Laudrup's record at Swansea isn't all that great in win % terms:

PL: 84
W:  29
D:  24
L:   31
Win %: 34.5%

His previous spells at Spartak Moscow and Mallorca weren't that great either.

You forget the small matter of winning the league cup as well

I didn't forget it, I just didn't think it was relevant to the Premier League.  McLeish won the League Cup too, and had a tougher opponent than Bradford City in the Final.

They did beat Chelsea though. Over two legs as well.

One of the few enjoyable aspects last night was the interplay (I refuse to use the B word) between the two sets of fans. I think the home supporters seemed to be more sympathetic towards our pain than they might otherwise have been.

I think they were a little bemused that we joined in with their songs about how shit we were.
Surreal night in some ways. The bloke next to me was rocking backwards and forwards most of the 90 mins and singing very badly out of tune

Tim Sherwood 2/1?? NFW!! Is there some sort of JobCentre scheme for ex-managers? 
Let's start an Ole Gunnar Solskjær rumour again!  I can only hope!

Next manager betting markets by their nature tend to be random. But that is fantastically random.

I've said it numerous times, this fucking manager is nothing more than a chancer. Completely out of his depth & it's been displayed for all to see time and again. Culverhouse & Karsa were the scapegoats last season & Keane walked after witnessing the inept performance at QPR. There's no one else left to blame except Lambert. We haven't even got an assistant to step in if we sacked him tomorrow.

We all know, Dweedle Dee & Dweedle Dumb up front offer zero goal threat, it was confirmed for all to see when Benteke was out last season. Yet, Lambert chose to do nothing about it. Why he thinks they will suddenly start to offer a goal threat is astounding.

Sinclair has played fuck all football for 3 years & it shows.

Joe Cole was blowing out of his arse 10 minutes after coming on.

We all wanted it to work & we've been incredibly tolerant, but enough is enough.

Summed quite perfectly

I had hoped that he had a Fergie period and at some point it would round and he could have the last laugh. I was wrong he is a clueless muppet

I don’t really understand the players. Are they so in thrall of a manager’s instructions that they refuse to go “bollocks to this I’m ignoring him”?




A lot of them are quite young and considering the 2nd and 3rd in command was sacked for alleged bullying of players maybe they all just keep their heads down. It is also alleged that Lowton crossed Lambert and has been given the cold shoulder ever since

As for the bizarre reason behind the issuing of 4 year contract I would not mind betting that it was based on the fact that Lerner thought the club would be sold and that any new owner would have to pay him off.

Sale did not materialise and now we are stuck with paying the contract up in full

What a load of shambolic cock we have turned into

Sounds like you were standing next to me silhill!

Just to confirm: was screaming and biting involved?
Sometimes I black out.
