Alberts Mustache

They'd still have to have the press conference a day or so later anyway as its a requirement they're contracted to. So doesn't help them as far as not wanting to discuss why they kept McClaren on. Only reason to cancel it is if they need to delay discussing the managers position for a day or two for some reason. Probably planning a fake bomb threat for the weekend aws

If the decision is to stick by McClaren I would also cancel the press conference so I didn't have to explain it

Suuuure, let's throw some more disappointment on the fire!

I can see Charnley walking around in a circle in his office. "I can't just call Benitez, can I? What if he says no?! No, this is stupid, I don't even have his number. Shut up, STEVE, I'm trying to think! Better sleep on it"

And our first summer signing would be Niko Kranjcar

He could always resign. "Good ol' Gil never gives up. It'll be better tomorrow - has to be! Heh.."

I actually feel a bit sorry for Steve. Just put him out of his misery and let Cathro take the Leicester game

All these stories today that "Rafa would be interested" - surely click bait?

Have Nigel Pearson come in and do the same thing he did with Leicester last year. Motivational speaks, orgy scandals, drugs... whatever it takes.

By far our best option. Both on paper and judged by tonights performance

I'm looking forward to not going through evenings like this again. Either one or the other way

Have you not been in here pre-game before? Some days are more hilarious than others.

Obviously don't agree with the selection, but the reactions on here are fucking hilarious!

Agreed. We don't create anything without Mitrovic, but when he plays he wastes everything we create.

Yes, tactics was a failure. But not winning a single 50/50 ball, always on half distance closing down. That's more than just tactics

That says very little tbh

Worst team performance I've seen this season. Could easily have saved £12m by letting Obertan play instead of Townsend.

There's a lot of "I haven't heard about this guy, so he must be poor" going around.

Strengths include crossing and concentration, according to WhoScored

Adebayor to Palace. That's them out of the loop then?

Those quotes makes me wonder if they're trying to pull off some Moneyball thing and play him as a striker. Only thing is that I'm fairly certain they don't have some Harvard whizz kid doing the statistics for them...

Comment from my Spurs mate: "He's quick, direct and got the football intelligence of a ten year old"

Townsend will be a nice replacement for Wayne Routledge.
