Agreed on everything in that article. Just hope the funds are available in January to strengthen Dave. Surely after yesterday they will be ?

I hope you are right about meeting Swansea at Wembley as I'm worried about the effect this hammering  could have on is if we meet chelski at Wembley again.

The article pretty much captures why I'm not in the depths of depression after yesterday's result.

Agree with the article.  I'm not as bothered as I was last time we got a pasting at Stamford Bridge and the reason for this is that we are very much a work in progress.  When we got battered 7-1 that was MON's best team and expectation was still high.   

Let's get back on track against Spurs (spit) on Wednesday.

It is a measure of the hurt and humiliation produced by that result, that Woodhall's piece is rather incoherent, as he grasps at various straws of consolation, finds each one inadequate and moves on to try another, which proves equally insubstantial.

Obviously it is Dave's duty to offer words of consolation to the fans but he proves that sometimes, it just ain't possible.

The least of our worries I assure you.

I recommend crack.

And if you can't find a willing woman, then drink. A lot.

The best way to get over this is to win the next 8 games.

Then we could return the boxes of "After Eights" our blue nosed "friends" are buying us.

Nice to see you back after your break. I'm sorry that the quality of my writing isn't to your satisfaction; perhaps you should return to where you were last week.

It seemed a bit perfunctory bearing in mind you are a published author who future generations might depend on to encapsulate the meaning and historical implications of such a result.

But if you think it represents your best work, please accept my apologies for thinking you capable of something better.
