This. Agreed that we had no chance with this game, Chelsea should have taken chances long before we shot ourselves in the foot. Hopefully Shearer will realise Ryan Failure and Colo the Clown aren't up to it, and we'll somehow beat Stoke. why are you practically slitting your wrists then? if you clearly expected it?

next game lads, lets get after it, we've only had two days of the new regime. bring on stoke.

:lol:

die james, just die.

def over the line, at least a foot

thats it....lets hope the mackems dont get back into their game, and lets get on with stoke next week.

speaking of embarrassments....

jesus christ man, give over.

was never going to be if we're honest, they never are. see owens debut v fulham, and keegas return against bolton, they are never what they are billed to be.

fucking mint.

i am of course, joking.

5 live, listening to the blackburn spuds game.

oba on the left

carrol and xisco start up front, owen injured

'its a club i love and i'll do everything i can to stop them going down' shearer told bbc sport. we're right behind you al.

My point exactly. glass half empty kind of man eh? 24 hours ago we were rudderless and f***ed, we now have hope, at least enjoy it. No i'm just a tad peeved,it's taken us to drop into the bottom 3 for Ashley to suddenly realise what was fundamentally wrong with the club. at least he has, be gratefull of that, yesterday we didnt think he ever would.

Can't criticize but why wasn't this done weeks ago? It's like when you let the screen fill up on Dr Mario to see if you can manage to get it back down from critical. We've waited far too long for this to f***ing click in the skulls of the people at the top. maybe they've been trying to get him for weeks?

open training session next week. feel good factor is on its way.

Well in the context of staying up, this won't matter a jot. It just means it's VERY likely Shearer is coming with designs on a proper contract. Good point, it was probably a term he set before accepting the role....hopefully. In the past I've always said alan wasn't ready but seeing as we're in freefall, we need some pride to lift the team and the fans. If nothing was done then the fans may have turned and the whole thing would see no improvement. Wise made some good signings but ultimately, the silence was deafening. I'd rather ignore it all and move on now tbh.. It's impossible to say, but I for one am glad the ambiguity has gone. I don't like the DoF concept (whatever they do), and especially not with someone so inexperienced. and a twat to boot

executive director (football). howay man, its quite clear. no it's not. thats a title not a job description. Well it's obvious. His job was to direct....and do 'executive' stuff. in a football manner.

executive director (football). howay man, its quite clear. no it's not. thats a title not a job description. i was kidding. its about as clear as mud

executive director (football). howay man, its quite clear.

wise out with no replacement is a clear indication of this.

an admittance all the same though, which is a step forward.
