Like I say, never heard of it before,  but quite funny though.
I can't laugh at my team now and I don't think I will ever look back on these times and say it was quite funny. I find myself avoiding premier league highlights, radio and newspapers in a desperate attempt to minimise the pain.

There is no need to thrash our promising youngsters now in this team and totally destroy them as we continue to lose match after match. Leave them for next season when we are hopefully winning more and they can be introduced into the first team.

Vic Crowd was a very hard, very direct uncomplicated man of exemplary character. I hope Remi Garde proves to have the same qualities.

Agreed.

It's the Daily Mash.

Doesn't former H&V funny poster Smiffy write for it (or something similar)? In fact, I wonder if Mazrim, Fletcher and the other big guns we've lost this decade is the real reason we're crap.

All I can do is laugh at us now. Gallows humour and all that.

I do think we're that bad that it's almost comical. Not sure I'll agree if Wycombe turn us over on TV come Saturday lunchtime mind.

 Guardiola has said that he is considering several offers from Premier League  clubs and that's where he wants to manage next so I have no doubt  our clever Fox has beenpissing in his ear and it's just a matter of time.....................................oh ok he said Premier League :-[

For what it's worth, I think it's a load of bollocks.
But then again, I remember when humour was funny

Agree.  Besides loan moves should be used to test players in the first instance.  Proper football but without the eyes and weight of expectation from the fans.

Granted this was in one of the papers but I had to laugh that Remi Garde apologized for talking about Loic Remy in the press, and in the same article gets quoted as confirming that he is looking at Debuchy.

I thought that.  Brilliant lack of awareness.  But then at least he had spoken to Winger and knows him well.

There is that.
But I still eagerly await the day we finally just throw caution to the wind and hire Alan Partridge as our manager.

Jet from Gladiators to host a Millennium Barn Dance at Yeovil Aerodrome. Properly policed. It must not, I repeat not, turn into an all-night rave.
