These administrators have done more in 2.5 weeks than HWSNBN did in 9 years. Can't they just takeover and crack on

Stats can be manipulated, but context needs to taken into account. Those first few games after the departure of football angelist Russll Martin would be difficult for any manager. Getting thumped in Europe, especially a relative heavy weight like Roma? Can happen. Losing to Celtic having played a significant time with 10 men? Can happen. It took him 5 or 6 games to get going with the rabble he inherited here, but immediately you could see improvement. Jeez, some people just like to complain.

Given what he had to work with here ("Management" and the playing staff that "Management" allowed and / or gave him) and what he achieved in spite of, in combination with the relative strength of Championship v Scotland, it would not surprise me in the slightest if he can get Röhl ball going up there and win the dam thing.

Totally agree. No point pining for what's not possible right now. Concentrate on the journey and the next step.

You're lucky enough to be young enough to not remember Brad Jones... Imagine Chris Woods' ability to stay on his line when any ball comes into the box in combination with the shot stopping ability of a damp lettuce. A worse keeper I have never seen.

I was bang in line with the ball in. Keeper and defender both left it for each other. Bounced in front of him and skipped off the turf. I was surprised the ball got to him, I can only assume he was too. Still.. professional footballer with silky first touch and all that.

I'm laid up with a chest infection. I put more effort in, at considerable physical and mental expense I might add, yelling at him to close down the bloody central defenders than he did closing down the bloody central defenders.

San Siro is a bowl, but my god it is not soulless.

How big an "oh, boy" are we theoretically hypothesising? big, massive or MASSIVE Also... how much are we charging for a massager? Them seats do my back in, a nice loosener at half time would be welcome.

I was thinking the same. If they were prepared to offer £100m in the summer... why wouldn't they be even more interested at £30m now?

I think those embargoes will have wriggle room now. It wouldn't surprise me once the new owners are in place, passed the owners test and delivered their plan, if a few of them turned into 'suspended for 2 years' or similar, just as a warning... But again, to echo your sentiments - WHO CARES?!?

Frank Sinatra - I did it My Way

Lose Germany and add Portugal. They've also got the unfortunate incentive of doing it for Jota. And surely CR7 last chance to elevate himself onto GOAT status alongside Messi (and Maradona for those of a certain age)

Could have won it, then immediately got countered and could (should) have lost it!!! Last seconds of Fergie time. Ridiculous game management , although that wasn't a thing back then.

Personally, I think it's Palmer + 1 for that No.10 spot.
