We really are shit now, aren’t we.

It’s the recent Oxford 4-0 hammering. Losing 4-0 at League One to a team like Oxford is a totally humiliating experience. At home too. Losing to a premier team is bad, but the standards cushion the humiliation. Getting demolished by a fairly mediocre team at League One level is a new level of shite.

Russell Martin is a grifter. He’s the David Brent of football management, and he’s been woeful everywhere he’s been. Get rid of this waster, or we’ll be relegated by Spring.

At least we’ll be winning more games in League 2.

The club’s in free fall.

After that performance I’m confident Russell Martin will get us out of this division… and into League 2.

I found the new rules in the World Cup totally baffling at times and inconsistent.

We won 3-3. 😎

I think Rodgers’ Leicester team was arguably as good as the won that won the league. Not sure what went wrong, but pre covid we looked nailed on for a Champions League position. Rodgers isn’t full of shit.

Drury is hit and miss. He always sounds like he’s trying too hard to create a poetic moment with tortured metaphors, and an emotional tone that combines awestruck captivation and bed-wetting enthusiasm.

There’s no way we could afford Vardy’s wages anyway. Unless you paid him in red bulls and chewing tobacco.

Since Brendan Roger’s left, the wheels were coming off. I know Enzo did well, but that season was basically an audition for him to get better clubs. He must’ve known he could bounce back and took the risk. After that, the club has felt like a wheelie bin filled with concrete perched on a lake of quicksand.

There’s a lot of wasters and bullshitters at the heart of club, that were able to parasite their way to a cushy job after Vichai departed. But like woodworm in your floor boards, you don’t notice it immediately. But after 10 years of nibbling away, you collapse. Unless someone cuts out the rot, we could be in serious trouble. Not sure Top has the awareness, interest or balls to fix it.

I know it’s a sensitive topic, but the female commentators don’t work for me. I’m not sure exactly why, but I think it has something to do with their high pitched voices clashing with the crowd noises. They have a tendency to get slightly shrill when things get exciting, and it sounds wrong. Same with some of the higher pitched male commentators too. A deeper voice works better, and anchors the tonal range better. However my dislike of female pundits is probably just sexism! 😎

It’s so weird to think we’ll be playing AFC Wimbledon and Bromley next season. I remember a decade or so ago when AFC Wimbledon had trials on a park, and began from the bottom tier. It really is so brutally humbling. I remember our stint in League 1 in 2008, and I’m still tingling from hearing the Champions League anthem serenading King Power Stadium. And here we. Football, aye. So glorious and horrible.
