We're one horrid side.

Thomas just isn't a professional.

Could not be more obvious we're going down.

Sheffield Wednesday will be a 0-0 draw - we finally end the clean sheet run but in the worst possible way. Genuinely can see us not winning again this season though. This is a team capable of extraordinarily bad runs as we've seen.

I very much doubt this was the case,

That's a player we signed for the Premier League by the way.

This is very much a match that happened.

Rodgers from 2022 onwards is the most damaging I can remember. Just absolutely killed us. Cooper's results weren't as bad but he was more damaging to us than Van Nistelrooy or Cifuentes - although both of those were horrendous as well.

Played through another full season with Kallithea. Lost in the super cup to PAOK 3-1, beat Club Brugge 5-2 on aggregate in the CL qualifier bagging us £4mil in prize money, but got put out by RB Leipzig in the play-off 8-5 on aggregate meaning we'll be in the Europa League again, which I'm OK with - although the money we'd have gotten for making the CL league phase would've changed the game. We made a bad start in the league losing 3 of our first 5, including away at local rivals Panionios in what in hindsight was an utterly dismal result as they ended up finishing bottom by quite a distance. We responded by somehow beating Bilbao away on my first Europa game before going on a superb run in that competition, somehow finishing 2nd with a 6-2-0 record, beating as well as Bilbao, Frankfurt and Ajax, and getting a draw at Napoli from 2-0 down. What became apparent during the season was PAOK had dropped off at last, but annoyingly Panathinaikos had come from nowhere to be running away with the league and a loss there in November, despite our upturn, made me think it was another season without the title. But Panathinaikos dropped off, PAOK picked up as expected, Olympiakos and AEK had decent seasons as well and it left an absolutely mad final day of the regular season where there was something like 3 points between 1st and 5th - and whoever finishes 5th in this scenario is out of the title race because the top 4 have essentially a group stage to decide the league winner. We beat Panathinaikos to come out of the final day chaos top of the table and Olympiakos suffered a shock loss to end up finishing 5th. It really was as tight as was ever likely to be. We draw 2-2 with Panathinaikos and then lose 1-0 at PAOK (as usual) leaving us 3rd. AEK, comfortably the poorest of the 4 really show it and lose 5 of their 6 games. But we pick up by beating them at home and Panathinaikos away. Other results meant if we won our last two games of PAOK at home and AEK away, we would win the league. We beat PAOK 1-0 in a hilarious game. We completely dominate it for 70 minutes, the shot count 20 to 0 in our favour, albeit not particularly high an xg. Before PAOK's first proper attack all game sees my idiot centre half chop their striker down. Goalkeeper makes a save that'll live in Kallithea folklore. We're very much holding on for the last 20 but we see it through. The AEK away game - absolute doddle. So that's Greece completed I suppose - I won the league and cup here. I will probably play on and see what happens, if I get bored, I'll do it all over again somewhere else. Oh and as for the Europa League, scraped past Braga after beating them away in the first leg, and then lost on penalties to AC Milan after drawing both games. A great effort but not quite enough.

It's that where's the money gone thread.

Absolutely everything I'd expect of this regime. At least none of it is in any doubt anymore. Every single thing, every game, should be channelled towards getting those twats out. We despise you. Forza Cambodia.

This will move to midweek if Ipswich win at Wrexham.

The ones who actively cheer it on, and in numerous instances this season have actually fought for them - it's just beyond belief to be honest. I'd be interested in seeing their bank statements.

We didn't really reach for the stars though. We grabbed a couple but I really don't think it was reaching for the stars - big outcome bias there, we didn't really spend a load compared to Brighton and Bournemouth. We've just massively mismanaged it unlike those two.

Genuinely astounded how many people think Dyche would come here. Maybe this explains why Aiyawatt gets off with it - fanbase haven't quite yet appreciated what he's done to us.

* That said I don't think the club is here in a decade under him.

Currently banned for no reason, but won't be giving another penny to the club until the club is sold. If that takes a decade, so be it.

Been listening to this pod for a couple of months. Methven is very astute. Gets quite an unfair amount of stick due to the Sunderland series. Smart bloke who seems to understand football.

Things will get better one day. But it's just when that begins and how far down things sink before it happens. My fear is the likes of Bolton Wanderers and Portsmouth. Bolton have been outside of the top two tiers since 2019 and Portsmouth spent over a decade outside of them up until 2024 - and even now they're under threat of just going back down into it, though ironically it's probably our plight that saves them. They're two clubs I consider us to be bigger than, but I'd also consider those two clubs 'better' than spending prolonged periods outside of the top two tiers. I don't see either of those clubs reaching even the Premier League any time soon. Our crash could be as severe as either of those two. In-fact if we do drop this season (we will), it could arguably end up even worse. Never has a club fallen to the third tier with that level of financial noose around their neck. Not even Portsmouth themselves IMO.

Yep. We need to really embarrass them. Cambodia flags next game etc.

Utterly spectacular timing this.

Anybody with any aspiration should keep well away from it. I think you're looking at the type where Allardyce went to Leeds - he knew the game was up and just fancied a few more games. Anybody who has any real ambition or intention of making it in the game should avoid this like the plague. It will chew you up and spit you out. I think to somebody like Skubala - he'd earn life changing money, but it would probably only be for six months. It depends how willing you are to cash in your career.
