At this stage, they might as well give James Corden the manager's job.

We're just so much fun to watch right now, it's unbelievable. Peak Poyet felt a bit like this, but this is better.

Now you're bragging about how fit your wife is, good work. Top-tier posting right there

They could just pick someone off the street at random, and it'd be a guaranteed improvement

I'm not angry anymore - well, maybe a little bit, but I'm more despondent. What's the point in the sport if this is going to keep happening to us over and over and over again? The "it all evens out over a season" argument doesn't wash anymore, if it ever did - we'd have to win over half our...

If I screwed up at my job that badly even *once* - never mind 5+ times in 90 minutes - I'd not only get the sack, I'd probably never be able to work in my industry again.

I hope that's true, but Barber's comment that we need to "move on" suggests otherwise to me. He wouldn't be saying that if he didn't consider the matter closed, surely.

We're not getting into Europe. PGMOL have, evidently, already decided.

Imagine how the negotiations are gonna go this summer. "Hey Moises, Alexis, Karou, we missed out on the Champions League by less that three points and the Champions League clubs now want to nick you from us. But at least PGMOL said sorry, that's enough for you to stay, right?" Those saying it's...

This is the thing... I really want to believe it was just incompetence, but surely incompetence would have affected both sides, not just one?

Their worst decision was one they took before the game started when they decided we were gonna lose the match come what may

I've noticed how often Bobby replies to our club's/players' posts on Instagram and how excited he is whenever we win. He's definitely still and always one of us.

Slightly different context, but I wondered about this when Cristiano Ronaldo got Wayne Rooney sent off in the 2006 World Cup when they were both Man Utd players at the time. Didn't seem possible to me that they'd be able to be team-mates after that. Ultimately, it didn't seem to be an issue for...

Next Leicester manager, perhaps?

I was just looking at the table and the rest of the weekend's fixtures, and found myself thinking "I hope Everton beat Spurs tomorrow, because on form, Spurs look most likely to drop out of the current top six. That could really help us". And then I remembered a time when I was looking at ours...

Had no idea that Duffy is Ireland's top scorer since Robbie Keane retired - with 6 goals since then (August 2016). Shocking stat.

Complete speculation on my part, but I suspect Trossard wasn't in a great place mentally when he left us. He was expecting to be a star of a Belgium side that went far in the world cup, but he didn't play much and they didn't get very far; at his age and at this stage in his career, his last...

What seems to be missing from much of this debate is an acknowledgement that this is being done by the Dahl estate, not some shadowy Government Institute of PC Wokery or whatever, and it's being done to keep the books marketable to new audiences with views that differ from those that prevailed...

I'll be curious to see if everyone's still so calm about this error at the end of the season when we miss out on Europe by two points and Palace escape relegation by one point. I'm being flippant of course, but it's not a completely improbably scenario.

This season, I've been looking at the League One table when I feel myself getting too carried away. There are so many teams down there that were Premier League sides in my lifetime, many of which were lauded as "well-run" clubs at the time.
