  1. Generally I hate the term "he can't be any worse than..." because it's usually clearly untrue and is used to justify wanting to put a 16 year old to replace a solid but unspectacular performer like Simpson. But we're certainly at that point now. What's worse than a 0-9 home aggregate against two mid table (at absolute best) sides? What's the worst that can happen? We lose three games? That's looking a dead cert anyway. Even if it's Beardsley or Carver, we've reached a point where we have to roll the dice imo. * 2 midtable sides missing their best (well, I actually thought ONLY) goalscorers. Sorry. Cheers. I don't know what I'd do now, I'm trying to pretend this isn't really happening at this point. I think sacking him would be bad, keeping him would be bad. Either way we're relying on Wigan not to seize the day IMO, we're too far down the line to think or expect we'll get more than 1 or 2 points from the remaining games. Maybe just sacking him now and hope the players react positively enough to that that it will offset having no manager until the end of the season is the gamble we need to take. I'm certainly leaning in that direction.
  2. Let's have West Ham have twenty shots on goal but nick a point because they can't hit any of them. Including Carroll missing a sitter from three years out. I don't even care about football anymore. Just let us luck out like motherfuckers and get something from this.
  3. Let's just get ridiculous lucky for once please.
  4. We've successfully maneuvered ourselves into a point where we can't even appoint a new manager because it's not clear what league we'll be in next season. It's physically impossible to sack him immediately unless we believe that having no manager would be better than Pardew for three games. That might even be true at this point, of course.
  5. Maybe we shouldn't worry about losing players in the summer. Maybe they're actually all shit.

    Die in a fire immediately. Do not pass Go. Do not collect 200 dollars.

    Danny Guthrie

    Yes, because obviously Guthrie would have been completely immune to the drop in form that's afflicted just about everyone this season.

    Just everything about him is so bad at this point. He's managed to bleed out every last one of his redeeming qualites over the past few weeks. There's literally nothing good I can say about him anymore.
  9. We're finishing 17th. I can feel it

  11. Seriously, we're just a gigantic mound of useless. Can't get excited about any of this. My biggest regret about not winning is that we're not safe so I have to watch even more of this shit next weekend.
  12. Oh well, we're a pile of shit but we're scraping and crawling over the line.
  13. Failed to stalk me on Facebook? Oh well, I suppose you can't all be as good as Kaizero.
  14. Hmm.. I might be on the East coast as well. This idea has potential.

    Ryan Taylor

    Poor guy. He's had absolutely horrendous luck with injuries over the course of his career.
  17. Suddenly looking massively comfortable again if Wigan fuck up their other game in hand.
  18. Just realized it's NBC They might as well just turn themselves into a Soccer channel. Not like anybody watches any of their shit anyway
  19. Going to be back in the states for next season Fuck you Korean broadcasters.

    To be fair, just breathing is sufficient to increase my dislike of him at the moment.

    I can't think of anyone standing out all season in terms of overall performances. Seriously, who's going to bid for anyone we have with the sort of crazy money we'd accept given that they've all been a shower of shit. Maybe Krul? But he wouldn't want to leave. Other than Colo I can't foresee any major outgoings.

    It pisses me off more every time I think about it. This season is basically last season without the absurdly good luck and defensive organization. The luck, fine. But what the fuck happened to the organization. Do we not train anymore? Has everyone decided it was okay to stop trying? Last year we had to play half the season each with Ryan Taylor at left back and Williamson at Center Back and we were still miles better at defending. What the fuck happened man.

    Revisionist history to say the football was turgid last season. It was nothing exciting, but for the most part we were well-drilled and well-organized. God knows where all of that went.
  24. I'm not saying it's impossible it's just highly, highly unlikely. Dumb luck will conspire to get us a couple results as it has for most of the season.
  25. Well, we've still got 36 of them despite being shit all season. We'll probably manage 3~4 out of the last five somehow.
