If BHA hit an extensive bad run of form then Potter is just as likely to be shown the door as he would at most clubs (though Chelsea are not most clubs). Football history tells us that the 'flavour of the month' managers - often touted as the next big thing - can disappear just as quickly as they're started being talked about as the next England manager. I'm not necessarily saying Potter is - but he could be. If I was Potter, I'd take the fucking massive payday off those horrible fuckers and back myself to win a trophy or two before the inevitable sacking in a couple of years time when you haven't deliverable the most entitled club on planet Earth a quadruple or whatever. It's not like he'll fail to get another job at PL afterwards. Who knows, he could even make them less dislikeable. Doubt it though.

Though it has to be remembered that Liverpool struggled on the season after he left, having to make to with winning the European Cup.

And the relative quality of the rest of L1? Tuchel had a 75% win ratio with PSG and got the tin tack the year before …

His PSG failure says ‘hi’

Yep. Why give the angry radgie quarter of a billion to chuck seemingly randomly at players then sack the cunt a week after his final signing

Yep. The whole 'romantic' notion of Leicester's rise has been one of the biggest load of bollocks in football. They've been funded by a billionaire owner, who got his money from a lucrative monopoly awarded by a dictator. The inevitable fall back to Earth is underway. At some point, you'd think the socially conscious football press who've incessantly called out NUFC's ownership would ask questions such as; how does one become a billionaire in a poor country run by an absolute monarchy? If your answer is 'hard work and business acumen', your answer may be incomplete ...

Yep, it is the obvious lack of consistently which exposes these chancers. It is why only stupid twats would abuse Amnesty for asking questions re human rights abuses / sportswashing, and only even stupider twats would listen to Holt, Panja, Glendenning or Delaney and their righteous quest to flag up such issues re NUFC. There are some with genuine concerns re these issues, and others where it is an easy way to have a pop at a club or area that they don't much like.

I think he's one of the most important Spanish managers of the last 100 years

Tbf I’m not convinced that a lot of former pros understand the laws of the game either; whenever the term ‘common sense’ confidently leaves their mouths, you know that it’ll be immediately followed by them arguing against the laws of the game. That could just be the punditocracy though

The amount of previous Mason has is further proof to me that this isn’t conspiracy - it’s incompetence. The PGMOL is one big boy’s club - any action taken is to momentarily diffuse criticism rather than actually improve standards. Mason isn’t going to learn - and he fundamentally doesn’t understand the game he’s watching. Proper reform is required - but it won’t come.

No, it’s taken an actual quote, then added a lie to the end of it. I don’t think there is a giant refereeing conspiracy against NUFC. I just think shit, cowardly referees make shit, cowardly decisions.

The monkeys aren’t changing any time soon mate - the issues aren’t going away.

No issue with disagreeing, but rugby isn’t a pyramid, and is stop-start. The decisions aren’t getting any better at all - and the drama is stripped watching a prat in green watch a telly on the touch line.

Problem is, the quote is fake.

PS I don’t think there is a conspiracy at all. Just shit refereeing standards.

I’m one of those who didn’t want VAR, as it interferes with football’s pyramid structure - PL games should be played and officiated using the same rules as Sunday league games. I also believed that what is happening would occur. The funny thing is watching the same pundits who’ve spent decades whining about referees and called for this technology whining because they’re not getting what they thought. Because of course they wouldn’t - too much is down to interpretation. Leave the goal line technology if we must, but for god’s sake scrap this VAR shite. It slows the game and doesn’t make the calls any better.

I’ve never booed a player at a match, also wouldn’t dream of chucking abuse on Twitter. I see these forums as a bit like talking in the pub - any negativity has no impact on the game or the players. That was frustrating, and people are going to get annoyed with games like that. I bloody well did - we should have taken three points there. Ah well, onwards and upwards. Not signing a RW looks like a massive error to me, but I don’t know what the club are targeting. If it’s a top half finish - which I still think should be the target - then I still think we’ll do that. If the board want more for £200m+ in two windows, that could be a tricky one. We need Bruno, ASM and Wilson back ASAP. Almiron, Murphy and Fraser are all game, and don’t hide - but I still struggle to call them PL class players. Anderson looks good (but raw). Our midfield is exposed without Bruno and Shelvey. it’s going to take a couple of years to pull a decent squad together - there was so much dross at the end of the Ashley era. Still think we had a good window, as the defence looks the best it’s been in a couple of decades.

We are toothless. Schar with a free header. Five games without a win.

If Schaar takes this I’m switching off

How the FUCK does Willock miss that?

Not sure on that, but there’s a couple out there who are ready to bench

Lovely play by Isak

Pope is leaps and bounds better than Dubs mind

Gan on youngun

I’m getting worried that we’ll see Wood soon …
