We did have a Plan B: 'Knock it up the field to Ayew!'
That was after Plan A: 'Knock it up the field to Wilf!' became compromised.

But all joshing aside, the message that's leaked out that Roy is on the naughty step with the last grains of sand running through the hourglass... nothing but PR I reckon

Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life.

Could well be the placation of fans to keep the ship steady as possible whilst they see out the only available plan of Roy staying 'til the end of the season.
Could well be an attempt to light a fire underneath the coaching staff/team.
Could well be a very easy narrative to concoct for clickbait journalists, we're in trouble, so doubt upon the manager's position is very far from unbelievable.
Could be an owner wanting to be seen as doing something even if all his options and avenues are closed.
Could well be a true reflection of the reality.

Who knows? Nobody knows.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I can't see a change being made before Monday.
Preparations are well underway for the Chelsea game.

It will be a strange atmosphere, in particular if it's his usual lineup and tactics and we fall behind early again.

I suspect both Hodgson and Parish will feel harshly treated by the fans even if there is some justification for the anger.
In my memory this is the first time there's been such a large reaction against Parish and the way the club is run.

Both Hodgson and Parish must have much thicker skin than me as I'd be hiding in the cupboard with my fingers in my ears.

Also sensible post.

You can probably categorize fans by reference to their expectations. Man City expect to win by a margin and generally do. Man Utd have the precise same expectation but generally don't. Arsenal fans arrogantly expect to beat "smaller" clubs and also complain when they don't, but they do so in such a monotone, soporific way that you can neither drive nor handle heavy machinery if you are unlucky enough to be within earshot. Newcastle fans are the epitome of fantastical over-expectation against spectacular underachievement. And poor Millwall fans, being only partially evolved, instinctively punch and kick the nearest person regardless of performance.

Our lot are raucous and loyal but, having lived with disappointment for so long, have an expectation of failure ingrained in our DNA. The media largely shares and amplifies that.

Thus, don't be surprised by the number of pessimists predicting the drop. It's what we are.

Whether they know or not,result will be the sameignificant home capitulation!!

You should know by now that I'm always right.
