Howay

They'll have Boro, although I reckon Boro would hammer them. I'll never hear that Martinez is a good manager, I don't care if he goes on to bigger and better things he can go fuck himself. Total dogshit losing to that rabble today. Incredible that the ownership of this club have sat and pulled apart a team that looked like solid top half contenders after the last promotion to such a degree that we thoroughly deserve to go down.

His shit start to the season is a good reason we're in the fucking shite now you mackem knacker.

Was just about to say aye, we'll be below mackems and Boro ffs. People can't go next season in the Championship man, they simply cant.

Aye we're tragic and it's our own fault but it's still frustrating to see a team below us picking up points in such a bullshit way. Defoe should have been off and it would have been 1-1 instead they get down the other end and it goes off a bloke being charged for being a peado and then the hand of the bloke who should have been off and goes in.

What the fuck is with the mackems? I've never seen a team get as much luck 2 pens last game, a deflected goal today, didn't give away a pen and have defoe sent off then they get a fucking double deflection in off Defoe. We're fucked.

Pretty sure Jenas leveled the "they've nowt else to talk about" bit when he wanted to leave, which makes the fact Carver is trying it as a compliment even better. The fact he said 'Nipples like Ice cubes' in an interview from one supposed professional to another is also great. Unbelievable that it has taken this much of a fucking disaster for us to come below Sunderland and possibly get relegated again but Ashley has well and truly fucking managed it.

Aye, flukey as fuck which is their style. Thanks Carver and co for making me feel like I have to watch this shite.

Mackems go 1 up, we're fucked.

Fucking hell man, how can they have the gall to push all these 'get behind the lads' messages then the next day have the bloke come out and go "oh aye I'd be long gone if I was in charge of anyone else" like it's some fucking source of pride! Fuck 'the lads' they gave up long ago and fuck the ownership and leadership of the club as they've intentionally done the minimum required since our promotion and it's close to catching them out again like it was last year and the year before. I honestly just wish Carver would shut his fucking trap and just get on with losing every week, he's the one attracting attention to himself now with his utter insane rants. How can a bloke come out and say he believes he's the best in the league and then say that he would be sacked if he was anywhere else? Incredible

I'd have it set up the same as you but Riviere instead of Armstrong. I know Riviere is struggling for goals but he has shown some (brief) flashes of being a Premiership player whereas I think Armstrong wont make the grade, he doesn't have the pace or skill to make up for his lack of physicality tbh. Utter shite side whatever way you cut it, what a total fucking disaster. In fact there would be some mild temptation to put Gouffran up top as he did manage to score in the past when he played there, that looks like it's gone now but what else is there I suppose? Just put ol' one leg out on his crutches if necessary.

This. I think either way Charnley's gone as Ashley loves a scapegoat to deflect attention off the one constant over the 8 years of errors. I'm worried like DK that if we go down he might chance Carver mind, I think if we stay up he's gone though, I dont even think he'll keep a coaching job now. Club ringpiece Ryder will be cranking out articles about how Mike is being ruthless to avoid future disasters, he'll now appoint blokes that really know football and he wants the club to compete not just survive.

What a fucking shambles, that's what we needed right now this useless cunt settling comfortably into the management seat. No wonder he come out saying he's the top coach in the Prem, I fully expect he walked into that meeting with Lee with his shoulders slouched and left with his chest further out than Stevie Teeeeeeeeeeee. I just imagine it went like when Michael in the American version of The Office tried to fire Creed.

Fucking hell, what a horrid night.

"Ah hope he doesn't apply for me job" Cracking article btw HF

This was said last year too, they can get to fuck man, there wont be a post mortem if we survive it'll simply be 'okay what's the least we can do to survive and we'll see where we are in January' as fucking always.

I remember hearing he wasn't injury prone before he come here, what the fuck do our staff do? are they kicking this lot in?

Any chance of him unzipping his mouth to say he was mistranslated? to be fair he's a far better writer than the Knight Ryder, maybe the Ronnie Gill could give him a job when he hangs up his boots as he's a good listener.

Those last four years have been consistency at it's finest mind 38, 41, 38, 41 point finishes. That's what 150m buys you these days.

I just imagine him jotting it down with his tongue out and Jonas pointing at a word on the page "i theeenk eeets Caaant no' Canit" Then WIlliamson walks past "nah maaayte its spewwt Carnt, I fink thats it". It's incredible man, the fact they would even be thinned skinned enough to go "ahh well he did write it, you see!! DO YOU SEE!", then to have Carver completely fall off his rocker and call himself the best coach in the league. What the fuck is that about? that'll lose any respect he had at all with the players, why would you even say such a thing? There's probably supporters out there who could do a better job let alone professional coaches, in fact he actually can't do any worse since he has lost every game for the last two month. It's embarrassing enough supporting the club at the moment without watching the bloke in charge having a full on Frank Bruno break down, which I'm agreeing with Gemmill now that he's having. I'd say Charnley needs to do something but he has already had a meeting and is fully convinced by this fella so it'd be a fair assumption to think he's losing his marbles too, as he's also in a job he has no qualifications to be in!

I don't know if it's within their power but it would be nice if all the European FA's told Fifa where to go and carried on playing through the winter (I know many already have a 2 week or so break but the World Cup one will be a month or so right?) and refused to release any players from their clubs to play in it. This world cup is an absolute disgrace tbh and the heads of Fifa deserve human rights charges leveled at them along with Qatar. Of course like I say I've no clue if it's within any of the FA's powers but I do know none of them have the bollocks to do it so the tournament will go ahead even if they were shooting workers who weren't working hard enough.

Maybe we still pay him the same wage he got when he was Freddie's tea man? Good value if he is tbh, although for the amount of decisions he has actually made we should have just put the tea kettle in his role. The Tea kettles silence might have driven Carver to quit as he thought it was playing hardball and he ended up speaking first.

That would probably improve him as a manager tbh, he might stop insulting all the players.

It would be unbelievable if we didn't know these blokes. Terrifying that they're running a football club.

Messi's also 3 years or so younger, so he'll have 3 years more scoring at this sort of rate than Ronaldo in all probability. Fwiw I'm not bothered which is better, they're both among the best to ever play the game.
