Equally, Stuart, I would prefer it if you could avoid sending me PMs suggesting that I fellate horses dressed as Fred West with all salad everywhere instead of carpet.


Is it you or the horses dressed as Fred West?

What is the significance of the salad?
This has me in bits on the 7:33 to Euston.

The horse. I’m always dressed as Fred West, which is why it would be such a hurtful thing for Stuart to PM me.

Allowing your opponent to punch themselves  out doesn't always work Steve.  We may be in a position of being a goal  down, or facing a team that is fitter physically than ourselves.

I understand the tactic but although in general it has had some success will not produce a top 2 finish.

think we're stuck with him for now. Well i don't think, we are.  He'll be looking to go up via the play-offs now if the wheels don't come off and then its either bye in May or we enjoy a few months of Brucefootball in the premiership till the club get rid.

I don't actually blame him for yesterday. He was collectively let down by half the team who looked like they need a rest (due to either being genuinely tired or because they couldn't be arsed).

Tired is surprising as their last game was 8 days ago.

Big if, but if the club were thinking of getting rid, now might be the optimum time. Coming into the January sales, players getting fit, new Manager bounce? Can't see it as he's doing just enough to earn his keep. It is still pretty poor though in terms of quality.
