a proper right winger to replace Mahrez. IIRC Raphinha scored 17 goals for Vitoria Guimaraes in 17/18 before moving to Sporting for about £7m. Naturally, Ghezzal went for about £2.5m after we loaned him out for two years, so on those two dossers we spent £24m, made a loss of £21.5m and paid them probably circa £20m in wages too. It’s the classic Rudkin cycle of 1. Be in for a player that no one else is, that 75% of us wouldn’t sign 2. Still take a long time to get the deal over the line 3. Overpay on the fee and wages to actually get the deal over the line 4. The player is predictably rubbish 5. Try and sell, can’t because the wages are too high 6. Get an offer but reject because it’s £500k too low 7. Loan the player out (repeat step 6 if the loan club put an offer in) 8. Leave on a free

Like the club secretary I think.

My heart skipped a beat too

Top directly and indirectly. The statement after relegation was probably untrue too. I doubt he got any abuse directed at him because nobody can access him.

With a fishing rod, chicken and four cans of lager?

The one thing conceivably putting players off is the FFP/PSR cloud. You’d just hold out for a better offer in the summer. Of course those issues are entirely of our own making.

They just lie and lie and lie. They lie about ticket collections in Europe being mandatory - they’re not. They lied completely about mandatory coaches for the FA cup final. Again it comes back to the total lack of standards. The owner doesn’t notice or doesn’t care the senior directors and managers can’t or won’t do their jobs properly.

Bryter Moon is great. It’s about the only place in the city centre that has a good range of local produce. It’s a massive shame a cafe shows up pubs on stocking local beer.

Bournemouth away headloss. Spurs @ H 16/17.

Stems from the zero accountability culture. Why put yourself in the firing line when there’s zero pressure to get results? You get only get grief for being o one fo the few man enough to do it. The players will know they’re on too much money, they’ll know Rudkin is a soft touch and their agents pull the wool over his eyes. Just doing the easy thing is what’s incentivised. Top is just too pally with the squad and too close with Rudkin. If the owner isn’t going to bollock staff or players then the director of football should. Instead we have two meek characters in the most senior footballing positions. Everybody can get away with murder at Disneyland FC. Get promoted after a shambolic relegation and it’s a trip to Monaco - the players must love Top because they take him for a ride with no consequences - even when they f uck up again and again.

Going into this season playing a worse back four than last time is just cuckoo and downstream from our ability of never shifting anyone.
