It's a good job Santa comes back every year! Nah. Tesco's have made him redundant.

Who can blame him. 100% Bruce would have happily sold him in summer too. If he wants to leave I'd happily sell him, too. I'd rather he didn't but I would hate to permanently damage that smile.

5 homes for £2million. It's not like the homeless could afford them anyway.

Jesus. Things surely haven’t gone that badly for him? It would be a project. With more ambition than he was allowed here. He'd have them in the prem in no time.

I think there's something in that. I always remember around the time that we signed Tino, I read this article by Brian Clough in one of the tabloids. He said that when he was manager of Notts Forest, during their title-winning season, he was very tempted to make sure of success by buying another player towards the end of the transfer window. In the end, he decided to hold his nerve, because a new player at that stage might be difficult to integrate, and might be seen by his existing squad as a vote of no confidence in them. For those reasons, he decided against entering the transfer market, and he now had similar doubts as to whether it was wise for Keegan to buy Tino. We'll never know for sure whether things would have turned out differently if Keegan had done differently, but I've since been inclined to think that Clough made the right call. Tino was a good player all right, but he wasn't the player we needed. Including him meant that the Sir Les - Pedro partnership, which had been so fruitful, was disrupted, with Beardsley being pushed out right. The weak link in the side, and the player that should have been replaced, was Gillespie. We needed a wide player. I recently saw an interview with Sir Les, where he himself said that changing the line-up to bring in Tino was a significant error. It's not that Tino can be held 'to blame'. It's just that he was the wrong player at the time. Sir Les was brilliant and I've got all the time in the world for him, but the truth is he wasn't able to adapt his game to play alongside Tino. Which is not really surprising and can easily lead one to think it was the wrong decision.

+ think it was mental to be honest. Not that we lacked it but we lacked the history to back up our belief. I don't think anybody expected Keegan's belief to be tested so soon.

Gay people are naturally gay, but it can't be denied that partaking in gay sex is a choice that is open to anybody that can find a willing participant.

It's possible that the whole thing is just a tiny part of a much bigger narrative.

"Soul for sale".

Thank fuck the fans aren't allowed in. They'd only be singing "we're gonna win the league".

Aye the 5 subs is a definitive advantage. Changing times is more about removing the disadvantage that come with success.

The world won't end until Elon says it's time.

That'll go down well.

Circular argument but Ashley won't hire a manager that isn't prepared to take the spotlight. In a sense, you can understand Bruce trying every trick in the book to make his time in the spotlight comfortable. Doesn't excuse him.

I picked Perez for my FPL team. I beg to differ.

Aye as did Fulham last night. Depressing as fuck. Yep, we're the worst football playing side by a mile. Yet... 13th it really is baffling like. We're Wimbledon. And we know we are. We're Wimbledon. And we know we are.

Nobody wants Rod staking them for not saying he's shite.

Remember Willems first appearance? It stood out like a sore thumb, so it was addressed. I honestly believe Bruce thinks he's doing a good job, and there is nothing to address.

I know. That was my point. He was an uninspired signing that, in a sense, turned out okay. And times were bad.

Rashford and Martial both had their best seasons by far under Ole. Fred and McTominay have also been brilliant under him. Matic has had a resurgence and got a new deal. Maguire is a balloon. He wasn't an Ole signing. Ole wanted Upamecano and Sancho if good sources are to be believed. Obviously everyone wants Sancho and Upamecano, so it's not a revelation for Ole to be interested in them but they both had a price and we went elsewhere. I don't think Ole even wanted Van de Beek given how little he's played him. I believe Lindelof is a good player but no matter who plays beside Maguire they get isolated and look awful. Tuanzebe went from having Mbappe in his pocket partnering Lindelof and Shaw to looking like a school child against Demba Ba when partnering Maguire. Ole makes plenty of mistakes like. Pogba shouldn't be near the team. I agree 100% with that opening line, which is why I'm surprised you are okay with it. Apart from a brief adulation of Stevie Coppell, I've always hated Man U, and it has always been envy. Emulating their success over the past 30 years is the wildest fantasy of any football fan, now it seems they're happy to just be part of the top 6 and compete with the PL for more money.

Aye. I reckon those two came with the highest [very limited] expectations, and as such were the worst. Kind of fell sorry for the pathetic specimen that was McClarren whereas Souness was an arrogant cunt. Fuck man it's like choosing between Trump and Biden.

Aye. We were just idiots for being happy with Rafa.

Actually, Carver had that stint as Toronto manager so he does qualify as a manager.

Remember the days when we were signing players like Andy Thomas?

Just had flashes of our next manager if Ashley stays will be Tony Pulis. According to those stats he'd be an improvement ? ? I love the photo on the right. Cunt can't even make a decision on whether to fold his arms.
