As usual.

This club puts Rudkin above literally everybody. That's what's so galling about it. The top dog at the club is a fraud director of football. It's no wonder we're spiralling.

Fear that Lazio was Bodo's big scalp and that they'll just lose comfortably tonight. Would love to be wrong, would be utterly hilarious if Spurs crashed out but got this horrid vision they just win 4-0. Bodo missing loads of players as well. Think Bilbao can win the trophy though.

We literally just had the game happen without the super league. You can have too much of a good thing - that game was special because it doesn't happen often. That being said I do genuinely believe that football is going through managed decline so that people accept the super league by stealth.

Like anyone with any ability - get out of this place until it starts operating like a football club again.

Naturally we've conceded to one of the two worse and will probably concede to the other on Saturday.

Most of my usual matchday routine but just without the actual game itself. Even if I was able to I do think at this point of this season this is probably what I would be doing, with the exception of the Forest game.

That's the same as my recollection of things. In many ways the start of our downfall. It was some time around that 2021 period where we became consistently easy to play through the middle of and I don't think we've really recovered that at any point since. We've signed nobody in Ndidi's mould since this time. I thought early season Ndidi had probably been our best player, but he's dipped again and it's time to go.

Still think his decline is one of our main reasons for our initial fall off. He was the glue under Rodgers in the better years. Fell off some time around 2021/22.

Everton in 2022, but agree it's generally piss poor. The fact Everton were so good proves it isn't bad acoustics either.

Got money on Barcelona but would like to see PSG win it as well. Got a very fun team and very good fans. Become infinitely more likeable in the last couple of years.

Feel for him and he's been unlucky, but should've been let go years ago now.

Entirely predictable outcome. Obviously even when we spend peanuts we manage to con ourselves. Said at the time of signing him he profiles even worse than Justin in a slightly weaker league. Would give him a chance in the Championship but don't think he's automatically just going to be good enough. Wonder how much link to Maresca this signing had, given he played under him at Parma.

I really can see us losing again. They're dire but we've been even worse for the last few months tbh and they're going to be more motivated than us - not hard admittedly. 1-2.

Once again tells you absolutely everything you need to know about our board that they didn't put a relegation clause in there. They really were delusional enough to think that we were going to just rise from 16th. Imagine having them as your accountant. You'd be dead within two years.

Yeah our 'banter' songs are generally terrible to be honest. In fairness I don't think many are great for it but we're extremely drab. Pretty witless.

It has genuinely got to a point where any punishments we're dealt cannot be worse than putting out this sort of team. I'm hands down taking a Reading scenario over this.

Come on Southampton.

Can only conclude he is sabotaging us on purpose. Nobody can be this stupid.

I'm so pissed off at him. He was about 95% sure to get almost a free pass from me given how little I think of those above him and he's somehow managed to be that bad that it's enough to take some of the heat off them. That being said we shouldn't forget that this was Aiyawatt, and specifically Aiyawatt's choice.

I'm really fed up of reading how we can't afford X and Y. We always manage to find the money to squander on shite players but as soon as it comes to biting the bullet to save some face and some pride, there's no desire. This club is blatantly riddled in corruption.

People actually shill for this lot. I'll be able gladly to say that I didn't actively cheer on the demise of this club like many have done, but it won't make it any more tolerable. Sometimes I wish I was as dim as these people.

It just doesn't get more embarrassing than this does it.

He's been dealt a terrible hand by the most clueless board there's been at this level in as long as I can really remember - but his performance has been so unforgivably bad there just cannot be any possible circumstance he starts next season. I think it's frankly disgraceful he even had today. He has been that bad that I genuinely don't think I could have done any worse - I'm being deadly serious. He's been 'that' bad.
