That same interview was just copy and pasted for all of his post match interviews, surely?

"I thought we were excellent"
"We go again"

I hate those words now!

Aye.  The poor Tatters.

They have had to endure Stale Solbakken. Now they have Stale Miseryarse McCracken.

I tend to think that the nadir is reached when the fans stop booing/crying/venting their spleen and start laughing at the team.  I wasn't at Vicarage Road last season, but when my phone bleeped twice in quick succession, whilst I was stuck in traffic on the M6, I knew instantly what those goal alerts meant. When the radio confirmed it, I laughed.

The 0-6 at home to Liverpool was utterly shambolic.

Another vote for this - this defeat was followed by Lescott's sports car tweet.

I was in the pub. While I didn't have the beep of a mobile phone to tell me, I instead had Jeff Stelling saying, "and there's another goal at Vicarage Road." There was an inevitability about his words.

And yes, I laughed too. If I hadn't, well you know the alternative.

I pissed myself laughing as the goals kept going in against Liverpool. I was sat in the Holte Suite at half time and had a battle going on in my mind. Two down, freezing cold, no hope of getting back into it. And that is when I gave up.

Fuck it, I could be at home in the warm pissing about with my lads rather than forcing myself to watch this shit and putting up with the shoddy Sunday evening train service home.

So I left and caught the train from Witton ten minutes later. We were four down by the time I got to New Street I'd I recall correctly.

You could also add a transfer window that was Joe Cole, Kieran Richardson, and some other free agent. Senderos? Ugh.

We probably bought that trio by weight.  "Quarter of a ton of footballers please". "Righto chief.  Open or wrapped?"

Randy lerner - disliking Doug, I was full of hope when lerner came in, then "me" making excuses for the absolute shambolic running of the club by this charlatan of a business man, lerner was out of his depth and I was took in, until it was so bloody obvious.

that was pretty low

I know it isn't in the last 5 years but GT Mark II - Oyvind Leonhardsen injuring his hamstring whilst cantering towards a ball going out of play for a throw in.  And also, Oyvind Leonhardsen.

Oh yeah, I just thought. I was coming up from London and thought kick off time was 3.00 but it turned out it was a lunchtime kick off. As I approached the ground people were already streaming out because we were losing 4-0. Let's just say I wasn't that downhearted that I'd got the kick off time wrong. We were playing Spurs I think.

Shit the bed. Quick, let me get over to the players you forgot played for the Villa thread.
