Standard...can't even be rubbish enough to lose when it matters

Got an Armstrong brace or hattrick written all over...plus a ward prowse free kick

Was it not Christian Gross

So where's the f*****ng money Lebowski? Only team in the league that couldn't scrape together enough for a loan fee allegedly

And still were the most skint team in the league somehow

I'm tempted to just follow the purely cos I think Reynolds is a laugh. They're ambition even that day down is admirable

So supposedly we broke the rules to get Willock and used installments. Where's the money Lebowski??

Blackpool blaming Nelson's ghost for losing 96 playoff

Benevento president blamed witches for his team losing 12 in a row a few years back

Yeah, we've got some superb ones in there, but who else comes up with such inspiring reasons? Ukrainian team blaming frogs for losing a world cup match Al Fayed blaming the removal of a Michael Jackson Statue etc

Yeah he is, we heard some truly inspired creations from him. We've heard some true whoppers from everyone of our managers since Souness (don't recall how he explained that Wigan match where three of our players all ran in to each other. Also recall blaming the new balls for being too bouncy when Stevenage held us to a draw in the FA cup) but is it a case of we just don't hear or pay attention to what others pass off as excuses?

Haha...Charnley probably told him to knock on the door down the corridor which has been an empty office for 14 years

Since watching NUFC is so grim, how about some amusement with the best managerial excuse to have lost a match? We've heard plenty of our own through Allardyce, Pardew, McClaren, Carver, Bruce.... But which other managers have came up with the best b*****ks to explain why they've lost? Will start with Ferguson blaming a grey away kit for getting stuffed by Southampton as his players couldn't see each other Bonus for whatever comes out of South/Central America!

Of course it is...there's already 4 senior keepers feasibly available if you include Woodman. Even if two are out injured and you've got a desperate fetish to have 3 available, then thats what the reserves and youth sides are for. The excuses are coming out early this season, and they're weaker than ever. Blaming the officials is old after two games, then what was it the other day? Training in the dry and it rained on match day? Obviously it rains all the time in Birmingham which is why Villa won without breaking sweat. I'd like to say the next one would be science but I doubt he has the originality or creativity to come up with something like that. We all knew it was balls when Pardew came out with it, but at least it was original when he did. So at a guess i'll say it will be the players horoscopes in the Sun all pointed to a bad day. TBF Steve looks and acts like he'd read it.....probably where he gets most of his transfer information from too

And the sheriff has a much more unpleasant ending

Replace sledge hammer with an axe

Book or Film?

All good points, but generally buying a house doesn't have every factual detail reported in the media, and have hundreds of stirrers trying to make out that they know the details of what your solicitor is doing

Probably favoured amputation followed by cauterising with fire, and one of those new fangled leech doctors stepped in telling Ashley that keeping Dubs foot saves money rather than having to buy a whole new goalkeeper

What has two thumbs and is 20 years past managerial use by date?

Would only put ASM and Wilson in their lineup over ours. Possibly Dubravka and Schar when fit

Well yes they are....surely last week proved that

As much as I'd like to blame the club for this, ( and they probably are to blame due to weak or no follow up on the injury), infections can occur even with the best care in the world

There's a very short list of people who do actually know....not one of them makes public statements.
