[hello]

It's a joy to behold.
'You can't polish a turd'
'But somehow he's made the turd worse'

Like when you try to flush it and you only get it to turn 90 degrees and fully wedge on the abyss?

Rag's have always been seen as 'too big to fail' but I think that’s gone now.

The facade is slipping to reveal the crumbling foundations. I think they're in serious financial trouble which is beining kept under wraps.

You love see it ;-)

What would it be like if Ronaldo came to us? I will always wonder about this.

 

[Groke]

That's an incredible interview. Must be a huge divide within the changing room cos he wouldn't have gone in that strong if he knew he had no backing. Clearly aimed at the two Portuguese posers (among others)

"75,000 roaring behind us" - hmmm, ok luke

He would have scored more goals but he wouldn't have been put on a pedestal in a macabre manifestation of a bukkake party.

Not that it matters now or by then, but March is the killer Month for the Rags. City, Spurs, Atletico, Liverpool.

Next it's Villa twice, West Ham, Burnley, Southampton, and Leeds.

When the rags approached Herr Rag Neck and he became their manager/trainer/interim whatever/gruppenfuhrer, there were several posters advising us to be very afraid for our future, as he was a master tactician, organiser, etc, and the rags would become a major force again in short order.
With the benefit of hindsight over his tenure to date, has he lived up to your predictions?
Be honest, or were you genuinely swayed by the media's positivity that the rags had finally got their man?

Come back when you've gone down two leagues and nearly ended up out of business but for a bit of luck.

Rags have no self awareness.

Poor phil

How I've missed Phil the face. He.should do that comedy routine where the guy stands there in a dinner suit singing and banging his head with a tray

 

[tweety]

The Face was the only one that put in a shift tonight. Whoever they bring in after RAGnick they'll be on a hiding to nothing, their club is completely toxic. Hopefully it gets a lot worse for the twats.

 

[sheepskin_tearaway]

I’ve only just stopped laughing.

That was hilariously inept.

If we’d paid £72 mill for someone who has been as poor as Sancho we’d be pilloried. And how bad was Rashford

 

[Blue Mist]

Right. Who should City sign this January?

Not broken enough for my liking.

They literally have no way to turn. They are a victim of their own success and history. Club is eating itself alive in front of our eyes. Empire has crumbled. It will never be rebuilt in our lifetimes. We'll chase their league haul down in the next 15/20 years and win a few CL in that time. By the time my kid is my age. The tide will fully have turned. They will be consigned to the annuls of time.

All dodgy games for a bang average team
