I am absolutely certain that Rafa would have put a team out to defeat Rochdale and Oxford. I personally think we would probably be on maybe 5 points more. I just wish this Ashley/Bruce saga would blow up and die. Let's start again!

I think we will win tonight for some strange reason but don't worry, he is definitely not taking us to Wembley. I do agree though that the gutter press will milk it for all its worth. "Better than Rafa, yada, yada, yada".

Shola Ameobi flying up and down the wing with a demolished hip was a sight to behold as well. Shola was ten times the player that is Joelinton! I've just realised that makes Shola a 400 million pound player. Who would have guessed eh?

Haven’t seen you this angry since Megan Rapinoe won the World Cup. Another cloud of shame? Good to see your cuntishness has not dipped keep up the good work It shouldn't come to name calling to be fair but that is what this owner has done to us. Talk about split and divide. Anyway, back to Joelinton who is an absolute waste of a shirt. Need I say more?

I also predict a rancid 1-1 draw.

I've said this on other threads, we are very similar to the mackem last 3/4 seasons in The Premier League. We are fluking results, our man of the match most games is the goalkeeper and our game plan/formation is non existent. It's guaranteed we "celebrate" avoiding relegation and the sheep will be happy enough to take the same shit for another year. And repeat! Oh, and we are giving away free tickets. Almost forgot.

He may not be the answer to our problems but the previous post is correct. He is the best passer of a ball we have. You do realise he is our top goal scorer don't you?

Shit goalkeeping!

And his strengths are? Seriously, his hold up play is shocking, he can't head a ball, he does not know how to run the channels and his movement in the box is non existent. Never in a million years is this bloke a striker! I don't think hes a striker either. However, he shows flashes of decent play on the wings now and again. Having said that, I do feel for him because there is usually fuck all for him to pass to most of the time he has the ball with him. He's shit, but I feel he could look somewhat decent if we had something of a well drilled attacking plan. Still, not a 40m player and most certainly not a striker/player you rely on for regular goals at this level - which just makes the transfer all the more baffling. Well at least we both agree he is shit. I certainly haven't seen these flashes of decent play however. He doesn't even have any pace. I haven't got a clue why he is here, what purpose he is or even how he ended up being a professional and getting paid for it. I do agree we play with no game plan etc

Incredibly accurate.

He is not and never will be a number 9. How can I see it and that useless fraud manager Bruce can't?

Sorry to sound thick but what does this mean? I get bemused by the whole xG thing. Edit: New page thick twat Expected

EXPECTED

I hope they get to the play off final at Wembley, show themselves up at Trafalgar, get beaten in the last minute or on penalties and spend yet another year in division 3. Sad tw@ts that they are.

Perfectly put, I just hope that love isn't lost forever Good post and sums up my feelings also. After nearly 70 years of watching MY CLUB who were a real part of my life my interest is gone. I have even lost interest in the other games which is strange. Thanks Mike, who is now being ably assisted by Bruce That post is bang on. That's exactly how I feel. How come the local and national press haven't jumped on this? Why does Ashley have it easy? It totally baffles me that people/fans are literally kowtowing to this awful man/bully. Stand up to him for goodness sake!

He did scuff it into the ground. To be fair to him the ball bobbled just as he struck it, that's how he scuffed the shot a bit. If the bobble caused a mishit, surely he would have got his foot under the ball, not over it. He definitely miss hit the shot.

A league one team passing the ball better than us, I despair.

I love the sarcasm.

Calm down everyone, That performance was pathetic.

Excellent research manorpark. I have the same information pack but it's obviously in the loft somewhere.

Fingers crossed that you are right. I actually think we will stumble to safety. However, the whole situation reminds me of the mackems in their last 3 or 4 seasons in the top flight. Their goalkeeper always won player of the season (Dubravka?). They were heavily reliant on loan players (sound familiar). Celebrated finishing 17th (it could be us). Gave away thousands of free tickets (is it becoming clearer?). And frightingly they were massively mismanaged from top to bottom and that is where we are at this moment in time. I truly hope I'm wrong, it may not be this season but it is happening, the club are in a downward spiral.

Which papers over the cracks don't you think?

I had a similar conversation with a season ticket holder friend of mine. He claimed we were safe from relegation as there were three teams worse than us. I asked him to name the teams and they were Norwich, Villa and Watford. I reminded him that both Norwich and Villa played us off the park earlier in the season (and before 0-0 on Saturday). I also reminded him Watford were unlucky to leave St James' with just a point. He completely zoned out at this point and may as well stuck his fingers in his ears. I honestly haven't seen three worse teams than us.
