Hasta

to calm it down 😂

Soft. I’ve no problem with the ref giving that if he was consistent , but then I’d love him to answer why Dolan and Walsh didn’t get a yellow card in the first half. “Because it’s early in the game” isn’t a valid reason you prick.

Pre-Ismael. 3 from 5

I cant be arsed watching them in full but if he said that, oh dear.

Don’t know why, but he reminds me of the first zombie you encounter in Resident Evil. That was feasting and leeching on a decaying carcass as well.

There isn't going to be a "we can get rid of you for free" clause unless it's something drastic like linked to an actual relegation. There might be some period when the pay-off would be reduced, but I'm sure it will still cost money to shift him out. Why would they do this? Waggot is almost at retirement but needed to solve the manager problem before he goes. He really doesn't give a shit if there's any mess when he has gone. Suhail will have signed off on a cheap manager who he feels won't give him a problem or jump ship. Venkys don't care. Rudy's will have been an inexperienced stooge in the managerial process.

Friday night with Suhail, Stevie, Rudy and Val. No thanks.

I know you’re clutching at straws, but you can’t include Ismael’s part of the record when trying to put down previous coaches. We are now 0 from 5. Before he came we were 3 from 5 and 8 from 18.

Givemesport Worst managers in soccer history.

Only 38 months left on his contract.

I believe it’s the law. If ball hits ref now it has to restart with a drop ball at that spot given to the side in posession before it hit the ref.

God knows. I couldn’t be bothered watching that first half once I saw the team.

Same players didn’t look as tosh under Eustace. They are obviously very limited at this level. However A good coach knows what he’s got and devises a system to get the best out of them. JE clearly did that. Ismael is too one-dimensional to do that, so he insists on playing how he wants to play with players not suitable to doing it, hence why they looks shit.

To be fair that season was a right shit show off the pitch. Neither Berg nor Appleton showed anything, but the infighting going on makes Waggots reign look stable.

Tactically probably yeah. But once you add in the lies, bullshit and compliance in the pillaging of the club, not a chance. Although scratch that. I just remembered Tottenham away

Portsmouth have the biggest difference between their home form and away from of anyone in the league (32 point at home, 10 away). This will be much tougher.

Interesting that Derby give a 6.6% discount if you have had a season ticket for 5 years and a 13.5% discount if you have had a season ticket for 10+ years. Loyalty rewarded, not milked. Swansea's cheapest adult is £350, but you can also get a free child at that price. Two facts not mentioned by the LT article or Yasir. I'm sure there's plenty more if you dig beneath the surface.

Exactly. They know which home areas are the most populated and have hit them with the price rise. They are offsetting the argument with "well if you want to pay less move into the Riverside", again knowing most people who have spent 30 years in the BBE or the JW aren't really going to do that.

For the first time in a while I'm leaning towards the "No" camp. It's not possible to pick from the generic reasons above. I can live with the moved kick-off times as annoying as they are. I can afford to pay more than I am now. I've proved I can even live with the lack of investment. However they all apply. I'm probably now a "No" because I finally have had enough that the people running the club are choosing to just bleed me dry for my loyalty, rather than doing their job and trying to improve the club and grow the fanbase. And despite cuts, poverty and failure they appear to be getting handsomely rewarded for doing it.

OK. In 37 years I've never been in there! I also don't think I've ever watched a game from the top tier of the BBE or DE stands.

The Riverside. Genuine question as there may be many, but is there another stand in the Championship that doesn't have an underneath concourse? Where you queue for your snacks in the rain?

They're waiting for it to be signed off from India.

Whatever the price, it will be a short early bird discount period before it starts to leap up. They will feel they need the short period to do something to get sales in just in case the season completely crashes and burns (it has already, but they probably don’t believe that).

The story of Valerien Ismael sacking and West Broms only choice Practically to a man the West Brom fan base and journalists knew his time was up and the direction of travel was downwards. I’ve never seen that article but it matches pretty much what one of my West Brom’s supporting suppliers tells me of his time at The Hawthorne’s. Here’s a Watford one:- Nine league games without a win at home since November 28 during which time they lost six can only really take you in one direction.
