Interpolic

We never look like we want to force home a lead, that's our cue to make the game even more tedious and awful and hopefully stumble over the line.

I'm starting to think that every week we keep him we're going backwards. He has no desire to make us an attacking threat whatsoever.

And Tiote hasn't been booked.

So thoroughly bored of enduring this man's shit football. Honestly can barely be arsed watching the games anymore, he's sucked all of the fun out of it.

There's just no stopping this feel good factor.

Just got one thanks, found it quite thrilling, not sure why.

They should rename us Feel Good Factor FC.

Bigi, Bigi, Bigi - he's 5 foot 5 We turned up to see him live Cos he's got some skills and tricks And with his hair he's 6 foot 6

Bigi's hair.

Geet in you thoroughly useless French cunt!

Pipe down, culture vulture.

Well some people on here like those posts.

Wew, all of that is ridiculous.

Howay the Hook references.

Why is he taking subtle swipes at the board while signing an 8 year contract? He isn't. He's started doing it in recent weeks.

It's really cute how the forum wants a pet mackem so much.

“I've heard in the press and even our fans talking about transfers in" - that says to me in the summer just gone, not in January. And in that case he's changed his tune a lot since a couple of months back, when things were a bit more "rosy". He'll have to watch himself being so insubordinate, that's all I'm saying. Plus as stated, the quotes about big old Swansea having a more experienced side out than us, in other words he's pissed off that he's having to play kids. Saying he wasn't that disappointed with the result on Saturday and also that "What do you want me to say?" quote suggest he's feeling a bit hard done by and is absolving himself of much of the criticism. I suspect there are other quotes knocking about as that's the feeling I get, I can't be arsed digging them up as I'm off to bed.

on the run up to every window he says what we 'want' (the message to the owner) and afterwards ' be thakful we didn't sell everyone'...where's the contrariness ? He's not dong that, he's not generally referring to future windows and 'what we want', he's making statements that are blaming the last window and the general transfer policy for our form. He's never really done that before and he's now doing it more and more regularly. In other words, not taking the heat off the board as you might expect. Plus it's a bit early to be putting pressure on before January.

Be contrary all you like - it's went from him saying it was a very successful window and that we should all be thankful to the owner, to him making more and more statements that indicate he's frustrated that he couldn't add to his squad in the summer. The increase in those statements has coincided with a downturn in results, it says to me that he's not willing to take the heat off the board as much (if at all) when things aren't going so well. Will be interesting to see if there's anything in it.

Anything we can do for those fine chaps at Chelsea.

Aha. Weird.

There he is, good old Spongebob!

Nobody else hearing what I'm hearing then? My dad alluded to it earlier and it clicked. Put everything else aside and he's taking subtle digs at the board more and more often.

He's really kept up his can-do attitude from last season, fair play. Nah seriously, take a step back here. Start reading between the lines of what he's saying in almost every interview now. This one: "they are stronger clubs than us financially", “I've heard in the press and even our fans talking about transfers in". After Swansea: along the lines of "they had a more experienced side out than us", i.e. the board didn't back me so I'm forced to play kids (and tbf out of form players too as there is no competition for places). He's taking subtle swipes at the board and if he's got any integrity or ambition about him (and I'm not saying this would be good for us) the public swipes will get more obvious and behind closed doors he'll be ranting and raving. That will be his undoing and why he gets binned in the end, because it's not likely to be for playing matters unless we're really struggling. That's unless he is actually willing to put up with it, the signs are he's getting pissed off with it.
