Mahoneys Tache

Just checking: are we currently 8 points ahead of the dippers? A bit concerned I’m in a fucking coma or something.

I predicted we’d surprise people, including ourselves. We’re 4th on merit and on the back of injury problems. When Isak, St Max are back and Almiron tearing things up in a way no one expected suggests that things are only going to get better. Longstaff is clearly doing what Howe wants him to as well. It might be a stretch to say it this early but top four is a possibility with the current squad and a fair wind. Any transfers in January are a bonus. best defence in the league, one be defeat and I think third best goal difference? That’s top four form.

Is he the John Bird of the 20’s?

I suspect that the coaching staff will be working on how long he holds the ball for, like they have been with St Max passing and Miggy’s finishing. He’s only going to get better.

EH total class on five live just now.

Bert Trautmann?

No they wouldn’t. The Coventry lads would be very upset if he bought them. They are not fucking daft. They have had worse experiences than us as a result of dodgy owners and they know a shyster when they see one. They have a small but really loyal core of fans who’ve followed them from the premier league and Haji scoring a belter to beat Arsenal to a 1-1 draw vs Barnet at home I had the displeasure of witnessing. They are proper football lads.

21st century Nobby. Just took a bit longer to settle in.

Rumblings down here that he’s looking to buy Wasps and whatever the fuck the Ricoh arena is now called

21st century George Reilly

Just heard his response to ’you don’t know what you’re doing’ chants. Basically said he’s been doing it for 25 years. Yes Steve, but not very fucking well.

He’s a Coventry lad. He hates Villa.

Proof of parallel universe five live said ‘wonderful work by Jeff Hendrick’

I was talking to the former press officer of WBA when Ashworth was there at the same time. Said all the positive stories are true. Described him as the best in the business

I asked a question about this yesterday and got fucking murdered for it, even though I’d said clearly that I didn’t like the notion of them getting twitchy. No one has any idea how they will react to a dodgy period because they are an unknown quantity up to now. I hope they are sensible about it but I have a sneaky suspicion that they might panic if the crowds get restless.

Can’t disagree with a word of that.

Exactly. I wasn’t asking about string theory.

I meant that nobody has any clue about whether it’s devils advocate time or how patient the new owners will be. and there seems to be a very low inflammation bar here.

Man, I asked a reasonable question. There’s been one reasonable response.

What? That the place is crawling with fannies who can’t tell the difference between speculation and opinion?

Well that was my point. You have no idea about that. Neither do I or anybody else.

Time to move this to the chat forum. This cunt has not produced football in a decade

Considerably more than there was in the knee jerk responses. I asked a speculative question which I qualified by saying that I didn’t think it would be a good idea. The responses were the thoughtless ones. Like I said, we know nowt about how they will respond and how tolerant they will be of perceived lack of success. It was a reasonable speculative question met with unreasonable responses

Wilco chief. Let’s all stop thinking.

Ragging Dennis Wise on his debut around by the throat was a cause for optimism to be fair.
