What isn't true though? I have not said anything untrue. And after that run of 6 straight defeats points average was 1.13. Ultimately we did better, you can use that to argue, but not a smaller sample size. That is how on earth it was not an improvement on results, till the last 8 games. I...

One of the reasons I defended him was that it did appear that progress was being made, and I honestly thought that if we were patient with him and allowed him time to improve, we would have some mutual loyalty, and a very long term Coach, which is one reason why it felt like such a betrayal when...

The only fair sample size is one complete season. But if you want, stick us in the form guide for the 25 games immediately prior to the 14 game period over 2 seasons you have chosen for Potter. I liked him when he was here, I was bothered when he left, but glad he has gone now because we have...

He has had a total of about 90 minutes in the PL, Welbeck has had ten times the time on the pitch and hasn't scored a goal either. He had 10 minutes on the pitch against Boro and scored, Welbeck had 25 minutes and didn't. He was only on the pitch for 65 minutes v Forest Green too, he has not had...

We were good, but the opposition in most of those wins were not in good form at the time.

I agree that with De Zerbi we have not beaten any of the better sides yet, but it didn't feel like Arsenal were a class above us the other week, and I think they were fortunate to meet us without Caicedo or Mac Allister available to us.

Yes we were 4th, but you know we had only played 6 games right? We beat Leicester 5-2, Leeds 1-0, West Ham 2-0 and on the opening day, Man Utd at old Trafford for the first time ever, 2-1. It was great. But objectively, we had some soft opposition on the days. Leicester lost 5 of their opening...

I did say in terms of results at Brighton it was minimum achievement. Brighton Season 2, I think Covid gave him a break from the sort of spell he is having right now and did him and us a favour.

No, not myth, I do believe that is often the arrangement. Deals can be done though, like offer to pay up 50% of the contract and then be free to take up other offers. Or there may be a minimum performance level that allows them to sack without paying out.

Undoubtedly the work in Sweden was top notch. His work at Swansea and at Brighton in terms of results was minimum expected really, but we did look like we were about to do something special.

None that qualified by placing in the Premier League though.

I don't remember Boots and Saddles, but yes, I loved all those others, and the old black and white movies.

My Grandad used to tell a joke about two Cow girls, one wore knickers and the other didn't, known as Raw hide and Shy Anne (Cheyenne, another cowboy series from the 50's)

Not right now, but the window is open.

It's not like he has managed in England before, had all his coaches on board with him, knew any of the players and didn't need to move his family to a new country. Given that he is now on top of all that, and the players know more of what he wants from them, I think we should see better from...

I have gone and sat next to someone gobbing off like this deliberately, between them and their target, just sat, not said anything or looked at them, just sat, and it petered out. Another time was about to interject with a loudmouth who was just being a bit ott with his volume and language with...

Inevitable.

Why would any discussion on pay have to include productivity gains, if pay rises have not kept up with inflation?

Yeah, I am on a tangent.

It doesn't have to be predictable to be inevitable.
