I have to say it one more time, forgive me..................................Brolly-Boy!

Que lastima Rafa, nunca suerte senor. First half was usual rubbish second half was much better. We lost! no surprise there, but we could have won or salvaged a point if the chances we had were taken. At least we weren't hammered. Hopefully Mbemba & Mbabu will be available against the Mackems next week, and Rafa will have a few more days to ascertain the strengths he has available in the squad.

Sissoko has been more effective when he's played on the right, dunno why he's on the left. Mitrovic has no touch. Anita's all over the shop. Shelvey needs to be more composed

I believe Gemmill likes to think he's got someone by the short & curly.

Parting is..................

I was impressed by the fact on his first day of signing he canceled the players day off and got out with them on the practice field. This hombre is not wasting any time in calling the shots. Also impressed by the fact there was no messing around about getting his support team on board his first day. Gassed up and ready to go, now let's hope he can get the team firing on all cylinders.

Seeing pictures of Friday's training, I think I saw Tiote among them as well as DeJong. I wonder if Saivet can fill in at left-back, he is left-sided. Perhaps....... Elliot Janmaat Taylor Lascelles Saivet Shelvey Tiote Sissoko Wijnaldum DeJong Mitrovic

Es verdad, jugadores necessita hablar Espanol. Nunca Perez, he already does.

Actually, whereas I'm glad McClaren has gone I'm also sorry about it. Initially I didn't like it when he was hired after just been fired by Derby but in all honesty I wanted him to succeed for our sakes. Sadly he took on a job he wasn't qualified for and was in over his head from day one and kept digging a hole he could never climb out of. I guess you won't be seeing me using the term Brolly-boy again which is sure to please someone.

Hey, let's get something straight, in no way do I support Johnson or his actions. The fact I mention the cat o' nine tails should perhaps tell you I think he should be flogged. The thing is a man's head can be turned for many reasons when it comes to females, but whatever and whoever it is doesn't make it alright under any circumstances when it comes to minors. Johnson probably felt safe under the umbrella of his celebrity status never thinking it could rain on his parade, and someone might squeal.

How many games did Shearer have to keep us up? I think it was less than 10. Bring in Moyes for the remaining 10 games. Hoyman he's on the dole and would probably jump at a short-time job to keep him in beer money.

Never fear me hearties, we got 10 games left and according to brolly-boy in his Press meeting, they're all around us! Sounds terrific, but 5 of the 10 games left are in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, & 9th place, (and 3 are away), hardly around us are they! We need a miracle worker to appear as I don't think prayers will do it.

I'm sure a lot of fans, like me, had doubts about McClaren when he was hired, but dearly wanted him to do well in the job. Sadly he has been an abject failure and appears to be totally incapable of getting required results. After today's loss to Bournemouth, I'm at a loss to know why we even bothered to buy Saviet and take Doumbia on loan if they are not to be used and Riviere & Gouffran are chosen ahead of them.

That was painful to watch and the pain first started when I saw Riviere in the starting line-up. I expect to be subjected to more pain when I hear McClaren's sickly Press summation of the match. It was a fucking pathetic performance considering it was a 'must win' game. At no time did we ever look as though we would win! In my opinion our only chance of surviving in the Premier League is to get rid of McClaren immediately and replace him with anyone, even the tea-lady who could probably do better than brolly-boy.

While I think Johnson was way off base and totally wrong in his actions with a 15 year old, I can't help but think that she initially had to be a willing participant by meeting him for the second time and engaging in all those text messages which probably titillated both of them. She was obviously enamoured by his celebrity status, and it's hard to say why she blew the whistle. I believe there are a lot of young girls who find themselves in that kind of situation wouldn't tell. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming her for Johnson's plight, there's just two sides to every coin. In Johnson's case, I think the cat o' nine tails would be an appropriate punishment.

Worth a try in my opinion, but I doubt McClaren will ever be that adventurous. Don't think he has the balls to drop Sissoko & Colback, and doesn't seem to favour new signing Saviet. It's time to put the new striker in the starting line-up and see what he can do. Elliot Janmaat Taylor Lascelles Dummett Shelvey Saviet Perez Wijnaldum Aarons Doumbia Colback DeJong (if fit) Mitrovic (if fit) Sissoko (if he shows up) Anita (if fit) Darlow You can see I don't rate Gouffran & Riviere to even be on the bench.

A Telegraph mathematical survey indicates we have an easier run-in than Norwich and Blunderland and should survive.......but that's a paper-poll. To beat Bournemouth might put some credence on the survey, but that said, we have a history of losing must-win games and shooting ourselves in the foot.

If a loss to Bournemouth would bring the immediate sacking of McClaren then I hope we fucking lose!! I'm sick 'n tired of listening to brolly-boy glossing over abysmal performances, he is more sickening than listening to Pardew ever was. I had serious doubts about McCarens capabilities when he was hired after just being sacked by Derby, and those doubts have become a frightening reality. He is just no fucking good!

I would love to have a face to face talk with McClaren and ask him to explain his player selections and game plan against Stoke. 1: Aarons & Saiviet are decent and left-sided players so WHY did you choose Gouffran to start ahead of them? (Gouffran has never shown he has the quality to be a Premier League starter. ARE YOU BLIND OR STUPID?) 2: When Gouffran got injured WHY didn't you bring on Aarons or Saiviet instead of Riviere? (Riviere has never shown he has the quality to be a Premier League player. ARE YOU BLIND OR STUPID?) 3: Why have you not given DeJong more opportunities to start and get more playing time when he is fit? (DeJong is a proven international player, captain of a league winning team, and scores goals. ARE YOU DUMB?) 4: Why did you wait so long to pull Mitrovic who wasn't accomplishing much, and putting Perez in? (Perez is much more skillful on the ball than Mitrovic and he's scored more goals. ARE YOU STUPID) 5: Where was DeJong? (he wasn't on the bench and I haven't heard of any new injury. IS HE OUT OF FAVOUR?) 6: Where was Tiote? (he wasn't on the bench and I haven't heard of injuries. IS HE OUT OF FAVOUR?)

McClaren deserves to be fired ...... NOW! Anyone who disagrees with me needs to seek help from an analyst. It's one thing to start Gouffran but then to replace him with Riviere is the height of stupidity. Especially when there is Perez, Aarons, Saivet, in the wings. Sissoko was absolute rubbish, never seen him give so many balls away and play so badly. Shelvey was anonymous for a good percentage of the game. Weather condition was very bad but our performance was even worse. Can't fault Taylor or Lascelles considering........... Brolly-boy has got to go .......sharpish like! PS. DeJong & Tiote not on the bench ......why? I haven't heard of injuries.

Shelvey is pretty well anonymous. Gouffran is a no-show. We just can't keep the fucking ball. 18 days of WHAT?

I cannot believe McClaren started Gouffran!!

No, Danny Mills(right back) Alex, Norwich, Man City, Boro, England(19)

From experience with him, Mills says McClaren is a good coach, but a bad man-manager. Perhaps that is the problem as we do have plenty of talented players who consistently under-perform. I would imagine McClaren will be overwhelmed by the number of player choices he has come Wednesday but if he gets it right we should beat Stoke. Somehow I don't think he will but I hope I'm wrong.

I should be flogged (don't mean sold) for wishing and hoping Leicester would beat Norwich by 3 goals and lift us out of the bottom 3 without kicking a ball. As it was they barely managed to win late on and were lucky to get 3 points and now it's up to us against Stoke .......... FUCK!
