    It's time to go, isn't it?

    I'd be more than happy with Deschamps coming in next year, much as I'm not sure I'd recognise the club with someone young, promising and apparently competent in charge. In fact, I wouldn't be entirely shocked if there was a deal in place already. Let's hope so anyway.

    I think Kenny, Souness, Uncle Roy the 1st, Mad Ged, Rafa and Owlhead should have a halftime It's A Knockout complete with comedy costumes and big puffy jousting poles at the Wolves game, with whoever wins then taking the job forever. It's a plan that's heavy on the slapstick and fixated with the past, so suits us perfectly, and it'll be a lot more entertaining than the football.

    People need to calm down. This was a side managed by Alan Pardew, and we simply can't expect to compete with that kind of football brain. There's going to be a lot of kneejerk criticism from the boo-boys tonight, but the fact is it's almost Christmas and we're still in touch with Sunderland and Bolton, and as long as Blackpool and Blackburn don't win their games in hand, we're still on for that historic place in the top half of the table. Viva la Royvolution!

    Well, not as far as Bothroyd goes, no - that's according to me. You may or may not think I know fuck all, either way is fine.
  6. Moschops II
    I think people need to decide whether they prefer Elmander or Bothroyd, as those are the two it's apparently between for January.
  7. Moschops II
    Haven't the energy to trawl through the last few pages - I take it it's public knowledge we want to bring in Bothroyd in January?

    I'm just hoping that when Hodgson goes a line will finally be drawn under the whole thing and this demented, mind-numbing bollocks will stop. I might be being too optimistic though.

    Tom Hicks Jr, El-Hadji Diouf and Graeme Souness have all had roles at the club in the recent past. Did they deserve our respect and support? I'm not sure "class" is the same as uncritical acceptance and hero worship, and if not, well - it all depends on how you define "extremes of behaviour" doesn't it?

    Sadly, most people won't wonder why at all, because it might involve a few uncomfortable conclusions. Better just to bring Rafa Benitez up again.
  11. Moschops II
    Just right for a side who belong somewhere between Stoke and West Brom.

    I do try not to let football make me angry anymore, but if someone doesn't get this woeful fucking prick out the club quick sharp, I really will despair. And he can take Jamie Me with him.

    Maik Taylor's going to be getting the call any minute, isn't he?
  14. Moschops II
    I think we all know how that one's going to go, don't we?
  15. Moschops II
    Much, much better today, although anyone half-decent would have played havoc with our twin weak spots at full back. Thought Raul and Cole were both very good, and it would be brilliant if this was the start of a resurgence from Torres... but I think it's also a sign of how far we've fallen that a one goal home victory over an Allardyce team is being greeted as if we'd just won the league.
  16. Moschops II
    Let him go. I'm sure Carragher's got a mate who could replace him.
  17. Moschops II
    As likely as us playing well in the first place?
  18. Moschops II
    I don't think they should be, no. For a start, that presupposes we have faith in the people appointing them, which speaking personally I don't and haven't for many years. For another thing, the club's been facing a unique set of problems recently – to me, Hodgson was brought in as the best available candidate at a time when the ownership of the club was in chaos/crisis, with a brief of not getting us relegated while God knows what took place off the field. I don't personally think he's up to that anyway, but more importantly if and when we have anything resembling proper owners again, the brief of the job changes immediately. Hodgson was brought in to help us survive (not that he seems very competent at it so far). If we're looking to succeed, we need a new man.
  19. Moschops II
    True, but for me his record is a good deal more impressive than Hodgson's too (second in the league with his small unfashionable team as opposed to Fulham's 12th, record points total for Real before getting sacked). We'd probably also have been playing something vaguely resembling football (assuming any of us were able to recognise it anymore).
  20. Moschops II
    It's got nothing to do with the board. The reason there was patience with Benitez was because he came here with a brilliant recent track record and was one of if not the most successful young managers in world football. However things turned out six years later, Hodgson's record is and was poor in comparison.
  21. Moschops II
    It's not a complicated situation. He was an appointment made to "steady the ship" and give the appearance of a club at which everyone was pulling in the same direction to appeal to prospective purchasers. If and when we have a new owner, the logic that led to his appointment doesn't apply any more - and in purely footballing terms, he should never have been here in the first place, so the question of whether he should now stay pretty much answers itself. If we as fans aren't going to spend the rest of our lives split into playground factions (a situation some people relish, as it's now given them a prominence they could never have dreamed of before), we need to draw a line under all this shite for good once there's a new owner in place. The quickest way of achieving that is to stop even mentioning Rafa's name, pay off Hodgson and, to coin a phrase, get over it and move on. All of us. Here endeth the sermon.
  22. Moschops II
    And of course they've both responded to Benitez leaving with such inspired performances. Maybe it would have been best for all three of them to have gone.
  23. Moschops II
    If and when we do finally get rid of the parasites, it might be better all round not to have a manager who would then get us relegated six months later.
  24. Moschops II
    Likewise, although I've got an uncomfortable feeling he may not.
  25. Moschops II
    I'd find space for the fans who spent last year attacking Benitez rather than Tom and George, and who continue to prop up the owners financially now.
