Class post, agree with all of it. It’s fucking awful now. The music they do play is honking. Ideal for people to get some nice clips to make reels for Instagram pre match and then sit in silence

He basically says that Howe achieved so much here (agree with that) that it’s raised expectations (also agree with that), however, it isn’t that we’ve dropped off, we are a total fucking mess.

Dion Dublin, who tongued Bruce’s balloon knot during his tenure here, saying we shouldn’t expect more than losing late on every week, and nothing being done to change it. He should stick to property shows the glakey cunt.

Don’t disagree at all.

“Closed shop” This is why the 80 thousand seater people were wanting should never, ever happen. At the same time, if you had plans that were cancelled and could now go to the match yesterday morning, would the thought of paying 50/60 quid a ticket appeal? The prices are scandalous now, and will be worse next season.

Abysmal. Hasn’t got a footballing brain and no technical ability as well. The wasted outlay on him will piss off the owners more than the poor form, probably.

Who picks the next manager? I cannot see Hopkinson making that decision, perhaps Wilson? They took their time appointing Howe and seemingly had an interview process etc, so I’d like to think they’d ensure they appoint the right man again.

When I think back to that game when Pardew couldn’t leave the dug out (Cardiff?) and some other toxic atmospheres, Howe doesn’t deserve that at all. You’re right though, if they’d scored that second goal that fizzed across the 6 yard box, it would’ve got very negative.

He didn’t suggest him, he just mentioned his name as someone available. We both basically said the same as you.

I would be able to get on board with Howe staying on if we were seeing something different. Trying to make it work, rather than persisting with what has failed all season. Read that he played 2nd striker with Dennis Undav at Stuttgart where he thrived.

Agree. Feel as though we’d look abroad. My mate mentioned a name recently that made me die inside. Southgate.

Top 5 defo get CL 2 EL places - one league and one FA Cup 1 ECL place in the league cup (goes to the league due to City winning it) if Arsenal win the CL, their CL place goes to 6th. If Villa win the EL, their CL place goes to 7th. If Man City or Chelsea win the cup, their EL place goes to 9th. The ECL then goes to 10th. Can defo see Villa winning the EL and City the cup. I reckon it’ll be 9.

Grok seems to think its possible. The thought of the mackems getting any yewrepeyn football is depressing but Christ, the thought of them getting CL football is unthinkable.

I really hope so.

Didn’t even know he played for us, shame that this is the ultimate talking point from his only appearance.

This is it. I don’t see how it can get much worse than it’s been for a while now. 4 of the lost 5 home games we’ve lost late on.

Canny fight in the Platinum Club, two older blokes on the stairwell. One of them on the deck being restrained. Some specky bloke offering to give the Polis a statement.

Bang on this. I remember when Brighton lost Potter and they already had a list of successors in place to come in and work within their system, kind of like plug and play. If Howe walked tomorrow you just know we’d have Jones in charge til May whilst they looked for a replacement

Turned it off in the huff, reading the rules of Cricket to try and find another sport to put my time and money into and then seen in the thread they didn’t win. Get the cunt in. Still think they’ll be okay. Sadly.

Good one.

Would love nothing more than that mate.

A change just after their winner again. Desperation.

Never mind the big 6 we are 3 points above relegation contenders Leeds United.

For me it’s because he’s doing nothing to address it. The same formation, the same reactive subs, we conceded the same goals we always do, passes astray all over the shop. I will never ever forget what Howe has done. He will be a man that I tell my kids and grand kids about, but nothing at all is being done to address the issues we face. You can only use the present to gauge the future imo.

Awful once again. If this is him wanting to make a stake for keeping his job then he may as well walk tonight. Pathetic in every sense of the word. Yet again.
