Wtf, we weren't even in the PL for one of those seasons and still miles ahead

45 minutes to go!

I'm amazed the bid looks like shite and gives credence to Ashley's narrative that all of the bids he's getting are a waste of time. Such an unlucky bloke.

I took it to mean they are referring to his time as a player, not a manager. Doubt he won much in Europe as a player as he will have been away from Man Utd by treble in 99 (just checked - Cup Winners Cup in 91 and the Super Cup the same year if you count that).

Derby have completely thrown them under the bus for it too: https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2019/09/club-statement-6 Edit: Aha soz I didn't realise it was drink driving. Thought they were needlessly grassing him up for hurting his knee while pissed.

I highly doubt we would have spent much money that summer if we'd stayed up. With that manager and those players it was probably about enough to finish in mid-table, which as we've all seen is the ceiling of ambition for the club.

To paraphrase Stewart Lee, if you were to lock Michael Owen for sixty years in an empty underground bunker which contained nothing but a woolly tea cosy, he would not even be curious enough to be tempted to see if the tea cosy would make a serviceable hat.

Yes.

The parallels with the McClaren situation are frightening

That plank gives alchies a bad name.

Thank fuck for that, I was about to keel over on Saturday it was that scintillating.

He's not a very good writer, which for a local journalist probably not getting paid much I can sort of get over. It's the lack of pride in his work I hate though. You read a few lines and there's already an error, every time. Must be zero proof reading going on.

38 points is the lofty aim then.

What a waste of fucking time.

Does this go to extra time or straight to pens?

Only man in the stadium who would have made that decision. Guess that's why he's paid the manager's wages.

Wouldn't be surprised if Bruce forgot to bring Carroll on despite it being his main intention today.

if they had any cutting edge we'd be 3 or 4 down here.

You rounded down Only fair I round down 500 if they're rounding up 3 or 4k

43k (lies) but officially the lowest attendance since 2010.

Lascelles just bombing forward with the ball, cos why not

This isn't in the least bit surprising. Brighton play some canny stuff following a bright young manager's philosophy whereas we are led by a big fat unlovable oaf. Crowd don't sound happy like I thought it was going to be all happiness and sunshine in there now the moaners have left?
