There we go with the thesaurus again.

The Burnley game is huge, unless we can get a result against United, which let’s face it, is the Peter Crouch of tall orders.

If we have a poor December then there will be enormous pressure on Hodgson to go and on Parish to dig deep for the new manager. However, there is no way SP fires RH unless the yanks demand it.

Starting to get a bad feeling about this season and wondering is this the one where it all comes crashing down.

I still believe Hodgson can turn this around but it is our recruitment lately has been very damaging to our plight.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

We are not going to get a point against Manchester United. So we can all stop dropping into the depths of despair when we lose. Even if we get a shock result, the Burnley game is still huge.

I do not share your despair, I think we will be Ok. But anyone who expected us to do well this season (I always thought we would be at the right end of a relegation battle) will be sorely disappointed.

I agree with the recruitment. I happen to think that we need to sort the business side of things out, which is where we are struggling. The recruitment is poor, the treatment of the fans seems pretty poor, the churn of managers, injuries etc. It just always feels like we are a Championship business punching above our weight, whereas Brighton for example feels like a Premiership business becoming established in the league.

That bit is the surprise because we are run by successful businessmen, but we will never stop being a lower mid-table side until we sort that out.

Even with Wilf we are poor at home
Benteke adds nothing so him coming back expecting goals we are delusional
We are in the worse 3 teams in the division
Big changes needed and its boring fighting relegation every season
sacrificing the cups for the money is weary

if i'm not here i'm ripping up the tarmac on the Ducati
not here for long so better enjoy it

I would give you that we are amongst the worst six teams. Along with five others. Although the league table over the last five years would suggest otherwise.

However, I don't think we are "sacrificing the cups for the money", I don't think that the cups are a reasonable aspiration. Getting ourselves into one of the ten worst teams in the league has got to be our next mission.

Well let’s not get carried away

You are spot on though. If we don’t start to perform at home, and if we don’t start to get results vs teams in and around us we are done for.

We have stayed up this long in spite of Parish, in many ways, rather than down to him. Now I am reading Allardyce made some comments about personal issues with SP as to why he really left.

Parish has learnt from that first transfer window but he hasn’t learnt enough, and not quick enough.

I am a broken record but the hiring of FDB doesn’t just show someone who had a bad few weeks but it shows SP is so clueless with many of the big decisions he makes.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Totally agree.
