Presumably that's the kind of scenario where you can just update him at half three instead Doesn't sound like an insurmountable resource issue, that one.

He's clearly hurt that he doesn't have the unequivocal backing of his fans. Knacker that he is.

even better...

I...see... The religious bit makes more sense in terms of voter appeal. Still a rather bizarre election campaign in terms of the challengers. Does all this noise just mean it'll be Hillary in the end, or does Trump actually stand a chance?

Ah that explains it...

So Carson's appeal to voters is that he's nearly killed people in the past in a fit of psychotic rage? Wtf is going on in this election...

... Where is Parky anyway?

Should win, based on other performances this season. It'd be just like us. Even if we lose I expect it to be one of those 'good efforts' where we all end up rueing Mitro's finishing.

Horrifyingly, I find myself in agreement with CT. If he keeps us up, I think he should be given a run into next season. If it starts looking anything like this one though, I'd probably want rid of him.

The fuck is going on in this thread

It was my turn to say something derogatory about one of your posts - we have a forum wide rotation system in effect.

You sure it isn't cowardly?

Arsenal presently doing us a favour against Bournemouth. I reckon this is season was the best chance Arsenal were ever going to get at winning the league but I don't see it happening now. Might get third though...

Leicester are gonna win the league aren't they... As great as that is, it also really pisses me off in terms of the wasted potential we had.

Don't think we can expect any favours from Villa, they'll be resigned to it now.

I know following this club is tedious as fuck, and I know we get the same soundbites over and over again, but at the end of the day he can't come out and tell it like it is, can he? We don't even need him to tbf. We can see how fucking shit they are without him pointing it out. And Wigan were, as I recall, highly resistant to relegation for a few seasons. If he's had a chat with Martinez and been told that he should just fucking go for it, then I'm all for it. Clearly we aren't going to defend our way out of this.

We don't have any decent players full stop at the minute. I tend to share the consensus here that this isn't really Mitrovic's fault. It's a team failing.

Weirdly, I think we're going to win this one. I even feel like it'll be comfortable. McClaren should take the handbrake off while we're at home, and if he does, we should overwhelm them. To be honest, I'm not 100% convinced we're down yet despite everything - we have some tough games ahead, but they're all the ones that we've tended to play well in based on the season so far. Chelsea aren't exactly turning up this season so I think we could get something there. The only thing that really bothers me is that other teams will feel they can beat anyone as well. I'm not really sure how this is going to end. That said, reasonably confident that we'll beat West Brom. Happy to say that if we don't, we're down.

Dunno like, we'd not get seen that much. Not even sure how big a team we are these days versus some of those that we're failing to compete with presently.

Last year I could see the benefit to relegation but I'm not so sure now. The gulf between the PL and championship is only going to widen and we may find we struggle to establish ourselves if we ever come back, with or without Ashley.

Gouffran? Central defence seems the next logical step for him given how we''ve used him in recent games. He'll be in goal by the end of the year.

Probably because Everton have tired. They really should have put us away to be honest, not that I'm expecting anything positive here.

... Is that Norwegian?

As much as McClaren deserves all the shit he's getting here, this is Charnley's fault. If there was one person in the club to get rid of ahead of all others, it would be him. He's utterly fucked us.
