Working for Michael-Golding-Mayer?

Also the ticketing site doesn't say it's on General Sale?

It's okay, the club doesn't need "legacy fans" after all. People from around the globe are queuing up to see Ayew-Vardy-BDCR in person. Before they get retired to a museum.

This feels like a 1994 level of unpreparedness for the top flight. And that's a criminally low bar to currently be ducking under.

Hard to say if it's this season, two years ago or 01/02.

When we got relegated to League One, I decided I'd seen the worst thing that could ever happen to the club and I wouldn't let the negativity rule my life any more. I'm close to feeling as negative about things now as I did back in 2008, but more importantly, I'm starting to realise that being a regular at the ground is just a waste of time...

Said before the game that we shouldn't have started with that same front three Criticised the players for disappearing off at full time Constructive criticism for all involved on and off the pitch. Openly loves the club as a local radio pundit should.

Rudkin Out minute was weak. He'll know he can ride it out if that's the best we can do

Loud Facundo chants from minute one tonight then?

Bad news. I've been told I don't need surgery today. I tried to beg them to make me miss the game tonight but it's no good.

Didn't we have a sell out at Filbo for Man U reserves once because three United first team players were getting match fit after injury? I think I read it on here once.

Soumaré is still a better box to box midfielder than Jason Jarrett. Let's count our blessings.

Lyon v Lille would like a word

I can't be there as I'll be in the hospital and the only reason I'm looking forward to listening to it is because it means they were able to bring me out of anaesthesia.

Best owners in football

Can't speak for iPhone but on Google Wallet I'm 99% sure they're linked to your account. If you change between the two though you're probably ****ed.

Maybe, but I'm finding it hard to justify going to every game. I had to skip Arsenal due to work, and I had a great day in my new career, then went to the indie cinema I'm a member of and won a blu ray in their raffle... Or I could watch us lose 2-0 to Arsenal, struggling to lay a glove in the process, from my seat in SK1 where I've got 10 rows of spectators separating me from the people who want to sing for 90 minutes.

I can't see us paying him off, so either another Premier League club takes a punt on him, and we get some compensation, he resigns, or he does lead us into the new season. Unless he has some kind of relegation clause.

Staying up would be a bigger miracle than 14/15, but I wrote us off after the Hull game that season too. Football is weird.

If we hire Sean Dyche I hope it's before my ST renewal goes through

Got a funny feeling about this one. Probably because for the second home game in a row I can't go. I'm due to miss a performance of the season.

Fair. We should at least be using all the tools available to us. Hard to justify not trying Mav (who is also frustrating) and Cundo sooner.

Looks like we actually created chances today with those two. Not gonna lie I wasn't able to follow the game at all today due to circumstances out of my control, but from what I've seen in recent weeks, we're trying to build our opportunities but due to a lack of quality we lose the ball before we can execute it. Much as I like Winks it looks like we may have handed over possession less today as a result of him being on the bench.

The part where one was allowed to spend £22m on Oliver Skipp and the other has had to make do with the mess and a board that lied to him about what he could do in January. The defence was garbage under Cooper and it's garbage now. The major difference between the two is goal threat. That I'll grant you. Cooper's tactic was spin the wheel and sometimes you win. Utter no brain. RvN has a philosophy and was probably told the he could recruit to fit it because the people running the club are delusional. But it'll take time to cook with the shite he's got to work with.

Imagine thinking the squad is playing any worse than we did under Cooper. I don't know what else to tell you.
