4 points adrift 8 games in is spectacular.

Even Lambert never reached those dizzy heights.

I know it is early days, but with Palace 3rd, Leicester 4th and West Ham 5th, and with Southampton and Swansea being such thoroughly decent sides, why do so many of us just meekly accept that we have some sort of hex upon us whereby we can't possibly aspire to win matches every now and then? One which means we have to accept the likes of Allardyce as our manager?

Because none of those sides look remotely as inept as us and we all feel as though we've seen this movie before. And ultimately how shit a movie it is.

He can laugh all he likes, the fact is we'd be trailing b-lose in the second division if we'd sacked him a couple of weeks later than we did.

The fucking useless twat.

It's utterly shameful. But we create new and more embarrassing stats every week.

And I know which one we'll get

If we sack the clown we will appoint which ever manager requires the least vision, the laziest appointment possible because no one involved in the club has any vision.

I would like us to at least look at someone like Lucien Favre. Did a very good job with Borussia Mönchengladbach, prior to things going a bit wobbly at the start of this season. He's also someone who's not quite in the Klopp tier and thus makes him a more realistic appointment. My one reservation would be that he's not managed in England before and thus may take time to adapt.

I suspect most of the managers we'd be happy with would refuse to join a club where the manager's remit from the owner is basically to stay in the division while spending as little as possible, while the owner in question desperately casts around for someone to buy the whole thing and the fans, who are used to expecting a bit more from their illustrious club, get ever more pissed off by the lack of ambition.

It's not exactly a recipe for success, is it?

When Sherwood said we wouldn't be in a relegation battle he must have meant we won't fight for our place. He got something right!
