How the fuck did they decide to pull from that? That interviewer and staff all deserve the fucking sack man.

Noticed that, fuck.

And the spiked kits looked 5,000x better when on the players too. To be honest.

I really do hope that is the truth, that's the best situation to go forward. Yep, hope its the truth. Hope we sort ourselves out, get to safety. End the atrocious season, and sack AP and the coaching staff.

FWIW the spiked kits absolutely grew on me, i don't even notice the stripes are spikey anymore. These though, holy fuck its bad.

Its honestly a travesty to fucking clothing design too - I mean theres not a single aesthetically pleasing thing about it. They've butchered our stripes once again.

Oh crap, sorry. Had no idea they changed the logo and colors officially.

Good god it is shit. Our current spikey kit looks better.

Is the image just brightened up? Or is it really that much lighter?

Would anyone consider throwing Mapou at LB? Give young Haidara a break?

I'm just talking business/legal technicalities man, that's all. I get you though.

You'd still have to sack AP, and hire Girard - who would still be in his current contract. Legally, there is something. Also AP's current season is still going on, so he'd probably be due more compensation as this season hasn't ended yet.

Sweet lord, don't even tempt me with that.

Very good point Wullie, regarding Danny Boy.

Maybe big Andy and Nobby Nolan will end our set play nightmare and score own goals for us to help us out. Seriously hope he just doesn't give an arse and Nolan either. I pray.

Thats whats irked me about Taylor this season and last. Every single time we think he's turned the corner and grown up and fufiled the potential, he has this lapse where you forget he's a senior player aged 27 with the kid who was playing right back learning the trade. FWIW, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa was apparently an extremely vocal and chatty captain of Montpellier - and I fully believe in time we'll see him become an absolute rock for us. He's 23 years old, new league, played poorly in the last few matches, etc. I fully believe the current crap being served by our manager has made a very confident and classy CB look like a nervous kid unsure of his own ability and scared shitless to make a mistake. Pardew absolutely failing him and many of our players not instilling a single ounce of confidence in him. You can buy and recruit captains and leaders. Its done in all types of sports all over the world.

Makes you wonder man, as we seemed to have really turned it around with him in there and then seemingly fell apart as soon as he went out of the team. (over time obviously).

He can seriously F off. Local journalist grinding an axe. Now's about time the local journalists try to galvanize the supporters and get everyone to back us to safety and then grind the axe if they want. I obviously don't understand/care to tip toe the sell the papers, do their job type stuff.

Number 1: The fuck kind of article is that? The press get a kick out of this? Especially local journalists, "doing their jobs?" Number 2: "Complaining about tactics and their own personal agendas" again, how does that even make sense? If they disliked our current tactics, which aren't working, then how would they care about their personal agendas? Surely if they cared about their personal agendas they'd actually not complain about tactics b/c that statement by Edwards implies their personal agendas are not with performing well.

He's got a chairman in Llambias who's clueless about the game which doesn't help. Quite happily take Dekka overseeing the finances/business side and the club appointment a football chief executive to handle that side - but that would probably get labelled as a Director of Football again and I won't get into how gloriously that failed.

Wow. Just wow. Sure going to make everyone's blood pressure rise even more.

The defensive teams that win championships over here actually put up masterclass defensive performances and find a way to score. Therefore we'd have an strong positive goal differential and one of the best defenses in the league, barely conceding any goals.

Seriously can't blv I'm going to be watching this with the fucking nerves of our own match hoping Sunderland win this. Goodness.

We're sitting around watching a Villa/Sunderland scrap and rooting on the Mackems to help save us. That's how fucking low we've dropped this season. Sickening.
