I think he'll be out of a job by tomorrow morning. Maybe I'm being too optimistic.

Seriously? Now that everyone accepts that this season is a trainwreck you had to go one further and start being negative about next season?

We're at "sack the manager and hope for a miracle" mode now.

Just get the fuck out.

Welcome back dreamboat

Fuck you Federici

Debuchy

They're terrible and we're ripping them up as we should. Just need a goal now.

Well, that was a good idea in theory

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

What are Reading doing

Cisse's fault really

Thanks for being utter shit Jimmy Kebe

I've never seen us this vertically contracted formation-wise all year. Pardew setting up the team like he's trying to prove a point.

We're doing no hoofing whatsoever and Shola appears to be decent at ball retention in the middle of the park. What the fuck is going on.

Playing some decentish stuff

Can we just change the title to his name and not update it so I won't have a heart attack every time I log in?

We'll win. Shola will score. We'll all be left utterly confused. Refuse to be negative half an hour before the match.

The real question is, who's going to really sign him after Ajax accept our bid?

It's like the entire fucking window has been carefully calculated to drive all of us insane. Fail to win tomorrow and we'll need a suicide watch thread.

We're never signing anyone ever again.

Having done a lot of thinking over whether there are any decent available managers out there lately, quite intrigued to see who Southampton appoint. There aren't a lot of non-terrible options.

It's a no anyway as he's not a yes man and speaks his mind. I kinda wish he'd speak less of it. There's not a whole lot worth listening to.

I really don't think appointing a self-admitted fascist to be manager of our club is a good idea.

I'd go along with this. What strikes me is he started off by handing Fat Sam a relatively massive transfer kitty when he had just arrived, promised to plough 20 million of his own money into the club on a yearly basis and was living the dream in terms of being a sociable club owner trying to mingle with the fans. After the whole Wise/Keegan fiasco and the flack he copped, he has obviously lost his enthousiasm for the club. Even last season's excellent results and the end of the mass public critcism of his running of the club has not changed his stance in this regard; I think he considers buying the club as a mistake and would sell as soon as het got his money back. Unfortunately for us, he bought us at the height of economic prosperity and no realistic buyer has presented himself due to the economic crises that followed, so we are being run as a going concern on a shoestring budget until somebody comes forward to take us off his hands. Massive shame. Pretty much sums it up. In the modern economic climate, Arabs or other arbitrarily-rich commodity moguls are probably the only realistic buyers for a football club of our price tag. Unless we strike ridiculously lucky Ashley is going to be here for the forseeable future.
