Yep Pulis, Allardyce, MON, Mcleish, Mcarthy and Kean
all come from that school of thought that the only way you can compete is by employing negative anti football systems.
Thankfully the teams that win things are usually the more entertaining ones.

The best thing that can happen to this club is for McLeish to leave after next weekend's game. Nice guy and a decent bloke he may be but out of a talented squad of players, he's managed to turn us into a very mediocre side. That alone should be be reason enough to let him go, never mind being 3 points off relegation.

Completely agree, although we're possibly a bit below mediocre.

Charlie Nicolas talking out of his arse on SSN. Phil Thompson talking sense, saying never going to work and that there has to be some sense with him leaving.

Yeah Nicholas was talking bollocks. What more do the fans want with the restrictions in place? They want a team to attack and try and win games, which Mcleish is incapable of managing. Also he said the fans turned straight away, did we bollocks. We gave him plenty of time to show he could handle the job and he has done nothing to show he can. He just needs to go, it's never going to work.

After the away victory at Chelsea I would say support was positively buzzing with enthusiasm, even on these pages.

That tailed off very badly and very quickly with the abject performances post-Christmas.

I think the only difference between dablues under this manager last season and us this season, is that we have that bit more quality and PL experience in our ranks to just be able to hold on to our PL status.

He's lucky we do as Blues had a point more than us at this stage last season and went down.

I really thought the Chelsea game could've been a turning point but in the end it was just a massive fluke result and we were turned over comprehensively at home to Swansea 4 hours later.

Since the Chelsea game we've won TWO league games.

He really has to go.

He'll go after the Norwich game. We'll win tomorrow and stay up with ease.

In a few months time we'll look back on these times and laugh.
