We were crap this time last season as well. Ok maybe not as bad, but we will bounce back.
Just need a win Wednesday, any old scrappy win.

The FA Cup third round draw is tomorrow night.

Mark Hughes and Dion Dublin draw the balls.

Takes place at OLD Toilet. So i guess the Rags will be drawn at home.

The biggest question this season is what the fuck has happened to Phil Foden ?
If ever there was a time that we needed him it’s now and he knows it and he’s nowhere to be seen, he’s done absolutely nothing since Southgate and the media love in with Bellingham, he’s been ruined.

Good q. Shadow of the player. No goals.

The Euros did not help him. I dont think his family help matters. It's a perfect storm for us at the moment. It will pass but fuck knows when

What’s all this waving 6 fingers about after a hiding? Nearly as bad as haalands stay humble speech

[Sparklehorse]

I’m sure he put 7 fingers up at one point.

I don’t blame him - I would have done far worse

Only thing annoying me at the moment with Pep is the, “maybe I should be sacked” comment. He knows full well he won’t be sacked and saying it is almost a “I’m bigger than the club” comment. Starting to piss me off a little.

He’ll get it right. He’s the best manager in the world and I think we’ve had so much bad luck with finishing, opposition gk’s having the game of their lives, players making basic errors, injuries.

I think he’ll get it right, my worry is we need to get it spot on in January and the summer. We cannot keep buying average shite for £50m+ while our main players are aging. I’d give Kev the option in January to either move on or start playing. We can’t be paying a player £300k+ a week while they’re saying they won’t play. Thanks for all you’ve done but let’s move on if you don’t wanna play.
You’ve only got to look at Odegard coming back from injury with Arsenal and how that’s turned them around.

Good post Mase. I just cannot understand how so many are so of it. The levels of some players who we know are winners has become our issue. The management team must shake it up. Or this becomes like the Pelligrini final season!!!!!

These letters to the fans are giving me headaches.

Fucking sort it, don't need letters and press releases. Do your fucking job as a player or move the fuck on.

[Nick]

All seems bizzare

Walker letters
Dias biting in interview
Pep biting

Would like to hear an explanation aa to why KDB is not playing more. Ok he can't play every game, not at all expecting that. But he's been training for a while now yet is getting very little game time. He came on at approx 80 mins yesterday. He should have been on at half time.

Yet gundo is playing every game and has been far from good.
Head scratching stuff.
