The more distractions they have, the better for us.

Watford are a pain in the arse of a team.

He couldn't change a game. Once we started poorly we often wouldn't be able to turn things around. The fact he always left it so late to make subs didn't help.

He's signed on for 3 years. If we stay up he'll stay on. I just fear it's too late. Absolutely absurd that he wasn't given longer to work with the players. We threw away the game last week and gave 3 points away and almost guaranteed the safety of one the teams we were jostling with for relegation.

Do folk really think it's between us, Sunderland and Norwich? Or is there a chance we could catch Swansea/Palace?

I sincerely hope that McClaren hasn't completely destroyed confident throughout the squad.

The next 2 games will determine whether we'll be OK or whether it'll be squeaky bum time until the end of the season. It's clear that the players are keen to impress and, equally, that McClaren couldn't motivate them. If they get their shit together, we could be catching up with Swansea and Palace

Good on him for cancelling the players' day off too. Brilliant stuff. Absolute fucking joke they were allowed one beforehand.

Still can't believe this. Such a shame it's so late in the day.

So pleased. Sick of glaring incompetence being rewarded at this club.

Good. Fuck off.

Team needs a massive lift.

This. He didn't have a clue from the start. A complete and utter trainwreck of an appointment. A total fucking coward.

All this 'character' bollocks he's trotted out after every defeat. Boiled my piss.

Our squad is a steaming pile of shit. If he can get a tune from them it'll be a small miracle.

'Cling on', man. Says it all. Will stay in a job he's absolutely fucking shit at, with absolutely no respect from anyone he works with. He's as much a coward as that other ginger cunt he picks week-in, week-out.

Agreed. 100%.

I detest this cunt. Absolute fucking fraud of a footballer.

If this inept cunt received even half the shite we gave Pardew he'd be gone imo. He's a fucking coward, this one.

There's not a chance someone like Benitez is going to risk sullying his reputation with a prospective, and likely, relegation. If there is an appointment it's going to have to be made with one eye on the Championship. Pearson seems the most likely option.

Don't feel sorry for him at all. He's absolutely fucking useless and complete shite at the job he was employed to do. What's more, he's another cunt who's happy to insult the intelligence of the fans by trotting out utter lies after we've suffered another humping. He can fuck off. He's as bad as Carver.

The loss yesterday will change nothing sadly. Those cunts on the board will know nothing now that they didn't know before the long break - the perfect time to have binned him and brought in someone new. The fact they didn't push the button after the Chelsea game beggars belief. If they didn't then, they won't after another humiliating loss.

There's literally not a hope in hell that this twat is likely to get any results to pull us out of this. That's blindingly obvious. If he's still here by this evening then, frankly, we need to go down. We need a good few years of lower league football to clear out the shit, drive out the cunts at the top, and reinvigorate support for the club. I would be gobsmacked if the board thought there was a chance this could be turned around. It's obvious to all in the same way it's obvious that Villa are fucked.

I'd dearly love to know the rationale behind keeping him.

Sick of hearing about 'character'.
