Even by the pitiful standards of this club I thought we were just waiting for relegation, given what happened at Southampton. Now I think there's a real chance they are considering keeping him on for next season.

Absolutely astounding he hasn't been sacked today. First time it's actually annoyed me. One of the worst run clubs in the country. Get this bastard 'owner' ****ed off back to Thailand.

I thought this initially. But I think a good 80% of that crowd won't see that image at any point in their lives. In a nutshell, our problem.

We don't make enough of a fuss about it ourselves. Again, this boils down to the lack of pride, of which has been subtly eroded away for years.

this Liverpool side are one of the most forgettable league winners you'll have. It's the worst it's been at the top of this league in years. Really bad reflection on the league how comfortably they've won it.

Mourinho Nuno Conte Maresca Cooper Van Nistelrooy 6 managers. Only 1 he's gotten on with. He's a fanny. He's the common denominator.

We are paralysed until they go. Nobody will change my mind.

It is shit. There are very, very few fanbases who are as good as they were even 10 years ago. Even the likes of Leeds and Man Utd's ends here have been pretty underwhelming in recent years. Everton proved in 2022 that it isn't an acoustics thing - it's that people aren't actually making noise. Football really does need a shake up. I suggest we open the conference league up to every single top tier team in Europe and make it a round robin.

I've for a long time thought in the top flight of English football, there are two records that don't fall in my lifetime. 1. Derby County's 11 point season 2. Chelsea's season of only conceding 15 goals Number 1 has come very close this season but ultimately not fallen (and probably won't given they still play us). I actually now think what we've done, in losing 9 home games in a row without scoring a single goal is a 3rd one. That will not be beaten in my lifetime. That is generational, historically bad. And our fans meekly accepted it.

The Coady signing is exactly what I expect the 'review' that apparently took place brought us. We need a load of intangibles to fix, bring in a bloke renowned for said intangibles who happens to be able to speak well. Terrible value for money. Wasn't wanted by the teams who finished 15th and 17th in the Premier League despite both having the option on him. Exactly the kind of trap you could predict our freezer IQ board were going to waltz into. Disaster.

One of the very, very few who gets a pass on this season for me. Largely overlooked by that idiot Cooper, instrumental in one of our four (lol) wins and then ruled out with a horrid injury. If he means his word, he has my backing.

The meek, passive response to yet another historically embarrassing season really is the most painful part about it for me. I'd find this so much more bearable if I felt there were real forces for change coming from it, but it's very much a minority of people that are leading anything and the numbers are so small that what truly can you actually achieve? I've wanted Aiyawatt gone for a long time. The main reason is not even necessarily because of his level of ineptness, of which is absolutely unquestionable at this point in my eyes, but because for some reason, he is held to absolutely no account. He's not held to any sort of standard or expectation. He's allowed to do as he pleases. Maybe those images doing the rounds are what wakes some people up, but how many times have I said that before? I genuinely just don't think there is a jot of passion, drive or ambition in this fanbase. They've had their fun, but they're happy to gatekeep it from anybody else. The vast majority just do not care. There is no force for good.

Is it making sense yet?

I would be but these types do appear the majority. No wonder really that the most scandalous decline in years has been allowed to happen mostly unchallenged.

Hahahahahahaha

Extremely harsh on September 11th

Van Nistelrooy cannot start next season here. That's the one scenario where you really are risking following Luton's lead. The rot has set in, as it did there under Edwards.

If Coady was anything as good for the squad and environment (or basically anything you can't actually quantify) then these performances in recent months simply wouldn't have been allowed to take place. If these are the standards he's upholding then cheerio.

Two teams we were odds on to win away at less than four years ago.

Yep, sliding doors moment. This is what I mean when I think you get what you deserve most of the time. Their issues in goal were nowhere near as big as ours and they did something about it while we stood still. Our board get everything they deserve.

Yeah you've got it the wrong way around. I'm saying they did very good business in January - so often it was treated on here like it was some impossible job. Villa and Forest to be fair to them have gone out and got it. Our MO has been do nothing and hope it fixes itself. Forest signing Keylor Navas, January 2023 while we let Ward throw in 3 goals every weekend was a massive warning shot.

Sell while you can. He'd absolutely have had takers in 2021.

I don't know how Forest passing us hasn't pissed more off. Reminds me of the way United fans just shrug their shoulders as Man City and Liverpool hoover up all the trophies.

As you say - his last six months which is a pretty small percentage of his top flight career. His teams routinely don't score goals. Absolutely I'd rate him above Cooper or Van Nistelrooy and I think working at Brighton he'd have a good sense of when a club is nicely ticking over, which is the main reason he didn't touch us with a bargepole. But Christ he's dour. West Ham could've been relegated this season if the promoted sides were any better.

Aston Villa also another good example of how not doing anything in January generally is an excuse, one that was often made here.
