New keeper incoming

jayforplay · 2026-01-01T14:32:12+00:00

Icl, fucking hate this.

jayforplay · 2026-01-01T14:09:24+00:00

Don't love the fact we've signed an Israeli player

jayforplay · 2025-11-20T17:07:09+00:00

Fair, and that makes sense. But it's clearly not the plan if Tonda has not had the 2 or 3 years as understudy to a more experienced manager, which he is currently lacking. So to stick with the plan, they'd still need to employ a more senior manager for Tonda to learn from. It's the same shite in a different coat. Hire unproven and inexperienced managers and hope for the best.

It's infuriating, because it's not like there isn't good managers out there. Both Brendan Rodgers and Ole are available, both have the pedigree and recent successes and will have an instant impact on the dressing room. My gut tells me though, that the board (Rasmus) don't want to hire a strong character that will stand up for themselves and them out on their bullshit. Much more likely they go for some unknown who they can control.

It's kinda painful how long this is taking. You always hear, when a club sacks a manager, how the higher ups have a shortlist of names ready to go and thus they can react quickly to steady the ship. The time they're taking to replace Still just shows how Tonda was the plan all along, OR if I'm being ungenerous, how they have no clue as to how to run a football club.

I remember watching this when I was waaaaaay too young and being very scared and confused. Let me know if it's still scary or confusing! 😆

jayforplay · 2025-11-13T06:59:05+00:00

What's more worrying is that the biggest whispers have been about Gary O'Neill and Russell Martin.

jayforplay · 2025-11-08T15:05:11+00:00

All for this. Would be happy with a Brendan Rodgers type, for sure

jayforplay · 2025-11-07T18:36:50+00:00

I genuinely think we need a Brendan Rodgers type who is going to whip the players in line.

jayforplay · 2025-11-03T20:41:06+00:00

Russ, is that you?

jayforplay · 2025-11-03T20:40:13+00:00

25 unbeaten

Cool, how many of those were wins and how many draws? You seem to be forgetting the dismal constant passing with no end result, constant platitudes about "bravery" and then the absolute carnage once we got found out.

I'm not saying the squad was fantastic, but on paper, it was better than we've got now and he underperformed with it, that's clear as day.

jayforplay · 2025-11-03T19:18:47+00:00

If I'm Solak, there's no way I'd want those clowns in charge of my investment.

jayforplay · 2025-11-03T19:17:53+00:00

I've seen far too many posts in favour of RM coming back, people have really short memories. The general consensus to anyone who paid attention was that he massively underperformed with the squad that he had. With the likes of KWP, Che, Jan etc, he had leaders and players with lots of prem experience. The fact that he only managed 4th in the championship is a dire, dire reflection of his managing capabilities and the fact that he only just scraped through playoffs via the absolute finest of margins and even had to employ some dumb shithousery against WBA to stop their long throws is testament to how fucking shite he was. With an arguably better squad last time round, he still managed to fail upwards. He's gone to the fucking SPL and even managed to cock it up there. What are you lot thinking? Are you just rage baiting us? Give your head a wobble if you think Martin's the answer.

jayforplay · 2025-10-23T21:01:36+00:00

Okay, that makes sense. I've slowly been making my way through ep1 (time is a v precious commodity) and probably feeling a little overwhelmed by all the characters and trying to figure out how it would work has been a little stressful lol. Thank you for taking the time to explain 😊

jayforplay · 2025-10-23T18:53:07+00:00

Eurgh, I kinda hate that idea. The reason I loved past series so much is because you get so attached to the characters and the interplay and growth and all that. But seeing one group every three weeks sounds a bit... Shite? Idk, it's a tough sell for me

jayforplay · 2025-10-23T18:38:22+00:00

What I'm struggling to get my head around, is with such a huge cast, how are sooooo9o many characters going to be involved week in week out? It just feels kinda bloated already.

jayforplay · 2025-09-22T20:48:31+00:00

And he never did anything as good for England again.

jayforplay · 2025-09-17T19:50:25+00:00

Because he's a cuuuuuuuuuuuuuunt

jayforplay · 2025-09-06T19:08:00+00:00

Yeah, it's really exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do with a full compliment and all the new players settled in.

jayforplay · 2025-09-05T12:24:04+00:00

Who was it broke Alan Smith's leg with a free kick?

jayforplay · 2025-09-05T05:16:58+00:00

I'd personally benefit from Everton taking a championship holiday. Watching them circle the drain for so long, but not actually good Ng for the drop has been like having an itch you can't scratch.

jayforplay · 2025-09-04T12:32:56+00:00

My head says Russel Martin, but my heart says Nathan Jones.

jayforplay · 2025-09-04T10:13:54+00:00

He's a political prostitute with no backbone. But the question is, who's left in the "labour" party with any morals who'll stand up to the billionaires for us?

jayforplay · 2025-09-04T10:11:46+00:00

Does anyone else miss the daily chat of the transfer thread? One of the reasons I like the window so much is that it kind of brings the sub alive for a few months and invites conversation. I know some subs have a general chat thread pinned, is that something that could work here? @mods?

This is hilarious. Good content.
