What a second half at Aberdeen.

All about the refs now.

That will interest the 40 people in Thailand who follow us. Hopefully will help with PSR too.

All about the Polo. YOLO.

A shame Drury wasn't on commentary. "A Romeroverhead kick at this most wonderful time of the year for Spurs. A Cristian Festival at St James".

Soft but the defender took the risk.
-
To be honest, it suits us given our current state.
-
Superb goal from Newcastle.
-
Still not a good result for Ipswich, they should be doing much better this season.

Wow. Clueless is an understatement.

Being in this position has happened before but is relatively rare. The difference is that in the late 80s/ early 90s and 2004-2008 we didn't have a section hero worshipping the owner and telling fans to be careful what they wished for. Mandaric was popular when he first arrived but still had rows with fans. -

The Facebook Banter groups and TalkSport can do what they like. They have no vested interest in the club any more than we do about most others. The fact our own fans are happy to put their own club down, to rewrite history and almost lie about the past because they feel one man who is barely ever here is bigger than the club they profess to care about is pathetic. We had an Official Supporters Club release a statement not condemning the record breaking level garbage on the pitch but instead criticising the fans for complaining about it. This tripe is criticising the fans for not accepting yet another dismal performance among many in the past 16 months by mindlessly applauding it. Do bugger all in the stands but rush to your computer to shout about how loyal and supportive you are. Happy to drag this club down, for some bizarre reason, whilst being a "true fan". -
There were times under Vichai when mistakes were made (allowing Pearson to leave in 2010, the post title recruitment) but he seemed more willing to act when things were sliding. Shakespeare left quickly and the 2018 summer set us up for the next few years before Rodgers ruined it. It was never this bad. Not perfect because no owners are but the club had more about it.

"They do not care about their surroundings" when defending a club that offers faded seats, a dirty roof and crap toilet facilities. -
Hope this doesn't impact on the day to day running of the club.

Does this happen at other relatively big clubs in decline? Where fans showing displeasure at a failing football club get more criticism than the club itself? -
Are they still doing these questions? What do they actually gain from it? Should also be asking themselves why tickets aren't reselling and I doubt individual tickets are as well.

Is that the Official Supporters (or Patriots) Club again with a statement? -
Not just the goals, too. You think of his superb pass to set up Reid against Brighton, the lovely flick for Buonanotte at Notts and the deft touch for Ayew at Ipswich. Now we have Daka barely controlling the ball, Ayew playing walking football and a static Carranza. His game awareness was fantastic as well.

Two more for the 150 in top flight football. Edit: One away now.
-
Man City, possibly. Chelsea under Abramovich too.
-
We don't look at coaches with no experience of English football so that ruled Kovac out.
-
I'm not one who tends to get worked up by the social media stuff but this is just not a good look. Do it privately.

Derby won the league in 1975 and were relegated to Division Three nine years later in 1984.

Bombing players out is a good idea in theory but in practice is much harder. The players are close to the ownership, as we have seen recently. These players could also say "we won this division two years ago", if the replacements don't perform then you'd imagine pressure will be put on and questions asked. This is not an easy club to manage because of the low standards set plus the highly inflated opinions of the players. Cifuentes isn't doing well enough but I genuinely don't see the next man taking a different approach and being backed. It hasn't happened before.

I see Martin O'Neill has got the Honda Civic racing along. What a shame for Brendan Rodgers. He stood no chance.
