Hope there's lots of ironic cheers to the subs

Maybe Rafa is hoping Watford make bad subs to get us back into it? Maybe that's the master plan?

Can't blame Mitro for saying his patience is running out when he has to watch Tosselu bumbling around aimlessly.

January could be make or break for them. If Short allows Coleman to bring a few players in, maybe they'll pull away and be OK. If the handcuffs stay on or worse if they have to sell more players like Kone etc, it's only going to get worse as they'll be down to playing kids. At least it makes a change from playing with them.

Everyone STOP POSTING!

Didn't he buy the club for £240m, and then pay off debt worth £110m through his interest free loan? Would be interested to know how much he has put in, but it's irrelevant really - the amount of money he's been robbing for the club year-on-year. The first bid was never going to be the 'right' one to him - we just have to hope that this strong signal of intent means they're prepared to go the extra mile for us and fingers crossed the fat c*** will agree to 'meet in middle' somewhere. He bought the club for £135m. He's in line to more than double his money after the s**** he has served up for 10 years, and it's still not enough for the c***. He effectively paid a lot more than that for the club though mind, with the debt. Which has risen in his tenure, due to his own failings. And was his fault, since he didn't check the books properly. If you're going to factor the debt into what he's put into the club, surely you have to factor into him stealing advertising revenue for years into what he's taken out of it for his tatty chav clothes shop? Yeah, I get that this is not going to fully offset what the club owes him, but it'll take a decent chunk out of it. Can't have your cake and eat it.

That's it, 20 home games without a win, the record is theirs alone.

I'm pretty sure we'll score 0, because I just can't see where a goal is coming from. It'll probably be tight at the other end too, as Rafa always has us set up well, but I can't see us defending for 90 and not conceding. 1-0 or 2-0 to them is the most realistic outcome.

Of course he has, it's like me announcing I've just turned down the opportunity to staple my ballsack to the desk.

Is that the equivalent of the yearly transfer-window cry of "It's not even July yet, lads"? Before we change it sequentially to August, mid-August and then late-August before finally admitting that we need to start to panic and lower our expectations horrendously?

Posting ridiculous newspaper headlines and not even mentioning the Daily Sport.... What is the world coming to?

I don't.

Not a bad paycheck for Grayson. 3 years' pay for a few months work. I'd take that.

Ah, man. I think I can hear the bews from here.

Can't be any worse than Wonga 0% Interest! Speak for yourself, this last week has worn my F5 key flat.

We can do one then the other. Why choose?

Will we still be able to get a pint at half time?

Yeah there's not a lot of goals in that lineup.

Or "relegated from the PL"?

In "a" Champions League game, he asked Benitez to step outside for "a moment". Basically it could be anything, even if there's any truth in it. But suddenly the press will have it as Stevie G conducting the whole of the CL final team talk.

2nd bottom and he reckons not many could do better. Guess by that he means Rafa, Mourinho, Klopp, Poch etc would all have them rock bottom.

Excellent, sounds like he's sticking around.

You're forgetting the Trampionship is an actual pub league, marra.

Ball flew too close to a plastic bag at one stage and I started following the wrong object. Fucking dustbin of a stadium.

A new stadium name will just be ignored by the supporters, it doesn't matter what some corporate institute wishes to call it. I couldn't GAF. Also regarding investment.... I'm 40 now. When I was 15-20, I'd have wanted to win the league fairly. To see us out-compete these sovereign states. However now with half my life behind me and not a single sniff of a trophy, I'm starting to thing "fuck that" and I couldn't care less how we win something. Bring on the billions, if that's what it takes. Fuck everyone.
