Their keeper makes Walton look like Lev Yashin

Samuel bags himself a 2 year deal!!!

That's a fabulous strike

Our play in the final third is utterly abysmal.

I count 5 long balls so far. Thank God we're playing a more 'technical' style.

You know how I feel now after your earlier response. I'm off to the wellbeing police.

I daresay if those 2 had been ripping it up you'd be quite happy to continually debate TM's eye for a player.

For someone who started a topic called 'Walton stats' that's a strange thing to post. In fact the search function with you and stats as the filter would suggest that you yourself quite like more than the odd stat.

With respect to Brentford and their fans I'm pretty sure they feel they are 'punching' in the Championship so are riding the wave at the minute. Us on the other hand are former PL winners, in a PL set up with (apparently) billionaire owners.

They cost less than that when they were signed so it can be done. In my opinion there'll be nobody happier than TM with our injury and FFP situation - he gets a free pass until next season now.

Poor result when it was everything to play for. Disappointing but hardly unexpected. Seems Mowbray's performance in the consultation meeting will buy him more time with the fans than performances on the pitch. Round and round we go.....

Gutted no-one asked who sorted out his bloody flag

Indeed Tyrone. Parson likes to quote the past to back up the present situation in a lot of his posts. He'd do well to remember us consistently knocking on the door of promotion in the 80s when we didn't have a pot to piss in.

Hang on a minute, only a couple of hours ago you posted on here that we needed a target man!!

Still half an hour to get the 10 million for Buckley

Maybe self preservation?

This is message board gold. Right. There.

No worries chaps, to paraphrase, defence of the manager is coming.

Twas ever thus Merce... We're coming up to the best part of a decade of it now yet still some refuse to come to terms with it

Need to defend like beavers now

I'm sorry but to pay 5 million on a 24 year old striker and then have to teach him how to make runs and get into goal scoring positions beats the shit out of me.

I'd put my house on us not making the playoffs, in fact I'd put decent money on us not getting in the top 6 at any time this season. Feel free to bring this post back if I'm wrong. You won't need to though. Oh and Brentford will be playoffs minimum, even though we 'stuffed' them 1-0.

No, but I think there's a few been deep into the class A judging by how many think we're bound for the playoffs,

I seem to recall a big push in the national press to get Ince the job here with mild undertones of racism in football management. I was always of the opinion it was this that pressured William's into appointing Ince, especially as Michael Laudrup had been interviewed too.

That's good enough for me then. He won't be a pudding if you rate him Tyrone.
