this French joke we have? Ha!
What does his nationality have to do with it?

Nothing. He's a joke and he's from France. Nothing sinister intended whatsoever.

Next week is a not a must win.

It is a you WILL NOT lose to Wycombe Wanderers.   

I honestly couldn't care less.

OK, which one the players are you?!!

For the record, I don't think we have 11 players capable of beating Wycombe next week but as least we can give the Nation another laugh trying to find out.

Irish joker, Pakistani joker, Jewish joker, French joker.... OK fair enough.

Your defence of Garde is understandable, the problem I have is that he seems to still be learning everything we already knew and he should have known about these players. It was crying out for a new approach, we have done pretty much the same both in tactics and personnel that we were doing before he came and getting the same results.This Garde team has no distinctive style or personality. Sadly he has achieved fuck all so there has been no point to his appointment.

That's where I am as well.  Yes the team is eye-bleedingly poor, but there's been no improvement in any section of the team at all.

After yet another truly apalling display, we all post things in the heat of the moment.

I've nothing against Reme Garde. Never met the bloke and seems personable enough. However, he doesn't strike me as a cup throwing, arse kicking bastard which in my opinion is what we needed to inject some life into our corpse of a squad. Still, it's all about opinions and I would love nothing better than to have mine thrown back in my face if he proves me wrong however, I'm afraid he seems to be just the latest in a long line of shocking managerial appointments. We shall see.

So it is Garde's fault? and Sherwood's, and then Lambert's, and then Mcleish's.... there is something more rotten to it - but I feel more comfortable with the start tactics from Garde than I do from the others.

If you have a squad of poor players the only thing you can do is make the unit tight and fight hard.

Garde has been hired to get the best out of this squad but there is nothing to show for his however many games.

I'd rather not see these players celebrating, unless we miraculously stay up.

was summed up to me

Gestede

needed a simple through ball to Adama

possibility of going through on goalie to make it 2-1

and he couldnt even do that - he dodnt even bust a gut to go and chase it back . a la Vardy

and then Sunderland go up the other end and score with guzan absolute useless .

That was just dreadful.  All he needed to do was just keep the ball moving, and yet his utter lack of coordination came to the fore again, it bobbled off his shin to one of them, and bang, we're 2-1 down.  From him, to Lescott and then Guzan, it was just poor play from three exceedingly bad players.
There was a similar one last game and he was unable to perform a 3 yard pass, useless.

I very rarely bet, but I'm gonna stick a few quid on Wycombe next week if they're not already odds-on favourites.

We could cause the upset of the round if we come away with a draw, the BBC will love it!

Is it worth buying a chipped Amazon fire stick? Can you watch Championship games on them?
