The cynical pessimist in me thinks this has been done entirely on purpose to avoid the costs and make do with what we have.

3 day Deadline Day. At least we got our money's worth.

Total radio silence from the club on deadline day plus the following day. This is a complete lack of respect for the fans. No wonder there is none in return.

EPIC FAIL

Probably couldn't find a spare shirt to announce O'Brien. Amateurs.

You and your fucking advert revenue

You know that you know better... right Mike ?

Balaji went to bed early. Sign off tomorrow.

Erm...hello... normal club ? Absolute Shambles Look forward to Chaddy telling us it was a great window in the morning.

Approval process

Jon ?.... "Ask Gregg" Gregg.... Gregg ?.... GREGGGG ?

I am expecting literally nothing to happen today.

We may field a weaker side to save ourselves for Wigan. Problem is we have seen it all before. We will get dumped out the cup and then our saved players will forget to turn up at Wigan. 2 must win games at a pivitol moment in our season.

What was allegededly said to him ? Does anybody even know ?

Fucking Shit Show Again

So now the official line has turned to we are hoping we might get one more. Pathetic Again How predictable

What about when the BBE threw bananas at Alex Williams ?

Like a suicide crossfield pass we do. "At least we can concentrate on the play offs"

Wait.... do all clubs use the same player stats database ? Isn't that a flaw in the cunning plan ?

It was an Astounding....not.

So we haven't strengthened the first team then, for a play off push. Astounding. Maybe its the 2 additional layers of vetting we have put in place, that have actually reduced our slim chances even further. Computer nerds have to first pluck them out of the stats spreadsheet. Then Gregg has to approve. Then JDT has to approve Then Swag has to approve Then Suhail has to approve Finally onto "India" to approve Player and agent then have to accept our "offer". What a pile of Venky Chicken Shit.

Nothing to see here. Same old Venky recruitment story. Probably be one loan in and a boat load of excuses.

Just thinking about the mentality factor and the giving up at one down. Right lads... The score doesn't matter. It's a 3 year project and we don't expect (want) promotion this season or next. Tyler is playing because we promised Liverpool he would. Adam isn't playing because he wants to play. Brad is playing because Sammie is injured. The rest of you are playing so we can increase your value and sell you on before the end of the project. Think of the wages lads. Highly motivational dressing room. Note to self. The club thinks we are stupid and don't know, that the 3 year project then restarts again with a new coach, new set of (too) young boys, less money and a new 3 year plan. It is they who are stupid for not knowing that we know.

Must be blind if you can't see the boring and horrible style / patterns of play. It is the exact same week in, week out. They pass it about at the back and wait until they see a half opening. Then they play a long diagonal pass forwards to get the runner in behind. This is dependant on the long pass being perfect, the run being perfect (and not being offside), the control of the ball being perfect (that's Gally out), the defender being asleep and finally the finish being clinical. Most times it doesn't work. Often the passes are way short (Pickering yesterday after 28 seconds). Often they never get as far as the long pass and get caught at the back. Basically every team which has pressed and bullied us has beaten us. I think this is also why he is playing 2 in midfield because they are generally playing past them rather than through them. It may even be because we only have skinny kids on the books and no proper men mids. That is only OK where the opposition allow us to play our game. There isn't an alternative style. In the second half yesterday we had zero shots on target. That isn't the stats of a side trying to come from behind. The style is most likely because Liverpool play this way. Although they are struggling now Mane has gone (he was the PL best player IMO). Players seem to be bought based entirely on their stats in a database these days. I doubt there is any system link between the individual player stats and the actual match results. So if we play in a PL style, the bullshit stats will indicate to the part time computer nerds that they are worthy of buying. Ignoring the fact that if you watch them with good old fashiined eyes, that they are actually shit. Project increase value. AKA fucking bollocks.

We once won the Premier League at Anfield. Enter Venkys Now we are happy to be Liverpool's academy. We were beating Arsenal, ManU, Chelsea and Liverpool. Enter Venkys Now we are getting "hammered" by Rotherham, "thrashed" by Preston and "smashed" by Burnley. Without getting into the attendances, the pitch, the stadium, the local economy, there is only one place to lay the blame.
