Everyone knows that desperately throwing more forwards on to the pitch in the vague hope that something might happen, despite having no actual plan to make things happen, is the epitome of tactical astuteness.

He prepares for the derby games as a fight instead of treating it like an important fixture. I'd say that he should simply prepare for the game as he would for any fixture but he's fucking woeful at that too.

3-0 vs Ipswich in 1984, think it still holds the record for the fastest own goal in a top-division game.

Would rather see him whipped instead

One of the worst performances I can remember seeing. Terrified of an abysmal team, completely unprepared yet again and looked more like an under-11s team than a supposedly professional top-tier club.

Fuck me, a shot on target

Can't even take a fucking corner.

All he needs to do now is throw in the occasional "stop" and he'll have a new career as the Green Cross Code man.

Probably find out that we're paying sports direct for image rights

Fucking hell Arsenal get your shit together, I've got money on this!

David O'Leary at the match. Not sure if I'd prefer him or Carver as manager or repeatedly jamming a fork in my eye instead.

My god we're shit

Its pretty obvious that they dont pay a penny for them though. Why else have they not been sent back if they arent going to play? I'm not sure that you can terminate cross-boarder loans

Nonsense, Colo is brilliant at stepping up at completely the wrong moment leaving the rest of the defence flat-footed

Who in their right mind would look at a multi-million pound business like nufc and even for a moment consider that Carver was the right man to run the football-side of the business? His track record in management is just disastrous but he's going to get the job because he doesn't rock the boat and because he allegedly understands the club (I'm not sure he truly understands reading and writing yet personally)

Doubt the club will spend every penny it has in the bank in any summer. There will always be a war chest in case of disaster and January requires spending to recover the situation. Plus we're very likely to account for future wages from that amount too. I can't see us spending more than £25m then claiming the remaining money is required to cover the wages of anyone we bring in.

He's an utter imbecile. Probably keeps getting stuck in revolving doors.

I assume there's some level of seniority in the team and he's quite low down the pecking order when it comes to deciding who gets to take set pieces.

Lee Ryder again - what is it with him and Carver ffs?? I assume that Carver has been giving him stories & gossip for years now & Ryder doesn't want his source to leave

What an atrocious game.

Not for the first time this season, teams just slaughter us easily and start to treat the game as a training session. We're too shit and insignificant to even bother trouncing.

I have no words. Only one word is needed, "Lunatic." Dunning–Kruger effect Sound familiar? He's too stupid to understand that he's stupid

How the fuck would anyone tell the difference? NCJ Media are signing the death warrant for the local papers by continuing this shit. They've been laughably bad for years now but no one will continue to read this shit if all they do is regurgitate press releases from the club.

I'm actually slightly surprised that the post wasn't entirely blank and was just bumped every so often to make sure it didn't fall off the 1st page.

Utter shite
