Incredible people still think in mono and live in cartoon worlds where only good vs bad exists.

Dean Smith on an interim basis is the same as buying elasticated pants. You've clearly given up.

If you don't know, then you're probably still suffering. It was all just a game to him, he won plenty of the battles but in the end, lost the war.

Fiddle The Minors

Rafa will have managed a quarter of the teams in the league, if he takes another job. Along with his Chinese stint, that doesn't sit right with me. I'm fully on board this takeover doesn't happen without him, and for that i'm grateful. I'm also glad he fought Ashley for us, but he played the fans, and then chased the money. I'm sure we hold him in more fondness that he does us, we were just a job, like the many he's had since. Overall i'm very neutral about him.

Warnock, man. What a guy.

Well that's it. £50m for new training complex and a £10m a year deal to sponsor it, but that money goes into players and we pay for the complex ourselves (which is outside of FFP) For the stadium, instead of naming the stadium, you name the stand and sponsor that.

Also, the ground expansion can't come soon enough. It's something that cannot be taken away from us, and will continue to be a huge source of income for decades to come. Players come and go, as do managers & owners. Things like the ground & training complex are things which will shape our future for generations and again, help us support ourselves.

The biggest game the board have to play is how to get as much money into the club as legally possible. This is something different to Villa or Leicester. If FFP didn't exist, we'd be seeing a very different approach. I don't mind FFP holding us back. For me, it means if PIF leave the party, we'll have done all this with solid foundations and have a chance to support ourselves. Of course avenues would dry up, but by then we could bring in sponsorship which would be around the same level from genuine partners.

Someone misheard £15m.

Does it again, he'll be out the door or at least playing in the reserves. Petulant little fucker. He's got a lot to prove, so far he's looked ok in his cameo's, but what we all need to see from him is a change in mindset, and that he can be part of a team.

Cheers. Still not sure why that's such a big deal.

Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at there? Hate getting old.

TAA is a hopeless defender. Honestly reckon if Liverpool had Trippier this season they'd be sitting comfortably in 3rd, possibly even in a title race.

Manure have got Wout Weghorst regularly playing upfront for them. Wout fucking Weghorst Isak is playing a different game.

It is, on the right wage and squad place-less. I'm hoping those who are ready to retire and want to be part of the journey stick around, and those who fancy one last roll of the dice in their playing career to leave without too much hassle. With FFP, we cannot afford this level of cheerleaders, which is all they are to us when looking that their ability on the pitch.

Agree with it all apart from the last sentence. I just don't see any real advantage that gains apart from fucking off Wilson.

Haha. Sound the same. Silly fucks.

After the game Howe said: "From my side, there was 30 seconds left and he was down holding his ankle so I put an experienced player on the pitch. It is no reflection on his time on the pitch (to take him off)." Howe said: “I’ve got no problem. Anthony is passionate boy. He wants to do well, but there was seconds left on the clock and we wanted to get Matty on because Anthony was holding his ankle. "He just needs to control his emotions in that moment, but there are no problems."

I signed up to one their main forum when they sacked a manager, and was banned in one post for asking 'Who's your messiah, Jasper Carrot?' Can't take it either, awful set of fans.

As someone who cannot stand late people, and literally die inside if i'm late, i'm fully on board with this system.

Only WWWWWinners allowed.

Did the old Shhhhhhh against us? Be quiet, cunt.

Yup, never got it. Was just OTT weird bullshit. Very small time Mackemesque shite.

Shame, if Villa fans could refrain from being massive arseholes, I'd love to get behind them and their push on.
