Perhaps it might contribute to a lacklustre performance.

I imagine they might go for somebody for right now, rather than best next choice of manager. I wouldn't take issue with Moyes, or with Rogers, but have a sneaky feeling that somebody like Pearson would fit the brief. Knows the club, something to prove, doesn't suffer fools, will be cheaper, willing, and up for a fight.

That Leicester team he built aint bad like. Are you an ostrich? Why would that emus you ? You two I've no fucking i-rhea what you're on about.

A triple-decker, Scooby-snack of Championship-flavoured shee-ite... Week 27 The first eight match week of the season produced surprisingly high scores: 7 of the 25 regulars who played scoring 20+; highest scoring of which was Pilko on 28 (equivalent to a whopping 35 in a normal week). SouthCheshireToon and BillClinton chalked-up 10 pointers for Stoke 2 Villa 1 and Spurs 2 Swans 1, respectively. Both games also had another four correct score predictions. The average score was 17.5 points. Week 28 Froggy topped the scoring this week, for the first time this season. Well done man, whether ‘one swallow’ or a flock of spuggies remains to be seen, but at this point only 39 points away from a successful title defence. No nominated games struck lucky this week, and only 7 correct scores. Pick of the (small) bunch for me was tgarve for West Ham 1 Spurs 0 (one of only two players going for a home win). The average score was 16.5 points; which is bang average for the whole season. Week 29 (scores provisional until confirmed by Magpie) The week in which the last traces of pleasure from ‘real’ football evaporated, for me at least, was a good one scoring wise in our virtual footy world. 12 of the 24 regulars who played scoring 20+; highest scoring of which was Nev on 29. Three 10 pointers (Barnes23, Magpie and Nev) all for City v Villa. The average score was 19.6; the third highest of the season. Lawro would have accumulated 49 points over the triumvirate of toon-toss-tissue weeks (19,17, and 13 points); his guests 52 points (13, 17, and 22). He would be on 513 points: 4th place in our league. The points scored by his guests now total 421; 3rd bottom. Our group guess (median predicted goals for and against) returned ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ a respectable 56 points (20, 19, and 17); season total= 467, 18th place. There now appear to be 26 regular players: chopey latest to miss three in a row. We may be down to 25 if SouthCheshireToon misses another one. If you've nowt else to celebrate, raise a glass to yourself for showing good resilience! (welcome to klay321 too). It’s getting close to squeaky bum time and still really competitive at the top of the table. To me, at week 29, it looks like BeloEmre by ten points, to Magpie, then Nev with Jill putting in a phenomenal run of form to slip into fourth. Over the last five weeks these are the top five points scorers: Jill 115, BeloEmre 107, Magpie 93, ben-nufc and Disco both bagging 90 points. Well-played . The rest of us have averaged 78 points.

No hiding from the failure, whether 'admitted' or not. Only hope for credibility (that word just doesn't seem appropriate now, when applied to any part of our once mediocre but credible club) is to identify and act on the problem as they see it now. Not what they wanted, predicted, or hoped for. Get over it and deal with it.

The King looks depressed. Crutch of narcissism kicked away = self-esteem crashing down. Here's hoping we don't cheer him up!

Yep, felt utmost respect for and connection with him. If you want to see someone spectacularly fail to suppress their rage at the latest debacle check-out True Geordie's reaction on You Tube.

Whilst not found of s*** or bust thinking/statements, can't help thinking tomorrow is a s*** or bust game. The way they've played the last two games, well I just can't see them winning. Regardless of points available, regardless of what they may possibly be capable of, their confidence looks shot to fuck. Change needed to snap them out of it; Stupid Management Cunt--do one thing positive for once, in fact just do one...

Didn't see the game, just MOTD & heard Shearer slaughter him. While it is somewhat surreal that we're still having to rely on him, at least he looks like he gives a shit.

10 if the second best coach in the premiership is still bringing out the worst in what we've got and generally stinking-up the place with his horseshit patter, for next match.9 with a new broom-any fucker- prior to then. Starting Fucking Rivière. Christ almighty. Other results suggest it is us or Makems.

If what he sees in training makes him think Riviere is the solution, over Mitro and Doumbia I think my relegationometer has gone to ten.

Oh man. Team selection has just registered...

Man Yoo 12?? Thanks. Should be: West Brom 1-2 Man Utd Oh how you could dine-out on this if the impossible (improbable) happens...

Man Yoo 12??

We've known about how the magical powers of Spring lead to change for a long time in these parts. About 1400 years ago, St Bede, when not digging his allotment in Jarra, or writing about that other God squad, recorded the already ancient beliefs about the Anglo Saxon goddess Eostre--all about eggs, shagging in the woods (I'm summarising...), change and new life. It is springtime. We could be reborn; well and truly hatched! Even the venerable Max Bygraves (1500 years ago? In Hebburn?) knew: "When it's spring again, we'll win again, half the team's from Amster-dam...". You'll be no doubt relieved to know that I am not quoting a recent Steve Black motivation speech to the team. But ye never knaa, come be a good time a coming...

Ever the optimist, I'll give it 21.5 hours.

you're a loss to football chairmanship

4 wrong. Canny toon presence.

Kin hell, that voice over! Disturbing. Reminds me of the Makem fake Yorkshire Ripper phone calls (one for the oldies...).
