Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo (AKA Monchi)

I figured it out - clampy is damien vigadamy.

I didn't say 'don't be silly', I just said calm down. Let's just see how things pan out.

That’s the attitude - from those at the Club not you - that has got us in this mess!

Mess? Really? When I say 'calm down', this is exactly the thing I mean.

I'm not as down on him as some but it's a bit damning that if everyone was fit the majority of our best 11 would still be Bruce, Smith and Gerrard signings as the 4th window is about to close.

People are aware that Emery does have the final say on the 3,4 or 5 candidates Monchi and his team have identified right? Go back a few pages here and have a look at how the recruitment works because I think some feel Monchi chooses the player and Emery hears about it for the first time from the OS.

Like I say …

I have just listened to the bbc interview for Unai and I think he said 'we have some players coming in and that is fantastic'.  Certainly sounds like three or four incoming but he wouldn't be drawn on Rashford on his Sky interview.

That's your usual post in situations like this. Argue to the contrary if you disagree.

What is Monchi actually contributing other than rock up every month or so for pics on X looking like the hard man in fast and furious . He needs to seriously up his game .

Has it crossed your mind that maybe your expectations were too high?

There were plenty of people who said when he joined that he was joining us off a decade of failure and wasn't actually transfer Jesus.

It was like being excited that Mourinho was going to be our new manager based on what he did twenty years ago.

Can you explain  how we are not in a mess ? Put aside the Champions league for a second.  How can anything but the word 'mess' not be described our current situation  in the league?

Jokes aside dave are you seriously saying we are not in a mess?

If you think this season is a mess, then fair enough.

The current situation in the league is 4pts from 4th and 5th. But seeing I don't think we would qualify again this season for the Champions League, 3pts from Europa League....in January with 42pts to play for. What's so messy about that? You did see some of the scores the last week right, Bournemouth 5 - 0 Forest , today...Forest 7 - 0 Brighton ...it's a mad season. But you make out we're fucking Southampton every week.

I do find it a little amusing that the seasoned, experienced, knowledgeable, influential and powerful people running our club, are really just donkeys, wasters, unprofessional and naive.

It makes you wonder how they ever managed to scrape a living together in the football world.

The football world is full of charlatans, Steven Gerrard was in charge of a PL club for 18 months for example.
