I'll get you started: TAKE A LOOK AT E HOWE

'Cause Wood's running into space But ASM finding him is against all odds At least Schär's got a nice face

Aye he wanted to manage the rarely done, yet still possible, double destroy and exit in a season. Seems like the WBA owners have thwarted his plans and his summer holiday to Benidorm will be cut to only the end of pre-season. Pulled out all the stops with this one too, brought in his son Alex whose only talent is that his GCSE results spell out FUDGE.

This in the replies

Fuck me! That looks like Cissie’s daughtersister

Great stuff. I don’t think I’ll ever stop despising Man Utd

That fucking music is shite mind, but it’s from Romeo and Juliet, a story about a lad’s love for a thirteen year old lass…so…aye.

Wee Phillie vs Shaun Middleton! Yeeeeeeas!

I won't have a bad word said about Dave the Rave! https://www.facebook.com/630095805/posts/10157580817055806/?d=n

I'm expecting a hiding to be honest.

Aye, we should have kept Hendrick to lay them on for him like at Burnley

That would be great but I want instant gratification. Wednesday beat them 3 nil in the league earlier this year so that would do me. I assume away goals don't count double nowadays as well? Another trip to Wembley, taking Trafalgar square, diving into 18 inch fountains, generaly showing themselves to be mutants, and then losing to the mighty Wycombe wanderers on penalties would also do.

That goal shouldn’t count, they bought him in January and going by everyone’s reaction about us that’s surely not allowed.

Send them S Longstaff next season

I posted that fight on here from YouTube a little while back. While the standard is not very good that doesn’t stop him being comfortably outclassed or prevent him from losing every round

Have you seen him fighting? He looks like fucking Gimli The fight is here, but don’t bother- it’s as shite you’d expect.

Shaun reporting on the great atmosphere which isn't quite great enough to stop you from picking out individual conversations.

Brucies boys putting on a show in a dead rubber against the bottom team. He knows when to get a result.

Moving the goalposts I see. You’re becoming like Leazes. You’re lucky Ant isn’t here to infect your computer with spyware

Starting to think that the funniest outcome would be their promotion and subsequent wild celebrations only for it to be followed by a humiliating season of defeats. Them ending up back in League One would be outstanding. Just that little sliver of hope extinguished in an instant

Nearly 500 in the end and it’s still being called a ‘mixed set results for the two main parties’ on the ITV news this evening. What a fucking joke Pestyn and co are, man

3-0 to Brighton, a VAR check for a 4th going on Given! HAHAHHAHA

Different gravy, that lad.

Bring Karen so I can spark her out in all, gan on Middleton you toothless wonder. What’s it with mackems and immediately on about fighting btw? RTG is obsessed with it “might have lost 8-0 marras but we kicked those 14 year olds in at the train station so we won the war”. Thick cunts.

Sorry but Steve Bruce is gone. You’ll have to make do with 70% possession and a three goal victory.

Gandaft as Shaun’s cornerman

Boro losing 4-1 now

Saying that, I'm sure when you're closing in on the title and the margins are this thin, I'm sure you see bogeymen in every upcoming opponent. I wouldn't fucking know unfortunately.

Aye, I can’t really see much else than a backlash. Jonjo will be out there in flip flops, and factor 500 all ready for Dubai.

I think you'll be fine. If you were the sort of team to sulk or go missing after results like that, you wouldn't be the sort of team that wins things. I'm hoping for the sulk but it seems much more likely we'll face a backlash and get humped.

We've seen all this before. I want to see them break new ground. As we’re having our first enjoyable season in about a decade with a team full of exciting young talent helmed by a talented young coach, I want the duality of them being filled with cast-offs and journeymen, getting walloped by Millwall under the helm of a bloke who looks about 15 years older than he actually is. For 4 month until it turns rotten in the stands and he’s replaced with the next poor sod. Culminating in a nasty relegation. Maybe throw in some more calamity at board room level, Billy Storey possibly getting some level of ownership, Keane knocking them back again, that’s good cooking. I’d even welcome Pickford just to melt their brains

He looks like he’s just followed through

Fucking hell, how badly has Patrick Roberts career gone that he’s went from the next big thing to playing for Sunderland?

Subtlety

So he didnt say his team mates were shit, but they're excited at being replaced by better players. Yeh, makes sense you slack cunt

Spot on. This is why I totally disagree with any calls to build a team around him, he’s absolutely not that sort of talent or player. He’s a complete individual and as you’ve pointed out completely oblivious to the flaws in his own game. I saw something by the other 14 that showed him as creating the most chances, 45, in the league outside of top 6 players. While it might be the case I think a lot of those chances are either missed due to his own dog shit finishing, or as Fish pointed out with the example where he passed late to Bruno - he’s delayed the pass and while a chance was created it’s not a clean one or he’s at least made it more difficult than it needed to be. Personally I’m not a fan of him as a player, I totally get most disagree with me but I think for most the time he plays he’s either a passenger or a downright liability. I also don’t think he was better under Bruce, I just think the complete lack of shape or plan made him look better, his runs were exciting and he had no options anyway so it was seen as our only chance at goals, whereas now there is a shape and a plan, he has options on most of his runs but he just refuses to take them. As your other post pointed out his crossing is frankly a total fucking embarrassment. I agree with him that he would probably set up more with better players, but every single player could say that - put Chris wood in the 2008 Barca team and he’d score more than he has here, it’s a stupid comment and makes him look a complete arsehole. The fact is for all his bluster and stats about his dribbling (btw can we all fucking agree having the most dribble attempts doesn’t equate to being the best at it), he hasn’t scored a goal since January 15th, and before his assist against Norwich hadn’t set one up since we played Watford back in September. He can moan about quality of players but Bruno has almost caught him up in terms of goals and assists with far less games, and from a far deeper position, yet has the same players around him.
