The Owen Coyle team would beat this mob. Christ, Tavares makes hope Akpan look like Viera

I said it after a couple of games that this season stinks of Owen Coyle season and I think I was wrong, this will get worse. Lots of positives, played well, etc. bollocks. Good teams win more matches than they lose, we lose considerably more than we win so draw your own conclusions

This is why we’ll get relegated, 45 mins of good work undone in 3 minutes. Though you could argue it was done during a few weeks in summer

I’ve not seen the original post just a picture sent to me in WhatsApp groups that had been picked up in socials. I’d not said it was 100% genuine, just it had been doing the rounds. Apologies if I’ve jumped the gun or misrepresented anything

It's all white, blue V neck collar and a Maltese cross. Honestly you don't want to see it

If it is the kit doing the rounds on Facebook, etc it's possibly one of the biggest own goals (in a long and disastrous list) of the Venky's tenure

If you look at the juxtaposition between Spain 2010 and Barcelona 2010/11, which culminated in that exhibition against United in the CL final I'd say it's fairly safe to say Pep wasn't the problem.

Makes me laugh the blame Pep gets for the ill's for modern football. Barcelona scored over 75% of their goals through counter attacks, Bayern were one of the most counter attacking teams in recent years, City at the peak went forward so quickly it was breathtaking. What's happened has been a corruption of his/Cruyffs' style and turned into this possession at all costs nonsense, Cruyff always said look for the furthest pass first and work your way back. The opposite is now true with your Martins, etc where they do not look beyond the next line. Re Spain 2010, Del Bosque had always been a very conservative manager, in fact that Spain 2010 team had loads of internal problems about the negativity of their play, big fall outs within the team, etc. That team wasn't a a representation of Spanish football at the time, it was a manager trying to force his way on a team of players largely used to playing something totally different.

What happens when we've been beaten by Derby, fans are up in arms and it's pishing down with rain? They expecting people to hang round another 90 mins to watch some has beens and never beens play? No chance

He went to St. Michael's RC so defo of the wrong persuasion for that mob.

based on the fact McKenna went to a catholic high school I'm not sure it's a move worth making for him.

Totally agree but I bet there would have been a fair number (like me) who travel in sacked it off rather than sit soaked for a few hours and the drive home

There is the customary johanssen save

De Neve has made a difference, his delivery has been excellent.

Cantwell done well there, Phillips had a bit of a mare too.
