Was really interesting. There was one bit where he was talking about KK and said KK told him 'Just get out there and drop grenades. Go wherever you want on the pitch, just get around and damage them' (paraphrasing a bit, can't remember the exact quote). What a great mentality.

I'm not digging at you personally like, but it's really beginning to irritate me now reading and hearing this stupid phrase over and over again. Ambition with regards to what exactly? 'Showing ambition' is appointing and listening to a knowledgeable, clued up director / board of directors and going after a good / successful manager that could potentially win you something. Showing ambition is not appointing the reserve team secretary, Alan Carr's fucking dad and an old, useless puppet of an ex-player and vehemently going after Steve fucking McClaren. Not once, not twice but three times? Don't get me started on the likes of John Carver being given the reigns. 'Showing ambition' is going after players and building a solid team that can win you games. Showing ambition is not getting mostly medicore, half arsed players that don't fit or belong in your team and putting them on 5 and 6 year contracts, in the blind hope that they do well so you can make more money. On a similar note, forcing out and giving away arguably one of your best players and then spending circa £40m trying to replace said player by signing a Ligue 1 flop of the season (who knocked the club back previously), another who was either not interested, not tried or frankly not good enough and then a Spurs cast off who's barely done anything of note nor turned out this season? That's not ambition, it's fucking stupidity. What's worse, they're only a handful of examples over his 8 year tenure. 8 years. You think Ashley has somehow just now decided he wants to be ambitious with the club? You don't think being on the verge of falling off the gravy train in 18th place is reason enough they are pissing all the club generated revenue up the wall? The whole thing is a massive gamble. Kinnear was a gamble. Carver was a gamble. McClaren and this transfer window will be this years gamble. There's no ambition or plan here aside from propping up the league for the benefit of Sports Direct. Wonderful post. Sums up the situation perfectly

It's not worth worrying about his replacement. If we have that attitude then we'd still be stuck with Pardew. Every time they appoint some no mark who isn't good enough we need to hound them out and keep doing it until we get someone decent.

How come your smileys change to those weird emoji things, mojo?

And any other CEO/MD would look and realise we took 7 points first time around....."and so Schteve what's your plan".....gotcha! bye! - well I can hope Not going to happen unfortunately. I think we're stuck with this knacka. Look at the way the club stuck with Pardew and never even considered replacing him. Along with that we have a spineless MD and McClarens good mate on the board. Throw Concur into the decision making process and there's no way he's going. There's nobody at all in the club hierarchy who would have the balls or will to even propose sacking him. I reckon the absolute best we could hope for would be for him to get moved to a DoF role after he's relegated us and for one of his underlings to take over for next season. west brom is kind of key because if we go and lose that badly we'll almost certainly lose the following two, that'd then be 5 defeats on the bounce right? after having had loads of money thrown at him if they don't act at that point with enough winnable games on the board then yeah he's staying and we're done But who's going to act? Charnley - spineless yes man Carr - McClarens mate who pushed him for the job so is invested in the appointment Moncur - McClaren - Turkeys, Christmas etc So you can see there's nobody within the club who would make the right call. Our leadership and organisation is non-existent. The only real hope is that Ashley himself takes a hand and forces the decision but I also can't see that happening, he's too hands off.

eep What a great name

Right, you've nailed your colours to the mast. If we stay up comfortably this season then you need to publically admit you're a know nothing, pretentious blowhard.

Poor lad, must feel like shit right now

Keep those old age jokes coming. Between that and the 'we tried' thing we're gonna have hours of completely original fun tonight.

Maybe the '.' key on Charnleys keyboard is broken.

This tree ring shit is lame. Where's the pasty gags?

Rather have Remy than Berahino tbh. Not entirely convinced by Berahinos quality and attitude whereas we know Remy is top drawer.

Nice that we're finally involved in deadline day but why do clubs leave it so late?

Who would you go for? I would have offered 20m to Chelsea for Remy Aye, cos he would choose us over Leicester... Pretty much the most depressing thing posted in the last few months.

I'd genuinely rather have Shola

I'm sure Wenger put down his cup with moderate force and mildly chided his dog when he heard.

Would make a good partner for Kuyt I reckon.

Immediately followed by Conjures some disturbing imagery.

Why are the chronicle trying to help him sell his house?

Really? All the years of easy ryder and this is what's pushed you over the edge?

Imagine being signed as a backup to Dummett
