Out of interest, for those that are saying we should stick with him for now, what would be your cut off point? Our next four games are Aston Villa (a) Chelsea (h) Spurs (a) Southampton (h) Personally I'd sack him now, but if we don't get a win in any of them he absolutely has to go.

It's not that, but honestly I had concerns even then. I felt it was our players carrying us a lot of the time. I respect what he did last season but in no way should that excuse the mess of this season. Would you stick by him and see us go down? Some see this season as a continuation of a pattern that ran all the way through our performances last season (with the exception of the winning streak using the abandoned front 3). Some think it's just a manager down on his luck.

At least the bit where he says we bought a new central defender but it means nothing in relation to Colo leaving is positive.

That's what I'm holding on to, as well. I get the feeling the talks will be 'ongoing' until they agree to our compromise. Seems that we're not going to budge, which is exactly the right thing to do. Kind of a 'who blinks first' stand off, and we've got the matchsticks out. The thing is even him leaving at the end of the season for a paltry fee is shit for us, so you've got to wonder what the discussions involve.

We can only hope that better players will make this work, like it did at times last season. He's not going to change.

I'm also a fan of this.

Yes!

Comes as standard now. Usually 5 or 4.5 isn't it? Can't remember a 5.5, maybe Santon? Debuchy. Oh so our previous signing then? Ok I haven't been paying attention!

That's a monster contract btw, have any others signed that long when first joining?

We're gonna need another centre half this window if he goes like. It might sound greedy but we really can't be left with Mbiwa settling in, Saylor being injured all the time and Williamson not being good enough.

Yep. Nowt wrong with Mike other than not being a very good footballer.

Let's, but we're running out of games.

The signings are great but it's very possible we still won't win another game for a month, he'll have to go.

I'd be willing to bet Carr's already got a couple of managers in mind in case they ask. If he knows the best players he'll know the best teams, and the best teams with poorer players.

I'd love to know what all this is about like.

Just buy more, and while we're at it ring Gerard and see if he fancies bringing balance to the dressing room.

Panic buys don't come about through proper scouting, we've got a great scouting team.

I like him, he looks nails but also like a happy chap. That name's gonna look mint on the back of a shirt, and 13 as well, it's the perfect package! Not sure if I've got time for a bath when I get in like.

Here's another one to tick off the list, this guy was clearly second choice and we've got him in

Gone quiet on this one for today? Him and Goof tomorrow I assume.

He almost certainly won't, getting better individuals will help him though.

Yep, he's been irritating but we know there's a good player there. He needs two things, competition and a good manager who'll tell him how to improve and earn his place.

the fuck's gan on today?

I couldn't care less tbh
